Most "for beginners" videos only cover common sense things and aren't really informative. This was genuinely helpful. well done.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Andrew

[@GrimaldiSound]

hahaha I absolutely love when your wife corrects you from behind the camera! It's hilarious!! Just bought my first flattop and have been watching your videos! Keep it up!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

ahhahha as they say..welcome to married life....she still does it...

[@danstan3359]

This is how all cuts burn with different seasonings. You had the griddle on too high from the start. Its cooking 101. not just griddle cooking. It definitely taught me how hot these get. You are 100% right about never turning the heat up all the way. Thanks! I learned a lot

[@jerryjohanan1940]

I love it how your wife corrects you from time to time it reminds me of my wife

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Time to Time?????? ahahahahah Ever second hhahahahah

[@PaulTompert]

I just tried cleaning as you go. What a difference!!

[@BPRescue]

I have watched many of your videos now and as a result, pulled the trigger on a Blackstone. I fought this as my last miracle device was an expensive Traeger which has been disappointing at best. Moving on, after trying Freddy's Steakburgers and finding the best burger I ever tasted, but living very rural, 4 hours away with poor restaurants, I purchased the Blackstone in town from Costco for $369. My first use was breakfast with mixed results, poor on hash browns, but excellent for scrambled eggs/bacon. As you say in many videos, it helped me learn the zones on my griddle which is helpful to move food across the griddle accordingly. And just like normal cooking, it is about trying different things until you nail it. In that regard I have found this griddle to be of great potential and excited. This was emphasized when my very first attempt at Smashburgers was shockingly successful, with my wife stating it was the best homemade burger she has ever eaten, and I will say the best I have had outside of Freddy's. Still excellent and far surpassed any burger I have done in 30 years on the grill, stove or Traeger. In short, it just justified the purchase of this Blackstone. Your videos helped immensely in timing of what to cook first, but also every aspect of cooking the smashburger itself. I bought a stainless 6" round burger press vs. the rectangular one you use and it is heavy and allows great control. My wife was talking to me when I was cooking the very 1st smashburger, and I thought I overcooked it after I turned it. But your instruction in using the spatula angled to cut it off is a game changer allowing great control, even at different sides is what allows success and once I turned it, I realized it was probably Ok, so I kept it for myself and it was perfect. The aspect I love about these smashburgers is the crispy edges, but also having this texture across the surface. My wife was surprised at the full taste, and I gave her your explanation of now with having 2 patties you have double the surface area for this Maillard reaction and juices. I still think I can improve as I like the edges a little crispier, and I think I did over pack the meatball slightly, but was shocked that my first smashburger was an incredible success. Now maybe I can do 2 burgers at once, but not worried since these are so quick and I pop it over to warm while other burgers cook. I also struggled with griddle size given price and that my kids are 17 & 19 and with sports/school, mostly just my wife and I for dinner now. I found I could get a Blackstone 22" griddle with mandated steel cover for $350 on Amazon, but found a 36" at Costco. I thought the 36" was exceedingly large/overkill which is why I also considered the 22". Even with a couple uses under the belt I believe the smaller griddle would have been a mistake, even cooking for 2. Per your point on getting to know your zones, I found that 4 zones and a 36" griddle allows excellent control. I have found that after preheating all zones on low, then turning off the 1st zone on the left allows me to use it as a warming zone, with the middle 2 zones for high heat cooking, and the last zone used for lower heat cooking like sauteing vegetables, or slower meats like bacon. The temps of my Costco griddle vary so I can use front/right side while these 3 zones are on low, even manipulate the middle 2 zones as meat cools the griddle. It works perfectly, where I can imagine having less zones, especially 2 on the 22" model far more difficult, where you are now dealing with the different items you are cooking either have to be removed and cold, or left on to overcook. So, I will say the 36" with 4 zones allows much more control and a better result without frustration of cooling, burning, but also crowding the griddle. You can cook multiple items at the same time, often without cross contaminating if that is an issue. In the end I am happy I purchased the 36" model, and excited this will be another win/heavily used product like my Paragon Theater Pop 6 popcorn maker that is irreplaceable. Anyway, thank you for all your tips, I did subscribe which I never do...

Congratulations!

[@barbarahoyle8615]

Turn griddle on first. Pre-heat on 300 F low so that griddle does not bend.Make eggs and bacon and get comfortable with settings. Make hotdogs or hamburgers first. Dry Chicken salted on the sides, baste in BBQ sauce later. Any marinade creates a cleaning issue. Sauce cools down the heat. TIPS and TRICKS. RIGHT SIDE is hotter ? KNOW your ZONES before you cook for company.

[@simplyme9269]

Very helpful thx❤❤

[@JosephBKeen]

Thanks for the tips. I just bought a griddle but I bought, the steelmade indoor version for over my gas stove. I know that isn't as high speed as the stuff a lot of you are using, but I've been going through a lot of your videos for tips and plus recipe ideas. You've given me a ton of ideas right off rip, so thank you for the that. I figure an indoor version vs an outdoor version will have some variation, but I think a lot of what you are showing us applies to some degree or other, so again thank you for that!

Thanks Joe.....

[@e.t.preppin7084]

I’ve only used my griddle twice. A whole lot more work to clean up than my Weber gas grill with a cast iron grate which I have well seasoned. I’m reluctant to dirty up the griddle now when I love cooking on my grill. Thanks for the videos. Hopefully you will show something that inspires me to try again. 👍

Have you checked out the Pit Boss ultimate griddle. You dont have the seasoning and maintenance….

No but I will. Thanks

[@sirtango1]

Sugar starts to burn around 300-325 degrees. I used to do a ton of cooking on smokers doing BBQ. I have wanted a flat top griddle for a while. Instead of building my own I bought a pit boss 2 burner after catching it on sale. I don’t do the big cooks anymore so I’m going to use the griddle for breakfast mainly. Mostly for the family. Anyone familiar with cooking in cast iron shouldn’t have a problem with seasoning a flat top. Love your videos and Thank You for your service!

45 years ago the place I worked the cook would, between doing burgers and bacon would pour a little bit of seltzer water or club soda on the grill to clean it between cooking and then also at the end of the night, that is what she used to clean off the crud and then in the morning before she would start cooking she always sprinkled the grill down with salt lightly!! She had the most beautiful griddle!! 👍🏼😂😁

All excellent points about grilling for beginners. The analogy with cooking breakfast was perfect in understanding the cooking process. I would much prefer pulling the scraper while cleaning towards myself also. I guess it depends where the opening is on the griddle, but it just seems more natural to me too. It's something someone buying there first griddle might want to think about. In a previous video I watched you did your demo on Pitt Boss Ceramic, Camp Chef and Blackstone. I was curious as I must have missed it, but what are the surfaces of Camp Chef and Blackstone made of. It doesn't look like stainless steel, and I was curious about a stainless steel flat top. Great Video!

This one should be your big click and subscribe generator, good job. This is why the jump from Charcoal King to Flat Top King was golden.

Thanks. Bob. What griddle did you show with the two burgers on it in our group. Looks different than most.

@@TheFlatTopKing It's a smaller 23" I use when just doing something for me and the bride. As you can see from the knobs it's got three burners, 8500btu each. As I mentioned to Amy it's no longer available on Amazon, but I also gave her a second response that had an Amazon link and some specs.

Just got my first grill ever (sad cause I’m 29). But I’ve been in the military and constantly moving so haven’t had one. Anyways, I love your videos, I’m about to go season mine. I’ve already learned a lot from your videos, just today from watching. Appreciate the educational content!!
