How to choose the right Le Marquier plancha
Gas or electric?
If you have a gas connection or a cylinder, gas plancha is the most versatile solution for continuous outdoor use. The Française, Original, Pure, Exclusive and Pakita lines cover the most common needs. If you cook mainly on a shared terrace or in spaces where gas cannot be used, the Original 260 Duo Electric (€740) is the most practical choice.
With or without trolley?
The Française 250 Duo already includes the trolley. For other plancha without integrated trolley, you can add the Carrello Desserte Allure (€440) or the Desserte Ingénieuse (€520) or the Taupe work surface cabinets for a fixed station.
How many people?
The Française 250 and the Original 260 (50-60 cm plate) are suitable for 4-6 people. The Pure 375 (75 cm) and the Exclusive 260 are for those who use the plancha frequently. The Pakita 4105 (105 cm, 10 kW) is the choice for large groups or semi-professional use.
Accessories: what can't be missed?
The spatula is the first purchase to pair with it: choose the blade according to the size of food (Regular for general use, Wide 14 cm for burgers and whole fish, Large with Edges to prevent slipping). The cloche is useful for cooking that requires uniform heat. The steam kit adds a cooking technique. The cover or lid extend the plancha's lifespan by protecting it from the elements.
FAQ - Frequently asked questions about Le Marquier
What is the difference between thermal plancha and standard plancha?
The thermal plancha has a double-layer plate with an internal air chamber that distributes heat more evenly across the entire surface, reducing the cold spots typical of single-layer plates. In the Le Marquier range, the Pakita 4105 uses this technology.
Are Le Marquier plancha suitable for permanent outdoor use?
Enamelled cast iron plates and stainless steel structures resist exposure to the elements. To protect the cooking surface when not in use, Le Marquier offers the 60 cm Cover (€67), the Pure 75 Lid (€190) and the Original 60 Lid (€110).
Can Le Marquier accessories be purchased separately?
Yes: spatulas, cloches, steam kit, degreaser, cleaning kit, cork plug, repose-aliments and covers are all available for separate purchase on L'Arcolaio, without needing to buy complete kits.
How do you clean the plancha plate?
At the end of cooking, with the plate still hot, use the stainless steel spatula to scrape off residue. For stubborn buildup, the Super Degreaser spray 750 ml (€20) is compatible with enamelled plates, stainless steel and cast iron. The Cleaning Kit spatula + stainless steel sponge (€28) completes the kit.
