hahaha I absolutely love when your wife corrects you from behind the camera! It's hilarious!! Just bought my first flattop and have been watching your videos! Keep it up!
This is how all cuts burn with different seasonings. You had the griddle on too high from the start. Its cooking 101. not just griddle cooking. It definitely taught me how hot these get. You are 100% right about never turning the heat up all the way. Thanks! I learned a lot
My number one reason for beginners is get a back grease trap griddle, you won't have to go Through That kind of a mess in front of you. There's no mess. And those other tips he gave you were spot on😊
Turn griddle on first. Pre-heat on 300 F low so that griddle does not bend.Make eggs and bacon and get comfortable with settings. Make hotdogs or hamburgers first. Dry Chicken salted on the sides, baste in BBQ sauce later. Any marinade creates a cleaning issue. Sauce cools down the heat. TIPS and TRICKS. RIGHT SIDE is hotter ? KNOW your ZONES before you cook for company.
45 years ago the place I worked the cook would, between doing burgers and bacon would pour a little bit of seltzer water or club soda on the grill to clean it between cooking and then also at the end of the night, that is what she used to clean off the crud and then in the morning before she would start cooking she always sprinkled the grill down with salt lightly!! She had the most beautiful griddle!! 👍🏼😂😁
Dude you awesome. My wife and I just got our first Flat Top Grill and we're so excited. I can't appreciate enough the details and the practical information that you have given in this video!!!! Dude you are awesome!! Thank you for your hard work I thank the misses too for filming this video.
Literally, you're the only reason behind me buying my first flat-top griddle next week. I used to be focused only on pallets and kettles smokers when it comes to preparing food, not anymore because of the brilliant work you keep doing in this channel. Appreciate every info, and keep it up dude!
I have watched many of your videos now and as a result, pulled the trigger on a Blackstone. I fought this as my last miracle device was an expensive Traeger which has been disappointing at best. Moving on, after trying Freddy's Steakburgers and finding the best burger I ever tasted, but living very rural, 4 hours away with poor restaurants, I purchased the Blackstone in town from Costco for $369. My first use was breakfast with mixed results, poor on hash browns, but excellent for scrambled eggs/bacon. As you say in many videos, it helped me learn the zones on my griddle which is helpful to move food across the griddle accordingly. And just like normal cooking, it is about trying different things until you nail it. In that regard I have found this griddle to be of great potential and excited. This was emphasized when my very first attempt at Smashburgers was shockingly successful, with my wife stating it was the best homemade burger she has ever eaten, and I will say the best I have had outside of Freddy's. Still excellent and far surpassed any burger I have done in 30 years on the grill, stove or Traeger. In short, it just justified the purchase of this Blackstone. Your videos helped immensely in timing of what to cook first, but also every aspect of cooking the smashburger itself. I bought a stainless 6" round burger press vs. the rectangular one you use and it is heavy and allows great control. My wife was talking to me when I was cooking the very 1st smashburger, and I thought I overcooked it after I turned it. But your instruction in using the spatula angled to cut it off is a game changer allowing great control, even at different sides is what allows success and once I turned it, I realized it was probably Ok, so I kept it for myself and it was perfect. The aspect I love about these smashburgers is the crispy edges, but also having this texture across the surface. My wife was surprised at the full taste, and I gave her your explanation of now with having 2 patties you have double the surface area for this Maillard reaction and juices. I still think I can improve as I like the edges a little crispier, and I think I did over pack the meatball slightly, but was shocked that my first smashburger was an incredible success. Now maybe I can do 2 burgers at once, but not worried since these are so quick and I pop it over to warm while other burgers cook. I also struggled with griddle size given price and that my kids are 17 & 19 and with sports/school, mostly just my wife and I for dinner now. I found I could get a Blackstone 22" griddle with mandated steel cover for $350 on Amazon, but found a 36" at Costco. I thought the 36" was exceedingly large/overkill which is why I also considered the 22". Even with a couple uses under the belt I believe the smaller griddle would have been a mistake, even cooking for 2. Per your point on getting to know your zones, I found that 4 zones and a 36" griddle allows excellent control. I have found that after preheating all zones on low, then turning off the 1st zone on the left allows me to use it as a warming zone, with the middle 2 zones for high heat cooking, and the last zone used for lower heat cooking like sauteing vegetables, or slower meats like bacon. The temps of my Costco griddle vary so I can use front/right side while these 3 zones are on low, even manipulate the middle 2 zones as meat cools the griddle. It works perfectly, where I can imagine having less zones, especially 2 on the 22" model far more difficult, where you are now dealing with the different items you are cooking either have to be removed and cold, or left on to overcook. So, I will say the 36" with 4 zones allows much more control and a better result without frustration of cooling, burning, but also crowding the griddle. You can cook multiple items at the same time, often without cross contaminating if that is an issue. In the end I am happy I purchased the 36" model, and excited this will be another win/heavily used product like my Paragon Theater Pop 6 popcorn maker that is irreplaceable. Anyway, thank you for all your tips, I did subscribe which I never do...
