Blackstone E-SERIES vs. Original Blackstone Griddle / BATTLE SMASHBURGER!

On this video, we bring our E-Series Blackstone Griddle outside and do a SmashBurger Battle versus the original Blackstone Griddle! I had to do a a comparison video and doing a good old fashioned smashburger seemed like the perfect video to compare the E-Series versus the old school propane griddle!

I have both gas and electric also and I have done smash burgers on both. I will say it takes a little longer to cook on the electric but, you can achieve the same crust as the gas. I also press mine down with a beacon press and hold it down for 20 seconds. Thanks for the vids.

[@ronandloisgraham6763]

Excellent video and comparison. Looking forward to more of your versus videos. As for now I am sticking with my 22" BS. I've only had it for 2 weeks and am really enjoying it. Ron

[@mikej3584]

Hey man New Hampshire here! Love the channel! Love the idea of an electric griddle for the cold times in New England, may not give the exact crust a propane griddle does but they still eat just the same! I just have to wait for Walmart to get them back in stock and then I'm all over it! Thank you for sharing your video!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@GrumpusOnFire]

Great side by side, CJ. Predictable results, but I’d eat either one of them! LOL, “Fight me in the comments” … great line! Cheers to ya CJ 🍻🍻🍻!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Lol! Thanks brother!

[@bubbalo3388]

Yep, thought the same. It's like using cast iron vs nonstick. You want restaurant like results and durability or home results and be careful of damaging the cooking surface. The only thing you are really gaining with the electric version is more cooking surface.

[@jeremythrasher2954]

I just bought an E series, and did smash burgers. I figured out, don't use butter and leave them on a bit longer. They'll get a good char without burning. The family loved them just as much as the ones from our big propane Blackstone!

[@Wavy_Potts]

[@Unwrapasmile]

Awesome cook and a great review.

[@YarnellCrew]

Pretty much as expected. When use the electric and go to 500 then that is what you are going to get. My blackstone on high hits somewhere around 750 to 800 and that is where the crust comes from. The only thing I disagree with is you could have used your metal spatula to smash the burgers on the E-Series as it would not have touched the surface, no biggie the way you did it was fine just an observation. Great vid keep up the good work!

[@thegrumpyolgringo]

Quite revealing match up. I don't think I want something that has to be "babied" all the time. Although it should be a nice addition to the kitchen, if you are used to dealing with non stick cookware. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you sir! Appreciate it.

[@terryhowell4146]

I have the 22E . have to agree, no where close on the crispy crust. I think the bigger problem is the electric griddle doesn't stay hot once you put the meat on it. Used a laser spot temp checker around the griddle. With 6 burgers on the griddle, the temp dropped to 325 and, even with the lid down, couldn't come back up any higher. Bacon on the porch this morning (58 degrees outside) took 30 minutes to cook. Grill cooled to 280 with 8 pieces of bacon on it and didn't recover. Love the cooking surface but falls short of why I bought a blackstone griddle. Gas next time for me.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks for watching

[@bobbicatton]

I would love to see your take on yakisoba stir fry. It seems like a dish well-suited to the E version😁

Thanks CJ. I have a Propane 19” PitBoss rolled steel and just picked up the 22” Blackstone E with the cart. 2 reasons / Don’t like cleaning the PitBoss and also live in Cold Michigan and love to cook in the garage. Thinking with the E I can keep that Garage door shut when it’s -10 degrees and fry that bacon on Saturday & Sunday mornings… lol / I’m a PitBoss Pellet Guy normally. Can’t wait to play with my first Blackstone.

Cast iron is far superior to the ceramic. Ceramic sucks.

Hey CJ! Have you used the Blackstone propane griddle indoors? I know it’s not recommended, but if you had proper ventilation like a good hood set full on can you use it indoors safely?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Honestly I haven’t. My smoke alarms are too sensitive. I’ve seen other do it though.

[@milehighed52801]

@@CookingWithCJ Thanks for your reply. Love the channel. I gotcha on your smoke alarms. They’re there for a good purpose. I realize it’s not ideal, but I’ve got a brand new propane one sitting unopened that I’ve been itching to use for months now. If my alarms go off, I think I will reconsider. They’re fairly new, so I think they’ll let me know if it’s a no go. I still have about a foot of snow on my deck, so what the heck I thought I’d ask. I guess the adage of keep on grillin’ applies here. So, fingers crossed. We’ll see what happens. Thanks, brother!

[@michaelb4512]

Is there alot of splatter on the e series vs what there was with the ninja sizzle do you think one is better than the other?Thanks CJ!

There is if you have a lot of fat on it. I think the original steel one is better.

I'm a new edition to your channel CJ and I'm enjoying it! Thanks! Oh you're correct it does take longer to cook on the E Series, BUT the maintenance and cleanup time is a breeze and makes up for it to me!

[@KapinKrunch]

I bought my E-Series mostly to do breakfast on days when I don't feel like cooking outside due to weather or whatever reason. Thanks for the video showing the differences in the Smashburgers.

[@CookingWithCJ]

It’s a good one for breakfast for sure.

@@CookingWithCJ It just showed up today and we're doing breakfast for dinner tonight to test it out.

[@keithnewton5508]

Thanks just what I have been looking for. I am leaning towards a 22" and I hear that they will have an electric one out by Fall. I thought the electric wouldn't quite have the heat of gas but if it's close and the nonstick has good longevity. I guess we will have to wait and see.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yes I’ve seen it too. I thought about waiting, but I wanted to jump on it when I could.

