Big Breakfast on the New Weber Griddle (Head Turner)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 мар 2023
- Today in this Big Breakfast on the New Weber Griddle video, we’re continuing on to put the new Weber griddle through its paces. Why do I like to cook a giant breakfast with bacon, sausage, hash browns, pancakes, and eggs on my new griddles? There’s a few reasons why big breakfasts are great to cook on your new griddle:
- Cooking foods like hash browns and pancakes really helps you to see where the “hot spots” are on your griddle. Because these foods cook on one side for a while, they have time to turn golden brown, and when you flip them to the second side, you can clearly see what areas of the pancakes or hash browns are darker in color. Those darker spots are where your griddle has hotter cooking zones.
- Some people swear up and down that cooking bacon and sausage on your griddle is good for the seasoning.
This big breakfast on the Weber griddle turned out great! And I definitely learned some more things about the cooking temperatures on the Weber griddle. Watch to find out how it’s going as I get more and more experience with the new Weber griddle!

The heat distribution is impeccable....
Amy is right, those pancakes were as evenly cooked as could be! Very impressive performance makes it easier to get past some of the aesthetics you aren't as fond of with this griddle👍😊
spot on Bobbi...amazing how it responds....
I just came across this video in 2024 June. I’m actually looking at getting one of the new slate griddles. Now I really want one of the griddles. I’m glad Father’s Day is just around the corner.
Now that's breakfast!! Love your serving board!
Thanks Jarret...
Love the channel good sir!! Keep them coming.
Thanks! Will do!
Great video; just got this same flat top and so excited to try it. I love all the tips and insight you give. 🤙🏼
Awesome..thanks Jason...
That's a phenomenal breakfast!! Cooked perfectly on the new griddle, Dude. 👌👌
Thanks Rob...we had a blast and really impressed
Awesome breakfast. Thanks for this video
Our pleasure!
Glad you like the new griddle. I am a retailer in Ohio that sells them. In regards to the warping question, on the underside of the rolled steel it is reinforced with angle iron to prevent any warping, that is how you can preheat on high!
I completely agree...the Blackstone has them exactly the same way and they are warping as well...Maybe the distance from the flame...not sure..will be interesting
Awesome cook and i love that board you put the food on
Thanks Gary...
Awesome cook Neal ! Looking good as always, and the journey continues for the Weber. Cheers 🍻
That's the plan!
Pretty dang good, and dang even. With a whole bunch of colour there. Yippee ay oh!
Yeah its becoming one of my top choices...
Great video Neal! I’m a true Weber fan as well. Everything looked spot on! I thought I saw a tear of happiness there at the end! Keep rockin brother! Appreciate you and Amy!
Glad you enjoyed it! Haahahahah yeah just surprised..Just thinking if they update the griddle how great it could be...
That was the best grill breakfast cooking demo that I have seen. You did a fantastic job controlling the heat and nailed the cooking on everything. Thanks so much for sharing this video with us. Keep up the great videos and camera work and sharing the fun you both have working together. Fred.
Hey thanks so much Fred....really appreciate it
Looks so good!!!!
Thanks Sonny
Weber has been know to enter the market at the high end and this time they are entering at the mid range with quality and more importantly performance and knowing Weber they aren’t done! Can’t wait to see the 36” version and what they do next season!
Absolutely good comment...spot on
you killed it dude ! fantastic review and cook !!
Thanks Darren...really fun and fantastic results
I'm glad it cooked so well, every gas device I've had with 1/2 turn knobs has worked well. That's why I got excited when I saw them on the unboxing video.
Well it was a shock but then not really like ya say...1/2 turns were literally changing temps
Looks amazing. Glad you love the grill. I work at Weber and run supply planning for them 😊
That is awesome! I have said many many times though comments..and on my channel that i have really loved this griddle...its truly a fun griddle..I would love to beef it up....but for the %75 of people its absolutely fantastic...
Watched this on my new laptop. That’s one HUGE breakfast bud! Impressed with the temp control on that Weber. Pancakes looked awesome! Nicely done Neal!
thanks Jay...
Great job on your cook! Really enjoy you guys a lot. Love your content and video style.
Thanks so much!
