Le Marquier Natural Plancha Drainage Hole Cork Stopper

The Le Marquier plancha cork stopper, made of natural cork, plugs the griddle's drainage hole during cooking, retaining juices, liquids, and seasonings on the surface, allowing for more flavorful and moist cooking. Inserted into the drainage hole before starting to cook, it prevents liquids released from meat, fish, and vegetables from escaping, concentrating flavors on the griddle. Removed at the end of cooking, it allows fats to drain normally into the collection tray. Compatible with the entire Le Marquier range equipped with a drainage hole and with any plancha with a compatible diameter hole.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the plancha cork stopper for?
It plugs the griddle's drainage hole during cooking to retain juices, liquids, and seasonings on the surface. Remove it at the end of cooking to allow fats to drain into the collection tray.

What material is it made of and how long does it last?
Natural cork: resistant to griddle heat, impermeable to fats and cooking liquids. Durability depends on frequency of use; replace when it deforms or no longer properly seals the hole.

How is the stopper installed in the drainage hole?
Insert the cork stopper into the griddle's drainage hole before starting to cook. No tools required. Verify that the stopper's diameter is compatible with your plancha model's hole.

Does it withstand high plancha temperatures?
Yes: natural cork resists the griddle's operating temperatures without burning or releasing substances. Do not expose to direct flame; only place in the drainage hole, not on the cooking surface.

How do you clean the cork stopper?
Rinse under hot running water after each use, gently squeeze, and let dry in a well-ventilated place. Do not immerse in water for long periods. Do not use aggressive detergents that could alter the natural cork.

Is it compatible with all Le Marquier models?
It is designed for Le Marquier models equipped with a drainage hole. Verify the hole diameter of your model before purchase to ensure compatibility and a tight seal.

When should it be replaced?
When the cork deforms, shrinks, or no longer ensures a tight seal of the drainage hole. With regular use, the average lifespan is a few weeks to months, depending on the frequency of use.
