Know before you buy
No, this plancha is made from stainless steel and does not require a seasoning process like cast iron. You can begin cooking on it immediately after a quick wash.
Yes, the 3mm thick stainless steel is designed to withstand high temperatures ranging from 225°F to 662°F, making it suitable for use over charcoal grills or gas burners.
Because the surface is flat without a grease channel, it is best to manage fat by wiping the surface with a paper towel or using a scraper between batches. It is ideal for foods that don't produce excessive rendered fat.
As with any stainless steel cookware, it is important to preheat the plancha properly and use a small amount of oil or fat to create a non-stick barrier. Once the surface is hot, it provides an excellent sear for meats and seafood.
The handles are made of the same stainless steel as the body, meaning they will get hot during use. Always use heat-resistant gloves or tongs when handling the plancha while it is on the heat source.
Yes, the stainless steel construction is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with warm, soapy water is often faster and helps maintain the finish of the steel over time.
