Cast iron reversible grill plate Vilde 50.5×23.5 cm model 199074

Cast iron reversible grill plate Vilde 50.5×23.5 cm model 199074 is a two-sided cooking plate designed for grilling, searing and finishing a variety of foods. One side features parallel ridged grooves for classic grill marks and fat drainage, while the opposite side provides a flat surface for pancakes, sandwiches or delicate items. Made of cast iron, the plate offers strong heat retention and even heat distribution, suitable for use on compatible stovetops, outdoor grills or inside ovens.

Advantages

The reversible design gives flexibility in a single tool: use the ridged side to achieve defined grill marks and reduce contact with rendered fat, or the flat side for even contact and uniform browning. Cast iron construction ensures steady temperatures and long-lasting durability when properly cared for. The generous cooking area of 50.5 × 23.5 cm accommodates several portions at once, making it practical for family meals or batch cooking. The plate is compatible with a range of heat sources commonly used with cast iron cookware.

• Grilling steaks, chops and burgers with visible grill marks

How to use

Preheat the cast iron plate gradually on the chosen heat source until it reaches the desired cooking temperature. For grilling with ridges, preheat both plate and food to ensure clear grill marks; for flat-surface cooking, allow the plate to become evenly hot for consistent browning. Use an appropriate amount of oil or fat to prevent sticking when required, and avoid rapid temperature changes such as immersing a hot plate in cold water. When finished, allow the plate to cool before cleaning to protect the material and seasoning.

Usage recommendations

Season the cast iron plate before first use and maintain its seasoning with light oiling after cleaning. Avoid abrasive detergents or steel wool that can remove seasoning; instead, clean with warm water and a brush or non-abrasive sponge. For best results, preheat the plate slowly and use medium to high heat for searing or grilling, and moderate heat for delicate items. Store in a dry place to prevent rust and reapply a thin layer of oil if prolonged storage is planned.