Well I truly appreciate that comment...Seems like you have found your griddle match..hahaha Burgers are turning out great and nothing but better from here...I completely agree...4 burner the whole way....cheers and thanks for the sub....
I actually won my first flattop grill from my job ( a 2 burner Blackstone at that!) and I happen to stumble onto your videos and this is a huge help thanks 😊👍👍
@@TheFlatTopKing My Walmart had a 4 burner with hard cover on sale for $229. But I had to push my Romanian SAR-2 back again. 😣 Edit: English was never my friend that's why I joined the Corps
I have one of those internal thermometers. I just cooked 5 chicken breasts and 4 of them were over 160 degrees, but the fifth one was only 120 degrees. I definitely agree that it’s important to check all pieces!
I've been wanting a 36 inch Blackstone griddle for a while. Your instructions are clear, concise, and very useful. Closer to the time when I get my griddle, I'll thoroughly review all your videos. Really enjoy your channel
Thank you for your videos. I just bought my first flat top griddle last night, so I have a lot to learn. Your videos are definitely putting me at ease. Now I am going to start watching your ENTIRE library. Be Blessed
Sugar starts to burn around 300-325 degrees. I used to do a ton of cooking on smokers doing BBQ. I have wanted a flat top griddle for a while. Instead of building my own I bought a pit boss 2 burner after catching it on sale. I don’t do the big cooks anymore so I’m going to use the griddle for breakfast mainly. Mostly for the family. Anyone familiar with cooking in cast iron shouldn’t have a problem with seasoning a flat top. Love your videos and Thank You for your service!
Thanks for sharing....I absolutely love the bbq combination with a griddle...low and slow and mix that with the griddle world...i think its a world like no other...
Dude, what a thorough video! I have been grilling for over 20yrs, and there are many things that youve mentioned that took me years to figure out, and even so somethings I hadnt even considered (today years old, lol). Really appreciate your delivery and thoughts.
Im refurbishing my Weber spirit grill. I bought some replacement parts to install myself and also a griddle insert. I hope the insert works! This video is helpful for when I cook my first meal on it. Thank you!
Thanks for making a video with flat top beginners in mind!! This was very helpful & good to know it’s ok if my flat top has some food marks on the surface even after just a couple times cooking. Great down to earth presentation & practical tips!
Great tips thanks so much. I've learned alot from the few videos of yours that I've already watch. I plan to watch alot more. Keep up the good work. Yall are great. Also my family and I thank you for your service to our country.
I’ve only used my griddle twice. A whole lot more work to clean up than my Weber gas grill with a cast iron grate which I have well seasoned. I’m reluctant to dirty up the griddle now when I love cooking on my grill. Thanks for the videos. Hopefully you will show something that inspires me to try again. 👍
I have watched enough of your videos on how to use the griddle, season it and so on. I feel I have become quite the cook on the griddle thanks to you and I don't even own one. However, that changes today as I pick up my new Blackstone 36". Looking forward to cleaning and seasoning it for the first time, then toss an egg on there to see if I followed your directions. Wish me luck. Keep making videos.
when I clean and reseason my griddle I use tongs with the paper towel I use, it keeps my hands away from any splatter and or excess heat from my griddle. It can be a little tricky to get use to but in the end I find it worth it, keeps my digits safe :)
Just got my new 3-burner Char-Griller flattop. Really impressed with the quality. Was born a hillbilly in Eastern Tennessee, Johnson City. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks to Amy for doing the videos and keeping you straight. 👍🤗
Thank you for your video. I just bought my first Blackstone griddle the other day at a rummage sale at a really good price. Looks new I have no idea how to use it properly. Thanks to you I just learned a ton of information and a whole bunch more to go.