Great video as always 🙂 Living in UK griddles are so difficult to get hold of!!! I'm a big Weber fan and use them in all weathers... I'm following your cooks on the new weber... keep up the good work 🙂
Glad you like them bud...so far very impressed
What a great review.
Thank You...
Seems to get better with each use.... patience and proper skills....looks like it would be a nice griddle....👍
Thanks Clint...absolutely
Wow...that's a breakfast to feed an army! Hope you're hungry 😀 Nice cook on everything...looks like that griddle is going to be a keeper for you.
Yeah.....absolutely...should have a place somewhere
That’s a huge breakfast Neal. But looks very delicious and I could also handle a bit of everything in the menu. Griddle worked perfectly this time around. Loos well balanced and everything was cooked evenly. Get job and a big applause for wife for alerting you with the vegetables for the omelette. Looking forward for your next video.
thanks Robert...definitely a good breakfast...
So relieved with this video. Huge Weber fan. Could care less about the looks of it. Temperature control is on top of my list when it comes to my flat top. Time to upgrade my 22 inch Blackstone. Great video! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it...like I said....no way you cant look at the results and not be impressed
The thing is like Tin foil. Watch other videos. Weber is trash now
Those pancakes look great man! What a breakfast!
haha thanks bud
That is what I would make if out of town guests spend the night, an excellent opportunity to showcase your skill. Good cook.
Thanks Alan...
Outstanding again. All of you guys that griddle on RUclips just blow my old simple mind. Love watching your expertise on the flattop. The U.S. Navy lost one heck of a cooking genius. Griddle on guys. More of Amy’s griddleing lessons
Thanks so much...we will try...she like filming..hahaha
Great video! Glad to see that despite it not winning any beauty or innovation competitions.
It’s just a griddle that does what it’s supposed to do in its basic form. I pulled the trigger on it. I was going to get the Traeger but the Price is steeep
Completely understand....its a good one for sure
Looks great I have yet to master eggs but I just got my Blackstone 2 weeks ago I’m amazed at how yours turn out I’ll keep working on it!
Thanks Larry we have a great video available called How to Cook Omelettes for Beginners on the Griddle
Now I’m starving and you’ve convinced me to do breakfast for supper this weekend. Impressive griddle!
Heck yea...hook it up load it down
Love breakfast for dinner!
Yep, that's even temps unlike any other griddle I've seen. Gotta luvit.
so far so good....for sure...
Just seasoned my new Weber. Breakfast tomorrow!
Awesome
I could tell the last video you weren’t done the review. You have sold me in this! Heat control is everything 👍
Hope you like it!...definitely has incredible upside
Number one thing I have to say is that your egg cookery is about as amazing your sandwiches!!! Omelet and fried eggs were perfect dude!!!
thanks Paul...it definitely helps when the griddle can respond to temps...
Awesome Cook Neal. I Love that Amy Helen Kellered the pancakes while you were still cooking. 😂
ahhahahahaha
Just did my 1st cook (breakfast) on our webber at the lake. Loved the performance of it. I have a big family so I cook big meals. I was worried the 28inch was going to be too small but so far so good. It was between this and the 36inch blackstone but your review sold me on webber. It is a great addition for me and the wife to use 😊 ... but if webber does release a 4 burner 36inch of the same quality i will most likely upgrade.
That is awesome!....Spoiler....they have...so far same low heat and the ones who have bought it.....LOVE IT.....
Comment of the day! “…I guess that’s what my wife says about me!” 😂 I’ve never tried making an omelette on the griddle, you make it look so easy!
Hey we have a fantastic video for the omelets...just look me up and search for How to make an omelette for beginners...its how we made them in the Navy
Looks like you didn't waste your money! You've conquered the season and heat. Awesome breakfast cook.
Thanks bud
As a newbie to griddle cooking and a Weber lover for years, I think I am looking at the Weber griddle.
You will love it...
Yes, yes, looks a blinding brekkie👍👍👍😎🏴
Damn that looks good!
TY
Huge weber grill guy here. I currently own 4 kettles, a smoker, and a portable propane grill, all Webers. Im so glad to see that weber built a great performing griddle. Im a function before fashion type of guy. Im glad to see Weber put emphasis on function. Great video. Thanks
Thanks bud...so quickly...its been fantastic still to cook on...really have enjoyed it...
