Arteflame 18" Solid Steel Plancha Griddle Insert With 3" Risers And Lift Handle - For 18" Big Green Egg L, AFBGE18SOLID

Enhance the capabilities of your Egg grill and elevate your home cooking to steakhouse-quality meals with the addition of an Arteflame insert. By swapping out your old grate for the Arteflame plancha/griddle insert, you can achieve the same grilling results as top steakhouse restaurants. The plancha ensures a flawless sear without overcooking the inside of your steak. As your steak sizzles in its own juices, it absorbs the delightful smoky flavor from the live fire. Unlike traditional grill grates where juices drip into the fire, the plancha preserves the flavors, while the live wood fire naturally seasons the meat, resulting in an unmatched taste. The plancha griddle's ability to reach high temperatures is essential for sealing in exceptional taste and flavor. This winning combination is what sets top restaurant steakhouse steaks apart.

Moreover, the solid cooktop of the Arteflame insert is perfect for grilling vegetables, poultry, or even preparing a complete breakfast. You can indulge in delicious bacon and eggs, all cooked to perfection on the versatile cooktop. Made in the USA.

Features

Perfect Searing with the Plancha. The plancha gives the perfect sear without overcooking the inside of your steak. The steak sizzles in its own juices, absorbing the smoky flavor from the live fire. Unlike traditional grill grates, the plancha preserves the juices and flavors. Live wood fire seasons the meat naturally, creating a unique and exceptional taste. The super-hot plancha griddle seals in great taste and flavor, replicating top restaurant steakhouse steaks.

Versatile Cooking with the Solid Cooktop. The solid cooktop is ideal for grilling vegetables, poultry, and complete breakfasts. Try grilling bacon and eggs for a delicious morning meal.

Convenient Design for Egg Grills. The Arteflame Big Green Egg inserts include three 3" risers for elevated grilling. The insert sits just below the felt gasket of your Egg, providing easy access and convenience. The Kamado versions of the Arteflame insert have locating holes to be used on top of the flexible cooking rack.

Carbon Steel vs. Cast Iron. Carbon Steel and Cast Iron are both suitable for cooking and grilling. Carbon Steel contains approximately 1% Carbon, while Cast Iron contains 2%-3% Carbon. The carbon content affects the grain structure of the metal. Cast Iron is prone to cracking and brittleness when heated unevenly, making it unsuitable for grill inserts. Arteflame cooktops, inserts, griddles, and Burger Pucks are exclusively made of Carbon Steel.

Note: When your grill arrives, the cooktop will be silver (unseasoned). It will develop the dark color shown in the images once it has been seasoned and used several times.

*No Grill Grate is required for this product.
