No they are not covered. We use this grate to place in a shallow jelly roll pan to bake bacon. Good product ...no complaints.

They are just cast iron, no finish of any kind added on. Thus the term Matte as opposed to a baked on enamel finish. I love mine. If you buy them just, just clean them with a soft bristle wire brush as soon as you finish cooking. They will be ready for the next time you use them.

The description says "...heavy duty cast-iron enameled cooking grates..." The description of the grates is accurate. I clean after each use, and they still seem new.

I bought mine in February 2014, and the grates are definitely ceramic-coated cast iron which, in my view, cook better than stainless steel.

no porcelain enamel here. Entire unit: interior, exterior, pan and crumb tray, are steel. Not sure that any of it is stainless, though...

I bought them as a gift for a friend who LOVES cooking. From what I can remember, they were ceramic. My friend loves them.She says they seal well and seem durable

I'm not 100% sure, but I think they are 100% ceramic. If they were just ceramic-coated, I think I would have noticed by now because I've had it for a year and I haven't noticed any wear or tear on the plates. It works great!

Yes, they're porcelain coated. They don't need seasoning in the same way that cast iron grids do.

It is NOT porcelain. It is a thinner non stick material. Like anodized cookware.

Neither, they're porcelain. I like the not too thick not too thin feel of them. They're very stylish and yet they are durable. I love them!

If your original grates were cast iron, these will be a disappointment as they are very thin. I placed them over my original grates rather than removing the originals. Works but non-aesthetic.

Hi. They look to be cast iron, not enamel. As my review indicates, we have had some trouble with this, particularly with technical support. The burners don't always light and stay lit. The oven is great but the fan can stay on forever after cooking at high temps. Sometimes I have to flip the breaker to turn it off. On the plus side, it looks great and is easy to clean.

Yes, they are. There are designs in the bottom that you might call embossed or indented, but they are flat. This is a great set. I cook for 6 so I had to fill it out with some bigger pots and pans, but they still look like new after four and a half years.
