Blackstone griddles

Still cookin! A tip, sand your griddle smooth. That bumpy surface isn’t as good as a nice smooth surface.

I use safflower oil. It’s what they used at Benihana when I cooked there. Basically any nut oil is the way to go. No veggie oils they’ll go moldy.

That’s what I have and love it. It’s just me and my kid but I use it 2-3 times a week.

I just used my 17” electric one for the first time today. It worked awesome. Cleanup is definitely easier.

I did mine over the weekend! Needed more Grit sand paper. 100/200. But I've used the shit out of my Blackstone for almost 2 years. Don't wait that long!!! Turned out perfect!

I do the same to my cast iron skillets. Smooth as possible. Then well seasoned. Food rarely sticks.

Was this after cleaning? It will be fine.

Yes. Not right after once it cooled down it started to flake.
Once I saw it I heated it back up and tried to season it again but it still cooled the same.

Did some taters, carrots, greenbeans pared with a couple of top sirloin's from Costco. Shit was good and gave thought about titties & beer as I drank a couple of cold ones with it.

Saw this too a few days ago. Screaming deal!

 

[calkid]

I want the 22" portable".

I keep one in my RV and it gets used more than any BBQ I ever owned. Treat it like a cast iron pan and you're good to go.
I cut a large plastic cutting board to fit the grill and wrap it with blue disposable shop towels before laying it on top. Keeps it clean when stored in the basement under the RV.

 

[Brokeboatin221]

Bought the parentals a 28 for Christmas today hope they use the damn thing

I ended up on the Blackstone site and it looks like they are having some huge clearance sale. I haven't ordered anything, but figured I would share it.


Looks like it is a fake site

I flip the top upside down and put everything inside like when came out of the box.

This one is comparable to the small Blackstone.
My large flat top is a Royal Gourmet, it’s quality

Anyone have one and anything you don’t like about it? I feel like I would get a lot more use out of it than my bbq. Most “bbqing” I do in my smoker anyways. Bacon etc all outside on the griddle not making a mess or smelling up the house. I currently have a kenmore 5 burner with a nat gas conversion and it’s in decent shape. I’d probably to the conversion to the griddle as well and I noticed they have a kit which is nice.

One thing I’ve noticed is that people making YouTube videos with em use a LOT of oil or butter. I’m guessing you never want things to stick as it’ll mean a re seasoning. Also what happens to the grill if you don’t use it for a month? Does the oil etc get all nasty and moldy?

I just used mine yesterday, after not using it for a couple months. It was fine. I don't leave a lot of oil on it. I wipe it to a very thin coating.

I did warm it, scrubbed it with paper towels and water, and burned it off for a few minutes, just to be safe for any mold or mildew I couldn't see.

All was good.

So about mold/mildew apparently if you use a NUT based oil, you shouldnt get any of that. i use safflower oil for its high temp. but if you use like vegetable oil, you'll get nasty stuff.

I actually just use Pam spray on it most of the time. I will get some nut based oil.

 

[coolchange]

That’s an ok deal. I paid 148$ and got the stand and big tank adapter hose. Same deal is now 174$. But the stand alone is 99$? So if you just need the griddle that’s pretty good. Do the math. I’m not getting the bag cause that things heavy. Whatever due deligence.

The problem with nut oils is that they can go rancid after a while. I use avocado oil and have never had a problem.

The simple solution to all of this is to use it often. If your excuse is that it is in your camper and you don't go camping that often... well... you aren't camping enough

And I have mentioned this before but smash cinnamon rolls are the shiznit.

 

[Brokeboatin221]

I use vegetable oil mixed with olive oil 50/50 and can’t say if it’s right or wrong but I have never had any issues in the last year of owning mine. I do however use mine 1-2 times a week.

 

[Riverryder]

I have a 17inch but got - new one for the trailer since this one came with a hood and bag! Maken mulas tomorrow with it!

Thanks for the tip.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Anyone have the cutting board accessory for the side shelf? Is it any good? It looks like it fits over a side shelf. For $20 might be worth rolling the dice.

Robot or human?
