Awesome BBQ Merch: teespring.com/... This video shows you how to properly season a flat top griddle before first use. Also avoid a rookie mistake that is PAINFUL!
Keep yellow mustard handy. Put it on a burn as soon as it happens and you wont blister in many cases. Obviously nothings going to fully fix a bad burn but youll be suprised on most common burns that it instantly helps.
So informative!!! If we’re ever lucky enough to get our hands on one of these gorgeous Blackstones, we will be seasoning it up with your advice on mind!!! Bring on the smash burgers!!!!!🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏🤤🤤🤤🤤
I found out olive oil causes a sticky residue. Even though ppl recommend it. So i spent the extra money and got the Blackstone seasoning, cleaned griddle really good and reseasoned. No issues now.
First step, pour 3 fingers of Scotch. Next step, light a fine cigar. Last step, drink scotch and smoke cigar while admiring your beautiful new griddle!
WHY?? Wiping it dry after the soap water wash can leave soap residue on the griddle. RINSE then wipe and heat to dry...unless you like tasting soap in your food.
I’ve heard that too but with a smoke point of 225 degrees for Flaxseed compared to a smoke point of 420 degrees for Grape Seed, wouldn’t the oil with the higher smoke point be better on a hot flat top griddle?
Just bought this and I can't fricking start it. WTH. I got the propane tank hooked up I see the spark sparking when I hit the auto start button but there's no flame. The knobs are on the flame/fire sign. What am I doing wrong here ????
I find it’s best to season with bacon. It also pops and gets all over the sides and protects all of the metal around the grill, plus it taste good. Lol. Just kidding halfway. Are usually season for us with an oil and then let it cool down a little and do a second coat with oil then I cook bacon on there and then just wipe it off as I cut off the heat and let it cool. But I have seen a lot of people do cast-iron with nothing but bacon they just clean it really good and heat it up and cook some bacon in it and smear the grease around and it seems to work great. Which ever way you do it it’s a really important step and as long as you use it once in a while it should last for decades after being seasoned right. I don’t really clean them that much either, if something sticks are use a wet rag or ice and that usually stems anything off of there and then I just grease it up again before I let it cool down
What happened to the warning part? I thought it might be that you never heat it up on high. But you slammedcitcon high right away. Just think of your griddle as a realy big cast iron skillet...
I noticed when you were letting it heat up initially, some of the surface was starting to "blue". Would it be a good idea to let as much of it blue as possible before seasoning, or does it matter? I know with something like a carbon steel wok, you want to get as much of it to blue as possible before seasoning.... Does the same thing apply to these griddle surfaces, or do you risk it warping if you do that? Just curious. thank you for your video! I just got my new Blackstone and cant wait to start using it.
If you noticed at the start of seasoning he had the cloth and no gloves and a clean griddle, then he is wiping a blackened griddle with gloves on. That oil gets really hot in moments so he scorched his finger and didn't want to show that part.
If you follow the seasoning instructions provided by Blackstone your griddle will be seasoned just fine, you don’t have to buy expensive oils or put a juju spell on it, just keep it simple.
That is so LOL!! 😂😂😂!! Seeing this thing clearly reading 📖 Blackstoned”. This must be to capture our attention. That’s so darned funny 😆. All the griddles I see at my Tractor 🚜 Supply Job, read “Blackstone”, without the “D”. I work at Tractor 🚜 Supply Distribution Center, so that’s how I know the name is spelled. Please keep these humorous griddle videos coming, I want to be amused. I’m even subbing to your channel!! Your friend, Jeff.
Looks like a good way to screw up a brand new griddle. Pretty sure they tell you NOT to preheat on high due to possibility of warping it. No reason in hell to season at 500+, your just burning oil. Ya don't season your cast iron pan in the house that high and no need for a griddle either. 350-375 stays within the burn range for most oil's.
Yeah you’re not supposed to turn it up to high right away you’re supposed to turn it to medium high and let it slowly heat up to high you can warp your griddle. Also cheap canola oil from Walmart works the best for season lol.
I have owned my BlackStone griddle for 4 years now. One great piece of equipment for my outdoor kitchen. As for seasoning. I did not go through all of the cycles he is doing here. Nothing wrong with what he is doing here. I heated up my griddle the first time and put some Canola oil on it and rubbed it in. I started immediately cooking on the griddle. The more you cook on the flattop, the more seasoned it gets. So just use it and over time it will get a nice coating. Just remember after each use, after it cools and you give it a good cleaning, wipe it down with a new heavy coat of oil and cover it up. Chef Jerry
That’s awesome. I just got my hands on the ceramic coated griddle that pit boss sent me and man…you have to use little to no oil and clean up is a breeze. I just posted the few days ago. Check it out and let me know what you think about it.
I used flax seed oil, what I use for my cast irons. So far had my griddle since Christmas (thanks babe) cooked three times on it and it’s super easy to clean. I think flaxseed is the best high temperature oil for seasoning
I thought you were supposed to clean it while it was still a little hot? Like scrape it off while it's still hot and wipe it with paper towel and then oil it up
@@blakeguthrie6246as soon as I finish cooking, I scape all the junk off the griddle. I come back or you can do it then just take a paper towel and wipe it clean leaving the oil on the griddle. When you get ready to use again, heat it up, spray some water over the griddle and wipe with more paper towel. Put down new oil and cook away.
On another note, when doing ANYTHING on an extremely hot surface or piece of equipment it's best to gooo slowwww. Don't coat fast, don't cut fast, don't drop fast. Dad taught me this when I was a kid and helped prevent me from getting burned or having any cooking related mishaps. Cheers!
Dude I burnt the fire out my my finger just like you it took forever to get the sting out sorry but I laughed so hard because I know the paint you went through
@@richardsmith4187 That’s the only reason I clicked the video because I was trying to figure out what knock off this was but now I know it’s just a personalized logo 😂👏🏽
So full of it I hate when in the description it says one thing just to get you to watch no where did you mention anything about not doing something smfh..waist of time
Totally fine either way. I just did that to really get rid of that shipping material and residue off the griddle top before I seasoned it in. After this one I got the 4 burner Blackstone and the new Pit Boss 4 burner with the ceramic coating and that griddle is a total game changer...
I never saw the part (go figure, clickbate) on what NOT to do as you mentioned in the headline. If you are going to have to lie to get viewers, then you need to quit making videos!
I guess I should throw in the towel. LOL At 2:28 I show what seasoning without gloves looks like and got a HUGE burn on my finger (that was the do NOT do this part) but I will agree that didn't come through strong enough but I was just starting out. Thank you for watching the video and I would encourage you to watch my latest videos because the content and quality is 100% better. Cheers man and happy grilling!
I watched your video and what not to do that caught my attention but you failed to say what not to do that’s not very good to get me to watch some thing that didn’t even address the situation to get a few out of the deal
Yes Grill Sergeant! Thank you for conditioning my body and mind. Feel free to do it anytime. You are correct in how you clean and season the Blackstone. I enjoy the hell out of mine and stay hydrated all the time.
HA! BlackstoneD. Nice Easter egg. I'm getting my used Blackstone cook top back from the sand blaster today. I'm going to use your technique to season it.
@@GrillSergeant 30 bucks at the sand blaster. The grill was a curbside cast off. The neighbor is moving and he put it out for the garbage. Besides being rusted, it only needs a new propane hose. I think I scored!