@@TheFlatTopKing subbed
Excellent vid man. You sold me
Yes....absolutely...great unit for sure
@@TheFlatTopKing not been released in uk yet 😓
Great video. I’m glad it’s performing well 😅
Thank Kelly....ahahahhaha
I feel like I mess around too much and when I make a big breakfast like this it takes far longer than I should. You make it look easy...and delicious. Hopefully Weber will heed your advice and make the grill look like it cooks.
Hey i appreciate that...it just takes time...you will get there sooner than ya think...
You’re correct on placing so much emphasis on even heating and the ability to go from a hot griddle BACKWARDS to cook eggs and pancakes. Most griddles in my experience are on their way to 500f no matter what you do.
Absolutely...spot on...
Awesome. I want one now lol.
Absolutely
Color me impressed.
Yes...absolutely
Looks great. Griddle full of pig. Got to love it. Keep up the great work. GBO.
Thanks! Will do! GBO...tuff lose on Zakai Zeigler
I like the look of the Weber…..all the stainless it gets hot and glare from the sun. They still rust and the coating on those shelves I’m sure helps with heat and rust reduction. I like durability over fashion.
Thanks!
You bet! I appreciate that...thanks so much
Well done, brother, well done! Weberguyhere as well. I have a Makers Mark, no wait 😎, Member's Mark griddle but probably would have bought a Webers if I had waited.
so far its definitely been a head turner...just wish it had more to the eye and some bells and whistles so to speak
Okay, been watching your Weber videos. Just like you I was worried when you did your burger, and agreed with the "cheap" look for a Weber. But after your initial egg cook and now this one I am sold! Awesome job! And even better I am a Team Lead at Target and we just got them in, so I get 15% off! Win win! Thanks for the excellent video.....(and kudos to you about the brown eggs, my dad owned a diner and I was a short order cook in my teens) brown omelets and eggs were a NO go!
Frank I wll keep this short...absolutely not kidding...I am a bread vendor and deliver to Target..the dang Weber Griddle Box was just delivered and I had to step around it to get through in the back stock room...so I called Amy and told her "you will never guess" and then it wasn't moved by the time I was ready to work...I swear I thought it was an omen...so we bought it and as they say the rest is history
I literally bought it that day and put it in my trailer ahahahhahaha
@@TheFlatTopKing I work at one of the busiest stores in Massachusetts, it's mindboggling how much inventory we get in. I feel bad for vendors that have to navigate that back room!
What a feast! Let us know the next time you're making breakfast so we can head over 😉
Also WOW do those pancakes look good 🤤
I knew this would be a great review! Can’t wait to buy mine this spring in Canada
Breakfast was awesome...you guys nailed the temp control that griddles have been missing....
I ordered one last night based off of this review. Even cooking and temp control were at the top of my list and this review sold me on that.
Your nearly at 100 K my man👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎🏴
Getting close...we need some love from over your way...
Im always on your side Bro👍👍👍😎🏴
That breakfast looks king bud
Thanks Graham...really surprising for sure
You make an amazing omelet, sir. Wow.
ty
I've been looking to add a griddle and was set on a Blackstone 28xl. I was a little wary of the new Weber, since there was little info due to them being new to the griddle game.
I think this video has just sold me on the Weber...plus it'll fit in with my Weber grill.
Hey I have used it alot since this video has posted and I have to be honest...its great...is it the best..nope..its light and has zero accessories...but its easy to cook on and absolutely great addition
Which would you say is the best in the 36” class.
Never owned a griddle or cooked on one. Saw your previous Burger video and I was put off on the Weber. Glad I watched this video. When is Father's Day? Lol
hahaha Coming soon...we are doing others soon...i also have a really good Pros and Cons buying a flat top grill and a separate video called 8 things to consider before buying a griddle....plus I have a another one coming soon...alot of information to go though...
What are your thoughts on the new Weber slate and if you plan on getting your hands on one?? Keep up the amazing content
After seeing your first video and now this one on the Weber, it may look like a toy but it cooks like a race car.
