An electric plancha lets you cook meat, fish, vegetables and crêpes directly in the kitchen, without having to set up a barbecue outside. However, the differences between models go far beyond the wattage shown on the box. The usable cooking surface, coating, thermostat and ease of cleaning often have a much greater impact on everyday use.
An electric plancha 2800 W will generally heat up quickly, but high power does not guarantee a large cooking surface. Conversely, some XXL models offer a very generous plate with more moderate power. These two features should therefore be compared together.
For two to four people, a surface of around 47 × 27 cm may be sufficient. For a family or a meal with several guests, a large electric plancha measuring 50 cm wide or more means you can cook larger quantities at once.
A coating described as non-stick does not mean you can ignore the appliance’s design. A fixed plate, a tray that is difficult to remove or a thermostat exposed to water can quickly turn cleaning into a chore.
It is better to choose a non-stick plancha whose plate and grease collection tray can be removed easily. However, bear in mind that not every part is necessarily dishwasher-safe. Check the manufacturer’s instructions before putting any components in the dishwasher.
A tabletop plancha can quickly take up space on your worktop, particularly when it is close to a metre long. Make sure you have a stable, heat-resistant surface, well away from curtains, tea towels and water sources.
The models featured here are designed for indoor use. The plate becomes extremely hot during cooking, so keep children and pets at a safe distance. Unplug the appliance and wait until it has cooled completely before cleaning it.
An electric plancha 2200 W is a good compromise for everyday meals. An electric plancha 2800 W is better suited to those looking for rapid heating across a generous cooking surface. In all cases, the power rating must be compatible with a properly earthed wall socket. Avoid plugging another high-energy appliance into the same socket.
The stated dimensions refer to the cooking area and do not always reflect the appliance’s total footprint. A 50 × 25 cm plate is suitable for typical family meals. A 100 × 23 cm surface lets you serve more people at the same time, but it requires considerable storage space.
An adjustable thermostat lets you set the temperature for delicate vegetables, fish or seared meat. Stainless-steel plates, aluminium plates with a non-stick coating and ceramic-coated plates each offer a different cooking and cleaning experience.
A removable grease collection tray helps prevent fat from running onto the worktop. When using a non-stick plate, choose wooden, silicone or heat-resistant utensils to avoid scratches.
Why this choice suits this type of user: its square 47 × 37 cm format provides a versatile surface for beginners, without jumping straight to an XXL appliance.
The surface area is clearly stated and the removable thermostat makes cleaning easier. The collection tray also helps prevent grease from running onto the worktop.
2000 W power, aluminium plate with a non-stick coating and removable grease tray.
Why this choice suits this type of user: its removable 43 × 35 cm stainless-steel plate and adjustable temperature of up to 300 °C are ideal for varied meals and larger gatherings.
The high power is paired with a clearly stated cooking surface, an adjustable thermostat, and a plate and tray that are dishwasher-safe.
2800 W, removable stainless-steel plate and adjustable temperature of up to 300 °C.
Why this choice suits this type of user: its 100 × 23 cm surface is designed to serve several people at the same time during sociable meals.
Its generous length lets you cook large quantities, while the five thermostat settings, non-slip feet and removable tray make it easier to use.
XXL 100 × 23 cm surface, five-position removable thermostat and insulated handles.
Why this choice suits this type of user: its 49 × 27 cm plate combines a smooth surface with a ridged surface, giving you more ways to prepare food directly at the table.
The two textures are clearly defined, and the removable cord makes it easy to move from the kitchen to the table, without overlooking the necessary heat precautions.
2200 W, adjustable thermostat, smooth and ridged plate, collection tray and insulated handles.
A plancha is even more enjoyable to use with the right accessories. A bamboo chopping board with a juice groove can collect juices when preparing meat or fruit. The VVM models, measuring 406 × 292 mm, also feature integrated handles. Bamboo should be hand-washed, dried immediately and oiled occasionally, in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
For serving, the 58 cm Nerina mango wood serving board is suitable for cheeses, bread and cold or room-temperature appetisers. It must not be immersed in water or placed in the dishwasher, and it must not be used as a stand for a hot saucepan. You can also browse the serving board category to compare other sizes.
We have brought together a complete, real-time selection of products that meet these exacting criteria, while complying with European safety regulations.
For two to six people, a power rating of between 2000 and 2200 W is generally suitable for a medium-sized surface. 2800 W may be worthwhile if you want rapid heating and plan to use a wider plate. Always check that your electrical installation can handle the appliance.
Yes, provided the manufacturer permits it. Place it on a flat, heat-resistant surface, ventilate the room and never leave the appliance unattended while it is switched on. The grease tray must be positioned correctly to prevent spills.
Wait until the appliance has cooled completely, unplug it, then clean the plate with a soft sponge and a non-abrasive product. Do not use steel wool or metal utensils. The thermostat and electrical base must never be immersed in water.
