The ideal cast iron half grill for perfectly searing and marking meats

The cast iron cooking half grill for kamado QUATRO L is the must-have kamado cooking accessory for all discerning grilling enthusiasts. Designed to provide powerful and even searing, it allows for clear and professional cooking marks on meats, poultry, and vegetables. Thanks to the unique properties of cast iron, heat is evenly distributed across the entire cooking surface, ensuring consistent results with every use.

This half-moon grill fits perfectly into the kamado QUATRO L and finds its place within the Split & Mix L. It allows for the configuration of different cooking zones to simultaneously prepare several foods using various methods. This modularity offers great freedom to barbecue enthusiasts who wish to fully exploit the capabilities of their kamado.

High temperature cooking for incomparable flavours

Cast iron is particularly valued in the barbecue world for its exceptional ability to accumulate and return heat. Once heated, the grill retains its thermal energy for a long time and allows for an intense sear when in contact with food.

This high thermal inertia promotes the natural caramelisation of meats thanks to the Maillard reaction. The surfaces of the meats develop a tasty crust while the cooking juices remain trapped inside. The result: perfectly seared pieces of meat, a crispy exterior, and a tender and juicy interior.

For lovers of ribeye, entrecôte, duck breast, or burgers, the cast iron half-grill is one of the best kamado cooking accessories for achieving a finish worthy of the finest tables.

Perfect modularity with the Split & Mix L system

The cast iron cooking half-grill has been specially designed to work with the Split & Mix L system of the QUATRO kamado. It can be used alone or combined with other elements to create a configuration perfectly suited to each recipe.

It can notably be combined with a stainless steel half-grill to alternate between gentle cooking and high temperature searing, with a second cast iron half-grill to maximise the cooking surface, or even with a cast iron half-plancha to combine grilling and plancha cooking in the same kamado.

This flexibility allows for the simultaneous preparation of several foods while benefiting from perfect control of temperatures and different cooking techniques.

A kamado cooking accessory designed to last

Why choose a cast iron grate for your kamado?

Choosing a cast iron grate prioritises cooking quality. Unlike a standard grate, cast iron stores more heat and releases it instantly upon contact with food. This characteristic allows for a more intense sear, enhanced flavours, and better retention of cooking juices.

For meat lovers, this half-grate is the ideal accessory to reveal the full potential of the QUATRO kamado. It improves ease of use, the quality of grilling, and the versatility of your cooking setup.

A cast iron grate stores and transfers more heat than stainless steel, delivering superior searing performance and deeper grill marks. It is especially recommended for steaks, burgers and other cuts of meat.

Brush the grate while it is still warm to remove food residue. Applying a light coat of cooking oil after cleaning helps protect the surface and maintain its performance.

What are the advantages of cast iron for cooking on a kamado barbecue? It allows for searing at very high temperatures: it caramelizes the meat while retaining the cooking juices to keep it tender and juicy. You'll achieve perfect searing of your cuts of meat while sealing in the flavor. The outside is crispy, the inside juicy! Durable and robust material with excellent heat retention. Easy to clean.

A cast iron half-moon grill grate is an excellent tool for achieving perfect grill marks, enhancing the appearance, texture, and flavor of your meats. Grill Marks: The grooves in the griddle create the famous grill marks on meat, which not only add an appetizing visual appeal but also allow for more even cooking. The marks form where the intense heat of the griddle makes contact with the meat, resulting in distinct, defined lines. Caramelization and Flavor: These marks are also an excellent way to concentrate heat in specific areas, promoting the caramelization of the meat's natural juices. This intensifies flavors and creates a delicious crust while keeping the inside of the meat juicy. Healthier Cooking: The grooved design allows excess fat to drain away, reducing the amount of fat that remains in contact with the meat. This can result in lighter, less fatty meat, and healthier cooking.

High temperature: For beautiful grill marks, it's essential that the grill is very hot before placing the meat on it. This allows for a quick crust formation and crisp, clean sear marks. Don't move the meat immediately: Once the meat is on the grill, avoid moving it for a few minutes. This allows the grill marks to form and the crust to solidify. Use a little oil: If the meat isn't very fatty, it can be helpful to lightly brush the cooking surface with oil to prevent sticking and make it easier to create crisp grill marks.

The cast iron half-grill allows you to cook different foods at varying temperatures using multi-level cooking configurations in the Split & Mix Large (Ref. SMQL). It's the perfect accessory for alternating between indirect cooking and other methods.

Absolutely! The half-grill is compatible with the stainless steel half-moon accessories supplied as standard in the QUATRO Large kamado (Ref. SMQL), which allows you to gain cooking flexibility and optimize the space in your kamado.
