Teppanyaki or just plain griddle for induction?
Comments (1)There is another very expensive Teppanyaki pan from Demeyere that is induction compatible. It is the seven layer construction but I don't know if it has the 2 mm copper core like the other flat bottomed Demeyere products. Unfortunately, it is mainly sold in Europe and so you have to buy it and ship it overseas. http://www.demeyere.be/default.asp?CID=8692&SLID=1...See MoreBosch induction slide in + teppanyaki
Comments (1)Well, interestingly enough, BSH sells an identical plancha/teppanyaki under its Thermador brand "for use with electric and induction cooktops." (A link is here.) Undoubtedly made for BSH by Demeyere. Of course, the Demeyere branded one is currently much less expensive on the website of corporate parent ZwillingUSA. So, did the BSH engineers think about the plancha when laying out the "flex zone" on their new Bosch Benchmark slide-in range? Hard to say. I just looked for a convenient way to contact Bosch to ask about this but I couldn't find anybody to call and I don't do twitter or facebook. Maybe somebody who does can check with Bosch. Guestimating from the photo of the Benchmark's stovetop (on the product page of your link), it looks to me like: (a) one could fit the plancha over the stovetop's big 11" burner by turning it sideways and rely on the plancha's excellent heat conductivity for even heating. However, that would block access to the stovetop's other burners. (b) if the plancha were pushed as far back as possible on the left side "FlexZone" area, the plancha's raised front lip on the edge might just barely clear the left side of the new stove's extended touchpad. FWIW, the actual base of the plancha is 19" long, and would not be resting on the touchpad. However, it seems to me that the plancha's one-inch wide raised lip would extend out so close to the touchpad that one would have to be very careful to avoid bumping and burning fingers when using that end of the now wider touchpad....See MoreBosch Induction Range + Teppanyaki Question
Comments (6)Like MizLizzie, mine straddles two hobs. When I used it on my 6" and 8" hobs, there was hardly any difference in the browning of my grilled cheese across the plancha. Here's what I said when I first got it. "The griddle takes some time to heat across the surface. I used medium (6 on my Bosch induction) for about 10 minutes, while doing other things, then turned it to low (4). The top slices were started on the hotter side (at the bottom of the pic and larger of the two hobs) and moved up as I buttered the others. Surprisingly, the middle of the griddle gets the hot the quickest even though the larger hob isn't right there, but on the lower end. This bread is very uneven by nature so, the browning isn't even because of that. I also haphazardly buttered them. It did a nice job, though. It takes a long time for it to cool, so it would be wonderful to keep food warm through a dinner. Be careful! The edges get very hot and I brushed a knuckle against it by accident. Ouch." Pic of the bread, NOT my grilled cheese bread....See MoreSaw Demeyere Teppanyaki Plancha Griddles on sale
Comments (5)I've used it for French toast. I'd like to try it one day for salmon. I heated it for 10 minutes on medium (no oil or anything, just heating). That was #6 on a Bosch Induction, then turned down to #4. I have the GE Cafe Induction, and did something similar (don't recall exactly). I know it smelled like burning metal as it heated, which was a little worrisome, and I might have turned it down some before the 10 minutes were up. I recall there was even a little noise coming from the metal. which also made me uneasy. It was HOT, like a restaurant's griddle/grill. Once you put the food on it, pay attention to it, it cooks fast. I seem to recall that some of the heat may have been lost as you turned the heat down (after initial heating). I made three or four batches of french toast, and recall the later ones didn't brown or cook as nicely as the first one, which was a little disappointing. I got the idea from Alex9179 on 12/14/16 in Please Suggest a Good Griddle for Induction Cook Top . I printed the article and keep it with my griddle, otherwise I'd have to search how to heat it before using it! I highlighted Alex9179's comments so I could see it right away. Yes, I think you could definitely cook burgers and eggs, it would be hotter than a fry pan, in my opinion, especially after you've heated it for so long. Maybe even good for searing. You'd have to let it cool some, and while it was harder to clean than my other Demeyere pots/pans, it wasn't awful. Perhaps you could put a little water on top of it before it has cooled all the way, loosening what has burned on. (I don't recall if I did this at the time.) I would not put cold water on it while it is steaming, I would not want to take a chance in cracking it. It's way too hot to move until it cools, so you will lose the use of those two burners for a time. Let us know how you used it and what you found as you did, so we can too! Enjoy!...See Moreplllog
