SOGA 30CM Round Cast Iron Korean BBQ Grill Plate with Handles and Drip Lip
If you’re looking for a grill plate that delivers authentic Korean BBQ style sizzling and searing, the SOGA 30 cm round cast iron plate is built for it. Made of thick, seasoned cast iron for exceptional heat retention and even cooking, it will transform your kitchen or outdoor grilling game. Whether you’re searing marinated beef bulgogi, grilling vegetables, or enjoying a casual weekend cook-out, this plate gives you the performance and durability you need.
Cast iron is known for its ability to hold heat and distribute it evenly. The SOGA plate is crafted from thick cast iron, ensuring consistent surface temperature - so you get those signature sear marks and full flavour every time. (Feature noted in product description.)
One standout feature is the perimeter drip lip that captures excess fat and juices during grilling. This means less mess, better control over grease run-off and a cleaner cooking surface - especially handy when grilling fatty cuts or marinated meats.
Moving a hot cast-iron plate is a hazard without proper handles. The SOGA plate includes sturdy side handles so you can safely lift, reposition or transfer the plate - even when it’s red-hot - without risking burns or awkward handling.
No need to go through a long break-in process. The plate comes pre-seasoned (baked with vegetable oil) for a built-in non-stick surface that improves with use. This means you can use it right out of the box and gradually develop your own seasoning layer.
This isn’t just a specialty plate for one scenario. Use it on the stovetop, full-sized grill, induction cooktop, oven, or even over an open flame. That versatility makes it a great choice for indoor kitchens, outdoor patios or camping setups.
Cast iron is a lifetime material when treated properly. The SOGA plate is designed to withstand heavy use, high heat, and repeated cooking sessions - making it a long-term investment rather than a disposable product.

While many grill plates exist, the SOGA 30 cm round cast iron plate stands out because of the thoughtful features and build quality. The combination of heavy-gauge cast iron, the drip lip for grease control, safe handles, and multi-heat source compatibility make it one of the more complete grill plates in its category. It’s not just utilitarian - it brings style and performance.
Preheat gradually: Place on low heat and gradually increase to avoid thermal shock which can damage cast iron.
Use appropriate utensils: Avoid metal spatulas or sharp tools that can scratch the seasoning layer. Wooden or silicone tools are recommended.
Clean gently: After use, rinse with warm water and mild soap (if needed). Avoid harsh detergents or soaking too long.
Dry thoroughly: Cast iron can rust if left wet. Dry it immediately and apply a thin coating of cooking oil before storing.
Storage: Store in a dry place. If stacking with other cookware, place a paper towel between items to allow airflow.
Re-season when needed: If food starts sticking or the surface looks dull, apply a fresh layer of seasoning (light oil, heated) to restore the non-stick layer.
Can this plate be used on induction cooktops?
Yes. The cast iron body is compatible with induction heat, so it will work on induction hobs as well as gas and electric.
Does the drip lip capture a lot of grease?
Yes. The drip lip is designed to catch excess fat and juices during grilling, helping to reduce mess and making cleanup easier.
Is the surface non-stick right away?
It’s pre-seasoned which gives a good non-stick base, but as with any cast iron cookware, the non-stick quality improves with repeated use and proper care.
What size portions can I cook at once?
With a 30 cm diameter, you can comfortably grill for two to four people at once depending on portion sizes - ideal for home use.
Is it heavy to handle?
At approx. 4.5 kg, it has good heft (which helps heat retention), but the dual handles make it manageable for lifting and moving.
