Planchamania on March 22, 2026 in Mallorca

Grilling trend 2026: the plancha

Planchas and griddle plates are enjoying increasing popularity in Europe, as they allow for versatile and sociable grilling on hot metal. Originally from Spain and France, the plancha has been experiencing a comeback for some time now. Even the major grill brands have expanded their product range to include planchas, thus promoting a new grilling culture.

With the "Planchamania" event, FIRE&FOOD will bring together leading grill, plancha, and fire plate brands on the Spanish island of Mallorca on March 22, 2026, to showcase the diversity and trends surrounding planchas and fire plates. The event will take place at Motorworld Mallorca. Around 500 guests are invited, including influencers, international press, and grilling enthusiasts.

Renowned grill masters from across Europe will showcase their skills on plancha grills at seven grilling stations , guiding guests through a culinary day in true plancha style. Entertaining and informative presentations, product demonstrations , and the launch of the new Hot Slate Bookazine will accompany the event. Plancha experts like Yulia Haybäck will demonstrate various plancha techniques throughout the day, sharing their knowledge while preparing recipes for breakfast, lunch, dessert, and dinner live . And of course, there will be plenty of delicious food: a welcome drink and at least seven plancha dishes are included in the ticket price! Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore the Motorworld Mallorca exhibition and SHOW DRIFT, which will be held on the same grounds.
