Know before you buy
The plancha is designed for high-temperature grilling and is compatible with most standard stovetops, including gas and electric, provided they can reach the necessary heat range. Always ensure your burner size matches the dimensions of the griddle for the most even heat distribution.
Yes, the 3mm thickness is specifically chosen to provide a balance between rapid heat conduction and structural integrity. This gauge is robust enough to resist warping under the high temperatures required for authentic searing.
The Kasai Konro Plancha Nano is made of high-quality stainless steel, which is not inherently non-stick. To achieve the best results and prevent sticking, we recommend preheating the surface properly and using a small amount of high-smoke-point oil before adding your ingredients.
The integrated handles are designed for easy lifting and maneuvering, but they will become hot during use. We recommend using heat-resistant oven mitts or silicone grips whenever you need to move the plancha while it is on or immediately after removing it from the heat source.
Yes, because the surface is durable stainless steel, you can safely use metal spatulas and tongs without worrying about damaging a non-stick coating. This makes it ideal for scraping off caramelized bits or flipping hearty items like steaks and burgers.
