Are stainless steel griddles good for tacos?
Stainless griddles can work, but for rich browning and consistent heat, Gaucho Life recommends the carbon steel griddle. Its heat retention delivers perfectly seared tacos without cold spots.
What makes carbon steel better than stainless steel for tacos and more?
Carbon steel heats evenly and holds high temperatures, making it ideal not just for tacos, but also for searing proteins, grilling vegetables, or even toasting bread. Gaucho Life’s carbon steel planchas offer more control and flavor than stainless alternatives.

What other types of grills pair well with a plancha?
If you're expanding your outdoor cooking setup, consider pairing your plancha with a full argentinian grill for a traditional asado experience, or a Santa Maria grill for crank-controlled fire management. Both offer excellent compatibility with griddles and broaden your fire-cooking options.
