Cast Iron Hot Plate Round 22 cm

Perfect For

This sizzling plate is ideal for home kitchens in New Zealand where you want to serve sizzling steaks, seafood platters, fajitas or any dish that benefits from staying hot and impressive at the table.
Perfect for entertaining family or friends — imagine placing a steaming plate right in front of guests, with that delicious sizzle and aroma still rising. It’s also well-suited for Kiwi lunch or dinner settings where the serving piece doubles as part of the presentation.

Description

The Cast Iron Hot Plate Round 22 cm is made from heavy-duty cast iron, ensuring outstanding heat retention and even heat distribution — essential for achieving a genuine “sizzle” effect.  With a diameter of 22 cm (roughly 8.7 inches), it offers enough surface area for a generous portion of meat, vegetables or a composed dish, yet remains manageable for regular kitchen use. One listing describes exactly this size in a “round shape” cast-iron sizzling plate.

Many models come with a wooden base or board to safely serve the hot plate directly to the table without damaging surfaces — for example, a “22 cm round sizzle platter with wood base” is listed in trade catalogue.

In a New Zealand kitchen context, this means you can use it on the stovetop, finish in the oven (depending on handle material), then place on the included wooden base for that impressive serving moment. The cast iron ensures your dish remains hot while being enjoyed.
