Vevor 14" Griddle - Cooking Examples - More to come!

[@brianluck84]

You're the first video I've seen someone do the angled pull in the grease trough. Everyone fumbles with the bits. Pretty simple but genius at the same time !!

[@TheFoodExperience]

I've definitely seen people struggle with it and it seemed like the best method.

[@bradsimms9616]

Great video! I ordered the 21 inch version, looking forward to receiving it and trying out your suggestions! Your rice looked amazing cant wait to try and make it. Looking forward to more great videos cooking with it...

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thank you so very much! I really hope you enjoy your riddle as much as I am mine. I love making fried rice. There definitely will be more videos to come in addition to a lot of them already on my channel for the 21-in.

[@ReidChandler-o9f]

Me yelling at my computer monitor, just grab the other spatula and staph using the scraper!!!!!!!!!!! but legit I have the 21" and am just starting to use it so I appreciate all the info in this here video. Thank you sir!! The food looked delicious!

[@TheFoodExperience]

Too funny! I personally like the combination of 1 spatula and 1 scraper. I feel I have more control that way. Thank you so much for stopping by and the kind thoughts. Really appreciate it!

[@arieljazdzewska9286]

Found you at the start of 2023 and really appreciate your videos chef. I use to cook in restaurant for 6 years but became too stressful. I love these small flattop grills and seems so fun to cook restaurant quality meals from your home. I’d like to buy one of these someday if I ever have the money. They seem to be low maintenance and the food you make looks 💯very inspiring and thank you for your videos and all the work that goes into it. I hope you have a lovely new year filled with happiness✨

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in to my videos. 6 years cooking in a restaurant could be stressful. I definitely can see how that would be, These are wonderful scaled down versions of a restaurant type griddle and definitely very fun to cook on. They are also super low in price which is nice. I hope you have a lovely new year as well.

[@johnsander5171]

Nice 1 chef! That fried rice looks so good!

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thank you very much John! I love the fried rice that I make and I get so many compliments from people that have come over to try it.

Very professional type video. Love the side by side utilizing both griddles. If you keep putting out videos like this you may become a future spokesman for Vevor, kind of like Todd Toven is for Blackstone. You never know, stranger things have happened 😉

Perfect video. I love how the omelette don’t stick

[@kathyfann]

I can make that fried rice all on the 14 inch because the rice is going to be a lot less I have to have fried vegetables and a bit of rice. So I can add pork or shrimp and chicken and beef to the veggies and eggs and make house fried vegetables and meat with a bit of rice

[@youtubehandol]

what are you using to get such fine onion slices? I presume a mandolin; but what type?

[@TheFoodExperience]

You are correct I did use a mandoline. This is the one that I had used; Mueller Pro-Series All-in-One, 12... www.amazon.com/dp/B0B72DL8KL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@eddiebulls7851]

Hello and thank you for your informative videos. Question: Was wondering if you could do a short video of/on how you properly seasoned (to be non-stick) your Vevor griddle product(s)? I am interested in the product, but unfortunately, have no clue how one would properly season the griddle. Thank you.

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

This doesn’t seem to get overly smoky, which is great. Don’t have to use it outdoors. I’m loving the surface. Not a nonstick surface but things don’t stick. Diner food at home, yay. 🥘♥️

[@johnwartjr]

What is the cleanup like on the Vevor griddles?

[@TheFoodExperience]

It's pretty simple. I use a bench scraper and scrape down the top. Let it get down to around 300° and then apply light squirts of water and use a towel. I use paper towels to clean out the trough area. That's about it. It's a cast iron surface.

[@deanreutter3101]

I have the 18" grill. Only issue I have is it trips the breaker if I use it in my kitchen because it's on the same circuit as the refrigerator. I use it on my patio and no electrical problems.

[@TheFoodExperience]

This thing definitely does use a lot of amperage. I could see why it would trip the breaker when sharing the circuit with the refrigerator. I use mine on the patio sometimes too. Hope you're enjoying the device!

[@GOLFADDICT65]

awesome review thx....now i just have to decide which size to get 14 / 22 / 29 inch.....have you used the 29 and if so was it much of a difference and was it too big for the countertop ?...again great video....cheers from Canada

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thank you very much. I think they are calling the 22 a 21 now. First thing you have to consider in regards to the 29 is the electricity. The 29 uses 3000 watts and requires it to be directly wired to your breaker. The 14 and the 21 can be plugged into a standard 120 volt outlet. I thoroughly enjoy both the 14 and the 21 although the 21 is a much better size. I do notice the 14 heats up faster to higher temperatures. Although both of them easily reach temperatures over 550°.

