Grilling in no time: The Plancha Griller's Ladle
Plancha grilling depends on the food being grilled being constantly in motion. For this you need a handy spatula, also called a spatula or spatula - the ultimate tool for grilling with the plancha. They come in different designs: The handles are made of durable plastic or wood to protect your hands from the heat. The support plates are made of strong stainless steel. Sometimes the support plate is connected to the handle in a straight line, sometimes at an angle; one spatula has a long, narrow support plate, the other is trapezoidal and short. Most models have a closed blade surface, others are made with an openwork support. When to work with which model depends on the food being grilled and also on personal preference. Not everyone finds every spatula equally comfortable in their hand, and you often work with both hands to safely turn the food or remove it from the plancha, so a "grip test" in a specialist grill shop is recommended. We show a small selection of the most common spatula models here.
Examples of applications for working with the spatula:
The classic plancha has an edge. Grilled food can be pushed against it when turning.
Easily cut up grilled food during the grilling process with the spatula.
If there is no edge on the plate, such as on a fire plate, you should work with two spatulas.