No more rust or griddle surface maintenance and super easy to clean. It’s the perfect solution for my rv.

If you keep the burger pressed down for 30 seconds the indoor grill crusts the burgers up the same as the outdoor one. Try it.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Will do

[@femmegem9466]

@@CookingWithCJ did you ever try this?

[@sandybaker3572]

I just bought a 22” e series and so far love it. My question is can you use cast iron skillet or stainless pots on it? To heat chili for burgers or beans? Don’t want to mess it up!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hi, I’m not sure if that’s ok or not. It seems pretty much like there should be no metal on there. Not sure how the pans would affect it.

[@marydelfico8406]

No it will scratch the coating

[@jackpalma3590]

Question how do you do a deep clean this griddle?

[@richardl.993]

I use parchment paper and the bottom of a fry pan to smash works pretty good

[@CookingWithCJ]

Definitely!

[@ekirk67611]

Wonder how it would heat a small 10 inch cast iron skillet to make burgers and get the sear crust? Just thinking, cause I've watched them set a pan in to make gravy or even one of the grill mates? I just bought 1 for my truck for cooking on the road cause I didn't like carrying propane along

[@CookingWithCJ]

They’re pretty adamant on not putting mettle on the non-stick.

[@beckylockamy8025]

Shrimp stir fry would be awesome on the electric griddle please! ☺️

[@CookingWithCJ]

Right on! Great idea

[@sherriegilliam4485]

I’m trying to find out we’re I can buy the new grill from please tell me thanks

[@HoundMama1121]

Couple of things. The different tools used to smash the burgers was a factor. The same tool could have been used since you had paper to protect from scratches on the e series. Second you began the smashing process on the gas griddle first and took the burgers off the e series first so there was less time to develop a flavor crust of any sort. If the flavor crust is make or break just add a tidbit more butter and you won't know the difference. I get amazing flavor crust on mine but I always use a little butter no matter where I cook my meats.

[@nonyabizz3533]

I dont use butter or anything. Get amazing crust. The 80 20 meat has enough fat to cook with no problem

[@kellyabbott1566]

Thanks!

[@cam23417]

So sad, was about to get one but if it does not sear/brown/ makes a crust, is a no for me😔 Thanks for the video!

[@steveluken3180]

Nice comparison with predictable results. I probably would've gone ahead and used the metal spatula just to smash the burgers on the e-series but I'm a daredevil. Curious if skipping the butter would increase the crust on the e-series. Thanks for the vid!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hey thanks! And yeah probably would have been crustier without the butter.

[@hoddy2525]

Agreed! Add the butter when nearly done

[@jacklawer6389]

Gr8 video thanks Just subscribed

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks!

[@InTheDirtAgain]

Personal preference, for sure......but I never saw the point of a "smash burger." My family loves it when I make my homemade patties with ground buffalo and mix it all up with chopped onion/jalapenos/green pepper with spices BEFORE it goes onto the grill, followed up with smoked habanero pepperjack or gouda (you know, real cheese!!!). Speaking of grills, we use a portable pellet smoker grill for all our outdoor meats. Have only used the larger E-series to make breakfast and hibachi chicken w/rice.

[@teddybruscie]

Why didn't they use cast Iron? Is there a limitation for the electric with cast iron?

[@theproductreviewer9661]

Looks yummy 😋great video

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!!

[@epnickgames]

I'd love to see a breakfast versus (eggs, bacon and pancakes on each)

[@CookingWithCJ]

I think pancakes are next up! Thanks much!

[@TheRealDealHunny]

It's difficult to compare the two items as one Blackstone was meant for outside use with a high smoke point that you would not desire inside your home. Secondly, the E-Series was meant for indoor use, hence the lid is to be used to help maintain heat. A good comparison would be a similar item from a different brand that is also electric.

[@truthistruth4186]

With the E series you have to move the juices and move the patties to dry areas. If you leave it in all the juices it steams it doesn't crust up

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks!

Lol! Thanks! I'm not a fan of fish, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the idea!

[@lonniewest5635]

I think the problem was with the e-series, and not getting a crust because you used butter on a non-stick surface which was steaming the meat. If ground beef has 20% fat there is no need for butter and oils. I use butter just before I pull the patties off the grill. The best crust I ever had on a burger , was from using muster on the meat .

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yeah true. Shouldn’t have used the butter. Thanks for watching!

[@lonniewest5635]

@@CookingWithCJ maybe do another video, and try it without the butter. It would be interesting to see the result on the e-series.

Agreed with you on the cheese. I hate american cheese on anything else but it's perfect on a smash burger.

[@pulsatingsausageboy2076]

Not sure why Blackstone chose a ceramic coating for the electric one. I guess if you’re gonna be cookin’ burgers on it you might wanna go for one from another manufacturer that doesn’t use ceramic. My stove is electric but because I use metal pans I get a damn good sear on burgers. I bet it’s great for cooking eggs though.

[@paulbram2]

Right?!? Use an induction element paired with iron/steel and you would get the best of both worlds!

[@pulsatingsausageboy2076]

@@paulbram2 Well, all I know is that there are other electric griddles out there one can buy that have a steel top just like his gas griddle does. Blackstone choosing to go another direction than they do with their gas griddles seems like a peculiar choice. It’s too bad. I’d like to buy an electric Blackstone but that one isn’t gonna suit my needs or that of a lot of other people so I guess I’ll have to go with something else.

Ceramic coatings can't handle high heat or they break down so that's why the electric one doesn't get as hot if they made it to get hotter the coating would break down.
