Grill plate Steba PG 4 ribbed smooth for contact grill — ribbed and smooth surfaces

Steba PG 4 grill plate is a replacement or accessory plate designed for compatible contact grills, offering both ribbed and smooth cooking surfaces. The ribbed side creates defined grill marks and allows fat to drain away from food, while the smooth side provides an even flat surface ideal for pancakes, eggs, delicate fish and other items that require full contact with the plate. Constructed for simple installation and removal, this plate is intended to restore or expand the functionality of Steba-compatible contact grills and to simplify routine cleaning and food preparation at home.

Advantages

The dual-surface design combines a ribbed grilling area with a flat smooth surface in a single plate, increasing versatility without the need to change appliances. The ribbed section helps reduce contact with excess fat and produces clear sear marks, while the smooth section ensures even heat transfer for delicate foods. The plate is made to fit compatible Steba contact grills and to be easy to replace, enabling quick conversion between cooking modes. Its surfaces are constructed to withstand repeated use under typical domestic cooking conditions and to be straightforward to wipe clean after use.

How to use

Ensure the contact grill is unplugged and cool before installing or removing the plate. Align the plate with the grill’s mounting points and secure it according to the grill’s instructions. Preheat the grill to the required temperature for the food you are preparing. Use the ribbed side when you need grill marks and fat separation; use the smooth side for batter-based items, eggs or delicate fillets that benefit from full contact. After cooking, switch off and unplug the appliance, allow the plate to cool before wiping away residues with a soft cloth or sponge; follow the grill manufacturer's guidance for safe removal and cleaning to avoid damaging the attachment points or surface coating.

Usage recommendations

To maintain surface performance and longevity, avoid using abrasive metal scouring pads or sharp utensils that can scratch the cooking surfaces. Use moderate oiling if required for non-stick performance and follow the grill manufacturer's temperature guidelines. Regular inspection of mounting points and the plate surface helps ensure safe operation and consistent cooking results.
