The 4 Most Important Things New Griddle Owners Need to Know.

[@JohnnyBrunet]

New griddle owner? My ebook has everything you need to know. Seasoning, Cleaning, Common Mistakes, Temperature Charts and over 100 Recipes!! Grab a copy here for only $15 bit.ly/GriddleEbook

[@Marc-fl7mz]

I bought it but accidentally left the page without downloading it. How do I get back to it??

[@1962pgb]

Hi Johnny. I'm in Canada and when I try to purchase it, it keeps saying something wrong with the address and doesn't let me purchase it. Since it's an e-book why would it matter about my address. Can you clarify?

[@1962pgb]

Thanks Johnny. I ended up using Apple pay and it worked. Looks great. We got snow here in Canada on April 19 and with a new grill waiting to be used I'm super anxious. I'll check out your book and be ready when I can hit the griddle.

[@JohnnyBrunet]

@@1962pgb hey just saw this. I'm sorry I don't know why it didn't work initially but I'm glad apple pay worked. Thank you so much for buying it I really appreciate it. And congratulations on the new griddle you'll love it! We just got snow in Ohio yesterday, I don't know what's going on! It's ok though we'll all be making fries rice and smash burgers soon enough.

[@valeriestroh310]

Hi Johnny. I ordered the ebook accidentally twice. I don’t need it twice How can I get a refund for one?

[@mathew1923]

Literally the best guy to talk about this. Drink beer, do the bare minimum that produces premium results, and is a no bullshit guy. Subbed.

[@JohnnyBrunet]

Thanks man I'm glad you like the videos. I feel the beer is the most important part 😁

[@rushrule1]

Agreed, sub here as well

[@startingoverat5722]

Dude, I know this video is a year old and you probably won’t see this but I just wanted to let you know what a fantastic video this was on grilling. Never been a grilling guy although I’m looking at getting a flat top and trying my hand at it, your explanations were fantastic and I love the snap shot you had of the temperature gradients that you use and what to cook on them..super helpful.

[@JohnnyBrunet]

Hey thanks so much for watching and for the kind words. I'm glad you found it helpful and I hope you get a flat top I love mine. I have all sorts of videos on temp control, cleaning, maintenance, ext.... So if you get one don't hesitate to ask a question and Id be happy to answer. I try my best to answer all comments. Have a good one.

[@tommywalker742]

The intro said it all, an hour long meeting that could be summed up in a ten minute email. Hence why I try to drink beer as often as possible.

Haha me too Tommy, just working for the weekend. Thanks for watching buddy.

[@johnNJ4024]

People with a narcissistic and self aggrandizing personality gravitate toward management positions. They love to hear themselves talk and think every word is pivotal on the success of whoever and whatever they manage. Truth is... about 5% to 10% is worth a $hit the rest is their self inflating ego. This is just the facts of living in a cubicle farm.

Ik this is an old video. But it still taught me stuff I had questions about. It took so much convincing to get my wife to get me an infrared thermometer. But I have so many different ones. Mostly for smoking meat. Since I usually smoke to temperature and not time. I have an instant read I use constantly. But the infrared is a must for cooking on a griddle. Very greatful she got it for me. But again. Knocked it out of the park. I hope to buy your ebook soon. I already have the free on on my phone. Thanks for the awesome vid brother. ❤🎉😊

[@JohnnyBrunet]

Thanks Shawn I'm glad this one was helpful as well. Ya I feel like I beat the infrared thermometer into the ground but it is just so useful in my opinion.

[@michaeldorontich6604]

Outstanding channel, Johnny! I bought a griddle about a month ago. I like your channel because you explain the zones, and why and where to put your food to cook. Other channels are like, "Look what I/we cooked! We're the kings of the griddle!" You seem to actually like to griddle. I know that I really like griddling now that I have one. Keep cranking out the videos, as they are fun to watch and very informative.

[@JohnnyBrunet]

Hi Michael, thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so glad that you like the channel and find it helpful. That is my goal to help other people learn how to griddle not to show what I can do. Also congrats on the new griddle if you just got it. Have a good one buddy.

[@erlpen2016]

I just realized I had already all the accessories but I didn’t have a griddle….I even had the thermometer that we bought for the pandemic …so now that I bought the griddle today ( from sam’s club for $ 79) it is time to cook…the hardest thing to cook on a griddle most likely it would be eggs…I cooked hundreds and hundreds of eggs on different griddles until I was sick of it….yes that is what you do when you work the egg station in a restaurant…as far as the temperature on your griddle you have to learn where is your hot side and your warm side as you cook on it…I never used a thermometer in connection with a griddle in fact I never thought about connecting the two…bacon fat will season a griddle real good…

[@JohnnyBrunet]

Congratulations on the new griddle and thanks for all the tips.

[@ChaserTiponi]

I'm gonna grab me up one these. Probably 2 burner cuz I'm single most nights. BBQ has limits. These blackstones do almost everything!

For sure Jeff. I love my Big Green Egg for bbw and smoking but ya it has limits. The griddle is nice for easy stuff like a quick fried bologna sandwich.

[@johnhorchler667]

[@wyateerp1]

I like your style. Good video. Not sure if my Son N Law will clean and season one. But I want to buy him a ftat top as he likes to cook a lot of items that you need a Skillet to cook. Especially Hispanic and Europen dishes

[@JohnnyBrunet]

Thanks Tom I'm so glad you like the videos and I appreciate you watching. Yes the cleaning and seasoning is an extra step that a traditional grill doesn't have. It's not too complicated or time consuming but it is a little more. And obviously I'm biased bc I have a KZbin channel about griddling lol If you want to start small so it's a little less money just in case he doesn't like it I'd recommend a 2 burner Blackstone. Mine is the "adventure ready which can fold up and fit in a trunk or you could stash it in a garage without taking up a ton of space. That might be a better option for him. If he doesn't like it then at least it doesn't have to sit on his deck or patio year round.

