The Cast Iron Crescent Griddle is a high quality and versatile accessory, ideal for taking the outdoor cooking experience to another level. Designed specifically for The Bastard Grande ceramic grill, this semi-circular griddle offers superior performance thanks to its robust material and functional design.
Maximum Performance
Cast iron is synonymous with quality and performance. This material allows extremely high temperatures to be reached and maintained, distributing the heat evenly over the entire surface. This not only ensures even cooking, but also seals food perfectly, retaining juices and flavours. Its robustness makes it resistant to years of intensive use, withstanding sudden changes in temperature without deforming. It is the perfect ally for roasting, frying, baking and more.
Versatility and Space Efficiency
The innovative semi-circular shape allows you to optimise the use of space in your The Bastard Grande grill. By occupying only half of the surface area, it gives you the possibility to combine cooking techniques and accessories. For example, while grilling vegetables on the griddle, you can brown a meat or smoke another food on the other half. This flexibility is ideal for preparing complete meals without the need for multiple tools, transforming your barbecue into a true outdoor cooking station.
Reversible Surface
The griddle has two cooking surfaces:
- Smooth side: Perfect for delicate preparations such as fried eggs, seafood, pancakes, or even flatbread. Provides a natural non-stick surface when properly seasoned.
- Ribbed side: Ideal for grilling meats and vegetables, allowing fat to drain away and providing iconic grill marks that enhance presentation and flavour.
Thanks to this duality, you can prepare both rustic recipes and gourmet dishes with results worthy of a professional chef.
Compatible with the Multi-Level Cooking System
The griddle is designed to integrate with The Bastard Grande’s multilevel cooking system, allowing you to control the cooking temperature according to the chosen height.
- Upper level: Ideal for gentle and delicate cooking, such as fish, vegetables or omelettes.
- Lower level: Perfect for searing meats at high temperatures to achieve that unique crispy browning.
If you don’t have the multi-level system, the griddle can be placed directly on the fire ring or on the support for the baffle stone. This versatility means you can easily adapt it to your equipment.
Perfect for all types of preparations
From a full breakfast to a gourmet dinner, this griddle is ideal for cooking a wide range of recipes:
- Breakfasts: Fried eggs, crispy bacon and fluffy pancakes.
- Meat: Perfectly marked steaks, juicy burgers or kebabs.
- Seafood: Sautéed shrimp, seared scallops or grilled octopus.
- Vegetables: Asparagus, courgettes and aubergines with a delicious smoky touch.
Thanks to its even heat distribution, every food will be cooked to perfection.
Direct Application on Grills of Other Sizes
Although designed specifically for The Bastard Grande grill, this griddle is easily adaptable to other grill models. On grills without a multi-level system, you can place it directly on the fire ring or on the baffle stone holder. If you have a larger grill, such as The Bastard XL, you can also use it by covering part of the cooking surface.