The old saying is beauty is as beauty does. Take performance over looks any day
Absolutely...i still cant look at it on my deck without thinking what could have been..ahahaa
@@TheFlatTopKing well, perhaps you can take it apart and send the frame and table wings out to be custom porcelain coated. Maybe a gradient scheme moving from black into a dark red (I refer to such a pattern as "black cherry").
Make it up the way you want it to be.
I was hoping you would hate it. Now I might buy this thing. Have always loved Weber's products.
ahhaahhah Man its hard not to hate it...im just so upset about the look....Please update it Weber...ALL Black better wheels and some industrial style edges. Maybe red weber logo for color pop...
All I can say is YOU DA MAN NEAL!!!
ahhaha Thanks bud...
Good cookin when you talk about your muffin pancakes, NONE better. Then there is your decadent cinnamon roll pancake, ohhh. Love the taters on the griddle. Just a feast being prepared on the griddle.
Thanks bud...
I’ve been waiting for this video. I’m a Weber fan as well. It would seem that the lack of bells and whistles is very secondary to the even heat distribution. The color of those pancakes was so even…remarkable!! I have a Blackstone two burner 28”. I did zero research on griddles and soon learned that three heat zones would be much preferred. One thing…how did the frozen hash brown turn out having first been thawed. Thx for a very informative vid. I can look at the Weber flattop with a lot more confidence now.
Great comment Sandy...yeah the hash browns were way better than frozen...no way I would not thaw again...thats the ticket..
Dang I wish I had one of these. Tho I do love my camp chef.
NO doubt...its a hard decision for sure...someone one day will get all the correct components and make the mother load of a griddle...might cost more but..
Looking to buy a griddle, I lost count of how many of your videos I’ve watched. I think this video sold me on the Webber. Didn’t like how the Smash Burgers in the other video were welded to the surface, but I’m sure with time that wouldn’t happen. Everything here looked flawless.
Gonna have to pick up your seasonings too. I have a shelf full of a bunch of brands but you can’t have too many seasonings.
And I think you’re right on it looking kind of cheap. Webber should pay attention to you and make a premium looking model with the innards from this. I would 100% pay an additional $150 for something nicer looking.
100 agree;...for what its worth...its been a while since this video has posted and I still stand behind what I said....and its still me 2nd favorite....
You have almost sold me. I hate the way it looks but the proof is in the cooking! So Weber is a contender. When you buying a Flatrock? The burner setup on the Flatrock has me intrigued.
soon
Edge to edge consistent temperature is great! Can I come for breakfast next time?
Absolutely
Wow, compared to the 1st cook, it's almost like this is not even the same griddle. Night and day performance. I'm still with you on the looks though, I would like to see a "Summit" high end version at some point. Looks like Weber got it more right than we gave them credit for initially. Which is a good thing. Reminds me of a WSM, it takes a few cooks to get the coating on the interior and it settles down (cooks hot at first, but rock solid afterwards).
Absolutely spot on...couldn’t agree more...hope they put it together and BAM....
Like always it looks fantastic!!!! Quick question... Where did you get that serving board?? I need a large one like that!
hahaha funny you mention that...we bought a house to flip and it was a present from our realtor
Thanks for answering!!! I found one on Amazon that looks very similar. Imma give it a try! Seriously love your videos, I’ve used them so many times. Thanks for all of the great ideas and advice. Keep it up!!
Another great cooking video as always. I wish I would have watch all your videos before I seasoned mine because I warped it 😔
Call the manufacturer and ask if they will send you a new cooktop.
What brand and can you walk me though your process and what happened...knowledge is power
@@TheFlatTopKing Blackstone 28" Pro Series
I seasoned it 4 times on HIGH heat, allowing the smoke to dissipate each time.
Now I wanna buy one!!! Have you seen the new flat top by Traeger??
Not yet...but I will
Amazing how even that griddle cooks! Can you see anything different in the design that might explain why it does a better job? Is the space between the griddle and the burners different, or did they make the cooking surface out of something a little different, or what? Any ideas? Thanks so much for sharing your experience!
The two biggest things I’ve noticed is that it’s a three burner 28”. Most other 28’s are two burner. So that likely contributes to it. The other is that the griddle top, cooking surface, is carbon steel rather than cast iron. So it’s much more conductive, reactive and responsive.
Perfectly said...
