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 as they do at top steakhouse restaurants. The plancha will give you the perfect sear every time.

The plancha gives the perfect sear while not overcooking the inside of your steak. While the steak is sizzling in its juices, it naturally picks up the great smokey flavor from the live fire. The juices from the traditional grill grate 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.

The solid cooktop is also ideal for grilling vegetables, poultry, or breakfast. Try bacon and eggs!


The Arteflame Big Green Egg inserts include 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 reaching into the grill. In addition, the Arteflame insert for the Kamado versions has locating holes to 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 includes 2% - 3% Carbon. This difference might not sound like much, but the carbon affects the metal's grain structure.

    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 exceptionally brittle and can't stand the shock.

    In a grill, the heat is never uniform. This makes cast Iron a bad choice for grill inserts. For this reason, all Arteflame cooktops, inserts, griddles, and Burger Pucks are made of only Carbon Steel.
