Essential Blackstone Tools & Griddle Equipment

To get that perfect sear and keep your griddle in top shape, you need a few specialized items. Don't settle for standard kitchen spatulas; the heat of the Blackstone requires "heavy-duty" gear.

• Long Stainless Steel Spatulas: You need at least two. These allow you to "toss" food like a hibachi chef and flip large stacks of pancakes or multiple burger patties at once.
• Heavy-Duty Griddle Scraper: This is your most important cleaning tool. It’s used to push grease and food debris into the trap while the griddle is still hot, keeping your surface smooth.
• Squeeze Bottles (Oil & Water): Keep one filled with oil (like avocado or canola) for cooking and one with water. Squirt water on a hot griddle to create steam, which helps loosen stuck-on bits or melts cheese under a dome.

Ingredients Needed for Blackstone Pork chops

• 1 pound pork chops (1 to 2 inches in thickness) - Boneless or bone-in both work well. Thicker chops tend to stay juicier during cooking.
• 2 tablespoons olive oil - Helps create a good sear and prevents sticking. Avocado oil is another great option.
• 1 teaspoon sea salt - Enhances the natural flavor of the pork.
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper - Adds balance and a mild kick.
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Pro Tips for Blackstone Pork Chops

• Pat the pork chops dry before seasoning to help them sear properly.
• Do not overcrowd the griddle. Space allows for better browning.
• Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking. Pork chops can dry out quickly if cooked too long.
• Let the pork chops rest after cooking so the juices redistribute.
• If your pork chops are very thick, you can lower the heat slightly after searing to finish cooking through.

Storage

Store leftover pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat or back on the Blackstone until warmed through. You can also use an air fryer for a few minutes.

Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can dry out the meat.
