Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

Sakura Street Kitchen, a bustling pop-up in Bristol, wanted to expand their menu beyond yakitori skewers without investing in a whole new cooking appliance. They added the Kasai Konro 50/50 Plancha to their existing Medium Long grill.

"It was exactly what we needed. We can now smash-grill burgers on the flat side while getting perfect grill marks on our chicken on the ridged side. Customers love the variety, and  our ticket times for mixed orders have dropped because we're not swapping grills."

Tom Wallace – Owner, Sakura Street Kitchen

The plancha allowed them to add six new popular items to their menu, increasing their average order value by 25% during peak festival season.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, wash the plancha with warm, soapy water and  dry it thoroughly.
  • We recommend seasoning the plate with a light coat of high-smoke-point oil and  heating it gently.
  • Always place the plancha on the Kasai grill when the grill is on a stable, level surface.
  • Ensure the plancha sits securely within the grill's frame before adding food.

Keeping It Going

  • The best time to clean a plancha is when it's still warm (but not searingly hot!).
  • Use a flat scraper to remove any food debris, pushing it into the grill's embers.
  • For a deeper clean, pour a little water or oil onto the warm surface and  wipe with a cloth held by tongs.
  • Avoid using harsh detergents or metal scourers, as they can damage the surface finish.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Konro Accessory

Not sure which accessory will level up your grilling game? Here are a few things to consider.

Check for a Perfect Fit

Accessories aren't one-size-fits-all. Always double-check that the plancha or grate is designed specifically for your grill's model and  size to ensure stability and  safety.

Match it to Your Menu

What do you cook most? A plancha plate is brilliant for searing, breakfasts and  delicate items. A wire mesh is better for traditional yakitori or larger cuts that benefit from direct flame.

Consider the Material

Stainless steel, like this Kasai Konro 50/50 plancha grill, heats up quickly and  is easy to clean. Cast iron offers incredible heat retention but requires more maintenance to prevent rust.

Heat Distribution is Key

A good quality, thick plate will distribute heat more evenly, preventing hot spots that can burn food. Look for a decent thickness, like the 3mm steel used here.

Think About Clean-Up

How much time do you want to spend cleaning? A smooth stainless steel plancha is far quicker and  easier to wipe down at the end of a busy service than a complex wire grate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this plancha need to be seasoned?

A: While stainless steel doesn't require seasoning like cast iron, a light coating of oil before the first use can help create a better non-stick surface.

Q: Will this fit any other brand of konro grill?

A: It is specifically designed for the Kasai Medium Long Konro Grill (SVT-16137) to ensure a safe and  stable fit. We cannot guarantee it will fit other models.

Q: How do I clean it after a busy service?

A: The easiest way is to scrape it down while still warm using a metal spatula or scraper. A little water on the warm plate will also help lift stubborn bits.

Q: Can I use metal utensils on the surface?

A: Yes, the 3mm stainless steel construction is very durable and  perfectly suitable for use with metal spatulas, tongs, and  scrapers.

Q: Does the heat distribute evenly across both sides?

A: Yes, the thick steel plate is excellent at absorbing and  distributing the heat from the charcoal below, providing consistent cooking temperatures across the entire surface.

Q: What kind of food is best for the flat side?

A: The flat side is perfect for anything that needs full surface contact: scallops, prawns, chopped vegetables, fried eggs, pancakes, or smash burgers.

Q: Is it heavy?

A: It weighs just over 3kg. This weight is a sign of its quality and  helps it to retain heat effectively, but always use heat-proof gloves when handling it hot.

Q: Is it made in the UK?

A: Absolutely. It is proudly designed and  manufactured in Britain to a very high standard.

What Customers Are Saying

"This plancha is built like a tank and  fits the grill like a glove. Has totally changed what we can offer from our small kitchen space."

David Chen – Pop-up Kitchen, London

"Brilliant piece of kit. We use the flat side for morning bacon and  eggs and  the ridged side for steaks in the evening. Really heavy-duty and  holds heat well."

Maria Evans – The Corner Bistro, York

The Kasai Difference: British Engineering Meets Japanese Tradition

When you invest in a Kasai accessory, you're getting more than just a slab of metal. You're buying into a philosophy of quality and  durability that pays dividends over years of hard service. This plancha is a prime example, expertly manufactured in Britain from robust 3mm stainless steel. This isn't just a feature; it's a promise of longevity. It won't warp under the intense, focused heat of Binch?tan charcoal, and  it resists corrosion, meaning less time on maintenance and  more time on cooking. This is a tool designed for the rigours of a commercial kitchen, where reliability is everything. By merging Japanese grilling principles with trusted British manufacturing, Kasai provides professionals with equipment that not only performs flawlessly but also provides exceptional long-term value, turning a simple grill into a consistent and  creative culinary workhorse.

The Best of Both Worlds: Why a Dual-Zone Plancha is So Clever

Ever wished you could have two different pans on the go at once, but only have space for one? That's the simple genius behind the 50/50 dual-zone design of this konro grill plancha plate. One half is completely flat, like a classic Spanish plancha or a teppanyaki grill. This surface is perfect for getting an all-over, even sear on delicate items like scallops, fish fillets, or chopped vegetables, as the entire surface of the food is in contact with the hot metal. The other half is ridged, which creates those desirable,?? char lines by concentrating heat where the ridges touch the food. This is ideal for steaks, burgers, and  halloumi, giving you that classic barbecue look and  flavour. It's not just about looks; it means you can cook a piece of salmon (flat side) and  asparagus spears (ridged side) at the same time, on the same heat source, without one overcooking the other. It’s pure efficiency.
