Blackstone griddles have a flat cooking surface which allows for even heat distribution and the ability to cook a variety of foods at once. They also come in a variety of sizes, making them suitable for both small and large gatherings. I have a 22 in Blackstone griddle.

Additionally, Blackstone griddles are easy to clean and maintain, which makes them a great investment for those who love outdoor cooking. Overall, their durability, versatility, and ease of use make Blackstone griddles a great option for anyone looking to up their outdoor cooking game.

Recipe FAQs

Do I need to preheat a griddle?

Yes, it is recommended to preheat a griddle before using it. This allows for even heat distribution and can help prevent food from sticking. The exact preheating time may vary depending on the type of griddle and the desired cooking temperature, but a general rule of thumb is to preheat for about 5-10 minutes.

How do I season a Blackstone?

To season a Blackstone griddle, follow these steps:
Clean the griddle with soap and water and dry it thoroughly. Use a water bottle to spread on the griddle. Do this on high heat. Clean off excess with paper towels.
Apply a thin layer of oil all over the griddle surface. Use a spatula to spread the oil over the griddle.
Turn off the heat and let the griddle cool down completely.
Repeat steps 2-4 times.
