How to make your own food-grade stainless steel plancha for barbecue?

The beautiful days are slowly starting to show. That's why it's time to prepare all the necessary equipment for a good grill in the sun.

Discover how I made a stainless steel food-grade plancha for my barbecue at home using a stainless steel plate. Ready? Let's go!

🔨 How to make a stainless steel plancha for your barbecue?

First of all, take the dimensions of your barbecue

It's time to get the tape measure out!

To create the plancha of your dreams, you will need to know the exact dimensions of your barbecue. Measure the width and the height to ensure that your new plancha fits perfectly. For a perfect fit, the correct measurements are essential.

Now, go to our configurator!

To configure your stainless steel plancha quickly and easily go to our online configurator to prepare for summer as it should be:

What type of stainless steel to choose?

For a plancha that stands the test of time, choose 304L stainless steel. This stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance and optimal heat distribution. Moreover, its ease of cleaning will make your life easier.

The thickness? An 8mm is ideal and sufficient for harmonious heat distribution.

What shape will your plancha be?

Choosing the shape of your plancha is like choosing a suit for your wedding. Rectangular? Square? Round? Or even a unique shape for the creatives at heart.

According to the shape of your barbecue, you will have to choose the customization of your plate. Your barbecue space can be as unique as you are.

So, ready to design the shape of your next custom plancha?

Just have your custom plancha delivered!

You have chosen the shape, determined the material, taken the dimensions… Bravo! You will soon be the proud owner of a custom plancha, designed especially for you. All that's left is to order it and have it delivered to your home!

🔨 Go even further with a mixed plancha?

An improved version of a classic plancha!

The mixed plancha is the perfect tool for those who like to vary the pleasures. On the grill or a plancha, why choose when you can have both? With a mixed plancha, you enjoy the best of both worlds and push the limits of your outdoor cooking. Ready to turn your meals into real culinary adventures?

Let yourself be taken into a plancha-grill made by a customer:

🔩 Stainless steel or cast iron: which material for your plancha?

Choosing between a stainless steel plancha and a cast iron plancha may seem complicated, but here's the essence.

The stainless steel plancha: Super resistant and neither rust nor heat is a problem. Perfect for outdoor use, it's also very easy to clean. Ideal for those who like to cook often!
The cast iron plancha: A champion of heat retention. It cooks your food evenly and is perfect for searing at high temperatures. However, be careful, it requires a bit more maintenance to avoid rust.

More team stainless steel or team cast iron? Personally, we're more... stainless steel!

🔩 Why stainless steel is the superhero of custom planchas?

You're wondering why stainless steel is the star material for a custom plancha? Let's get straight to the point!

Stainless steel is like the superhero of plancha materials. Why? Because it has superpowers! It resists heat, weather, and rust. Your stainless steel plancha will keep its superb look, whether it rains, snows, or shines.

Moreover, stainless steel is the champion of cleanliness. It is hygienic and super easy to clean. No more long hours of cleaning after the Sunday barbecue. For more information about stainless steel, you can refer to the government website on the DGCCRF.

And the best for last: a custom stainless steel plancha is like having your own superhero costume. You can customize it according to your tastes and needs. Whether you're a pro at grills for big family parties or an enthusiast of intimate outdoor meals, stainless steel is here to serve you.

🧽 Barbecue finished, it's time to clean your stainless steel plancha!

Once the last piece of grilled meat and the last skewers are savored, it's time to take care of your stainless steel plancha. A good cleaning not only ensures longevity for your equipment, but also ensures top flavors for your next barbecues.

Roll up your sleeves, get your best sponge, and discover our tip for cleaning your stainless steel plancha:

Bonjour
Je cherche une plancha sur mesure mais avec des bords. J’en ai vu une sur le site mais impossible à configurer. D’avance merci pour votre aide

Replied by: John Steel On 2023-06-19 Bonjour,
Je vous remercie pour votre commentaire.

Malheureusement, nous ne proposons pas de pliage.
Les bords sont impossibles.

Dans l'article, vous voyez des bords car ce sont des clients qui l'ont modifié après commande.
Comme le fait qu'elle soient noirs, nous ne proposons pas de peinture non plus.

Cordialement,
Brigitte

Bonjour Brigitte,
Bonjour John,

Vous m'avez donné faim, avec vos histoires de barbecue et plancha. Moi, je suis fan du teppenyaki japonais.
J'ai une plaque induction 4 zones, en 550x550mm.
Je poserai bien une plaque d'inox dessus.
Est-ce que vous auriez connaissance de quelqu'un qui a déjà fait ce genre de choses ?
Je crains qu'au total ce soit un peu lourd.

Replied by: John Steel On 2018-09-17 Bonjour Christian,
vous n'êtes pas le seul à aimer le teppanyaki ;)
Pour pouvoir en faire chez vous, il faudra opter pour une tôle d'inox brut de 6 mm minimum pour éviter la déformation par la chaleur. On vous conseille fortement de poncer la face sur laquelle vous allez poser vos aliments avant de l'utiliser la première fois.
Vous pouvez passer commande par ici : https://www.john-steel.com/fr/inox/14-plaque-inox-304l-brut.html
Pour info, cette plaque d'inox à vos dimensions pèserait approximativement 12 kg.
Bon appétit !
