Tips & Tricks
- Preheat Your Griddle: Always preheat your griddle before cooking. This ensures even cooking and helps to sear your food, locking in the juices and flavors. Give it at least 10-15 minutes to reach the desired temperature.
- Season Your Griddle Properly: A well-seasoned griddle is key to non-stick cooking. Before your first use and periodically thereafter, coat the surface with a thin layer of oil (flaxseed oil is a popular choice) and heat until it smokes. Repeat this process a few times to build up a good seasoning.
- Use the Right Oil: Use oils with a high smoke point like vegetable oil, canola oil, or avocado oil. These oils withstand the high temperatures of the griddle without burning and creating off-flavors.
- Control the Heat: The Blackstone griddle heats up quickly and retains heat well. Keep an eye on the temperature and adjust as needed. It’s often best to cook on medium to medium-high heat rather than cranking it up to high.
- Create Heat Zones: Utilize different areas of the griddle for different heat levels. This allows you to cook various ingredients simultaneously, moving them around as needed to prevent burning or overcooking.
- Keep It Clean: Regularly clean your griddle while cooking by scraping off food debris with a metal spatula or griddle scraper. After cooking, clean the surface thoroughly and apply a thin layer of oil to protect it.
- Prep Ingredients in Advance: Griddle cooking is fast-paced. Have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start cooking. This includes chopping vegetables, marinating meats, and measuring out seasonings.
- Use Proper Tools: Invest in high-quality, heat-resistant tools like metal spatulas, scrapers, and tongs. These will help you handle the food efficiently and withstand the griddle’s high heat.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Griddle: Give your food space to cook evenly. Overcrowding can cause the temperature to drop and result in steaming rather than searing.
- Experiment with Recipes: The Blackstone griddle is versatile. Don’t be afraid to try new recipes and cooking techniques. From breakfast to dinner and even desserts, the griddle can handle it all.
- Safety First: Always cook in a well-ventilated area, and keep a close eye on the griddle when in use. Use heat-resistant gloves if necessary, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby for safety.
- Practice Patience: Give your food time to cook properly. Avoid the temptation to flip too soon or too often. Let your meats sear and develop a crust before turning for the best results.
