Plancha — what is it about?
Throughout the ages, many consumers have preferred the entire grilling area of a conventional gas grill to be an enclosed area. However, this is not possible with a standard gas grill because the surface temperatures of the grill’s firebox and body would rise above the standard limits if the grilling area were completely sealed. The heat cannot escape from the inside of the grill. The solution to this problem is the new Mustang Plate 3.
Sealed, even grilling area
With the Mustang Plate 3 gas grill, the entire grilling area is a uniform, even cooking surface, the plancha. Plancha is a Spanish term meaning a closed cooking area. The body of the grill has separate openings that allow heat to escape from under the plancha. The Mustang Plate 3’s sealed plancha, with low side walls, allows small food items to turn on the grill without dripping off the outside.
The Plate 3 plancha is made of enamelled steel. Thanks to the enamelling, food hardly sticks to the plancha and it is very easy to clean it after use. With the plancha, you can cook regular steaks and chicken fillets just like on a regular grill. But it’s also ideal for cooking, for example, stir-fries, pancakes, prawns and other seafood. It’s made for smashing burgers.
Even temperature throughout the grilling area
The Mustang Plate 3 grill has three burners that ensure a truly even temperature across the entire plancha area. It doesn’t matter if the food is in the front or the back of the grill. The temperature is the same everywhere. Plate 3 allows you to close the grill lid when in use. This ensures an even more even heat distribution in the grilling area. Of course, the heat is sufficient even when grilling with the lid open. The burners have battery-operated ignition.
The control knobs have colour-changing LED lights. When the led lights are turned on, the control knobs glow blue. When a burner is turned on, the LED light on the control knob changes to red. This makes it easy to see which bulbs have been turned on.
Easy cleaning
After use, the grill is easy to clean by scraping any grease left on the plancha through the opening in the front of the grill into a pull-out grease cup. The plancha itself is lifted out of its place and washed clean in the sink.
Under the Plate 3 grill, one of the new additions for the 2025 season is the Mustang utility table storage cabinet. It serves as an excellent work surface under the Plate 3 grill, or as a serving tray for food. It’s also a great platform for baking pizza. Its 304 stainless steel platform is food grade approved.
