Plancha is Spanish for iron. With the original plancha from SKOTTI, you can enjoy Mediterranean cuisine directly on your SKOTTI. Place the plancha in your SKOTTI grill instead of the grill grate, and thanks to the indirect heat on the plate, you can prepare wonderfully tender and juicy grilled items like shrimp, vegetables, mushrooms, and much more. Or how about a fried egg from the grill?

And with a more intense flavor: Food "cooked" or grilled in its own juices naturally retains its original flavor better.
