New to griddling

[AndyK]

I just got a new Blackstone and I’m really new to this.
I did 2 cooks so far and at least they tasted good is the best I can say.
It sure wasn’t my style or presentation.

I used the air fryer for spring roll appetizers.
I gave them a spritz of canola and probably should’ve pulled them out a bit sooner.
After I scraped them off a tad they looked and tasted good so I will consider that a win .

Also make some hash brown omelets (thanks to True North Cafe for the idea).
I think about everything went a little wonky with that cook.
The temps were all a bit hot.
I should have been more patient and waited for the proper browning.
The portions when served looked like a special needs retired pipefitter had his hands full.
The hash browned potatoes omelettes somehow tasted fantastic even though they looked funny-ish.
So I need to learn how to properly use the temps and get a b8t more comfortable with it.

I really like all the real estate that is on this griddle.
I have a Hunsaker disc for my performer and while it can smash a burger pretty good it just lacks at most other things.

Overall I’d say I am very impressed with this thing.
I think as time goes by I will get better with it so I’m kinda looking forward to that.

There are a bunch of things I want to learn how to cook on this.
I am in the searching for cool recipes mode.
What do you all like to cook on yours?

Thanks.
Andy

Breakfast. That’s essentially the only thing I use my Blackstone for…I’ve tried steaks and they were not enjoyable at all.

But it makes some KILLER scrambled eggs, French toast, pancakes, bacon, breakfast burritos, sausages. I did try stir fry and it wasn’t bad, need to tweak it some.

I've used mine for the same breakfast items, smashburgers and quesadillas.

Looks like the boss daddy of griddles. If you don't have an Infrared thermometer I would get one. The best way to judge temps on a griddle.

Smash burgers, Fajitas, stir fry, Breakfast, quesadillas, beef and broccoli, patty melt, cheesesteaks, Taco Bell Mexican Pizza, Pastrami on rye, fried corn, lots of other things. Youtube is your friend.

Thanks guys.
I just made us some grilled sammich’s and they were real easy.
I do have an infrared Thermometer and use it often.
I just figured out last night it works well for deep frying.
