Abstract: According to one embodiment, a food support grate includes a plurality of slats. Each of the slats has an upper cooking surface having an upper apex; a lower cooking surface having a lower apex; a rear side; and a front side. The food support grate further includes a plurality of bridges that each couple two or more adjacent slats to each other. The upper apexes define an upper plane and the lower apexes define a lower plane. The rear sides and the front sides each have a portion positioned at an oblique angle with respect to one of the upper and lower planes. The upper apex of each of the slats has a first radius of curvature, and the lower apex of each of the slats has a second radius of curvature. The first radius of curvature is smaller than the second radius of curvature.
