What metal are you using?
–B.G.–
You don't want to use anything galvanized. Why not make a grill out of more Ikea cutlery holder?
Burn all the plating off and then wire brush it and then season it with Pam canola oil. Then your good to go.
Keep an eye open in thrift stores for stainless steel potato grater.
Good idea! I have been kinda too obsessed with this project! Everything thing looks like potential stove parts!
I am not sure of the metal, I tried to google it but couldn't find any item description other than "Metal"
It's called expanded metal and it's probably not galvanized, but could be zinc plated. If you heat it to red, the plating should burn off. The metal is probably very thin and will likely warp from the heat. A small piece of stainless would be better. I think that you can get stainless steel hardware cloth at McMaster-Carr. I got some 1/2" square a while back for pot supports.
I found some Stainless welded wire mesh at McMaster, but the smallest was 1" X 1". They also have flattened expanded metal in plain steel and stainless. I often use flattened expanded metal for grills, but in the heavier weights, which I also use for machinery guards.
Thank you so much. I will definitely look into this.
