Product description
At a glance
If you’re trying to cook more than you can comfortably fit in a pan on the barbecue, a griddle plancha is one of the simplest upgrades. The onlyfire Stainless Steel Rectangle Griddle Plancha is built for that exact job: spreading food out on a flat cooking surface so you can sear, warm and cook multiple items at once.
On paper, it looks like a proper “day-to-day” BBQ accessory rather than a specialist gadget. Stainless steel brings sturdiness, while the non-stick surface and side walls are designed to make cooking and cleaning a bit less of a chore. The grease channel also aims to collect drips, which can help reduce flare-ups compared with open grilling.
It’s not the kind of product that’s going to magically transform every grill into a professional flat-top, though. If your BBQ has a very specific insert area, you’ll want to check fit before you assume it will sit perfectly.
Where it shines
This griddle’s shape and features are clearly aimed at practical, high-coverage cooking. With a rectangle surface measuring 62.8x40.6x7cm, it’s sized to give you more usable space than a small pan, which is handy when you’re feeding more than one person or cooking a mixed batch.
The side walls are a thoughtful touch for everyday grilling. They’re meant to help when you need to flip and turn food, and they also help keep items from sliding off as you work. That matters when you’re cooking things like burgers, sliced vegetables, fajita-style peppers and onions, or even breakfast-type items like bacon and sliced potatoes.
There’s also a grease channel designed to catch drips. In real use, that can mean fewer sudden flare-ups and a cleaner cooking area, which is usually what people want from a plancha insert.
What to know about cooking and cleaning
The cooking surface is described as non-stick, and that’s the big promise here: less sticking, fewer burnt-on bits, and easier wipe-downs after the session. It’s the kind of feature that can save time, especially when you cook foods that naturally release grease.
One limitation to keep in mind: “non-stick” doesn’t mean “no maintenance”. If you tend to crank heat high for long periods, some residue can still build up. The stainless body and grease collection should help, but cleaning will still be part of the process.
A small micro-scenario: imagine you’re hosting friends and you’ve got sausages plus sliced mushrooms and peppers. With a plancha-style surface, you can lay everything flat to cook evenly, then use the side walls to help you turn items cleanly without them sliding around.

Who it suits (and who should think twice)
It’s a good fit if you want a larger, flat cooking area on a BBQ and you’re tired of crowding food into a pan. If your household eats a lot of mixed grill-style meals—veg alongside meat, quick sears, or food you like to turn often—this is the sort of accessory that can make cooking feel more organised.
It may not suit you if your BBQ has a very tight or unusual layout where insert dimensions are critical, because the description says it adapts to “most” gas grills, rather than guaranteeing fit for every setup. It’s also not the best choice if you’re only ever cooking very small portions and don’t need the extra cooking footprint—then you might be better sticking to a pan or simpler grilling approach.
Final verdict
This onlyfire stainless steel rectangle griddle plancha looks worth considering if you want to expand what you can cook on both gas and charcoal BBQs, with a design that targets easier flipping, reduced mess (thanks to the grease channel) and simpler cleaning (via the non-stick surface).
Buy it when you need extra surface space and you’ll actually use it for multi-item meals. Skip it if you’re unsure about how it will sit on your specific grill, or if you only grill small portions where the extra size won’t make much difference.
