Cherrish Anderson thank you for watching! This is actually a Walmart exclusive, the air fryer griddle combo. I believe Blackstone started selling these recently directly on their site: Blackstone products.com good luck!
I just got this griddle for my husband today as a anniversary gift! Thank you for this it is easy to follow! Seeing your excitement makes me even more excited to start cooking on it!
Yay!! We have LOVED doing these videos, and we are genuinely excited how good the food turns out! We are twins and just got back on the griddle together, which makes it even more fun. Let us know if there’s something you’d like to see us cook! Congrats on the anniversary and the new griddle!!🤗🤗
Shame on you guys, you just cost me money, lol! Just picked up my 28" griddle, air fryer combo yesterday from Walmart! What a thing of beauty this griddle is! I'm so f'n and excited! Since I'm near Chicago, I have to wait till Thursday, when the weather gets in the mid 50s to season my griddle! Later that night me and my friend are going to make Reuben's! What an awesome griddle this is, and so easy to put together! Your channel is very addictive, you guys rock!
Oh heck yes fam! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! Congratulations on the new Blackstone and welcome to #GRIDDLENATION!!🔥🔥. This thing is a blast for sure, and the Reuben’s were absolutely amazing!! Good luck with it all brother! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥
I just got a brand new 28in Blackstone Griddle for $70 from my local WalMart! This video is EXACTLY what I needed to see to get started! Can't wait to try it out this weekend!
Oh awesome man! Congratulations on the bee Blackstone! We love this thing!! You are gonna have some fun! Thank you so much for watching, GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Hey guys, I have been watching your videos for a while now and I just subscribed tonight, as I bought a 28 inch Blackstone for Fathers Day. It won't be delivered until Friday, but I am very excited and have been wanting one for YEARS! Thank You for all your videos and I plan on using this grille A LOT!!!!!!!!!
Wahoo!! Congratulations on the new griddle!! For sure, we love cooking, and griddle cooking a just a pure joy! The food is always amazing!! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Ok, a month ago I bought the 22” Blackstone that we will take camping. I enjoyed cooking on it so much that my wife recommended getting a 36” for my birthday and I just picked it up today.WalTwins, you have been my inspiration. I have cooked awesome smash burgers, teppanyaki, breakfasts, cheese steaks and Pad Thai. These griddles are like crack for cooks. Please keep up the videos, you guys are fun to watch.
Wow!! That is so amazing!! Thank you so much - not only for watching, but for the love fam! So exciting, the new 36” we can’t wait!!! Much love - we will keep the cooks coming!!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Can’t thank you guys enough for this channel I just bought a 22 inch black stone and have already learned so much. I watched this seasoning video and I think mine turned out pretty good.
I found that paper towels worked pretty good for applying the oil. I tried microfiber at first, it melted the microfiber towel! I bet a cotton piece of cloth/towel would work fine. Thanks for the video we are enjoying our new griddle
I FINALLY seasoned my griddle today. It's a 22in, but the cooking surface was like 98% good after the second seasoning. Much love and appreciation on your videos. I watch them all the time and learn new things. I wish you was here with me to see all the magic happen. I would of made you proud after watching and listen to your video's. Can't wait to make my own first cook! I live in West Virginia and weather was trash! Couldn't wait much longer. Thanks.
Yes!! Congratulations man! So happy you were finally able to get it up and running!! If we ever do a road trip, we’ll swing through West Virginia for sure!!🔥🔥🤙🤙

Just found you.... I picked up my BS about June of last year. It has done me well.. I have lent it out to friends and no I don't.... Got it back one time and I asked how it went (he was cooking for his grand opening--we cater, why we bought it... strap it to a trailer and bring fresh cooking to the catering....) anyway, he said it went great, the cooker works awesome... hard to clean, took a while, but I got it.. didn't think anything of it.. went out later that night to put it were it belongs and I looked.... he cleaned it alright.... had to reseason it.. he took it back to factory................................... I use 50/25/25 Coconut/Olive/Avacado when I cook.. to season its 50/50 Canola/Olive. not sure about the "experience", sounds like you need a hug.... now off to check out the rest of your BS vids.
