There is a Greek cheese
, Haloumi, that can be grilled. It’s a great tasting, firm cheese that you can simply plop onto your grill and let it transform into a soft, melted chunk of salty goodness. Unfortunately, it can also stick to the grill and come out as a charred set of chunks when you try to scrape it free.
This silicon grill mat by Grill Friends
will protect Halloumi, fish, and other delicate foods from sticking to your grill. Think of it as a Silpat
for your grill.


The GrillMat was designed by Taming the Flame author and creator of www.girlsattheGrill.com, Elizabeth Karmel, with the intention of solving two problems of outdoor grilling–food sticking to the grill and food falling between the grates. The 11 3/4 x 15 3/4 GrillMat is made from a platinum process silicone that is heat safe up to 500 degrees farenheit and is the only 100 % non-stick cooking sheet designed for indirect heat use on the outdoor grill. The GrillMat is to be used with indirect heat (not over an open flame) which is the preferred grilling method for delicate fish and small foods and vegetables. The GrillMat is perforated with small holes to allow fats and juices to drip away from the food and create the distinctive grill flavor.

Epicurious.com also has great things to say about this mat
Grilling fish is a little tricky because it often sticks, breaks, and falls through the cooking grate. Fish baskets are one option, but fish often sticks to those as well. A silicone mat prevents sticking; you simply lay it directly on the cooking grates and then lay the food on top of it. This one has perforations, which allow the fish juices to drip down to the heat source at which point they vaporize and flavor the fish as it cooks. Silicone mats can also be used to grill vegetables.
