Reversible Cast Iron Plancha-Grill for Napoleon LEX, Prestige and Prestige PRO

The Napoleon 56040 Reversible Cast Iron Griddle is a multifunctional accessory designed for the LEX, Prestige and Prestige PRO series, as well as selected compatible Built-In grills. Its official dimensions are 45.3 × 33 cm, and the griddle features one smooth side and one side with a wavy profile.

🔥 TWO SIDES FOR TWO COOKING STYLES

The reversible design lets you choose the surface that best matches the food:

• smooth side for full contact with hot cast iron;
• wavy-profile side for a more traditional grilled effect.

Napoleon specifically lists smaller foods, fried eggs, burger patties and seafood among suitable uses.

🍳 SMOOTH SIDE

The flat surface is practical for:

• fried eggs
• bacon
• burgers
• caramelized onions
• seafood
• vegetables
• smaller ingredients

It can turn the grill into a useful breakfast station and provides a solid cooking surface for foods that are difficult to prepare directly on an open grate.

🥩 WAVY-PROFILE SIDE

The raised side is suitable for:

• meat
• burgers
• vegetables
• hot sandwiches
• Panini

Napoleon specifically recommends the reverse side for Panini-style sandwiches.

🧱 DURABLE CAST IRON

Napoleon specifies durable cast iron for model 56040. Regional official pages also describe the black cast iron as having a porcelain coating for practical repeated use.

Cast iron provides:

• good heat retention;
• stable temperature distribution;
• effective food-to-surface contact;
• strong browning;
• a robust cooking surface.

💧 GREASE DRAINAGE HOLES

Convenient grease drainage holes allow excess fat to drain away from food. Napoleon particularly highlights this feature for crisp bacon and succulent sausages.