Awesome!! What brand spatulas do you have and where did you get them?
Hey Floyd....we have the links listed below...the brand should be New Star
Ima try them pancakes. My kids wouldn't eat those because they would say that they are burnt but that's the way i like mine.
Hey the good thing is you can substitute any flavor of pancake mix as well
On my Pit Boss 5 burner, even at the absolute lowest setting it will go, it will get up to at least 450 if I let it. I haven't tried to see how hot it actually gets if I let it go higher than that. Had a weird issue the other night where it wouldn't go above 300, like the regulator wouldn't let it get gas. I thought I was running out of propane, but I picked up the tank and it seemed about full. So I turned the whole thing off, shut the tank, then reopened the tank and reignited all the burners, then it acted exactly the way it always does.
I have had that happen as well...it used to happen on my Camp Chef....
interesting that weber and traeger haved jumped on the flat tup bandwagon. cool (i guess). for the rest of us i say just learn to use what you have. my arsenal contains old school blackstone, ancient weber kettle, ancient vermont castings grill and a cheap ass vertical smoker. when any or all get fired up all the neighbors show up . good food, good people, good times possibly influenced by a few good adult beverages. cheers.
it's all about people,food and fun.
Where in the world is my invite....sounds like my kind of party..
I see what you meant now Brotha about what you told me! I salute you Sir, outstanding cook and those eggs were cooked to perfection in my opinion!! That’s exactly my cup-o-tea ✊🏼🧐. My oldest son and I are planning a similar big breakfast/brunch this Sunday @ my in-laws for them & all the family’s kids and grown kids 😬. This episode gives me more confidence now, lol hopefully we can pull it off.
I hope Amy is feeling better, and super dope episode Y’all….Cheers 👊🏼😎🤙🏼
You got this...easy peasy....I appreciate ya brother...
@@TheFlatTopKing right back @ ya 😉🤙🏼🫡
Awesome breakfast 👍 Love your vids.
Compared to the Pitboss griddle, which one do you prefer?
I have a Pitboss Navigator smoker and I´m happy with it so far. But I´m also a weber fanboy.
Can´t really decide. Sadly the weber griddle is not available in Germany right know, but I heard they planning a release in Europe next season.
Worth the wait ? :)
Well thats a long time for me..but the pit keep clean sell it and buy the weber..dont wait for sure...or if you end up liking the pit keep it..
@@TheFlatTopKing so basically you like the weber more? I could wait a season...not thaaat big need for the griddle. It is just a "nice to have" addition for me.
That was an amazing cook. The Weber performed much better than I expected.
Yes absolutely..crazy to think
So what were your thoughts on the Members Mark? Thats what I have, and I LOVE it. Way nicer than the Blackstone it replaced.
Well thats a lot to type...quickly...its good for the price...sturdy but thin...and has the same problems as most...uneven and hot...BUT the price is undeniable...
I too was upset with the aesthetic of this cooker but then i stopped thought 95% of the time it will be under a cover as i live in a coastal area, if i dress it up with utensils on the hooks and a crate underneath, functionality wins! Great vid 👍🏻
Albany Australia
👊🍻
go Navy!
Absolutely
How does wind effect cooking on griddles. I live in a sometime very windy area and am curious. Thx - very informative channel.
It absolutely affects it...some come with wind guards some do not...you can buy aftermarket ones as well
did i miss it...? what was the temp in the center "range" when you dropped the eggs over easy? TIA for the response and awesome vids!
Low 300s...and dropping...probably ended up at high 200s
I’d be interested in what you thought of the Members mark. I bought one two years ago. Basically I’ve had two $100 plates of fajitas since.😊
hahaahahahahaha .....
I wanna see you cook on the members mark griddle!!!!!!
I will have to hit my friend up for sure
@@TheFlatTopKing I own one that’s why. I wanna see you cook on a poor man’s griddle lol
What a redemption!
Absolutely...Very surprising...but not surprising.... Thanks
I just recently started cooking on a lower temperature like you said. I didn't realize how hot that these things would get on low. So I appreciate the information. I've been doing smash burgers for quite a while and they always turn out good but I always have my burners turned closer to high so I was just curious. I do have a thermometer. Do you have a certain temperature that you think works best to get that good sear on a smash burger? I could start my grill out on a lower temperature and then slowly move it up to get it to the temperature I need instead of just blasting it on high
If you put me against the well I would say around 450ish...just so hard to know because like you said it gets so hot...maybe I will playaround more...
