Why Blackstone grills are so popular, utensils.
Several key features and an intuitive user experience have made Blackstone grills a top choice for those looking to elevate their outdoor cooking game.
As seen in numerous TikTok videos, the possibilities with Blackstone are virtually endless. With its large cooking surface and multiple burners, you can easily prepare various foods simultaneously, adjusting the heat for each one. Blackstone grills are not just for grilling meats; they're perfect for making full breakfasts, seafood, and vegetables. This makes them a multifunctional tool for all tastes and occasions.
Thanks to their flat griddle design and heat distribution system, these grills offer consistent cooking and avoid the hot and cold spots that often plague other grills.
Blackstone grills are crafted from high-quality materials like stainless steel and cast iron. They're built to withstand heavy use and the elements, making them a long-term investment. Proper care and maintenance are still required to keep them in top condition.
These grills are ideal for cooking for large groups, turning the experience into a social and fun event. Their expansive surface allows you to prepare multiple dishes at once, perfect for family gatherings or parties with friends.
Blackstone continually introduces new models and accessories that enhance the user experience, such as additional shelves and lids for better cooking control and utensils and non-stick spray.
Unlike typical grill grates, Blackstone grills are much easier to clean. Their smooth surface allows for easy removal of food residue and grease, simplifying maintenance and extending the griddle's lifespan.
Tips for keeping your Blackstone grills in top shape
Season your griddle
Before using your griddle for the first time, it’s crucial to season it. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil (like canola or flaxseed) to the griddle surface and heat it until the oil starts to smoke and adhere. This creates a non-stick, protective layer and helps prevent rust.
Clean after each use
Clean the surface while it's still warm. Use a steel spatula to scrape off food and grease. Then, wipe it down with a cloth or paper towel, and if needed, use a small amount of hot water to remove stubborn residues. Avoid soap or detergents, as they can damage the seasoning layer. You can also get a Blackstone-specific cleaning kit.
Reapply oil
After cleaning, apply a light coat of oil to keep the surface seasoned and protected against rust. This is especially important if the griddle is stored for a long time.
Avoid sharp metal utensils
Use soft stainless steel or silicone spatulas and utensils to prevent damaging the seasoning layer. Avoid anything that could scratch or wear down the seasoning.
Protect from the elements
Store your Blackstone in a dry place and cover it with a waterproof cover when not in use. Exposure to moisture can cause corrosion and shorten the griddle’s lifespan.
Regularly inspect components
Periodically check the burners, gas lines, and other components to ensure they function correctly. Replace any worn or damaged parts to maintain safe and efficient performance.