I didnt know Pit Boss made porcelain tops...If you are asking about the Ceramic tops from the Ultimate Model we have tons of videos...maintenance, tips, and how mine messed up...But if its not a ceramic model...I just didnt know that...
Just found your channel and it's great.... I've cooked on mine for years and have learned some new things from you most especially the hash brown casserole crispy hash browns!!! Keep on keepin' on and from one old Vet to another, thank you for service!!!!
Very good video. We've owned our Blackstone for many years, and never use it because it's intimidating to use. This video really helped alot ! One question tho...how do you clean the inside top of the lid?
My brother just bought me a griddle. Im just this year at, 52, perfecting my steak grilling, ribrub and smoking, and general charcoal cooking practices with different meats and veggies. Now I feel like I'm being sent back to kinnygarden chemistry and engineering class to learn how to use this new apparatus/method. Great vid and Info! Greta and the climate cabal may not approve...
@@TheFlatTopKing It's a smaller 23" I use when just doing something for me and the bride. As you can see from the knobs it's got three burners, 8500btu each. As I mentioned to Amy it's no longer available on Amazon, but I also gave her a second response that had an Amazon link and some specs.
Thanks for the tips. I just bought a griddle but I bought, the steelmade indoor version for over my gas stove. I know that isn't as high speed as the stuff a lot of you are using, but I've been going through a lot of your videos for tips and plus recipe ideas. You've given me a ton of ideas right off rip, so thank you for the that. I figure an indoor version vs an outdoor version will have some variation, but I think a lot of what you are showing us applies to some degree or other, so again thank you for that!
So glad I found your channel! I just got my brand new Camp Chef flat top grill and I'm a total noob at cooking. Haha Thank you so much for such a detailed video!
I bought my blackstone flat grill at a garage sale for a steal of a deal. I mainly use it at our deer camp to make breakfast especially for the kids. I’m still learning the grill and watching your videos daily. It’s so much fun. I’m addicted to this thing lol. The hunting season is over unfortunately so it’s back home for me to practice all summer. I purchased a digital thermometer yesterday. Here in south Louisiana we look for every excuse to cook, like Mardi Gras in 2 weeks. Keep up the great videos man, I truly enjoy them.
Just now saw this. You keep it simple for a simple minded person. I saw some of other cooks you have done. I’m wondering if you are going to put out cook book.
Welcome to the family. That is on our list. Actually its on top but I struggled to find time with my full time job and family plus still creating content. Thanks for commenting
Thank you for your vids. I just won a 4 burner blackstone from work and now I feel at ease trying to cook on this huge griddle. Your da king and thanks again.
THIS GUY IS AMAZING !. HE IS VERY PRECISE. AND POLITE. AND PROFESSIONAL ! SIR WATCHING ALL YOU DO IS A PRIVILEGE TO LEARN FROM YOU. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR ALL YOU DO TO SHOW AND TEACH US AS NEW BEGINNERS TO HELP US GROW THANK YOU SIR !. BEST REGARDS. HONORED WW2 GRANDSON
Thanks so much for posting this video. I learned a TON! My gas grill is on it's last legs and I have a dedicated smoker. So I'm really considering buying a griddle to replace my gas grill. I know there are things to consider but based on what we like to grill I think a griddle would be perfect and then some. But I wanted to see what I might be getting into first and this video is perfect. Thanks again!
Just got my first grill ever (sad cause I’m 29). But I’ve been in the military and constantly moving so haven’t had one. Anyways, I love your videos, I’m about to go season mine. I’ve already learned a lot from your videos, just today from watching. Appreciate the educational content!!
Thank you for this video I've got a flat top that Is still got to be put together but I got a lot more videos of yours to get caught up on toproperly take care of it!!! Thank you again have a great day!!!
I am glad o found this video I have a Blackstone griddle and used it for the first time. It was easy to clean up I made Chicken quesadillas and the chicken started sticking so we had to add a little oil cleanup was good I want to try some steaks but I'm kind of scared to. I might try bacon and eggs. Thanks for the tip heating a l griddle on low will definitely do that
What you're calling carnalized sugar (proteins and sugars), is called "fond", created by the maillard reaction, and is where a lot of the flavor comes from. especially for souses. This is what your picking up when deglazing a pan. If you don't use it, you can remove it easily by adding water to the cooking surface - comes right up.