Got my Blackstone today!! Did my first seasoning following your video....it turned out beautiful! Tonight I then made smash burgers and homemade cut fries!! It was perfect!! 😊😊😊
Wahoo!! Congratulations on the new Blackstone!!🤗🤗. Great minds think alike - Smashburgers were the first thing I cooked on my Blackstone as well! Take care Lisa and GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙
little trick I do when I'm seasoning, is sometimes it's hard to tell where I have oil on that's a little bit too much, so I just use the "XPOWER A-5 Multi-Purpose Mini Electric Duster" (meant for cleaning the inside of a computer) and when seasoning just after putting the oil on, I will blow the air around the edge and over the surface to see where the oil is thicker, and then just go over it with paper towel, and then use the air duster again to get rid of anything left behind with the paper towel.
Yes!!!!! So awesome! Thank you so much for all of your support! Let us know if you have questions along the way man! We don’t know everything, but we’re always willing to learn and share!🤙🤙
Wahoo!! Congratulations on the new Blackstone! You are going to LOVE the griddle life! Let us know if you ever have any questions! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥

Well, well, well...we meet again old friend. Looking to get a blackstone grill and was looking for how to season it and came across this video. Miss the old days Mr. Walton! Hope all is well and you got yourself a new subscriber!!!
EARL!!! What is up man!!?? It is so good to hear from you! We freaking love this thang!! Do you still have my number? Reach out if you have any questions!🤙🤙🔥🔥
@@waltwins hey bud!! I should! I've been wanting one for awhile, so definitely going to watch your videos for some help getting started! Really happy to come across this and even happier your channel is doing well. Keep it up!!!
Wahoo!! Congratulations on the new Blackstone! They are so much fun for sure, and the reverse sear is gonna be the bomb-diggety!! Thank you so much for watching and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥🤙🤙
I have done steak several times on my 22" Blackstone and it is ALWAYS great.. usually marinated but sometimes just salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder. Again, ALWAYS great!
Very informative. This was exactly what I needed to get started, Just got my first Blackstone griddle. A 28 inch Pro Series, Seems to be very heavy duty. I am stoked!
Wahoo!! Congratulations on the new Blackstone! That pro series is a beautiful unit! For sure these things are beasts! We’ve done over 400 cooks on this one here! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Every since the very first time I went to a Japanese steakhouse I have wanted one of these flat iron grills to cook hibachi at my own house. Best of all worlds steaks, hamburgers, hibachi, breakfast, Wow you name it. I was checking these things out online and they’re actually not a bad price at all. Great video man. I enjoyed very much. Fun to see how excited you are about it.
Thanks so much man! You’re right! Brett just ordered the 22” for $120 on Amazon - we keep talking about doing fried rice and hibachi. Can’t wait to dig in more!!
Thank you so much for watching! We had posted this video before Blackstone came out with their conditioning and seasoning, that said, it’s relatively pricey. We have no issue with it, but get the same results with vegetable or canola oil. We have also used grapeseed and even flax seed oil. Take care!
Thanks for this video. I'm getting a Blackstone for my outdoor kitchen area and this is a very informative video on how to season it for the first time.
Noticed on 1st application, the burners were off, then you applied the oil, then turned on burners. I understood that one should heat the griddle 1st and then apply the initial coat of oil. Thoughts? Does it matter?
Thank you so much for watching! While it doesn’t necessarily matter, we’ve since turned the burners on first for 10 minutes or so and then started the process. It helps get the griddle dark quicker. 😄😄
Wahoo!! Congratulations on the new griddle! We have absolutely loved this thing! We’ve cooked on it well over a hundred times since March - can’t say enough scour how much this has changed our cooking! Take care, and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Thanks for the great video can't wait to see a cook something good on there My favorite thing to grill is a ribeye big fat ribeye steaks thanks for a great video stay safe out there 😃🥩🥩
lucas mcquillan awesome man! Brett and I will for sure do a ribeye vid on this thang! Thanks so much for watching - even a “how to” vid - you are the best Lucas!🤙🤙
We ordered our 36in last night. My son has the exact one you showing this video. I got the one without the airfryer. I grill out a lot but I've never had a griddle. I am hoping it's something we will use.
I bought a blackstone 28" grill from Black Friday 2018 🤣. I totally forgot about it, and it went covered up in my garage until today. I'm excited to get it set up. Found your video on prepping it. I can't wait to see what else you have posted!
