Woodfire Iron – Ninja

The Woodfire Plancha is designed to offer you maximum versatility for your barbecue. Thanks to its two interchangeable plates, you can quickly switch between grill and griddle to suit your cooking needs. This innovative design allows users to tailor the cooking surface to the type of food they want to prepare, whether it’s grilling meats or delicately cooking vegetables and seafood. The ease of changeover also means less time wasted on adjustments and more time enjoying the cooking experience.

Large Scale Cooking

The large surface area of the Woodfire Plancha is ideal for preparing a wide variety of dishes. You can cook vegetable stir-fries, fajitas, pancakes, and much more with total convenience. The griddle allows you to cook multiple ingredients at once, which is perfect for large gatherings or family meals. This large-scale cooking capability reduces preparation time and allows you to serve multiple diners simultaneously, making social gatherings more enjoyable and efficient.

Uniform and Direct Heat

The Woodfire Plancha guarantees direct and even heat across its entire surface, eliminating the problems of hot or cold spots. This ensures that all food is cooked evenly, preventing some food from burning while others remain raw. This precise temperature control is crucial for consistent and professional results, especially when cooking foods that require precision cooking, such as meats and seafood.

High Temperature Sealing

With its high temperature searing capability, the Woodfire Griddle allows you to brown and sear foods perfectly, adding an authentic natural wood-fired flavour to your recipes. This searing is ideal for meats, as it helps to retain juices and enhance the texture and flavour of the food. The high temperature is also beneficial for perfect caramelisation of vegetables and other ingredients, intensifying their flavour and creating a superior culinary experience.

Ideal for Vegetables and Delicate Foods

The Woodfire Plancha is especially useful for cooking small or sliced vegetables such as onions, peppers, cherry tomatoes and mushrooms. It is also perfect for delicate foods such as prawns and asparagus, which require gentle and controlled cooking. In addition, this griddle allows vegetarian foods to be kept separate from meat, which is essential for those who follow specific diets or have dietary restrictions. This careful separation of food ensures that all diners can enjoy their meals without worry.

Exclusive Compatibility

Designed exclusively for the Ninja Woodfire OG700/OG750 series, the Woodfire griddle integrates perfectly with these models. Its compatibility ensures a perfect fit and optimum performance, providing a hassle-free cooking experience. This unique design also ensures that users get the maximum benefit from their Ninja Woodfire barbecues, expanding cooking possibilities and enhancing the versatility of the equipment.

1. Griddle Installation: Make sure the Ninja Woodfire BBQ is turned off and cool before installing the griddle. Remove the grill if installed and place the griddle in place, making sure it fits perfectly.
2. Preheating: Turn on the barbecue and select “Griddle” mode. Adjust the temperature according to the recipe you are preparing. Wait about 5-10 minutes for the griddle to reach the desired temperature, indicated by the barbecue display.
3. Cooking: Add a little oil or butter if the recipe requires it and spread it evenly on the non-stick surface. Place the food on the griddle and cook according to the specific times and temperatures for each ingredient, moving the food with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
4. Finish: Once the food is cooked, turn off the barbecue and remove the food from the griddle using silicone or wooden utensils to avoid damaging the ceramic coating.

Maintenance:

Proper maintenance is crucial to preserve the quality and functionality of your Ninja Woodfire Plancha. With some basic care, you can prolong the life of your plancha and keep it in top condition for all your culinary adventures. Here’s how to perform effective maintenance to ensure your plancha is always ready for the next use.

1. Regular Inspection: Before and after each use, inspect the griddle for any signs of wear or damage. Make sure there are no cracks in the ceramic coating and that the edges are in good condition.
2. Proper Storage: After cleaning and drying the iron, store it in a dry and safe place. Avoid placing heavy objects on it to prevent damage to the surface.
3. Avoid Using Metal Utensils: Always use wooden, silicone or heat-resistant plastic utensils to protect the non-stick surface of the griddle.

Cleaning:

Cleaning your Woodfire Plancha is essential not only to keep it in good condition, but also to ensure food safety with every preparation. Thanks to its non-stick ceramic coating, cleaning is a quick and easy process, allowing you to keep your plancha looking as good as new with a minimum of effort. Follow these recommendations for effective and hassle-free cleaning.

1. Cooling: Let the iron cool down completely before you start cleaning it. Never attempt to clean it while it is hot to avoid burning or damaging the ceramic coating.
2. Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft cloth, sponge or soft bristle brush with warm water and a little mild detergent. Avoid abrasive products or steel sponges that may scratch the surface.
3. Residue Removal: For stubborn food residue, soak the griddle in warm water and detergent for a few minutes before cleaning. Use a plastic spatula if necessary to gently scrape off residue.
4. Dry thoroughly: After washing the iron, dry it completely with a soft cloth or allow it to air dry before storing. This prevents moisture build-up and prolongs the life of the non-stick coating.

Following these recommendations will ensure that your Ninja Plancha Woodfire stays in excellent condition and performs optimally for a long time, allowing you to enjoy a hassle-free cooking experience with delicious results with every use.
