Product Overview
Grill Steakhouse Restaurant Quality food at home with an Arteflame Insert.
Unlock the potential of your Egg and grill steakhouse quality meals at home with the addition of an Arteflame insert. Once you swap your old grate out for the Arteflame plancha/griddle insert you are on your way to grilling your food the same way they do at top steakhouse restaurants. Using your Egg, you can get the center grill grate over 1,000F for the perfect steakhouse sear.
The plancha gives the perfect sear while not overcooking the inside of your steak. While the steak is sizzling in its own juices, it naturally picks up the great smokey flavor from the live fire. The juices from traditional grill grates drip down into the fire along with the flavor. Live wood fire seasons the meat naturally, with a taste you cannot achieve any other way. Most importantly, the plancha griddle gets super hot, which is the key to sealing in great taste and flavor. Nothing will ever compare to this formula. That is why the top restaurant steakhouse steaks taste so great.
These three key factors are crucial towards getting you the steakhouse quality food you can now grill in your own backyard. The cooktop is perfect for grilling vegetables, and poultry or even a completer breakfast with bacon and eggs!
The Arteflame Big Green Egg inserts include three 3" risers in 18" and 24” sizes. These risers clip onto the outer edge of the insert and raise it so that the plancha sits just below the felt gasket of your egg. This makes it very convenient to grill without having to reach into the grill. The Arteflame insert for the Kamado versions has locating holes so they can be used on top of the flexible cooking rack.
CARBON STEEL VS CAST IRON
Carbon Steel and Cast Iron are very similar. This is why both are very good for cooking and grilling. The main difference is that Carbon Steel contains about 1% Carbon while Cast Iron contains 2% - 3% Carbon. This difference might not sound like much but the carbon effects the grain structure of the metal.
When Cast Iron is heated unevenly, the heat differential causes stress in the metal as the thermal expansion is uneven. When this stress encounters a pocket of carbon, Cast Iron cracks. This is also why Cast Iron often breaks when it is dropped. The area of high carbon is extremely brittle and can’t stand the shock.
In a grill, the heat is never uniform. This makes cast Iron an especially poor choice for grill inserts. For this reason, all Arteflame cooktops, inserts, griddles and Burger Pucks are made of only Carbon Steel.

About the Brand
Arteflame is the leading American manufacturer of Flat Top / Griddle / Plancha style Grills. Built exceptionally solid, they are designed to last a lifetime with little to no maintenance.
When you buy an Arteflame grill, fire pit, or griddle grill combination insert (grill grate replacement plancha), you are buying 100% made in America. Arteflame is known for making solid steel grill griddle combination grills that allow you to grill steakhouse quality food at home. Steakhouse quality steaks can now be grilled in your own backyard. Grill your steak to temperature on the plancha, then sear it to perfection on the grill grate over the live fire. Using the rotisserie or the pizza oven, there are many ways to grill on an Arteflame.
Arteflame cooktops are made of extra thick carbon steel while the grill bodies are made entirely of Corten steel. Corten steel is also called “weathering steel” and is used in many outdoor structures like buildings, bridges, and architectural works of art that live outside. Each grill develops a unique, gorgeous patina that is ever-changing. Arteflame grills have an internal airflow system without any moving parts or adjustments. This airflow generates more heat with minimal smoke while using less wood or charcoal. The cooktop can also be taken off so every Arteflame grill converts into a fire pit. (Lifting tool included)
Arteflame style grilling is also known as Mongolian, Korean, Hibachi, Plancha, or Teppanyaki style grilling. Griddle grill combination inserts allow you to grill Arteflame style on your barbecue by replacing your existing grill grate. Replacing your grill grate with a grill griddle combination insert allows you to grill your whole meal at the same time without having to run back to the kitchen. Arteflame inserts fit most popular grills like; Akron, Kamado, Oklahoma Joe, Joe Classic, Big Joe, Green Egg, Napoleon, Traeger, Weber, Weber Summit, Genesis, Blackstone, and most gas grills and other charcoal barbecues.
All Arteflame griddle grill cooktops, grill grates, replacement grill grate inserts, and the awesome little burger pucks are made of carbon steel and season just like cast iron cookware. Cooking on seasoned carbon steel or cast iron is regarded as the “gold standard” for preparing the best-tasting food possible. Arteflame griddle grill combination cooktops will last a lifetime.
But don't take our word for it. Invite friends and family and grill your next steakhouse-quality meal at home on your Arteflame.