Oh awesome!! Congratulations on both the news Blackstone AND on the wedding!! So exciting! Let us know if you have any questions! Take care and GRIDDLE ON !🤙🤙🔥🔥
Gator Golf USA awesome, thank you so much! Ya, you gotta let him k ow, before the first cook, he has to season it - years and years of amazing food with this this thang!!🤙🤙
Oh awesome, congratulations on the new griddle!! We love these things for sure and know you’ll love it too!! Thank you so much for watching man, GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Im new to the griddle world cause I panic with propane tanks 😂but Love to have food ready during BBQ Great Video and Griddle is seasoned just like yours Thanks 👍🏼
I know this vid is old and my question probably won't be seen, buy I'll ask anyway. I just got one for Christmas and havnt setup yet. Hoping to this weekend. What about bottom of grill. It's bare metal won't rust be a problem underneath the griddle. Second turning on high especially at first when seasoning does warping occur? Or is it best to start on med around 350 ish or go all out 500° or is warping not an issue?
Thank you so much for watching! We’ve never seasoned the bottom of the griddle plate, but know of others who have. We never experienced warping, and did actually find that the middle of the griddle (for this unit here) gets extremely hot so I would turn the bobs between medium and high, rather than all the way up. One thing I didn’t do that is recommended just before the first coat of oil is laid down, is to turn the burners to high for about 15 minutes. I had put the oil on first. Hope this helps, and good luck fam!!🔥🔥
New subscriber. I bought a used 36 inch stripped it down and followed the seasoning process. All looks good except the corners and edges kinda like yours did at 2 coats. I did 5.
Oh awesome! Congratulations on the née griddle fam!! We’ve learned that the corners will blacken over time - my left side cooks cooler and the back left almost never fully turns - still amazing! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Got my 1st griddle. Just seasoned and ready for use. Can I use the Q Swiper wipes that I used on my grill to lightly clean my griddle prior to each use? It will probably get used once a week so it will be sitting idle the rest of the week collecting dust.
Thank you so much for watching! Actually after seasoning the griddle, the Q Swiper Wipes would pull off the seasoning layer. You want to clean using only water to steam off any gunk, and then oil. Do you have a hood/cover for the griddle?
Thank you so much for watching! You only need to season before the first cook. At times when the griddle surface looks rough, I will do some reseasoning, but that should happen for a while. Hope this helps!! Take care!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Thank you so much for watching - while you can, oils with a higher smoke point like vegetable, canola, or flaxseed oil work much better for the initial seasoning layer. Hope this helps!🤙🤙
@@waltwins Yes thank you that helps a lot. Actually watched your video on how to clean your griddle too. I appreciate all your helpful hints for first time griddlers
Question please … when u season it with the oil, should the griddle be hot? And when done putting oil on it should I keep the lid open for alittle bit or can I close it after I oil it? Thank u. We just cooked our first meal on it and ur video helped
This was probably the best video on seasoning. One question though, how high of a temperature did you dial it up to and did you slowly warm up the griddle?
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! When seasoning the griddle, we fire it up and leave it on high the whole time! Hope this helps Ed!
Just bought my first blackstone griddle and charcoal grill and your videos are such a great help to getting me to where I need to be with my first griddle THANK YOu!!
Just purchased my first Blackstone 28"griddle. Looking forward to learning how to use this thing since I suck as a cook. Going to give your Chicken Fried Rice video a try.
Wow, congratulations on the new Blackstone, and thank you so much for watching! Yes, the one thing we would do differently on the fried rice, is let the rice cook just a bit longer with the oil in the griddle. It was still amazing and a family favorite!!
@@waltwins Thank you guys for the quick response. Been watching most of your videos, learned a lot and just for your info, made my marriage .........amazing!
Congratulations fam!! Yup!! You just add a bit of oil and get your cook on! I actually cooked bacon first (for smashburgers), so didn’t add oil, as the bacon grease was all that was needed. You may get a bit of sticking on the new surface, but don’t get discouraged! It’s normal and will get better with each cook! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙🔥🔥
I just bought and seasoned a Blackstone 36" griddle. I have some experience in a commercial kitchen cooking on flat tops. Two observations on your otherwise excellent video: 1) I think it would have been better to remove the lid so you could properly apply oil to the back edge and upright surface of the griddle and; 2) the griddle surface should never look "wet" with oil. Very thin coats are the key because any pooling or over application of oil leads to sticky areas and premature flaking. Like a cast iron pan, it should look nearly dry with a matte finish rather than shiny and wet when the oil is applied to season.
Thank you so much for watching, and agreed! This was our first seasoning ever (about 4 years ago), we’ve learned to do just as you recommended - overall much better process! Take care
Thanks for the video. I started mine this morning and thought the brown in the middle was something I did wrong. Kept letting it go then it spread out and looked great!
