The kitchen on a plancha invites itself aboard the boats. Once very confidential, boaters have realized the interest of this kitchen outside. The rate of new boat equipment is increasing significantly. The yards have integrated this comfort offer. Often at the request of their customers, this growth is new in Europe.
Better than a barbecue
It is true that the outdoor kitchen is developing a lot on rental boats, but more and more owner's units are offering it as an option.
Indeed, the barbecue with its charcoal fire problem, its smoke, is not suitable for a boat. La plancha offers the friendliness of an outdoor kitchen without any ergonomic or dangerous problems.
For a plancha, the ideal situation is to be integrated into the design of the boat. The position accessible through the rear skirt seems to be the best location. Indeed, at anchor (so upwind) the smoke and cooking odours leave to the rear without disturbing the crew in the cockpit. And the cook standing in front of his griddle is comfortable cooking.
A portable plancha
But on boats that have not planned a plancha in their design, ENO also offers a Cook'n boat plancha portable model, which can be hung on the balcony or even on a handrail. Some owners even create its supports to adapt it to polyester. The portable griddle is an easy to adapt material.
Very healthy cooking
With the plancha, it is the kitchen that comes out of the cabin, which invites itself into the cockpit. Cooking with a plancha is also known to be very healthy. Indeed, the quality of ENO planchas whose surface is made of enamelled cast iron means that no fat is used, whatever the food to be cooked. With very easy maintenance, using a plancha becomes a pleasure that boaters do not sulk about.
An evolving range
For the end of 2019, ENO announces a new, more compact plancha model to open up to smaller boats. Indeed, today, built-in planchas are available as an option on sailing boats as well as motor boats from a boat size of 35 feet with a core market of around 45 feet. To open up to smaller units, the new model will soon be available.
