Cast iron pans

A heavy and durable material, resistant to high temperatures. The pan lasts for generations. These pans don't warp and are oven-safe. Heating up and cooling down takes a bit longer, but once hot it stays hot for a long time. Don't wash the pan in the dishwasher.

Carbon steel pans

Lighter than cast iron and they heat up faster. These pans are seasoned to create a non-stick layer. Warm the pan up after washing to dry it completely. This prevents rust.

Stainless steel pans

Stainless steel is very light and doesn't rust. These pans are also dishwasher-safe. They can withstand high temperatures but cool down quickly.

Copper pans

These pans don't just look stylish, they're also very durable. Good copper unfortunately doesn't come cheap, but the quality is fantastic. Working on professional dishes like sauces, jam or risotto where you need perfect temperature control? Then the copper pan is the perfect choice.

Aluminium pans

At a lower price you give up some quality, but they're very pleasant to use. They're light pans that are easy to clean. They have excellent heat conduction and are therefore ready to use quickly.

What you need to know about Grill plates

A griddle plate is a flat or ribbed plate that you use on your stove, BBQ, or as a standalone electric appliance to grill food. The ribbed version creates the typical grill marks and allows fat to drain, while a smooth platefunctions more like a baking sheet. Griddle plates come in various materials: cast iron, steel, aluminum, and ceramic, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Always choose a plate suitable for your heat source (gas, inductionor electric).

Buying a griddle plate - what to look for?

When purchasing, pay attention to four things: the material (cast iron retains heat best), suitability for your heat source, size (does it fit on your stove or BBQ grate?), and ease of cleaning. A non-stick coating or enamelled coating makes maintenance easier, but uncoated cast iron gives a better grilled flavour.

Which griddle plate will you choose?

Cast iron griddle plate

Cast iron is the most popular material for a reason: it retains heat extremely well and distributes it evenly across the entire surface. This ensures perfect grill marks and a beautiful browning. A cast iron plate, with proper care, will last a lifetime and only gets better with age.

Enamelled cast iron griddle plate

The same as cast iron, but with an enamelled coating on the bottom or surface. The advantage: easier to clean and less susceptible to rust. Ideal if you want the ease of use of cast iron without the intensive maintenance.

Stainless steel griddle plate

Stainless steel is a durable and hygienic material that does not rust and requires little maintenance. A stainless steel griddle plateis sturdy, resistant to high temperatures, and easy to clean. Ideal if you are looking for a low-maintenance plate that will last a long time.

Ceramic non-stick griddle plate

A griddle plate with a ceramic coating has a smooth, non-porous surface to which virtually nothing sticks. This means you need little to no oil, allowing for healthier grilling. Ceramic is freer of chemicals than traditional coatings and highly resistant to high temperatures. Always use wooden or silicone utensils to protect the coating.

What can you cook on a griddle pan?

You can prepare almost anything on a griddle pan: steaks, chicken fillets, fish, prawns, vegetables, halloumi, sandwiches, and even fruit. Use the ridged side for meat and vegetables you want to give grill marks. The smooth side is ideal for more delicate foods such as fish, eggs, or pancakes. In short: anything you prepare on a BBQ can also be done on a griddle pan.

What are the best griddle pans?

The best choice depends on your situation: for the hob or the BBQ, a cast iron griddle pan is best due to its superior heat distribution and longevity. For induction, choose an enameled cast iron plate with induction certification. For ease of maintenance, stainless steelor a ceramic non-stick coating is ideal. For cosy evenings with several people, an electric XL griddle pan offers the most flexibility.

Frequently asked questions

  • Which grill plate is the best to buy in 2026?

    The best griddle depends on your cooking setup. For induction, a cast iron griddle with a flat bottom is ideal, as cast iron excellent distributes and retains heat. For gasor electric, both cast iron and enameled steel griddles are suitable. At Braadbaas, you'll find griddles for every situation, from compact models for daily use to XL sizes for larger groups.

  • What is the difference between a cast iron and an electric griddle?

    A cast iron griddle is a kitchen accessory that you place on a stove suitable for gas, induction, or electric. An electric griddle is a standalone appliance with a built-in heating element. Cast iron griddles provide the best grilled flavor and authentic grill marks. Electric griddles are easier to use and ideal if you don't have a large stove or want to grill outdoors.

  • Can I use a grill pan on an induction hob?

    Yes, but not every griddle is suitable for induction. You need a plate with a magnetic, flat bottom. Cast iron griddles are in most cases induction-compatible. Always check if the plate bears the induction symbol. At Braadbaas, each product clearly states which heat sources the griddle is suitable for.

  • What is the difference between a ribbed griddle plate and a smooth griddle plate?

    A ribbed grill plate creates the characteristic grill marks on meat and vegetables. Fat and moisture drain into the grooves, resulting in a crispier outcome. A flat grill platebehaves more like a griddle: ideal for fish, delicate meats, eggs, and pancakes. Some models are double-sided and combine both functions in one plate.

  • How do I clean a griddle?

    Always allow the griddle to cool completely after use. Remove burnt-on residue with a grill brush or wooden spatula. Rinse cast iron grates with warm water without soap; soap will damage the seasoned layer (seasoning). Pat the grate dry and rub with a thin layer of neutral oil for protection. Electric griddles can usually be wiped down with a damp cloth after the removable plates have been removed.

  • Which griddle is best for the barbecue?

    Cast iron grates are the most popular for BBQs. They distribute heat evenly, last for decades, and give that authentic char to meat and vegetables. Choose a plate that fits your BBQ's grate. At Braadbaas, you'll find BBQ gratesin various sizes, with ribbed or smooth patterns, suitable for charcoal and gas.

  • How much does a good griddle cost?

    A solid cast iron griddle will cost between €20 and €80 in 2026. Premium brands like Le Creuset or Staub will cost €80 to €200 or more. Electric griddles range from €30 to €150, depending on size and power. At Braadbaas, you'll find quality griddles in every price segment, from solid entry-level models to professional quality.