Congratulations on the new griddle fam! For sure it’s a new and different process, it in the end, sounds like it worked out perfectly! Take care and GRIDDLE ON FAM!🤙🤙🔥🔥
That is so awesome, congratulations!! You are gonna love it!! Thank you for watching, and let us know if you have any questions! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Oh yay! Congratulations on the new Blackstone!!🤗🤗 - the biggest advice I would give (that I may have not made really clear in the video), is to make sure the coats of oil are thin - if it’s too thick it will begin to flake off earlier than you would want. Good luck, and Griddle On, Lori!🤙🤙
I'm new to griddle cooking. Got a stainless steel griddle insert for my AOG natural gas grill. Using your method I'm finding it very hard to build up a even seasoning across the entire surface. Suggestions?
Hey fam! Thank you for watching! I don’t think you season a stainless steel griddle the same way as you would here - the cold rolled steel seasons a bit differently.
Thank you so much for watching fam! No med. simply wash it with soap and warm water, rinse it, then wipe it and begin the seasoning process. The only thing I’d do differently from the video, is I’d let the griddle heat up for 10-15 minutes before applying the first coat. Hope this helps!🔥🔥
I did mine in my oven just like a cast iron skillet I have 20 or 25 griswold skillets coat cooking surface with oil heat oven to 325 if griddle will fits in your oven place griddle In oven bake for couple hours done
And if it get a lot of buildup and you want it to look like new set oven to 450 clean griddle to the best of your ability place in oven and cook till all old seasoning is flaking off
Oh wow, while we have never seasoned the underside, we do know there are others who have. It isn’t specifically recommended by Blackstone, but I’m sure it helps!
I'm about to be a new griddler because I picked up the blackstone tailgater recently. I will primarily use it camping and it will store in the camper. There will be week even 2 week periods I won't be using it let alone maybe much of the winter. I heard somewhere else what you said about whatever oil but flaxseed was recommended if you may only use once a week or less often than that. Is there any truth to this? Does a "healthier" option make any difference? You're a natural behind the camera! Thanks.
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! Any oil will work, however, since this video, we’ve realized being here in central Florida that with the extreme heat and humidity, that the flaxseed oil is amazing! Ultimately, it’s nearly impossible to mess this thing up, so any oil should do!😄😄. Take care, I hope this helps!
Quite a bit late here but I am new sub! Wanted a built in grill/griddle in my mansion kitchen that I don't have yet (one day one ☝️ lol) so my daughter bought me a blackstone tabletop to use 🤷🏻♀️let's get this puppy seasoned baby what what!!! Exited to see what you have in store here!!!
Haha!! Heck yes fam!! That is so awesome, congratulations on the new Blackstone! We love griddle cooking, for sure if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask! Take care and GRIDDLE ON FAM!!!💙💙🤙🤙
I just bought my first Blackstone griddle. I have seasoned it and it looks great, I put four coats of olive oil on it. My question is how do you clean the grill after cooking? What method do you use to clean the surface off and do you reapply oil after you clean it?
Are you excited for griddle season?! What’s your favorite thing to griddle or grill?
Smashburgers! They took the burger game to a whole nother level!
right now, chicken and bacon skewers with onions and peppers...or Malaya....look it up...its da boss
Breakfast wins every time.
Walttwins, I am in search of the Blackstone you have, I am not finding it, is this apart of the pro series?

Well, well, well...we meet again old friend. Looking to get a blackstone grill and was looking for how to season it and came across this video. Miss the old days Mr. Walton! Hope all is well and you got yourself a new subscriber!!!
EARL!!! What is up man!!?? It is so good to hear from you! We freaking love this thang!! Do you still have my number? Reach out if you have any questions!🤙🤙🔥🔥
@@waltwins hey bud!! I should! I've been wanting one for awhile, so definitely going to watch your videos for some help getting started! Really happy to come across this and even happier your channel is doing well. Keep it up!!!
Awesome vid man, just bought mine today and watched this video to season mine in.
The best damn video I’ve seen for seasoning you Blackstone! The company needs to pay you for it. I’m a fan now!
