Benefits & Use Cases

This grill/griddle plate isn’t just another accessory—it’s a game-changer for indoor cooking enthusiasts. Imagine being able to prepare sizzling grilled chicken cutlets, golden-brown pancakes, or perfectly caramelized vegetables all in one compact appliance. During winter months or in urban apartments where outdoor grilling isn’t feasible, this plate brings the essence of summer barbecues right into your kitchen. The ridged side excels at locking in juices while delivering that signature grilled texture and appearance, making proteins appear as if they were cooked over an open flame. Meanwhile, the flat side provides even heating for fragile foods that could easily burn or stick—like eggs, crepes, or thin slices of pork tenderloin.

Cooks appreciate how quickly the plate reaches optimal temperature and how uniformly heat distributes across its surface. Because it integrates directly into the air fryer’s existing system, there’s no need for complicated setups or additional equipment. Simply place your food on the desired side, insert the plate into the basket, and let the air fryer do the rest. Its compatibility with multiple Brio model numbers means many households can enhance their cooking experience without purchasing a new appliance.

Beyond its primary function, this plate also supports healthier cooking habits by minimizing oil usage thanks to its superior non-stick properties. Whether you’re meal-prepping for the week or hosting a casual dinner party, you can achieve restaurant-style results with minimal effort and cleanup.

Important Notes

It’s crucial to confirm that your air fryer model is included in the list of compatible units before purchasing. The Nuwave Non-Stick Grill/Griddle Plate is intended exclusively for use with the following NuWave Brio models: 38001, 38004, 38005, 38006, 38011, 38015, 38020, and 38040. It will not fit other NuWave air fryers or third-party appliances. Always ensure the plate is completely cool before handling or cleaning to prevent burns and maintain structural integrity.

For optimal performance and longevity, hand wash the plate using warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or metal utensils, as these can damage the non-stick coating. While some dishwasher cycles may be safe, prolonged exposure to high heat and harsh detergents can degrade the coating over time—so hand washing is strongly recommended.

The package contains only the grill/griddle plate itself; no instruction manual, warranty card, or additional accessories are included. Users should refer to their original NuWave Brio air fryer user guide for proper loading techniques, recommended cook times, and safety precautions when using this attachment. When placing food on the plate, avoid overloading the basket to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking results.
