A plancha is a type of cast-iron grill where you can cook steaks, meat, vegetables, fish, and even fruit and pancakes. This grilling device is perfect for Mediterranean cuisine lovers. Did you know that the plancha grilling method was invented by the Spanish? The name plancha literally means ‘iron’ or ‘plate’.

This method uses temperatures between 300-350°C, and the griddle retains heat evenly, so you can grill meat, fish, seafood, and vegetables at high temperatures. In addition, you may finish your dish with sauces and marinades. Plus, any liquids or fats drain away easily.

After cooking, you can easily clean the grill by scraping it while it’s still warm with a spatula and water, and then emptying the waste into the collection tray.

The plancha replaces a traditional barbecue, as we want to avoid fire hazards.