Wow, thank you so much for watching and for the kind words!! That means so much man! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥🤙🤙
I just bought mine to compliment my pellet grill. (Which I love). Will be great for a reverse seer. Smash burgers and breakfast
Wahoo!! Congratulations on the new Blackstone! They are so much fun for sure, and the reverse sear is gonna be the bomb-diggety!! Thank you so much for watching and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥🤙🤙
I have done steak several times on my 22" Blackstone and it is ALWAYS great.. usually marinated but sometimes just salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder. Again, ALWAYS great!
Woot woot! Isn’t it crazy, the hate for griddled steaks? These are the best we’ve had! Thanks so much for watching man, griddle on!🤙🤙
Very informative. This was exactly what I needed to get started, Just got my first Blackstone griddle. A 28 inch Pro Series, Seems to be very heavy duty. I am stoked!
Wahoo!! Congratulations on the new Blackstone! That pro series is a beautiful unit! For sure these things are beasts! We’ve done over 400 cooks on this one here! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Every since the very first time I went to a Japanese steakhouse I have wanted one of these flat iron grills to cook hibachi at my own house. Best of all worlds steaks, hamburgers, hibachi, breakfast, Wow you name it. I was checking these things out online and they’re actually not a bad price at all. Great video man. I enjoyed very much. Fun to see how excited you are about it.
Thanks so much man! You’re right! Brett just ordered the 22” for $120 on Amazon - we keep talking about doing fried rice and hibachi. Can’t wait to dig in more!!
Good video. One question; why did you decide to use the canola oil instead of the Blackstone Seasoning and Cast Iron Conditioner?
Thank you so much for watching! We had posted this video before Blackstone came out with their conditioning and seasoning, that said, it’s relatively pricey. We have no issue with it, but get the same results with vegetable or canola oil. We have also used grapeseed and even flax seed oil. Take care!
Thanks for this video. I'm getting a Blackstone for my outdoor kitchen area and this is a very informative video on how to season it for the first time.
I love these vid's -thanks for the oil tip! - I used Canola
Noticed on 1st application, the burners were off, then you applied the oil, then turned on burners. I understood that one should heat the griddle 1st and then apply the initial coat of oil. Thoughts? Does it matter?
Thank you so much for watching! While it doesn’t necessarily matter, we’ve since turned the burners on first for 10 minutes or so and then started the process. It helps get the griddle dark quicker. 😄😄
Love you instruction , best video on how to season the back stone , very informative!!! Great job !! Thank you .
Wow, thank you so much man! We really hope it helped! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥🤙🤙
I got the very same grill yesterday and this video was exactly what I needed to see. Thanks you so much!
Wahoo!! Congratulations on the new griddle! We have absolutely loved this thing! We’ve cooked on it well over a hundred times since March - can’t say enough scour how much this has changed our cooking! Take care, and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Thank you for this!! We're very excited to start our griddle season!
Woooohoooo!!! Welcome to the good life!! Please don’t hesitate to reach out! We got you!!! Griddle on!!!😁❤️🤙

We ordered our 36in last night. My son has the exact one you showing this video. I got the one without the airfryer. I grill out a lot but I've never had a griddle. I am hoping it's something we will use.
So awesome fam! We absolutely love it - it’s a game changer for sure! Let us know if you have any questions! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥
I bought a blackstone 28" grill from Black Friday 2018 🤣. I totally forgot about it, and it went covered up in my garage until today. I'm excited to get it set up. Found your video on prepping it. I can't wait to see what else you have posted!
Great video. This was super helpful

Im new to the griddle world cause I panic with propane tanks 😂but Love to have food ready during BBQ
Great Video and Griddle is seasoned just like yours Thanks 👍🏼
I know this vid is old and my question probably won't be seen, buy I'll ask anyway. I just got one for Christmas and havnt setup yet. Hoping to this weekend. What about bottom of grill. It's bare metal won't rust be a problem underneath the griddle. Second turning on high especially at first when seasoning does warping occur? Or is it best to start on med around 350 ish or go all out 500° or is warping not an issue?
Thank you so much for watching! We’ve never seasoned the bottom of the griddle plate, but know of others who have. We never experienced warping, and did actually find that the middle of the griddle (for this unit here) gets extremely hot so I would turn the bobs between medium and high, rather than all the way up. One thing I didn’t do that is recommended just before the first coat of oil is laid down, is to turn the burners to high for about 15 minutes. I had put the oil on first. Hope this helps, and good luck fam!!🔥🔥
Thank you so much for this video! Quick and easy to the point and down to earth! Thank you!
