Thread: Griddle - which to get???

I was going to do an update to this. I assembled the 36" Blackstone Air Fryer combo this last week and seasoned it Sunday. I sliced my finger good on the air fryer baskets. The stamped out metal is sharp. They should have done something to those edges before selling it like that. The paper towels I used left small pieces everywhere on the griddle top. Read to use the blue shop towels since they are thicker and hopefully won't do this. If those don't work then I will get some cotton towels for the job. I seasoned it for almost 2 hrs and I still don't have the black griddle top. Should be using it this week sometime after I get the paper towel bits cleaned off and something to cook on it. Probably grilled cheese or cheese quesadilla for my girls....lol

Most recommended bacon as the first cook. I certainly helps season an iron skillet.

I used almost the whole container that Blackstone sells for seasoning. Seen somewhere the say don't season with meat oil use a plant based oil. I think it is mainly palm oil and canola oil based. But bacon will be on there this weekend I hope and many many more times.

Stop Using Bacon Grease To Season A New Griddle: Here's Why

Takes time to build a layer of seasoning up. Animal fats could go rancide if left on there a d not cured.

Correct, none of them are really going to turn all the way black until you start cooking on them.

Ok had my mom coming over to get my girls so my wife and I could get stuff done today. Invited her for breakfast and my first cook on the griddle. I think I didn’t have the gas valve opened all the way when I did the seasoning because it was hotter for this cook. I did hash browns, bacon, sausage, peppers and onions, eggs and biscuits in the air fryer. Had heat to high and blackened some items and biscuits maybe went to long. Learning curve but overall not to bad for first cook. Easy way to cook lots of food quickly. Think I’m really going to enjoy it. Sorry no pics it got a little crazy with everyone out there and then everyone ready to eat.

A fella can certainly have a lot of things to keep an eye on with that much cooking area

I just found this thread. Interesting. Looks like I'm the only one using a Blue Rhino Razur flat top griddle.
