Features

• The Plancha: Perfect Sear without Overcooking. Achieve a perfect sear on your steak while maintaining ideal doneness. The plancha allows the steak to sizzle in its own juices, absorbing the smoky flavor from the live fire. Juices from traditional grill grates drip down into the fire, adding flavor. Live wood fire naturally seasons the meat for a unique taste. The plancha griddle gets super hot, sealing in great taste and flavor.
  
  
• Essential Factors for Steakhouse-Quality Steaks. The use of a griddle/plancha, natural smoky flavor, and high heat for perfect searing are crucial for achieving steakhouse-quality steaks in your own backyard.
  
  
• Versatile Cooking. Arteflame inserts are perfect for grilling not only steakhouse-quality steaks but also various other foods. Use them to grill veggies, poultry, or even prepare a complete breakfast with bacon, eggs, and pancakes.
  
  

• Arteflame Inserts for Kamado. Arteflame Kamado inserts come with three 3" risers in the 18" and 24” sizes for convenient grilling. The risers elevate the insert just below the felt gasket of your Kamado, allowing easy access without reaching into the grill. Kamado versions of Arteflame inserts have locating holes to accommodate the manufacturer's accessories.

• Carbon Steel vs. Cast Iron: The Preferred Choice. Carbon Steel is the preferred choice for Arteflame cooktops, inserts, griddles, and Burger Pucks. Carbon Steel contains approximately 1% Carbon, while Cast Iron contains 2%-3% Carbon. Cast Iron is susceptible to cracking due to uneven heating and the presence of carbon, making it less suitable for grill inserts. Arteflame products are exclusively made of Carbon Steel for superior performance.
  
  
• Virtually Maintenance-Free. All Arteflame grill inserts are designed for easy maintenance. Residue can be scraped into the fire, and after the cooktop cools, it can be wiped clean with a cloth or paper towel and food-safe oil.

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.

*Grill Grate is included.
