What does the "gloss" in the name refer to? Are the grates porcelain enamel coated?

When mine arrived, they had a gloss, shiny paint finish, but this is irrelevant as the gloss goes away the first time you cook on the grill. I do not see the "gloss" as either a plus or a minus in evaluating the item---which has proven totally successful and satisfactory.

This is summer # 2 using mine. They clean up nicely and I cook a lot of salmon, burgers, steaks, and oiled veggies on them. They certainly are enamel coated but I'm not metallurgist so I have no idea if it's porcelain. I use a wire brush to clean them and sometimes put them in the dishwasher. I've used the scrapper tool on the wire brush to remove dripping gunk but not every cook event is this necessary.

I believe it is black porcelain. They work very good, and clean up nicely. These cast iron replacement grids work, and last much longer than the wire grids. Hope this helps.

Mine were steel with "gloss" paint on them, but seem to be holding up really well.

The porcelain enamel exterior is applied to a steel body with a non stick coated interior

A glazed kind of porcelain. It is not completely non-stick, but a little spray release works well.

No glossy coating, dull coating on both sides. It's really quite wonderful to work with. When I run low I plan on ordering more.

No I do not believe they have a coating finish on them, they are stainless steel.

I believe it is. It been a while since I ordered. These are very nice grates. I am well satisfied so it must have be a good deal.

I assume you mean the cooking grates. The cooking grates are not stainless steel. They are a nonstick coated enamel (black color).

As another reviewer mentioned, it's a type of polymer with the color all the way through. This means no chipping or scratching off the finish. It is, however, somewhat of a matte finish and not the high gloss of enamel.

I'd call it semi-gloss. Good quality not cheap looking. Trust me I always go for high end items.

Honestly I do not remember. I am very pleased with the grates. They are heavy and fit perfectly. I would check my gril but my grill cover is loaded down with snow.

Not according to the reviews on here. They are porcelain-coated steel. At least two folks complained about that. Just read all the reviews.

Only gloss. Kikkerland sells the matte finish. We decided against that coating because it gets dirty very easily.

OK, I saw this answer from another poster and feel that his answer should be repeated. These are porcelain coated cast iron grates. If you want them to last, do not use any kind of metal brush on them. Here's what the other poster and I did. After grilling, turn the grill up high for about ten minutes so the stuff on the grill turns to ash. Let the grill totally cool. Then use a nylon bristle brush instead of a metal one. I brushed the grill, then went over it with a wet nylon brush, then wiped it clean with a paper towel. My last grate lasted about seven years. This method should help it last much longer.

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

they have a matt finish not porcelain. I am happy with their construction and cooking results.

I do not know a specific name, but the coating looks normal, the surface is not durable at all, bones can already damage the surface.
