    Fantastic, absolutely a fantastic job on the griddle Neil and Amy. My son just got a new griddle for Father's Day from his son and I have shared your videos with him for a long time. I hope he will get on board and follow along with you folks too. He always has loved to cook and does quite well and I'm sure he will do well learning the griddle. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.

I think I'll get the Camp Chef Gridiron 36 this winter (maybe I can find it on sale?!). I'm retired Air Force (not a cook), so I can say it looks like you're still wearing your BC glasses. 😉 (Navy is doing great this years in football!) I really enjoy your videos and am learning a lot.

      Camp Chef offers a 20% off code for veterans and first responders. I just purchased the Gridiron complete bundle and after shipping and tax it was still cheaper than the base price. It's roughly $400 for just the griddle after the discount, which is an amazing deal.

    The bevel on the spatula is great for doing over easy eggs. Years ago when I was a cook, we always put a bevel on our spatulas so that the edge would not catch the eggs when flipping them. Flat edge broke the eggs. I still have and still use that spatula 30 years later.

Hamburger hot dogs and grilled onions. And chicken tacos and quesadillas. It worked amazing. I’m very happy.

    Here's my take on the Simply Potatoes vs. a real fresh shredded Russet potato. I love the potato skins shredded into the hash browns. But I also love the Simply Potatoes version in the grocery store's fridge when I'm feeding a crowd. I don't think there's a right or wrong in it. What really consistently sucks are the frozen hash browns. Heck, even the Costco dehydrated hash browns are better than those frozen things IMO. Nice video Neal!

    • @TheBrokenLife
      @TheBrokenLife 7 месяцев назад +1

      I used to freeze the Simply Potatoes, straight from the store to the freezer, and they always came out fine later. I haven't been paying enough attention to the freezer section to see if there are now frozen shredded potatoes to compare them to. When I'm in that mood, I go for patties.

    All fats - whether vegetable or plant based - are subject to oxidative rancidity, which produces that nasty taste like the old pecans that have been in the back of your pantry since Christmas 2018. It may sound strange, but _light olive oil_ is my Go To cooking oil of choice and here's a few reasons why:
    1- It _takes longer_ to develop oxidative rancidity than other oils you've used in the past
    2- It can double as a salad oil (items serving 'double duty' is always good when traveling/camping)
    3- It's practically flavorless, so it can be utilized in basically any food prep, including pancakes/muffins
    4- It's heIIa cheaper than both avocado oil and ghee (clarified butter)
    5- It's high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and vitamin E (vegetable oil is borderline poison)
    I could go on, but why? _Join the pros and keep light olive oil at your griddle station. You'll be glad you did!_
    P.S. I stress LIGHT olive oil - not extra virgin, which _does_ have a flavor AND a much lower smoke point.
    You're welcome.

    • @JohnSmith-hz3ht
      @JohnSmith-hz3ht 7 месяцев назад +2

      Totally agree. Been using light olive oil for years and never looked back...
      The Great Value (Walmart) brand is cheap and does everything you said. I think it's called "Light Tasting Olive Oil" ...anyway, it does the trick.

    Sign me up Boss! Loves me a big breakfast. On a similar note. How about a video where you make Haystacks ? Base is hash browns, biscuits, then layer sausage patties, smother with sausage gravy then top over easy eggs. Some make them with melted cheese on the very top layer. I never saw the need but to each their own. That's a breakfast that will stick to your ribs...... for days.

    Thanks for this! Hoping for a comparison video of the CC, Traeger and the Weber. Appears they all have many positives and negatives. How about a company comes out with a griddle that has Weber's cabinet and accessory design, Traager's build quality and heating design and Camp Chef's grease management. Camp chef allowing the heat to escape and get items on the shelf hot is really disappointing. I wish they would have recessed the griddle more. Woulda been a 10/10.

    Choosing an upgrade over my 22 inch blackstone is proving to be one of the hardest decisions of my life 😂
    I really like the leveling feature and grease trap of the camp chef grid iron, not to mention the true low heat. At the same time a lowes outlet has a couple of the new 36 inch blackstones for $300 and I love the storage and side table, but it looks like it has a lot of the same problems as my current blackstone.
    And then you have Weber and Traeger of course. By the time I decide they’ll all have new models and the process will start anew lol

You make it look so easy but I know how much work it requires to do the level of videos that you guys put out, thank you so much! I actually have a question unrelated to the video. I noticed many RUclips videos are saying that we should get the orange type silicone grill mat to cover the griddle top to protect it from weather and critters, but I noticed you have never mentioned it. I value YOUR input and opinions, what are your thoughts and advice about needing one of those griddle mats? My Blackstone is under a covered patio. In the summer I don’t even use my black cover since I use my griddle almost everyday. I just leave it under my patio without the cover since my Blackstone does come with a lid, but in the winter I do use the cover to keep it dry from the dew and rain. I value your opinions so much. Thank you in advance for your advice.
