💡 Pro Tip — Replace Grates in Pairs or Sets:
If one grate has cracked or worn through, the others on the same range have seen the same heat cycles and use. Replacing the full set at the same time gives you a uniform look and prevents the remaining grates from failing one by one over the next few months.