I'm your newest sub! Just snatched a 36 Blackstone on the cheap! I'm in the process of scraping and re-seasoning. I like your presentation and your 411 for the beginner! Thank You!
This is a great video for people that are new to this style of cooking. I have had a flat top for two years, but watched your video today and thought you have some great ideas. Thanks!
Researching flat tops I have never used one or seen one used. I love your videos! So helpful! Giving me confidence to give this a try. I had a bad experience with a gas grill. Grill and propane tank caught fire scared me to death thank goodness I had a fire extinguisher and have never used a gas grill again. But I really want a flat top so guess I will give it another try. Thank you it is 2022 do you still do videos?
When you moved that piece at 7:00 I was shocked at the temp difference! 😲Thanks for explaining that! BTW never use thighs if you make chicken parm. Trust me, it’s horrible. 😱
used mine last night am i suppose to put tarp cover over it with hardtop cover also when i cook next time do i heat with oil i left on it get it warm and wipe it down again with oil before i start cooking
Any cover should do....hard or soft....really both are not needed...but the soft helps with dirt and pollen..There should not be enough oil left over to wipe off before you cook the next day...you only need thin layers....the leftover oil is fine next time you cook

Thank you. This should be an adventure for us. We are both 77 years old.
Just bought a Blackstone for the hubby. We subscribed to your channel because you explain everything so clearly.
I have watched many of your videos now and as a result, pulled the trigger on a Blackstone. I fought this as my last miracle device was an expensive Traeger which has been disappointing at best. Moving on, after trying Freddy's Steakburgers and finding the best burger I ever tasted, but living very rural, 4 hours away with poor restaurants, I purchased the Blackstone in town from Costco for $369.
My first use was breakfast with mixed results, poor on hash browns, but excellent for scrambled eggs/bacon. As you say in many videos, it helped me learn the zones on my griddle which is helpful to move food across the griddle accordingly. And just like normal cooking, it is about trying different things until you nail it. In that regard I have found this griddle to be of great potential and excited.

I know that isn't as high speed as the stuff a lot of you are using, but I've been going through a lot of your videos for tips and plus recipe ideas. You've given me a ton of ideas right off rip, so thank you for the that. I figure an indoor version vs an outdoor version will have some variation, but I think a lot of what you are showing us applies to some degree or other, so again thank you for that!
Thanks Joe.....
Awesome video thinking of getting a flat top grill.
Excellent video...Thank you for the guidance, I am very new to flat top cooking...

I bought my blackstone flat grill at a garage sale for a steal of a deal. I mainly use it at our deer camp to make breakfast especially for the kids. I’m still learning the grill and watching your videos daily. It’s so much fun. I’m addicted to this thing lol. The hunting season is over unfortunately so it’s back home for me to practice all summer. I purchased a digital thermometer yesterday. Here in south Louisiana we look for every excuse to cook, like Mardi Gras in 2 weeks. Keep up the great videos man, I truly enjoy them.
Thanks Kevin. Love some Louisiana food and culture. Would be neat to be there for mardi gras and get to experience the food and atmosphere. Thanks
Just now saw this. You keep it simple for a simple minded person. I saw some of other cooks you have done. I’m wondering if you are going to put out cook book.
I’m a new scriber also

Thanks for the visit
Thanks so much for posting this video. I learned a TON! My gas grill is on it's last legs and I have a dedicated smoker. So I'm really considering buying a griddle to replace my gas grill. I know there are things to consider but based on what we like to grill I think a griddle would be perfect and then some. But I wanted to see what I might be getting into first and this video is perfect. Thanks again!
TY...maybe check out my Weber Gas Grill and Griddle Insert review....espresso if you like your gas grill...still today one of my favorites
Great video! Thanks for all the great info. Ready to start with some confidence.
Glad it was helpful!
I've learned a lot in this video thank you.

Question - I just got a built in Bull commercial grade flat top & the top is thick, heat on low?
