The Kamado Bono Cast Iron Flat Surface for Multifunctional System is a premium accessory designed to expand the culinary capabilities of your kamado grill. Crafted from high-quality, durable cast iron, this flat surface is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the multifunctional cooking system, providing a stable and reliable platform for a wide variety of cooking techniques. Its robust construction ensures exceptional heat retention and consistent heat distribution across the entire surface, which is essential for achieving professional-grade results in your outdoor kitchen.
Advantages
The primary benefit of this cast iron flat surface is its superior thermal mass, which allows it to maintain high temperatures for effective searing and browning. Unlike standard grill grates, this flat surface prevents juices and fats from dripping directly onto the coals, reducing flare-ups and allowing you to cook delicate ingredients that would otherwise fall through the grates. The material is highly durable and, with proper maintenance, will develop a natural non-stick patina over time, making it a long-lasting addition to your grilling equipment.
Suitable for
- Searing steaks and chops for a perfect crust
- Frying eggs, bacon, or pancakes for outdoor breakfasts
- Cooking delicate seafood like scallops or shrimp
- Sautéing vegetables and stir-frying
- Preparing smash burgers
When it may not be suitable
This accessory may not be the best choice if you are looking to achieve the classic char-grill marks associated with open-flame cooking, as the flat surface creates a solid barrier. Additionally, it requires more intensive cleaning and seasoning compared to stainless steel or porcelain-coated accessories to prevent rust.
Key specifications
- Material: Durable cast iron
- Length: 55 cm
- Color: Black
- Compatibility: Designed for Kamado Bono multifunctional cooking systems
How to use
To use the flat surface, place it securely within the multifunctional cooking system rack inside your kamado grill. Preheat the grill and the cast iron surface together to ensure even heat distribution before adding any food. It is recommended to apply a light coating of high-smoke-point oil to the surface before cooking to enhance the non-stick properties. After use, allow the surface to cool completely before cleaning with warm water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh detergents.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure your grill model is compatible with the multifunctional cooking system
- Verify that the 55 cm length fits your specific grill diameter
- Be prepared to perform regular seasoning to maintain the cast iron quality
- Consider the weight of the cast iron when handling
Usage recommendations
Always keep the cast iron surface lightly oiled when stored to prevent oxidation and rust. Avoid using metal utensils that might scratch the seasoning, and never submerge a hot cast iron plate in cold water to prevent thermal shock and potential cracking.