New viewer here with a new griddle. I'm in my safe area here, lol, "I chose 6 beers". Here to stay sir!

[@JohnnyBrunet]

Haha awesome! Thanks so much for watching and congratulations on the new griddle! Make sure you crack a few cold ones for me when you first fire it up.

[@scottburton4236]

Great ideas. I love the videos. Oh yeah and drinking beer while cooking outside is a must..🍺Cheers.

[@JohnnyBrunet]

Thanks Scott I'm glad you liked it and I appreciate you watching. Cheers buddy 🍻🍻

[@OrdinaryRefrigirator]

Definitely gave me some Office Space vibes with that 1 hour meeting comment 😂😂

[@JohnnyBrunet]

God I love that movie. It is honestly in my top 5 comedies and I take that list very seriously.

[@ToddB1]

Great info Johnny. Hey folks, I highly recommend Johnny's E-Book. I printed it out and keep it in one of my tool drawers for quick reference.

[@JohnnyBrunet]

Thank you so much Todd for the positive referral. I really appreciate it buddy.

[@LoveShackBBQ]

Good info again brother. The bigger the griddle the more beers you’ll need for seasoning. For instance, my 22” took 6 beers. 🤪

[@JohnnyBrunet]

Oh ya more griddle = more beer for sure.

[@LoveShackBBQ]

@@JohnnyBrunet yeah man its physics, or something. Heat x Smoke + oil = 30% carbonation - inductive sperling ratio = the mass of square inches to consumption of malts. And my parents thought I was an idiot. 😆 Happy Easter bud!

[@JohnnyBrunet]

@@LoveShackBBQ hahaha I'm going to put this on a shirt! happy Easter to you as well!

[@madjack7979]

As always great info. Keepem coming

[@JohnnyBrunet]

Thanks, will do!

You're the best, thanks for the share about your passion. I like the "organic" side of griddling that the first thing you do is Christen it and make it look not new. It is now yours. Not too many things in the digital age take breaking in. To season I started with canola oil because I had about 4-5 tablespoons left and wanted to use that up. After 2 cycles with that, I started using bacon strips, one at a time - the best griddle barometer I know of. I swished the slice around with the heat full bore. The first slice of bacon would have been inedible unless you came out of the woods starved for a week. I kept cycling thru bacon slices until it didn't stick anymore and sizzled like it should. It took me about 5-6 slices to get to a point where the bacon strip wasn't coming out all mangled and kind of sooty. I have a 17" portable griddle as my 90% goto cooking apparatus. As I got near the point of it almost being seasoned, I started testing with eggs. Just like the bacon, the first one stuck really bad to the griddle, and after about 4 more sacrificial eggs, I threw a little butter down and the egg danced like it should. So my test looks for the first edible bacon or egg come off, time to eat.

[@JohnnyBrunet]

You're welcome thanks so much for watching and for the tips. Ya after I do a few coats of oil I like them throw down some bacon as well. That's always a good way to get your griddle ready to go.

Recently was gifted a blackstone 2 burner griddle. Your videos are an absolute blessing! Thanks for taking the time to show us how its done! I was definitely getting overwhelmed with all the accessories i thought i needed 😅

[@JohnnyBrunet]

Congratulations on the new griddle and I'm so happy that my videos have been helpful for you. I really appreciate you watching. And yes don't feel like you need to go out and buy 20 differ accessories. A spatula, tongs, and an infrared thermometer are all you need in my opinion.

[@davidgalvan7279]

Just ordered an infrared thermometer.

[@JohnnyBrunet]

Awesome David you won't regret it! I'm assuming by your pic that you might be doing meal prep. If you're doing a ton of chicken breast try searing them at 425 for about a minute and half per side. Then you can lower the temp down to 350 and let them finish cooking. I did like 12 chicken breast at once for a whole week of prep it was super easy.

[@dianemilligan7370]

This is excellent for new as well as intermediate griddle cooks. Thank You!

[@JohnnyBrunet]

You're welcome Diane I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks so much for watching.

[@IndyGuy65]

Johnny, I am having a bourbon because Monday staff meetings runs about an hours. My Easter dinner of ham steak and asparagus should both cook at 375 on the e-series. Cheers!

[@JohnnyBrunet]

That sounds like a delicious Easter dinner Guy! Also I got your email about the bourbons thank you so much for all the information. Now I need to go get some a feature it in a video.

[@downiep1982]

Hey man. I love your channel. I'm new to griddle cooking and live in Ireland (which really limits my outdoor time 😀). I noticed in another video you said not to keep your burners on high as you can warp the griddle. Having said that, I assume that it's ok on high for the time it takes to season the griddle? Sorry if that's a stupid question. Thanks.

[@JohnnyBrunet]

Hi!!! That's awesome you're in Ireland, I love when there's people half way around the world that watch, it still blows my mind. Yes I didn't speak clearly in that video. High for seasoning is fine and you can cook on high as well if you want. I just don't because it burns stuff and if you do a large temp jump (like put some frozen burgers down when it's over 500 degrees) it can warp it. I hope that explains it better. Thank you for watching.

[@downiep1982]

@@JohnnyBrunet Thanks, Johnny. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment. Yes, that makes perfect sense - thank you for clarifying for me. I really appreciate the advice. You're a gentleman! And I bet you get views from literally all over the world. Keep up the amazing work. Much love from Ireland.
