Cookinglife Half Moon Grill Plate / Cast Iron Plancha - Double-sided - Suitable for 46 cm Kamados
2-in-1: grill grate & plancha
Fits the most common kamado BBQ size (46 cm / 21 inch)
With drainage hole for grease
Picture this: your kamado is roaring at the perfect temperature, friends are gathering around, and you're effortlessly pressing smashburgers onto a sizzling hot surface on one half of your grill - while the other half gives a thick-cut ribeye those jaw-dropping, caramelized grill marks that make everyone lean in for a closer look. That's not a fantasy. That's a regular Tuesday night once you get your hands on the Grill Fanatics Half Moon Griddle / Plancha. One cast iron powerhouse, two cooking surfaces, and a world of culinary possibilities you didn't know your kamado was hiding.
Two Sides, Twice the Flavor
Let's be honest - if you own a kamado, you take outdoor cooking seriously. So your gear should match that ambition. The Grill Fanatics Half Moon Griddle is a reversible cast iron plate that fits perfectly alongside your regular grate inside any 46 cm (18-inch) kamado. Flip it one way, you've got a ribbed grill surface. Flip it the other, you've got a smooth plancha. It's like having two premium accessories for the footprint of one - and trust us, this will become the piece of kit you reach for every single session.
- Ribbed side for picture-perfect grill marks - Those gorgeous, caramelized lines on your steak, chicken thighs, or halloumi? That's this side doing its thing. The raised ridges lift your food above the surface, letting fat drip away so you get real grilled flavor - not steamed, not boiled, properly grilled.
- Smooth plancha side for everything else - Smashburgers, shrimp, diced vegetables, breakfast eggs on the BBQ - the flat surface delivers maximum contact for maximum Maillard reaction. Translation: more crust, more flavor, more of those "how did you make this?" moments.
- Half moon design for ultimate flexibility - Because it covers exactly half your grill surface, the other half stays free for indirect cooking, smoking, or simply more space. Multitasking on your kamado has never been this effortless.
- Solid cast iron for rock-steady heat - No hot spots, no cold patches. Cast iron absorbs massive amounts of heat and distributes it evenly across the entire surface. Drop a cold burger on there and the temperature barely flinches. That's the sear you've been chasing.
- Integrated drip hole - Excess fat and moisture drain away through a cleverly placed opening. No puddles, no unwanted steaming - just pure, direct heat doing exactly what it should.
Cast Iron: The Only Material That Takes Your Kamado Seriously
There's a reason serious grill enthusiasts swear by cast iron, and it's not just tradition. Cast iron absorbs enormous amounts of heat and releases it slowly, consistently. When you lay a cold piece of protein on this Grill Fanatics griddle, the surface temperature barely drops. You get that immediate, fierce sizzle - the kind that locks in juices and builds a crust that's almost unreasonably delicious.
At over 4 kilograms of solid material, you can feel the quality the moment you pick it up. This isn't some flimsy accessory that warps after three uses. This griddle is built to last for years - session after session, season after season. The premium finish provides extra resistance against rust, even with intensive outdoor use. And here's the beautiful thing about cast iron: the more you use it and season it properly, the better its natural non-stick properties become. It literally improves with age. How many things in life can you say that about?
From Smashburgers to Seafood: Your Outdoor Kitchen Just Got an Upgrade
The versatility of this griddle is, frankly, a little addictive. Once you start experimenting, you'll keep discovering new dishes you never thought your kamado could handle.
On the smooth plancha side, make the best smashburgers you've ever tasted. Press a ball of seasoned ground beef flat onto the screaming-hot surface, let it sizzle for two minutes, and you'll have a thin, crispy patty with an incredible depth of umami flavor. But don't stop there - think garlic-and-chili shrimp, paper-thin calamari rings, a classic Japanese okonomiyaki, or even tortillas and flatbreads. Planning a BBQ breakfast? The plancha side handles eggs, bacon, and pancakes like a professional flat-top grill.
On the ribbed grill side, you'll score restaurant-quality grill marks on your entrecote, lamb chops, or charred bell peppers. The ridges ensure your meat isn't sitting in its own juices - it's truly grilling, developing that smoky, caramelized exterior that makes your guests go quiet for a moment (the highest compliment a cook can receive).
And the best part? Because the griddle only takes up half your cooking grate, you can simultaneously use the other half for indirect cooking, smoking vegetables, or fitting an extra piece of meat. Your kamado becomes a genuine outdoor kitchen - and every meal becomes a moment to share and savor together.
💡 Tip: Always place your cast iron griddle on the kamado before you start building up temperature. Cast iron doesn't appreciate sudden thermal shocks - heating it gradually alongside your kamado prevents cracking and ensures perfectly even heat distribution across the entire surface. After your cook? Let the plate cool down, scrub it clean with hot water and a stiff brush (skip the soap!), dry it thoroughly, and rub a thin layer of vegetable oil over both surfaces. This builds an incredible natural non-stick patina over time and keeps rust completely at bay. Your future self will thank you.
