Vevor 21" Griddle - Now with Fahrenheit on the temp dial!! SS body with iron cooking surface!! 

Thank you very much. I'm very happy with their griddles. They do take a little bit of time to heat up but I'm always very transparent and let you guys know how long it takes. The surface is great though and definitely outperforms the Blackstone E-Series.

Thank you so much! Greatly appreciate the kind thoughts. Also to let you know it is an iron surface and not steel. The body of the device is stainless steel but the cooking plate is iron. I'll really have to look up the onion volcano that you mentioned. Sounds intriguing for sure. Unfortunately I don't eat seafood in any capacity but all the rest sounds great!

Thank you very much. I have not experienced the issue you are mentioning. I have a 14 and a 21. So far neither of them have leaked oil down the sides where the walls are. That definitely doesn't sound like a fun problem though and definitely understand any hesitance about getting a newer device.

I hope you enjoy it. What you're referring to is the seasoning. I would not recommend removing it. The griddle has an iron surface. Without the seasoning process being done it will not be non-stick. It also acts as a protectant. If you have ever had any cast iron cookware it should be treated the same way.

You can definitely run the device with the proper extension cord. Even if it is a heavy duty extension cord make sure that it's able to support at least 15 amps. I've used mine on the patio before like that and it's no issue.

It kind of depends. Sometimes I make smashburgers and use a little butter on the griddle but in order to do that with a high temperature you have to put down some oil and butter so that the butter does not burn. If I'm not using butter I make sure the griddle has a thin layer of oil on it but I scrape off all the excess.

I've honestly never heard of that before as a technique for cast iron. All that's needed is thin layers of oil taken to above the smoke point. Wait for The oil to burn off and the smoke to stop. Repeat anywhere from 5 to 7 times and you're good to go. You could Google cast iron seasoning techniques and I'm sure there's different ways that people handle the same thing.

So long as you're getting this one, 1600 Watts, it will draw just under 14 amps. Make sure you know which one you are getting because there's another version that's dual zone and 3000 Watts which requires direct wiring to the breaker.

@@TheFoodExperience thank you

I like using metric as well however This time I used inches.

I have not tried that before. Not sure if that would really work out. When I cook a whole chicken I use my pellet grill.

Just bought a 21" vevor grill how to cook pork chops and regular hamburger

@robertwoolf4421 pork chops I really not sure because I've never cooked them. As far as a regular thick hamburger goes I would set the temperature up at about 400° and make sure to let it preheat for at least 20 minutes. Put down a tiny thin layer of high smoke point neutral flavored oil before the burger goes on. Let it go until Brown starts creeping up the edge of the patty till about halfway and then flip. Then let it continue until your desired doneness. Tools recommended for that would be a infrared temperature probe/gun to make sure your griddle is heated up properly in addition to an instant read thermometer so you could check for doneness. Make sure to have the griddle seasoned properly before you try any of that though.

How do you grill canned potatoes on a vevor griddle and what temperature I'm new at this stuff I need to know

I'm not familiar with canned potatoes. Never seen those before. Are you looking to make hash browns? If so if I'm in a hurry I'll use frozen hash browns. If I'm not in a hurry I'll shred the potatoes myself, soak the shreds and ice cold water. Dump the water out after the soak and re-soak. It helps get rid of the starch. Then I put the potatoes onto a dish towel or paper towels and make sure to squeeze all the water out. Once they are dry they are ready for the griddle. Make sure to heat up to at least 375° and use plenty of oil or a combination of oil and butter. Put the potatoes down. Wait at least 8 minutes and then flip them. If it's something else you are looking to do please be more specific and I'll try to help.

Most definitely is...

Sorry to hear that. Very unfortunate indeed. They do have a warranty. Don't know if you tried contacting their customer service.
