While its function is similar to that of a barbecue and a stone grill, it nevertheless has some differences. Unlike other cooking appliances, the planchaallows you to cook different types of food at the desired temperature. In addition, the electric griddle is portable, so you can enjoy it in both winter and summer.
Quelle est la différence entre un barbecue et une plancha ?
The griddle allows you to cook all types of food, regardless of their size. Thanks to itsstainless steel hob, cook both a piece of meat and finely sliced foods, such as small vegetables. On the contrary, the gaps in a barbecue grill, whether charcoal, electric or gas, prevent this type of cooking. In addition, aelectric plancha or gas keep the cooking juice,while a barbecue dries out food.
By choosing the plancha, you are also opting for a healthy cooking. The fat is collected in a special container. Whereas when cooking on a barbecue, the fat falls onto the flames and burns, producing harmful black smoke. The plancha also allows for a rapid increase in power to grill your food, while being much more precise than a barbecue. It lights up like a hotplate and allows you to cook in just a few minutes, to obtain the desired temperature precisely.The plancha is therefore a cooking method suitable for all types of dishes.
What is the difference between a stone grill and a plancha?
The main difference between planchas and pierrades is theirtype of cooking surface. The pierrade is a device equipped with a natural stone plate. The plancha most often has astainless steel or enamelled cast iron coating. This affects their maintenance: while a plancha can withstand hot cleaning perfectly, a pierrade should only be cleaned cold, to avoid cracking its stone plate.