[@thomasldinkins348]

How do you clean it after using it

[@TheFoodExperience]

Just a bench scraper and a splash of water if there's any stuck on food. Otherwise oil and paper towels. It should never look clean like it did from the factory. It's iron and needs to be seasoned as I showed in my original video.

[@thomasldinkins348]

@@TheFoodExperience ok thanks I used it the other day and I was trying to get it cleaned

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

Do you find that a lot of food goes over the edges?

[@hildalopez1252]

Beautifully seasoned!!! Love me some bacon =YUMMY!!!

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thank you very much!

[@AllAmericanMack]

Dang, you're working that fried rice like a hibachi chef! Excellent demonstration. I've wanted one of these ever since you got the 21" but I don't have the space for it.... but I just might be able to squeeze out enough space for the 14" 🤔 My Blackstone is still doing fine and hasn't developed any sticking issues but that cast iron surface and the ability to use metal utensils is practically calling my name.

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thank you so much Mack!! Damn I like this 14 so much more than the Blackstone E-Series. This thing holds its temperature better and even when there's a little temperature drop it recovers a lot faster. Not only that I was able to get this thing up to around 640°. Not that anyone would cook at that heat but it's pretty cool just to know it can do it.

[@brianluck84]

If you could only have one size would it be the 14 or the 21?

[@TheFoodExperience]

Definitely the 21. I will say that the 14 is able to reach hotter temperatures for some reason but who really needs to go over 500° anyways is my thoughts. That being said I'm able to get the 14 right up to around 680° and the 21 up to about 582. I like the extra real estate.

[@brianluck84]

@@TheFoodExperience thanks for your input, your videos helped me chose the vevor over a Blackstone. Ordered the 18 figured it would be the sweet spot between the two.

[@TheFoodExperience]

@brianluck84 You are very welcome. If you were considering the Blackstone E-Series I will just tell you now that these devices will run circles around the e series. I used to have one and they are very underwhelming plus I couldn't use metal utensils on the Blackstone E-Series. Oh yeah the 18 is a good compromise in between.

[@MrJamesWood]

Hey brother! Great videos, very informative! In fact, having purchased a Blackstone 22" recently and being someone disappointed by many factors, one being how fast it cools down when you put food on it........and takes FOREVER to get back up to temps, I'm thinking of swapping it out with one of these Vevor's (which was my gut idea to begin with, not sure why I didn't go with it). Anyway, couple quick questions: Are you happy with the size.........or is it worth it to stick with the 21" or 29"? And, it seems that the Vevor hardly loses a step when you introduce cold food to it. I'm sure it dips, as a restaurant griddle does, but it appears in your videos these griddles recover almost immediately, yes? Oh, one last one........a combination of the first two: Would your guess be that the smaller model recovers quicker because of the smaller griddle surface? Thanks for all you do!

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thank you so much brother! In regards to the Blackstone 22-in, I used to have the Blackstone 17 in E-Series. Took forever for it to recover when food was put down on it. The Vevor is a lot quicker in the recovery time. I'm definitely happy with the size of both the 14-in and 22 in. They actually called it a 21-in now because it is 21.5 in. Either case it's a perfect size. I would have gone with the 29-in however it requires to be wired directly to the breaker due to the high amp draw which is something I cannot attempt in an apartment. I imagine the 29-in would be really nice though since it has dual zones. Doesn't matter too much because the right hand side of this griddle stays quite a bit cooler at a certain point over which is why you'll see me saute veggies and stuff on the right. I also didn't care for the Blackstone because of the surface it had and having to use plastic or silicone utensils on it. The Vevor uses an ironclad surface and can really take a beating with metal utensils. Just make sure you season it well as I have outlined in a couple other videos. Once it is seasoned it is pretty much non-stick and smooth ass glass. I will definitely say that the smaller 14-in version heats up faster. They both recover pretty quick in regards to temperature drop when putting food down. I still try not to put cold food down because it will have a longer recovery time. Either case it is way better than the Blackstone and gets the hotter temperatures faster. Thanks again for watching and for your comment. If there's any other questions I would be happy to answer them.