Wow, thank you so much brother!! Let us know if you ever have any other questions!! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥
New subscriber. I bought a used 36 inch stripped it down and followed the seasoning process. All looks good except the corners and edges kinda like yours did at 2 coats. I did 5.
Oh awesome! Congratulations on the née griddle fam!! We’ve learned that the corners will blacken over time - my left side cooks cooler and the back left almost never fully turns - still amazing! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Thank you so much! I just bought one yesterday!!!
Thank you for the help! Awesome tips
Of course! Thank you so much for watching! Congratulations on the new griddle fam! GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Got my 1st griddle. Just seasoned and ready for use. Can I use the Q Swiper wipes that I used on my grill to lightly clean my griddle prior to each use? It will probably get used once a week so it will be sitting idle the rest of the week collecting dust.
Thank you so much for watching! Actually after seasoning the griddle, the Q Swiper Wipes would pull off the seasoning layer. You want to clean using only water to steam off any gunk, and then oil. Do you have a hood/cover for the griddle?
@@waltwins Thank you, I enjoy your videos, keep em coming!
Nice video, look forward to seeing the first cook.
Karl Simonian thank you so much! Vid coming Friday - Something I’ve always wanted to try!! Really appreciate you watching!🤙🤙
Hello, I just got a new Blackstone grill. For seasoning the grill. Do you do it before you cook every time or just once on a while? Love the videos!
Thank you so much for watching! You only need to season before the first cook. At times when the griddle surface looks rough, I will do some reseasoning, but that should happen for a while. Hope this helps!! Take care!🔥🔥🤙🤙
@@waltwins thank you very much. It helps a lot.
So I just purchased the 22 inch Blackstone griddle for camping. When seasoning can you use avocado oil or olive oil.
Thank you so much for watching - while you can, oils with a higher smoke point like vegetable, canola, or flaxseed oil work much better for the initial seasoning layer. Hope this helps!🤙🤙
@@waltwins Yes thank you that helps a lot. Actually watched your video on how to clean your griddle too. I appreciate all your helpful hints for first time griddlers
@@davidroberts168 awesome, so happy to help fam, congratulations on the new griddle! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Question please … when u season it with the oil, should the griddle be hot? And when done putting oil on it should I keep the lid open for alittle bit or can I close it after I oil it? Thank u. We just cooked our first meal on it and ur video helped
This was probably the best video on seasoning. One question though, how high of a temperature did you dial it up to and did you slowly warm up the griddle?
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! When seasoning the griddle, we fire it up and leave it on high the whole time! Hope this helps Ed!
I just watched a video before this one that said. Do not turn your griddle up to high to seasoned right away. Or it could warp your griddle
Just got our 22' !! super excited and obsessed with your videos!
Oh yes!! That is so awesome, congratulations on the new Blackstone! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! GRIDDLE ON!🤗🤗🔥🔥
Just bought my first blackstone griddle and charcoal grill and your videos are such a great help to getting me to where I need to be with my first griddle THANK YOu!!
Just purchased my first Blackstone 28"griddle. Looking forward to learning how to use this thing since I suck as a cook. Going to give your Chicken Fried Rice video a try.
Wow, congratulations on the new Blackstone, and thank you so much for watching! Yes, the one thing we would do differently on the fried rice, is let the rice cook just a bit longer with the oil in the griddle. It was still amazing and a family favorite!!
@@waltwins Thank you guys for the quick response. Been watching most of your videos, learned a lot and just for your info, made my marriage .........amazing!
@@waltwins Thanks guys, Jasmin rice is the best! Will be watching more of your videos.
Seasoned my new Blackstone last night and let it cool off.Closed cover and out soft cover on.When we cook first time do we just add some oil and go?
Congratulations fam!! Yup!! You just add a bit of oil and get your cook on! I actually cooked bacon first (for smashburgers), so didn’t add oil, as the bacon grease was all that was needed. You may get a bit of sticking on the new surface, but don’t get discouraged! It’s normal and will get better with each cook! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙🔥🔥
I just bought and seasoned a Blackstone 36" griddle. I have some experience in a commercial kitchen cooking on flat tops. Two observations on your otherwise excellent video: 1) I think it would have been better to remove the lid so you could properly apply oil to the back edge and upright surface of the griddle and; 2) the griddle surface should never look "wet" with oil. Very thin coats are the key because any pooling or over application of oil leads to sticky areas and premature flaking. Like a cast iron pan, it should look nearly dry with a matte finish rather than shiny and wet when the oil is applied to season.
