Have you ever wondered which is more user-friendly, the plancha or the barbecue? Which cooks the tastiest dishes? Which is better for healthy cooking? So, to decide between the two biggest rivals of the summer, let's have another go!

Plancha vs barbecue: the easiest to use

Right from the moment you switch it on, the plancha scores points for its simplicity. If it's electric, all you have to do is plug it in; if it's gas, all you have to do is open it. Barbecues require more preparation and a good knowledge of how to light the charcoal. Then, when it comes to temperature control, the plancha is unquestionably more precise thanks to its control knobs. What's more, the temperature rises very quickly!

After cooking, comes cleaning. The plancha's smooth, flat surface is easy to clean.. After scraping off any cooking residue, all you have to do is wipe it down with a sponge or damp cloth to get a clean plate. Once again, the barbecue requires a little more attention. Grills are less practical to clean, especially if food has stuck to them or been burnt.

To sum up, if you have to choose between the plancha and the barbecue in terms of ease of use, the plancha is the way to go..

Plancha vs barbecue: the friendlier choice

Let's move on to the ambience of your evenings. Practicality aside, which of the plancha and the barbecue is the most convivial?

When you think of a barbecue evening, the first thing that springs to mind is a barbecue. The unique smell of charcoal burning, the smoke from the hearth and the sound of crackling are an experience that only a wood-fired barbecue can offer. What's more, the barbecue fire has no equal when it comes to bringing people together. Everyone has their own way of doing things, their own little trick to share to light the fire faster or avoid burning their kebabs. And while the plancha is just as useful for cooking outdoors, it doesn't have the same festive connotations.

So if you're looking for a friendly atmosphere for your barbecue evenings, the barbecue is the way to go!

Plancha vs barbecue: the most authentic

Barbecuing is deeply rooted in many cultures around the world. Texan barbecue, Caribbean barbecue, Korean barbecue and Japanese barbecue are examples of these well-established culinary traditions. The use of wood or charcoal to smoke the meat, as well as slow-cooking techniques and special sauces, are an integral part of these traditions.

Although the plancha is popular in Spain and parts of Latin America, its history is less ancient and less traditional, making the experience less authentic. So the point goes to the barbecue!

And we're already coming to the end of this match, which has ended in a perfect tie between the plancha and the barbecue! But thanks to the VULX plancha barbecue table, there's no need to choose! By combining the two, the experience is complete and all the guests can gather around the cooking table.