[@MrJamesWood]

@@TheFoodExperience Ok, I'm gonna take you up on 'any other questions'........if you'd be so kind. So, since you responded to my message........in my quest to swap out my inferior 22" Eseries Blackstone with a Vevor, I've since come across a brand Dyna-Living 22" griddle. It literally looks EXACTLY like the Vevor, except their 22" has 3000 watts and doesn't need a dedicated outlet. And now I'm torn, because after watching several reviews on here, I must admit I'm attracted to the quicker heating - easier to maintain temps a 3000 watt unit offers. It's a couple bucks more, around $150'ish or so, but well worth it if it is as good as the Vevor? Any thoughts? Like, if your Vevor was hotter quicker and maintain hot temps when cooking, would that sway you? Thanks man, again........love your channel! - James

[@TheFoodExperience]

@@MrJamesWood No problem at all and I'd be happy to answer anything. The first thing that comes to mind is the power usage. It may not require to be wired into the circuit breaker like the Vevor 3000w units require however 3000 watts absolutely requires a circuit that could handle a bit over 27 amps. Most people's circuit breakers have 25 amp circuits for electrical outlets. I would check your circuit breaker before ordering something like that. You can Google how many amps are required for 3000 watts at 110/120 volts to confirm what I am saying. Really appreciate the kind thoughts brother!

[@MrJamesWood]

@@TheFoodExperience Ha! Yes, of course........I wouldn't go that route unless it was safe. Aside from that, and assuming that was a safe option.......

[@TheFoodExperience]

@MrJamesWood aside from that it looks like a decent unit. I checked it out on Amazon. How it performs. Pretty sure it has a cast iron type cooking plate like this one does. Because they mention after you're done to put oil on it so it doesn't rust. That tells me right there it's iron and it should be seasoned the same way I do with this griddle.

did you plug this vevor into a 30 amp circuit they say you have too to keep from blowing a fuse

[@TheFoodExperience]

Nope, 20 amp circuit. You're thinking of a different product from them. Their dual zone 3000 w model definitely requires a 30 amp circuit. This one will work fine even on 15 amps.

did you plug this vevor into a 30 amp circuit, they say you have too

You only need a 30 amp circuit if you purchase their dual zone 3000 w device. This device will work as low as 15 amp although 20 is recommended.

[@AnonyMous-zq6jh]

Hey bro, another nice video, I've been eyeing the 14 inch for a while now, but concerned that the actual cooking area may be about the same size as a large frying pan. There's only two of us , but I'd hate to limit myself if it turns out to be too small... As much as I'd like a larger one, we just don't have the space. On another note, why the heck aren't you a radio or sports announcer , your voice would definitely suite that , but I'm sure you've heard that before . Again thanks, and peace

[@TheFoodExperience]

Thank you so much! It's difficult to say whether or not the 14-in would be bigger or the same size or even smaller than your large fry pan. Personally I would rather use this than a fry pan. I feel like I have more control over things then an electric stove. However, a gas stove, or a gas griddle would be optimal. Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment in regards to my voice. I've definitely heard in my whole life. I even took some voice-over lessons way back when and did a couple voiceovers but it just didn't go anywhere. Very competitive field. Thanks again for your comment.

[@AnonyMous-zq6jh]

You're welcome brother, thanks for the feedback.@@TheFoodExperience

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

I think it's time vevor gave you the 29 inch so you could make a super bowl 🏈 feast with all 3 griddles. That would be incredibly fun to watch.

[@TheFoodExperience]

I really wish I could get the 29 inch. Pretty sure if I asked them they would send it to me. The only problem is I wouldn't be able to use it at this apartment due to the amperage needed to run the devices. The only way I'm getting around running two devices at the same time as they are on separate circuits. There are only two circuits in the kitchen. On the down low I'll have to be moving soon and who knows what arises when I get to the next place. Good idea though!

@ your food looked good. I was wondering because I didn’t see a hood. I’ve worked in kitchens all my life. If you cook out in the open with no hood there’s no way it won’t smell. I’m glad you had a laugh but what was so funny ??

[@TheFoodExperience]

@TBT13977 Thank you very much. No it just sounded funny with house must smell horrible. That's what gave me the laugh. I should have been more specific. Whenever I was using the griddle indoors I had ceiling fans and I would always keep a screen door open to the patio. It really didn't smell in there more than a couple hours after I made whatever I was cooking.

[@stephenschott1638]

It would be great just listening to you talk and hearing the cooking. The background music is very annoying.

This is the only video in which I ever used background music like that. I totally hear you on it being annoying. I don't really plan on doing it again like that. Fortunately I have many other cooking examples with Vevor griddles without any background music.
