Broil King Plancha & Griddle Scraper — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Broil King Plancha & Griddle Scraper used for?
This scraper is designed specifically for cleaning Broil King planchas and griddles. It reaches into corners and clears the entire grease trough to remove stuck-on residue, char, and grease.
What materials and construction features does it have?
It features a **stainless steel blade** for durable scraping power and a **hard resin handle** embossed with the Broil King logo. The tool is dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
What are its approximate dimensions and design details?
According to listings (e.g. AJ Madison), the scraper’s height is about 10 inches, and its width is ~4 inches. It’s slim enough to slide under debris but strong enough for stubborn buildup. The product page also emphasizes its ability to reach deep into corners and clean the full grease trough.
How do I properly use and care for the scraper?
After your griddle or plancha cools (but while still warm), use the blade to scrape char and residue into your grease trough or catch tray. Use the contours to reach corners and under the edges. After scraping, wash in warm soapy water or place in a dishwasher (safe per manufacturer). Dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion. Avoid using the scraper on overly hot surfaces or using it as a pry tool beyond what the blade is designed for.
Will this tool damage my griddle surface?
The stainless steel blade is intended for durable surfaces (like cast iron or matte planchas). However, on delicate finishes (e.g. glossy porcelain), you should use caution—apply gentle pressure and avoid dragging the edge. Some listings specifically note that the scraper is safe to use on cast iron and plancha surfaces.
