Abstract: A flame suppressant marinating grill overlay and method of use having raised outer edges, gutters and ridges, said ridges being disposed between said gutters. The ridges contain holes. The flame suppressant marinating grill overlay is placed over the cooking surface of a conventional barbecue grill, food is placed on top of the flame suppressant marinating grill overlay and the conventional barbecue grill is operated as usual. The gutters collect accumulated food juices which serve to marinate the food being cooked and prevent the food from drying out. Excess food juices may escape through the holes contained in the ridges. The flame suppressant marinating grill overlay also serves to protect the food being cooked from burning due to flareups.
