January 1, 20214 yr Need some practice. But not bad. Steaks were a little closer to medium than medium rare. Asparagus was perfect. Sent from my SM-A515U using Tapatalk
January 1, 20214 yr Author Love me some asparagus on the griddle.Going to go hard in the paint tonight with shrimp and zucchini fries on the griddle and sweet potatoes in the oven.
January 1, 20214 yr Author How do you do zucchini fries on griddle?Cut a zucchini into to halves and then slice them up like you would a potato fry.
January 1, 20214 yr Is the lid worth the trouble? Have done well without it using lids to cover food when needed.
January 2, 20214 yr Is the lid worth the trouble? Have done well without it using lids to cover food when needed. I dont use the lid for cooking. I just use mine to cover the griddle while I'm not using it Sent from my SM-A515U using Tapatalk
January 2, 20214 yr Author ^^^Same, but the detachable lids aren't really made for cooking like the pro series with the built on lids. If I had the pro, I may use it during cooking sometime.

When i was cooking the smoked sausage, it was so cold and windy that the top wasn't getting hot and was having to constantly flip it. Probably part of the reason the steaks came out a little more cooked than I wanted.

Probably part of the reason the steaks came out a little more cooked than I wanted. The lid on the pro series isn’t as good as putting a dome on a burger to melt the cheese but is just like closing the lid on a grill. Sometimes you need to keep the heat in. Never had the detachable lid for my old one so I can only guess how that works. Seems painful
January 3, 20214 yr Author I use the dome but only having one and when trying to do a bunch of burgers a lid would be nice. I guess the detachable can be used but it gets hot sitting on the back rail so you would need to place it to the side if you wanted to do that which I may try next time.
January 11, 20214 yr How does steak turn out on the griddle? I usually sous vide then sear on a cast iron skillet at very high heat as I can get it hotter on my stove than griddle (using the big gas used to boil water quickly). But just straight cooking on griddle how does it compare to a gas grill?

But just straight cooking on griddle how does it compare to a gas grill? My second attempt came out perfectly medium rare with a nice sear. I have surface thermometer and it showed between 525 and 550 after about 10 minutes of heating up. Did 4 minutes per side and about 5 minutes in the oven at 350
January 13, 20214 yr Got a Blackstone for Christmas and so far have done the full breakfast (multiple times), beef fajitas, smash burgers, hibachi chicken/veggies and fried rice, and Mongolian beef and fried rice. Want to do cheese steaks and al pastor soon. What else is a must griddle? I’m a first timer.
January 13, 20214 yr Pancakes are so ridiculously easy on a Blackstone. Especially if you're making a bunch. I hated doing pancakes in a pan or on a griddle. They took too long. The Blackstone has changed my life. I can knock out enough for the whole family in 10mins.

No pots or pans. Dozen pancakes, lots of bacon, and 8 eggs while enjoying the outdoors (or at least the screened in patio). Been wanting to do crepes though.

January 15, 20214 yr I was a short order cook in a former life, and have always loved cooking on the plancha. After spending Christmas week at my inlaws cooking on the griddle top on their indoor range, I've started down the rabbit hole. My current setup is a Weber Genesis 330 NG and large BGE. Have considered the little griddle, and the griddlemaster pro insert. Little griddle grease management seems stupid. Griddlemaster grease managment is non-existent. I would lean towards the griddlemaster and just leave it in the Weber in place of the grates, but the only way to clean the grease is scoop it up with a spatula? There's a video on their youtube where the dude cooks a bunch of bacon and then spends a minute scooping burning hot bacon grease into a stainless mixing bowl. Ain't nobody got time for that. Plus, the price of a griddlemaster is perilously close to a 36" blackstone without any accessories. One way or the other, this is bound to happen DDD - what did you wind up doing?

Definitely thought of that. The weber grease trap is under the top left of the grill, so I thought I could drill/cut a hole above that corner and just let the grease drain into the grill trap. But it sure seems dumb to have to spend $200+ and then have to cut a hole when I could spend ~$300 and have a whole new toy Edited January 15, 20214 yr by Lazarus Bocanegra

Got their gas griddle hack on the way. $119, and was able to use the funny money in my paypal account. That's a win all the way around. A smaller surface area than the others, but that rear grease hole is probably the best solution of the toppers I've seen. Will revisit after some time
January 23, 20214 yr Quesadillas - got to busy to get a pic on the griddle, but I made 12 at one time Sent from my SM-A515U using Tapatalk
January 25, 20214 yr BBQHack shipped and arrived within a couple of days. First impressions out of the box are about what one would expect for a griddle top in that price range. 1/8" steel all around, cross bracing underneath. The build quality appears adequate - it's a little out of square but mostly sits level on the grill top. Seasoned it up over the weekend, then did a trial run with some bacon to get it nice and greased up. Just a minor little third degree burn through the silicone glove just north of the thumb knuckle trying to flip it after seasoning to cook the bacon. PSA - those ribs on the grip of the silicone mitt are spaced just about 1/8"...they perfectly accomodate a piping hot edge of carbon steel griddle. Smash burgers last night slammed and went hard. There's a mojo pork shoulder marinating since yesterday morning gonna get et tonight /nopics

Max heat. 6 minutes per side, let the rest for 5 minutes. Turns up just a seed hair over rare. Perfection. Right before I pull them I give them and the mushrooms & unjuns a glaze with whiskey and a torch for the flame up.