Just got my first grill ever (sad cause I’m 29). But I’ve been in the military and constantly moving so haven’t had one. Anyways, I love your videos, I’m about to go season mine. I’ve already learned a lot from your videos, just today from watching. Appreciate the educational content!!
28” Blackstone, my wife’s parents are great! Lol
FIrst thanks for your service....been there and completely understand the moving...
The video I didn't know I needed to see! I am already a FB follower. Thanks for all of the info!
Hey I appreciate that...cheers
Very good, as always! Thank you
im new with this griddle rig i just got it last night i bought the 22 inches adventure ready it will be my first and last griddle unit until it breaks
its addictive...
Great demo. Let's eat!
I started using a flat top because I had to make a small kitchen in my studio apartment and it just made more sense than a conventional oven for me.
That is awesome!
Just got mine for Christmas. Thank you for all the great information.
Hope you enjoy it!
Awesome dude! Great video, excellent tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video I've got a flat top that Is still got to be put together but I got a lot more videos of yours to get caught up on toproperly take care of it!!! Thank you again have a great day!!!
Fantastic! Love the icon...
I am glad o found this video I have a Blackstone griddle and used it for the first time. It was easy to clean up I made Chicken quesadillas and the chicken started sticking so we had to add a little oil cleanup was good I want to try some steaks but I'm kind of scared to. I might try bacon and eggs. Thanks for the tip heating a l griddle on low will definitely do that
Glad it was helpful Kinda....we have all kind of videos for ya...if ya need help just let us know
What you're calling carnalized sugar (proteins and sugars), is called "fond", created by the maillard reaction, and is where a lot of the flavor comes from. especially for souses. This is what your picking up when deglazing a pan. If you don't use it, you can remove it easily by adding water to the cooking surface - comes right up.
I'm your newest sub! Just snatched a 36 Blackstone on the cheap! I'm in the process of scraping and re-seasoning. I like your presentation and your 411 for the beginner! Thank You!
Well thanks bud...really appreciate that..BY your name is that the Virginia Tidewater are
@@TheFlatTopKing N.C. I own a 1910 Tidewater, it's a great flats and bay boat. Bull reds are running!
@@BrassHammer got ya. I was stationed in Norfolk Va and tidewater was right down the water.
This is a great video for people that are new to this style of cooking. I have had a flat top for two years, but watched your video today and thought you have some great ideas. Thanks!
Thats my whole goal. Of course make great food but ultimately make something that inspires
GREAT video for us beginners!! BOOM.
Glad you liked it!
For me all to crispy. But im stuck on the frozen. Great video.
thank you. I laughed pretty hard at the first minute, because that us exactly what I did. love it. keep it up.

Researching flat tops I have never used one or seen one used. I love your videos! So helpful! Giving me confidence to give this a try. I had a bad experience with a gas grill. Grill and propane tank caught fire scared me to death thank goodness I had a fire extinguisher and have never used a gas grill again. But I really want a flat top so guess I will give it another try. Thank you it is 2022 do you still do videos?
Absolutely...try do post 2/3 times a week. Working on an epic griddle comparison video.
Keep your gas bottle clean and out of your scrap grease run off.
Love th e video, I have a 0ne burner small black stone unit for the camper. And dos or don't s i need to know?
very helpful video for this newbie. thank you!!

Happy holidays! Thats great..reach out if we can help
Great video
Best videos EVER.. Thank you sooooo much!!
You're very welcome!
When you moved that piece at 7:00 I was shocked at the temp difference! 😲Thanks for explaining that! BTW never use thighs if you make chicken parm. Trust me, it’s horrible. 😱
Hey King, you must love the flat top grill versus a regular grill and why? Other than everything falls through the grates of a regular grill!
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of this.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey, Maybe it's Mother's Day! I love mine! My husband's not allowed to use it yet! Can't wait to make your chicken parm!
Pukka video from over this side of the pond👍👍👍👍👍🏴😎
This is such fantastic content ! and is very educational and just fun :)
Thanks so much!
used mine last night am i suppose to put tarp cover over it with hardtop cover
also when i cook next time do i heat with oil i left on it get it warm and wipe it down again with oil before i start cooking
Any cover should do....hard or soft....really both are not needed...but the soft helps with dirt and pollen..There should not be enough oil left over to wipe off before you cook the next day...you only need thin layers....the leftover oil is fine next time you cook
