A grill features raised cooking bars that create the classic BBQ sear marks and allow excess fats to drain away, making it ideal for steaks, sausages, chicken and vegetables.

A griddle or hotplate has a flat cooking surface that evenly distributes heat, making it perfect for foods like eggs, bacon, pancakes, onions, seafood and smashed burgers that benefit from a solid cooking surface.

Many BBQ enthusiasts choose to use both, giving them the flexibility to cook a wider variety of meals.

Before first use, wash the plate with warm water, dry it thoroughly, then apply a thin coat of cooking oil. Heat the plate until the oil bonds to the surface.

After cooking, clean the plate while it's still warm using a BBQ brush or scraper and warm water if needed. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the plate, as this can strip away the seasoning and promote rust. Once clean, dry the plate completely and apply a light coat of oil before storing.

Regular seasoning and proper care will help protect your cast iron BBQ plate, improve its non-stick performance, and extend its lifespan.

Cast iron is the preferred choice for serious BBQ enthusiasts because of its superior cooking performance.

Compared to stainless steel, cast iron retains heat much more effectively, delivering higher cooking temperatures, better searing and more even heat distribution across the cooking surface. This makes it ideal for cooking steaks, burgers, sausages and other foods that benefit from consistent, high heat.

While stainless steel is often easier to maintain, it doesn't retain heat as well as cast iron, which can result in a less effective sear and more temperature fluctuation during cooking.

Our matt finish features the same durable porcelain enamel coating as our gloss finish, so there is no difference in cooking performance, durability or protection. The only real advantage of the matt finish is that it is more forgiving when it comes to everyday use, as it helps disguise minor scratches and wear more effectively than a gloss finish.

Yes. While our cast iron grills are available as pairs, we also offer them individually, giving you the flexibility to purchase just one if that's all you need.

Whether you're replacing a single worn grill or prefer to combine a grill with a hotplate for a more versatile cooking setup, buying a single grill can be a practical and cost-effective option.
