Gas Griddle Flat Top Hot Plate with 3 burners

A plancha is a wonderful addition to your outdoor entertaining options. This flat-top grill looks a little like a griddle but works in a slightly different way, utilising a circular rather than straight heating element.

The New 3 Burner Plancha is great fun to use and creates delicious grills of all types, which are guaranteed to be consistent in finish.

As a result of the different heat zones, it is easy to ‘zone’ your barbecue cooking and have several different foodstuffs grilling simultaneously.

The huge griddle is manufactured in the highest quality enamelled steel, with a wonderfully large grill surface that is extremely easy to clean. It has three sturdy burners and an easy-to-use piezo ignition system, which is used in conjunction with bottled LPG gas. Supplied with an LPG gas hose and regulator.

This type of cooking technology results in a particularly even and very hot cooking surface, which is created by the radial spread of heat across the flat surface. Flat-top grills have been used for centuries in cultures across the world and have been continually evolving. The New 3 Burner Plancha utilises the best features from the flat-top grills of the past and has evolved them into a thoroughly modern, portable unit suitable for every garden.

The first flat-top grills, which were constructed from clay, were used in Central America and Mexico for baking corn bread. The Spanish introduced metal grills and named them ‘plancha’, meaning ‘metal plate’. When you order food cooked ‘la plancha’ in a restaurant, you will be served meat or fish that has been quickly cooked on the grill, retaining all its wonderful flavour.

A grill of this type has multiple applications - use it to grill, roast, or flambe. Due to the design, pans and pots can be put directly upon the cooking surface, offering superb flexibility. A plancha is the perfect way in which to cook a delicious feast in your own garden for any number of guests. It will produce delicious sausages, hot dogs and hamburgers and is also ideal to prepare more delicate fare such as steaks, salmon, vegetable skewers, tacos, and even pancakes.

Cooking on a high-quality gas model such as the New 3 Burner Plancha ensures that your set-up time is quick and you can use it pretty much anywhere, including the terrace, patio or out camping. As flat-top grills have a solid heating surface, problems such as food falling through the grate - as often experienced with a traditional barbecue set-up - are eradicated; in addition, these grills are far more energy efficient. A flat-top grill basically captures the heat produced beneath the steel surface, whereas the heat escapes through the grate with a regular barbecue. A flat-top grill also emits significantly less smoke into the atmosphere, which is better for the environment, and any meat juices or food particles are prevented from reaching the burners, which means the risk of flare-ups is eliminated.

The Plancha comes with a detachable stand with sidetables and two wheels for easily maneuvering your Gas Grill.

All in all, the New 3 Burner Plancha is the perfect choice if you are looking for an outdoor cooking method that offers a consistent temperature, ample capacity and ultimate flexibility.