@@TheFlatTopKing yeah I know that you've cooked on these things for a long time and I know you check your temperatures. I was just curious if there's a certain temperature you like to hover around. Honestly, I just recently in the past couple weeks bought a thermometer for the flat top. So I would just turn the burners on and whenever the oil will get smokey that's when I would put my burgers down. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I noticed that you respond to pretty much everybody that comments. And it looks like you're well on your way to probably at some point having a million subs. And at some point I'm sure it's going to become very difficult to respond to everybody. I understand that would be a struggle but I do appreciate it
Are you going to test out the traeger flat rock? I debating that vs the Weber.
Yes
What do you think of flaxseed oil for initial seasoning? It has a low smoke point, but it's essentially food grade linseed oil. The polymerization is allegedly much tougher, and Cooks Illustrated ran a cast iron pan through a commercial dishwasher with degreaser without issue.
without getting to technically there is only one flaxseed oil that is worth a darn...i think it aslo flakes faster...the other flaxseed oils are mixes and get commonly mistaken...so the original one may hold marrait...I prefer grapeseed or avocado...that being said I honestly have not done a scientific experiment or have the correct knowledge about the whole thing...
I think it was mentioned that the proof of this newest offering by Weber was the form follows function concept of how it would cook (the obvious reason for it’s existence). As a longtime Weber fan, I am heartened that you are pleased with it’s performance with regard to even heating and temperature control.
My dad always reminded me to buy the proper quality tool the first time or I would be buying it again. Now, will the Weber’s price point allow reasonable justification to follow that principle…i.e. SnapOn vs another brand of acceptable enduring quality?
Edit: Just saw a review of the Traeger Flatrock. Impressive unit, but so is the price. $800.
will be interesting to see the difference in the 2....
@@TheFlatTopKing For apparent build quality, I would give the trophy to Traeger.
Traeger blew it when they put handles on the griddle plate food will get everywhere on the outside of the griddle.
@@bradhelfrich6602 Yeah, that was an oversight.
@TheFlatTopKing Where can I get one of those hats? I checked the website and only found shirts and a hoodie. Love the videos. Thanks!
Hey thanks Chris...they are being produced now...maybe available mid April...the ones I wear were bought at full price to try out and no way I could charge after the full price plus...but trust me...reach back out...
@@TheFlatTopKing Thanks, I will certainly reach out again.
Weber is also releasing full size griddle insert for Spirit and Genesis models; is that something you will review? It would be interesting to see how they perform compared to stand alone griddles.
i dont think so...I dont have a spirit or genesis...I also bought the Weber with my money so I dont know about buying that set up...but it definitely will be interesting
any chance of seeing the chargriller premium griddle on the channel? Menards carries it (probably other places too) and it seems like a great unit for the price but I'd be curious to see how it compares.
I have not but...never say never...im running out of space again...
Glad to see a turn around on this Webber. I have a question. Have you ever actually measured the thickness of any of the griddles? Something about the sound of your spatulas on the griddle makes me think they are thinner then the other brands. And although that would ordinarily not be considered a good thing, perhaps not here. You were very happy about the response times of the griddle cooling down when you turned the burner down. This would be the case with thinner metal. If you don't already have a device to measure the thickness of steel go to Harbour Freight and get one please to measure this. This could solve a interesting question on this subject. And perhaps discover if what the manufacturers are telling us about their products are in fact correct. Sir enjoy your day. Oh one more thing. For me my main interest in flat tops are big breakfasts. If that's all I ever do on them, I'm OK with that. I have grills, smokers etc up the you know what and I love all of them for what they do best. I'm actually considering building a traditional brick wood fired baking oven this coming summer for pizza and other baking ( think wonderful Artisan breads, yum) so this is the kind of cook you did today that I very much enjoy seeing. May peace be with you and your family.
Thats a huge goal of mine in the future...I absolutely LOVE wood fired ovens and the ability to cook many things in there..seafood...vegetables....the breads of course..on day Victor one day
