Today we are going to talk about a ton of things you can do with a flat top griddle. Everything from seasoning, to accessories and of course recipes and techniques. And don’t worry even if you don’t own a griddle there will be tons you can take from this episode to your own kitchen, back yard grill etc.

Join Me Today to Discuss…

• Why Cook on a Griddle
  • Amazing power, searing and control
  • How more things than you know are made in restaurants
  • Less work to clean up
  • You can make almost anything, you can even bake and deep fry
  • Portable options for camping, etc.
  • Cook for a lot of people fast
• Gas vs. Electric – Pros and cons of both
• The accessories I think you either really need or should really consider and a couple nice to haves
  • A solid cover if it is an outside griddle even under cover – what I use for my Blackstone
  • A good griddle scraper – one I recommend
  • Good robust spatchulas – Blackstone’s SUCK, get something like these
  • A good digital laser temperature gun – My favorite one is here
  • An instant read thermometer – Great Option Here
  • A good melting/basting/roasting dome – Set of two of the best I could find
  • Squeeze bottles for water/oil/sauces – Get something like these
  • Presses – For bacon, smash burgers, etc. – Light Aluminum Ones – Standard Options
  • Dough scrapers are fine if you like them, I basically never use them personally – best one I have found
  • A “Griddle Goalie” if you have certain griddles – like this
  • A cooling rack – small option – large option

  • Prep like a chef, have it all ready to cook before cooking anything
  • Separate veggies based on cooking time
  • Clean as you go, do a basic clean at the end, do a full clean when done eating
  • Use high quality fats, no canola garbage oils, use high temp fats no matter how you feel about seed oils
  • When I still use a good quality oil like say olive oil
  • When spending time with friends cook in course and make things take time
  • Always empty your grease trap when done, avoid “Schrödinger’s Grease Trap”, check while cooking