Thank you so much for watching, and agreed! This was our first seasoning ever (about 4 years ago), we’ve learned to do just as you recommended - overall much better process! Take care
Thanks for the video. I started mine this morning and thought the brown in the middle was something I did wrong. Kept letting it go then it spread out and looked great!
Congratulations on the new griddle fam! For sure it’s a new and different process, it in the end, sounds like it worked out perfectly! Take care and GRIDDLE ON FAM!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Just got my first blackstone and I'm gonna season tomorrow! So glad for your video very straight forward very informative. Loving it.
That is so awesome, congratulations!! You are gonna love it!! Thank you for watching, and let us know if you have any questions! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Going to season ours for the 1st time today. So excited & this video is a big help. Thank you for sharing!
Oh yay! Congratulations on the new Blackstone!!🤗🤗 - the biggest advice I would give (that I may have not made really clear in the video), is to make sure the coats of oil are thin - if it’s too thick it will begin to flake off earlier than you would want. Good luck, and Griddle On, Lori!🤙🤙
I'm new to griddle cooking. Got a stainless steel griddle insert for my AOG natural gas grill. Using your method I'm finding it very hard to build up a even seasoning across the entire surface. Suggestions?
Hey fam! Thank you for watching! I don’t think you season a stainless steel griddle the same way as you would here - the cold rolled steel seasons a bit differently.
Should I sand the cook surface before my initial seasoning?
Thank you so much for watching fam! No med. simply wash it with soap and warm water, rinse it, then wipe it and begin the seasoning process. The only thing I’d do differently from the video, is I’d let the griddle heat up for 10-15 minutes before applying the first coat. Hope this helps!🔥🔥
I did mine in my oven just like a cast iron skillet I have 20 or 25 griswold skillets coat cooking surface with oil heat oven to 325 if griddle will fits in your oven place griddle In oven bake for couple hours done
And if it get a lot of buildup and you want it to look like new set oven to 450 clean griddle to the best of your ability place in oven and cook till all old seasoning is flaking off
Great suggestion! The 36” is much too large, but this is great advice for those with a 17” or 22”!🤙🤙
My 22” came in with white mold all over it and rust on the feet and rivet surface of the grill. Do you clean and season the underside?
Oh wow, while we have never seasoned the underside, we do know there are others who have. It isn’t specifically recommended by Blackstone, but I’m sure it helps!
@@waltwins I wonder if it will fit in my oven to season lol
Thank you for this video. I just won a 36 inch from our local fire department can't wait to set it up.
Oh wow, congratulations!! That is so awesome! Good luck with the first seasoning of the surface and with the amazing cooks to come! GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Super helpful, thank you!
Awesome, we're so happy this helped! Take care and GRIDDLE ON FAM!
I'm about to be a new griddler because I picked up the blackstone tailgater recently. I will primarily use it camping and it will store in the camper. There will be week even 2 week periods I won't be using it let alone maybe much of the winter. I heard somewhere else what you said about whatever oil but flaxseed was recommended if you may only use once a week or less often than that. Is there any truth to this? Does a "healthier" option make any difference? You're a natural behind the camera! Thanks.
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! Any oil will work, however, since this video, we’ve realized being here in central Florida that with the extreme heat and humidity, that the flaxseed oil is amazing! Ultimately, it’s nearly impossible to mess this thing up, so any oil should do!😄😄. Take care, I hope this helps!
Quite a bit late here but I am new sub! Wanted a built in grill/griddle in my mansion kitchen that I don't have yet (one day one ☝️ lol) so my daughter bought me a blackstone tabletop to use 🤷🏻♀️let's get this puppy seasoned baby what what!!! Exited to see what you have in store here!!!
Haha!! Heck yes fam!! That is so awesome, congratulations on the new Blackstone! We love griddle cooking, for sure if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask! Take care and GRIDDLE ON FAM!!!💙💙🤙🤙
Just seasoned mine to this video. Thank you!
Oh awesome, so happy it worked out! Thank you so much for watching and congratulations on the new Blackstone! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙🔥🔥
I just bought my first Blackstone griddle. I have seasoned it and it looks great, I put four coats of olive oil on it. My question is how do you clean the grill after cooking? What method do you use to clean the surface off and do you reapply oil after you clean it?
Thanks so much for watching! I just posted a video showing how I clean!
