The Electric Countertop Plancha features a small footprint that measures 40 inches x 35 inches with a smooth steel cooking surface 35 inches x 24 inches. Supported by four legs, it is intended for installation on a suitable countertop. The surface of the Electric Countertop Plancha can be used as a direct contact cooking surface like a griddle for searing or sauteing, or heated up to 700° F so that it functions more like an open burner or French Top.
