Now firmly established in its 3rd UK season, the innovative French barbecue brand, Verycook launches new additions to its dynamic and colourful, two and three burner gas plancha grill collection. 'Simplicity' grills now have the option to choose a professional stainless steel cooking surface as well as the standard black enamel plancha plate.

Founder of Verycook, Alex Carre, says: “Our gas plancha grills are quite different in the UK marketplace and they are steadily growing in popularity in the UK. Stainless steel finishes are still popular but our colourful palette of Creative and Simplicity plancha finishes have also won the hearts of the UK cook with Veryspicy and Verynight being the most popular colours.

“The Verypizz pizza oven is our best-selling accessory often colour co-ordinated with the plancha or in the tres chic stainless steel finish to contrast. We like to think that Verycook aesthetically puts the Joie de Vivre into the outdoor cooking experience for the UK barbecue fan.”

Verycook plancha grills can be placed on any flat surface. As soon as the sun comes out, simply click the ignition and you are ready to cook in less than a minute. And with a flat, solid surface and raised cooking edges, there is no danger of losing your food over the side, or onto the grills. Being able to move food safely around the grill in this away allows you to explore different styles of cooking; from straight grilling to exotic stir fries – the plancha opens up a world of gourmet experiences. The trademark compact grease drip tray ensures excess fat drains to the back and is stored away from your food until it is time to clean up, and the plancha also comes complete with magnetic sides to store barbecue utensils out of the way when not in use, and quick to hand when required.

Proven popular in the Creative range, the stainless-steel cooking surface is now an affordable option available on the Simplicity two burner plancha grill. The new surface comes complete with a removable grill which is perfectly placed to keep food warm whilst searing and frying on the main surface. The advantages of a stainless-steel plancha surface are:

• Optimum heat distribution
• Highly durable – 20-years warranty on the cooking plate!
• Totally rust-free
• No risk of scratching: food can directly be cut on the cooking surface with no fear of damage.

Ideal for small garden, patios and balconies the 55cm two burner Verycook Simplicity Plancha Grill with stainless-steel cooking surface costs £419 except Verysilver at £439.

10 Exciting and Beautiful Colours – Verycook Plancha Grill
Barbecue traditionalists can stay safe with Stainless Steel but with so many colours to choose from, Verycook has a colour that will appeal to you whether you're an urbanite or country-phile. Verycook even has a spring-like 'green' similar to 2017 Pantone of the Year, Greenery. As soon as the sun is out, the gas plancha can be ready to cook within a few minutes of pressing its ignition. There's no need to use oil, and its sloping top channels excess fat away from the food into a purpose-built drip tray, making cooking 'a la plancha' perfect for those who prefer a healthier style of cooking. Easy to clean, choose from rolled, enamelled or stainless steel cooking surfaces.

Verysmart 50:50 Plancha Grill
The Verysmart 50:50 enables you to cook 'a la plancha' over gas on one half of your grill whilst using the other half as a traditional barbecue grilling over charcoal. This is perfect for dishes where the meat may require a more traditional barbecue flavour from cooking over coals or charcoal, whilst you may choose to stir fry vegetables and noodles as an accompaniment on the plancha plate. The separate temperature controls make it easy to vary the heat to manage two very different styles of cooking at one time. There is no limit to your gourmet endeavours with the Verysmart 50:50. Available in 10 colours.

Verycook 'Creative' Accessories
Family Favourite – the VERYPIZZ' Pizza Oven will keep little cooks as well as big cooks entertained. Create your own pizzas or bake within the stainless steel cavern which simply sits on top of your plancha grill. Complete with a ceramic pizza stone and temperature gauge, use the plancha's burners control the temperature.

The Verygrill accessory fits onto your gas plancha and enables you to create a more traditional barbecue grilling over charcoal. Simply remove your plancha grill plate, plug in the grill, and place your charcoal under the grill.
Fast & Flexible - Cooking with charcoal or coals usually means additional planning to ensure the fuel is hot enough to cook. Verygrill makes it easier to cook with hard fuel; use the express ignition to light the gas and rapidly heat your fuel so that you're ready to cook within a few minutes. Use the two adjustable grill heights to cook slowly or seal food quickly.
Easy to clean - the gas burners are completely protected from the charcoal and ash, and the two dishwasher safe ash trays ensure embers are easy to dispense and clean.

VERYWOK
Thai, Chinese, Malaysian, Indian – a world of cuisine makes the Wok your Oyster! Rediscover the delights of Asiatic cookery with the Verywok accessory.
BBQ finesse – for more delicate dishes such as aromatic stir frys using more exotic spices such as lemon grass, ginger and tamarind simply swap the plancha grill plate for the Verywok. The professional round-bottom Wok sits steadily in direct contact with flames to ensure optimal heat distribution. The Verywok benefits from the heating power of the plancha grill and is built from durable stainless steel.
Clever thinking – enamelled plates either side of the wok can be used to put food aside and keep them warm whilst continuing to work the Wok.

VERYCOOK LID
Many cooks now recognise the benefit of keeping a lid down on the barbecue to channel indirect heat around the food to evenly cook without burning. The Verycook Lid allows you to braise and bake and enjoy new recipes; turn down the temperature to slow cook succulent food, or use the surrounding heat to indirectly cook more delicate food. The Verycook Lid also protects the plancha grill against bad weather, especially the cooking surface and the grease drip tray. You will also avoid splashes of grease when cooking fatty food.

Notes to Editors:
Verycook was founded in 2011 by a young, award winning entrepreneur, Alexandre Carre. The Verycook founder had experienced Plancha cooking during a trip to Spain many years earlier and first imported Spanish Planchas to sell in France. Demand for this healthier and versatile style of barbecuing was such that Alexandre realised there was a market in France, and he developed Verycook working with specialist French companies. Verycook retails in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Sweden and the UK. Alexandre is a driven businessman with a passion for outdoor dining and a refreshing approach. The online Verycook community shares tips and advice on plancha grilling as well as a growing bank of delicious recipes. The company continues to develop creative products and has Verycook Ambassadors and professional chefs Rachel Allen, Cornelia Poletto and Yayo Daporta supporting its brand.d
