Forge Adour is a French maker that specialises in planchas, and the Origin G75 is the three burner model in its entry range. It suits a family that cooks for six or more and wants a heavy cast iron plate that holds heat once food goes on. The stated 7,500 W is the highest output among the planchas we compared.

In its favour
- At 7,500 W across three burners, it has the most stated power in this guide.
- Electronic piezo ignition is listed, so there is no need for matches or a lighter.
- The listing names safety thermocouples on the burners and a reclining enamelled plate.
Good to know
- The listing gives outer dimensions of 79.7 x 55.3 cm but not the plate size itself.
- At 29 kg it is the heaviest model here and best left in one place.
Our take
Plate and burners
The cooking surface is enamelled cast iron, and the listing describes it as reclining, meaning it sits at a slight angle. Underneath are three galvanised steel burners with a combined 7,500 W. Three burners give you three heat zones, so you can sear fish at one end and keep vegetables ticking over at the other.
Cast iron is slower to heat than thin steel but stores more heat, so the surface does not drop sharply when you add a pile of cold prawns.
Ignition and safety features listed
Forge Adour lists electronic piezo ignition and safety thermocouples on the burners. It runs on butane or propane. The frame is black steel, and the specification mentions a double wall.
The listing does not mention a grease tray, a lid or a hose and regulator, so check what is included before your first cook.
Size and weight
Outer dimensions are about 79.7 x 55.3 x 24.4 cm, and it weighs 29 kg. That makes it the heaviest plancha in our guide. It is best set on a trolley or outdoor kitchen worktop and left there, rather than carried to a campsite.
The plate size itself is not stated, which is a gap when you are trying to compare cooking area with other models.
Origin G75 or Premium G75
The Forge Adour Premium G75 is the step-up model, also with three burners and an enamelled cast iron plate. Its listing quotes 6,600 W and sizes it for 10 to 15 people, at 21 kg. The Origin G75 states more power and more weight, with listed thermocouples. The Weber Slate GP 56 cm is lighter on power but gives a clear plate size and a non-stick enamel finish.
Verdict
Buy the Origin G75 if you want the most stated power and a heavy cast iron plate for regular family cooking. If you prefer a lighter unit with a clearly stated plate size, the Weber Slate GP 56 cm is the alternative, and the Forge Adour Origin G60 suits smaller households.
