What is a (Plancha) Grilling Plate?
A Griddle Plate, also known as a griddle, fire plate or plancha, is a flat plate with a round opening in the middle. The food fried on the smooth surface is heated from underneath by a heat source.
The Pyron Plate Griddle Plate by Feuerhand is designed for the Pyron Fire Barrel. The blazing fire in the Fire Barrel heats up the plate to extremely high temperatures from below. Due to the size of the Griddle Plate and varying exposure to heat there are also different heat zones. The further you place your food near the central Cooking Device, the higher the temperatures. It thus offers many possibilities, from searing close to the centre to reheating on the outer edge. With the Made-in-Germany Pyron Plate Griddle Plate you can enjoy a special kind of barbecue experience that is already very popular in Spain and France.

What kind of oil is recommended for the (plancha) Griddle Plate?
To successfully grill on your plancha, you need the right oil. If you like healthy cooking and roasting, the Pyron Plate Grilling Plate provides all the options. When it comes to oil, however, you should avoid olive oil or other types of oil with a low smoke point that cannot withstand high temperatures.
Your fire plate becomes very hot, so oils with a high smoke point that can be heated strongly are ideal. As healthy as some oils may be, only highly heatable oils and fats such as sunflower oil, soybean oil or groundnut oil belong on the Griddle Plate.

What material should a Griddle Plate be made of and how strong should it be?

The Feuerhand Pyron Plate Griddle Plate is made in Germany and consists of 6 mm thick steel. It is therefore robust enough to retain its shape even during prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

Which is better, the Grilling Grate or Griddle Plate?
Grilling on a plancha or Griddle Plate is the modern, Mediterranean way of grilling. If you use a flat surface such as a Griddle Plate, you will not receive any grilling pattern. Still, you will benefit from the grilling flavour. Food that could easily fall through the Grilling Grate during grilling is positioned safely on a Griddle Plate. As the Griddle Plate is slightly curved downwards so cooking liquids are kept in place and your terrace is always safe.
You can even prepare desserts, burger patties or fried eggs on the Griddle Plate. The Pyron Plate Griddle Plate by Feuerhand is 57 cm in diameter. With this much space you can provide for all your family and friends at the same time. Thanks to the different heat zones, your meat, fish or vegetable dishes will turn out just right – and with the matching Cooking Device you can also cook all at once.
It is hard to imagine Spanish and French food without fire plates. Gourmet chefs have known this for a long time which is why the Griddle Plate “Made in Germany” is also increasingly popular in European gardens and terraces.
How to clean a (plancha) Griddle Plate?
Cleaning a Griddle Plate is very easy as there is no need for aggressive cleaning agents let alone a steel brush. The Feuerhand Pyron Plate Griddle Plate is seasoned before the first use. This creates the all-important patina that continues to develop with every use. This layer must be retained as it prevents food from sticking to your Griddle Plate. You should therefore avoid cleaning methods that might damage your patina.
It is sufficient to rinse the Griddle Plate with clear water after it has cooled down and remove any residues with a scraper. Please do not use any dishwashing liquid as this would destroy the patina. After cleaning, you should dry your Grilling Plate well, apply some heat-resistant and long-lasting oil and store in a dry place. Detailed information you can also read in the user manual.
How to season a Griddle Plate?
Before the first use the Feuerhand Pyron Plate Griddle Plate must be seasoned. For this purpose, you need a heat-resistant oil. First, light the fire in the Pyron and place the Pyron Plate on its three-armed support frame.
Please note:
During the first use, the plate will arch. Due to the material, it cannot be predicted if the arching will take place upwards or downwards. If the plate arched upwards please remove the cooking support wearing heat resistant gloves and park on a heat-resistant surface. Turn the entire plate over so that it is arched downwards and carefully reinsert the cooking support. Afterwards, you may season your Pyron Plate.
The Pyron Plate is coated ex works with foodsafe paraffin oil in order to prevent corrosion. However, you must season your Pyron Plate before using it for the first time. Apply a heat-resistant oil, such as linseed oil, rapeseed oil or pumpkin seed oil, to your Griddle Plate so that it creates a layer. Spread the oil over the entire surface, e.g. with a brush. Place the Pyron Plate on your running Pyron. Wait until the oil stops smoking. After some time, your Griddle Plate will darken in places or over a larger area and the typical patina will form. Remove the Griddle Plate from the Pyron and allow the plate to slowly cool. Rinse the Griddle Plate with hot water and carefully remove any residues. Finally, dry the plate thoroughly and re-oil it. Use one of the oils mentioned above.
Repeat the seasoning process two more times: Coat the Pyron Plate with oil, wait until the oil stops smoking, let the plate cool down, wash it with hot water and carefully remove any residue. The Feuerhand Pyron Plate is now ready for use. After each use, simply rinse the plate with hot water or wipe it with a paper towel. For corrosion protection, there should always be a thin layer of oil/grease. The seasoning process can be repeated as often as necessary. You can find more information in the instruction manual.
