5 + Griddle Tips, Tricks, and Hacks For All

[@seansmith3747]

Great tips Hussey! You are one chill cat. Id like to add a few essentials. Paper towel, paper towel, paper towel, paper towel. Rubber gloves with cotton gloves underneath. With the high speed nature of flat top cooking sometimes your hands are waay more efficient than any cooking tool. And lastly, a giant garbage can right next to your table!

[@thehungryhussey]

Great tips there too my friend!

[@rosestanislawczyk7425]

Great video!!! Very informative. When I started on the griddle, I made soooo many mistakes. I made so many, the wildlife started setting up a picnic area in my yard. 😂😂😂. Play off the mistakes and you’ll get it!!! And whatever you do, don’t get discourage. I just look in my yard and say “whose showing up tonight?” Meaning wildlife. 😂😂😂 thank you for the info!!👍👍👍

[@thehungryhussey]

Lol... I'm sure you're doing a great job! Mistakes that are made is a learning moment, always!

[@dzgear1]

This should be the first video every new owner of a Blackstone should watch after learning how to season their new griddle top.

[@thehungryhussey]

Thank you Damian!

[@dustyrhodes9422]

You seem so down to earth . great content, nothing better then fixn food for your family , having fun, and drinking diet cheer wine!

[@thehungryhussey]

Thank you so much 😊

[@jeffreystone7327]

Another incredibly informative video. I’m loving these tutorial videos. Being a beginner I’m trying to learn as much as I can before the cooking process begins. Thanks so much Matt. God bless.

[@thehungryhussey]

Glad you're enjoying it! I'm still learning too.

[@melaneymattson3733]

Great tips and information. Very well thought out and presented presentation. Well done Matthew (or med-rare!) LOL Melaney from SoCal

[@thehungryhussey]

Thank you Melaney! Appreciate you!

[@CowboyCree63]

Great video! I've been using my Blackstone for 3 years now, and I use it A LOT, and you have been a huge inspiration. This video didn't teach me anything I didn't already know, but it definitely was a good reminder of things I don't alway think about before/during a cook! Sometimes it's good to be reminded, helps keep important things in the front of your mind! Thanks again for another great video!!

[@thehungryhussey]

Rock on!

[@thehungryhussey]

Hate you didn't learn anything. This was mostly for the new folks, but not necessarily to them, as some folks could get something from it.

[@CowboyCree63]

@@thehungryhussey don't worry Brother, I learn plenty from you on the regular! Many of your videos have become favorite meals in my house! Like I said, this video was great reminders for those of us who are seasoned cooks, and great learning tips for those who are relatively new!

[@Ebs685]

This should be a REQUIRED video for anyone who buys a griddle. Matt, you knocked it out of the ballpark, in fact you knocked it into another ballpark. Lol Great great video! Stan

[@thehungryhussey]

Thank you! I worked hard on this one!

Alot of folk will definitely benefit from this video. Alot of these tips I learned from trial & error and just working it. That's what I like about cooking and griddlin, the ability of making it your own. Have a great weekend and GRIDDLE ON DUDE.

[@mattkelley277]

Your video popped up when I was watching another video. We don’t have a griddle right now We’re looking for a place to move to first then We will be getting a griddle. I don’t like the grease drain in the back so will probably be getting the member’s mark 5 burner griddle. When I get a griddle I’ll definitely be using these tips. Thank You for the good video.

[@thehungryhussey]

Brand doesn't matter my friend! All these can be applied to any!

[@Scoopy2022]

Hey Matt, another stellar video!! Lots of good info! I got my 17" griddle last summer for my RV after catching a few of your videos... Then I had to get one for Home on the deck! I appreciate your "friends cut off list" LOL. Go stand over in the corner of the deck, while I burn your steak!!! Ugghh!! This was a nice concise guide to lots of information you have provided in many previous videos, but it's all in one place!!! Excellent!! Thank you from Canada!! (FYI: I have even used my griddle in the heart of our cold winter, at -20C, which isn't that far from where our thermometers meet on the low end!!(-40C or F) That was interesting, chilly, and successful!!)

[@thehungryhussey]

Man that's cold!

Just started cooking on a Blackstone and really appreciate your tips and tricks video! Love your "down home" recipes and my first cooks were your chopped cheese sandwich and 'tater pancakes. Wow, what a treat and made the investment in the griddle worth it!! Best sandwich ever and my next will be the smash burgers. Thanks for the lesson and keep up the good work!

Love this video, I am always cooking too hot on my Blackstone and always I never have what I need and have to run back and forth into the house. It does'nt help trying to grill on a humid day.

[@michellekurtz7573]

So helpful thank you! I just starting using a griddle I’d had for almost 8 years and it just sat cuz I didn’t have a clue how to cook on it- your channel has helped me so much I can’t thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and culinary genius! Cooking on the griddle is my new hobby - my family is thrilled and they definitely thank you!! I have several friends hooked on your Greek Chicken meal - I make it weekly 😁

Great video sir! The absolute best advice is temperature of the various proteins. That has helped my entire cooking game out tremendously. Insta read thermometer is the only way to go in my opinion. Great job.

[@dougrogers835]

Great video! One thing I would like to ad is I to always ate pork tenderloin well done. That is till I got it served medium (pink in the middle) at a restaurant. It was the best pork I ever ate. Not talking about BBQ On the other hand, I have never cooked pork tenderloin on a griddle. Keep up the good work!

[@thehungryhussey]

Pork is much better around the 140-145 mark for sure! Thanks for watching.

I want to say a very informative video. Got a griddle last fall and started using it and this video helped a lot. I have one question, how you handle washing hands/sanitation when dealing with raw meat?

[@thehungryhussey]

I’ll use gloves sometimes, but many times I’ll use a spatula to remove from plates onto the griddle.

you got a follow once you said steak Medium is when you start cutting off your friends 🤣😂 Medium rare all the way! I will say we have been eating pork with a little pink for years, it is amazing!! but yes, it was a little off putting the first few times 😁

[@thehungryhussey]

Pork at 140° will yield a pink interior.

[@jeromewesselman1654]

I sure wished I would have seen this my first two cooks, although edible, not to good. I learned planning your cook from the very first one and don’t set plastic close to side vents. I had a nice little oil fire the first time I used my griddle. I have since gotten much better. Practice practice practice. Cooking on a griddle is busy and fast folks, so pay attention!!

[@thehungryhussey]

You're so right Jerome! Like you said too, the more you do it, the better you'll get.

[@UncleDunk]

Great tips, thanks!

[@jerryhubbard4461]

some of the new propane tanks have a valve inside that controls the pressure of the outgoing gas. To avoid this problem. open valve about one turn, open first burner too low. This will keep the pressure valve from shutting down the pressure. After that, start then other burners and open the valve on the take if needed.

[@terryjoy5660]

Sorry Hussy I haven’t noticed your sign hanging up behind you, but if it was there before, I was to busy watching you cook lol..Anyway I love It!
