Grilling with a difference: WMF Profi Plus Plancha Grill

Geislingen, April 2021

The WMF brand is further strengthening its expertise this summer in the grill segment. With its wide variety of grilling options, the WMF Profi Plus Plancha Grill is raising the BBQ range to a whole new level. From delicious Spanish plancha recipes to mouth-watering Japanese teppanyaki, the Plancha Grill always produces outstanding results. And in keeping with the high standards of WMF, the device also complies with top levels of safety and is certified for outdoor use.

Used by the Spanish since the 19th century, the plancha is the ideal grill for preparing food at large celebrations. After all, alongside its festive and convivial character, the plancha grill is particularly quick and easy to use – which means you can spend far more time with your guests. Now, just like back then, aromatic cooking takes centre stage, making the planch a aparticularly popular form of food preparation in Spain and France.

A plancha grills food on an incredibly hot flat-top griddle (“plancha” is Spanish for “plate”). A wonderfully versatile way of cooking, it prepares food that is healthier and lower in fat than with classic grilling methods. Particularly well-suited for preparation on the plancha are small items such as prawns, shrimp or grilled vegetables – because in contrast to conventional grilling, there’s no danger of the food falling through the grill’s grate.

The plancha is also known for its aromatic combinations: marinades, alcohol and juices are traditionally poured over the items on the grill –a form of cooking that works far better on a griddle than on a conventional device. Thanks to extremely high temperatures, moisture from the food evaporates and forms droplets on the surface of the grill. Rather than being transferred back to the food, the liquids collect between the grill plate and ingredients, which then literally “float” on a layer of steam above the griddle. This process is known as “sublimation” and is particularly good at transferring aromas and spices to the food. The surface caramelises, resulting in incredibly delicious grilled treats: crispy on the outside and wonderfully succulent on the inside.

The multi-talented plancha is becoming a lot more popular in Germany, too. With its selection of high temperature levels, impressive power output and large grilling surface (64 x 34cm), the new WMF Profi Plus Plancha Grill is perfect for preparing healthy and aromatic cuisine for all your family and guests. The device is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel and offers two grill zones that can be adjusted separately –allowing for different ingredients to be cooked at the same time. In addition to classic grilled items such as meat and fish, the plancha’s griddle is also a pro at preparing delicious desserts. Crunchy fruit marshmallow skewers, perhaps? Or how about some fresh and summery berry crumble or sweet banana in puff pastry? From starters to desserts, with the new WMF Profi Plus Plancha Grill, you can conjure up a complete BBQ dinner for family and friends – and all without spending too much time away from the table. The grill plate is incredibly easy to clean, too.

In line with the high safety standards of the WMF brand, the new WMF Profi Plus Plancha Grill is GS-certified. Whether for indoor or outdoor use, the GS safety seal (“Geprüfte Sicherheit”) confirms that the device meets the requirements of the German Product Safety Act.
