Griddle FAQ's
How do I season my Blackstone Griddle before cooking?
To season your Blackstone griddle, start by cleaning the surface. Then, heat it and apply a thin layer of cooking oil like avocado oil. Allow the oil to smoke and darken, creating a non-stick surface. Repeat the process a few times for best results.
Can I use any type of cooking oil for the Blackstone recipes?
Most Blackstone recipes will specify a type of oil, but in general, high-smoke point oils like vegetable oil, avocado oil, canola oil, or grapeseed oil are recommended for griddle cooking.
How do I clean the griddle after cooking?
While your Blackstone griddle is still warm, scrape off any excess food with a griddle scraper. Then, wipe the surface with a cloth or paper towel. For a deeper clean, use water and a mild detergent, but ensure the flat top griddle is thoroughly dried to prevent rust.
Can I cook multiple recipes on the griddle at the same time?
Absolutely! The large surface area of the Blackstone Griddle allows you to cook multiple dishes at the same time on the hot griddle.
Just make sure to manage your space and monitor the cooking times for each item.
Do I need any special tools for cooking on a Blackstone Griddle?
While you don't necessarily need special tools, having a set of long tongs, a griddle spatula, and a scraper can make the cooking and cleaning process smoother.
Blackstone does make a lot of fun products you can buy over time!
How do I ensure even cooking on my griddle?
The Blackstone Griddle provides even heat distribution, but for best results, you want to rotate your food and avoid overcrowding your Blackstone.

Can't wait to try these. We've had quite the summer with some remodeling and carpet cleaning, which just means more time to spend on our patio and the Blackstone!
