Reversible Cast Iron Plancha-Grill Switch Grid™ 1/2 for Chicago Next 4

The Enders 7894 reversible cast iron plate is part of the SWITCH GRID™ accessory system and is designed specifically for the Chicago Next 4. Enders officially lists it as a 1/2-format reversible cast iron plate measuring 30.5 × 41.5 × 1.3 cm.

🔥 MORE COOKING VERSATILITY

The plate replaces part of the standard cooking grate and creates a solid cooking surface.

It is particularly useful for:

• burgers
• meat
• fish
• seafood
• vegetables
• bacon
• eggs
• small ingredients

The 1/2 format allows the other half of the Chicago Next 4 cooking area to remain fitted with a conventional grate.

🧱 CAST IRON FOR STABLE HEAT

Cast iron is valued for its ability to absorb and retain heat.

Practical benefits include:

• good heat retention
• strong heat transfer
• effective browning and searing
• stable cooking surface
• suitability for high-temperature cooking

🔄 REVERSIBLE DESIGN

Model 7894 is officially classified by Enders as a reversible cast iron plate, allowing both working sides to be used depending on the food and cooking method.

This makes it more versatile than a single-sided cooking surface.

👨‍🍳 CASAGRILL RECOMMENDS

Preheat the plate gradually together with the grill.

For burgers and meat, allow the cast iron to reach a sufficiently high temperature before adding food.

For fish, eggs and vegetables, use more moderate heat.

After use, allow the plate to cool sufficiently before cleaning and avoid thermal shock.
