What is a Plancha BBQ?

A Plancha BBQ is designed for cooking on a thick, flat metal plate over live fire. The hot plate gives you a large, even cooking surface that is ideal for searing meat, fish, seafood and vegetables at high temperatures with minimal oil. It is a sociable way to cook outdoors, allowing you to prepare food directly on the plate while guests gather around the fire.

What is the difference between the Plancha Kadai Kit and Set?

The Plancha Kadai comes as a complete outdoor cooking station. The kit includes a mango wood table base, limestone top, Plancha Plate, 70cm Kadai bowl, Ring Fence, Kadai Beads, tongs and brush. The Plancha Set includes the Tripod Pulley, Shield and Table Grill.

What can I cook on a Plancha Kadai?

The Plancha Kadai is ideal for high-heat outdoor cooking, including steaks, fish, prawns, burgers, vegetables, flatbreads and sharing-style dishes. The flat plate helps create a caramelised finish while keeping smaller ingredients from falling through a grill. It is especially good for searing, grilling and cooking several ingredients at once.

How is a Plancha BBQ different from a standard barbecue?

A standard barbecue usually cooks food on a grill over charcoal or flame, while a Plancha BBQ uses a solid flat plate as the main cooking surface. This gives you more control over delicate foods, smaller ingredients and high-heat searing. It also creates a more flexible cooking space, with the fire bowl beneath bringing heat, flame and atmosphere to the setup.

Can I use the Plancha Tripod Pulley with the Plancha Kadai?

Yes, the Plancha Tripod Pulley is designed specifically for the Plancha Kadai. It attaches to the Plancha Plate and allows you to raise and lower food or cookware over the fire using the supplied chain. This adds another layer of live-fire cooking, giving you more control over heat, height and cooking style.

What accessories can I use with the Plancha Tripod Pulley?

The Plancha Tripod Pulley is designed to work with Kadai’s tripod cookware accessories. This lets you suspend compatible cookware above the fire for slow cooking, searing, simmering or roasting while still using the Plancha Plate below. It turns the Plancha Kadai into a more versatile live-fire cooking setup.
