Bistro Plancha

Description

The Jade Range Bistro Plancha is a heavy-duty commercial gas plancha built into the Bistro shallow-depth range line. Designed for restaurants, hotels, institutions, and other professional foodservice kitchens, it provides a smooth steel cooking surface for burgers, steaks, seafood, poultry, vegetables, breakfast items, sandwiches, and other foods prepared by direct-contact cooking. The standard plancha features a polished 5/8-inch-thick steel plate that reaches approximately 650°F at the center, with cooler cooking zones toward the perimeter. This graduated heat pattern allows operators to sear product in the center and move food toward the outer areas for slower cooking, finishing, or holding. The Bistro shallow-depth design supports high-performance cooking where available installation depth is limited. Two burner configurations are available. The French configuration provides a centered heat pattern, while the Spanish configuration distributes heat more evenly across the cooking surface. A stainless steel grease trough collects cooking residue and simplifies cleaning. Custom plancha plates from 1 to 2 inches thick are available for applications requiring different heat retention and recovery characteristics.
