What is a ground steel gas plancha?

A ground steel plate is a type of cooking surface commonly used for grilling. It consists of a sheet of steel that has undergone a grinding process, which involves sanding and polishing the surface of the steel until it is completely smooth and uniform. This finish allows the steel plancha to evenly distribute heat, making it ideal for grilling food evenly.

How does a ground steel gas plancha work?

When cooking with a ground steel hob, the heat is evenly distributed over the entire surface. This creates a large, flat cooking surface, ideal for cooking multiple foods at once. The plate is heated to a high temperature, usually between 350 and 450 degrees Fahrenheit, in order to cook food quickly and evenly.

The plate must be preheated to the appropriate temperature before food is placed on the surface. Food can be cooked directly on the plate, without adding oil or fat, or with a small amount of oil or butter.

What are the advantages of a ground steel gas plancha?

- Precision: the flat and smooth surface of a ground steel plate guarantees a high degree of precision in all applications where it is used.

- Durability: Ground steel plates are made from high-quality steel, which makes them very strong and durable.

- Wear resistance: The precision grinding process used to create the ground steel plates gives them a very hard surface, making them wear-resistant.

- Stability: Ground steel plates are very stable and do not deform over time, which means they are a reliable reference surface for any application in which they are used.

How to clean a ground steel plancha?

Cleaning a steel plate is a simple process that can be done in a few steps:

1. Turn off the heat and let the plate cool down completely.

2. Using a scraper or metal spatula, remove food or grease that has accumulated on the surface of the plate.

3. Pour a bit hot water on the surface of the plancha and spread it with a sponge or cloth.

4. Apply a small amount of mild soap or detergent to the surface of the plate and rub it with a non-abrasive scouring pad or sponge.

How to choose a ground steel plancha?

Choosing a ground steel cooktop requires consideration of several important factors to ensure that you select the right product for your needs:

- Size: You must choose a size adapted to your culinary needs and the size of your cooking surface.

- Thickness: Thicker plates tend to heat up more slowly, but retain heat better, while thinner plates heat up faster, but lose heat quickly.

- Coating: Some ground steel cooktops have a non-stick coating, such as Teflon. Although these coatings make cleaning easier, they may be prone to scratches and may not be suitable for cooking at high temperatures.

What is the difference between a ground steel plancha and a cast iron plancha?

Rectified steel grills and cast iron grills are popular cooking surfaces, but there are some key differences between both:

- Material: Ground steel plates are made from a single sheet of steel that is ground and polished, while cast iron plates are made from cast iron that is cast into a mold and then cooled.

- Weight: Cast iron plates are generally heavier than ground steel plates, which can make them difficult to handle and store.

- Heat distribution: Cast iron plates tend to heat up more slowly than ground steel, but retain heat better.

- Maintenance: Both types of plates require regular treatment to maintain their non-stick surface and prevent rust and corrosion. However, ground steel plates are generally easier to clean and maintain than cast iron plates.

- Price: Ground steel grills are generally cheaper than cast iron grills, making them a more affordable option for home cooks.
