Blackstone Electric Griddle

My brother recently sent us a Blackstone Electric Griddle that my mother has fallen in love with. He got one after seeing the one our cousin had while on vacation. I used his a few times and he said we needed one. Since he got a big promotion and wanted to do something for Ma he sent us this. 

Let me tell y’all this is the greatest ever! We have used a Blackstone before, in fact you may remember us getting one a few years ago from the amazing folks at Blackstone. It is large and goes outside. We still love it but I never thought about one for the kitchen. This has been a game changer.

First let me say, I wish it was a little lighter. It’s not overly heavy, about as heavy as a large cast iron skillet. I would just like a little lighter. There is a cover which we don’t use but you certainly can. I don’t want to have to clean it which is why I always take it off before I start cooking. I imagine cleaning this would be like the oven door and I hate doing that. 

The nonstick surface is so nice. This is the 17 inch but they do have a 22 inch. I will say that if you like this check out your local Walmart. Their prices are much cheaper than anyone else. That is who my brother ordered this one from and it was around $147. 

We can fit a lot on here! We made t bone steaks that were pretty large and were still able to add two smaller one. The biggest thing I love is that I can cook so much at one time.

Breakfast has become much simpler. I can toast the bread, fry some eggs, and make sausage without having to use more than one pan. Not to mention it doesn’t heat up the kitchen like the stove does. 

Cleaning up is a breeze too. Just wait for it to cool down, take the griddle off the base (it just lifts off) and wash it with a soft rag or sponge. The grease trap at the back slides right off and you can pour out the grease then clean it quickly as well. They do make some little inserts to help with all of this. I have them on order right now. 

Now, you can’t use metal spatulas on this one. Not like the big one outside. So my brother got us the tools we would need. They are plastic, although rubber ones will work as well. It came with two spatulas and a pair of tongs.

The other kit is the breakfast kit. It has two egg rings (you saw those earlier), a pancake batter pitcher which helps give you perfectly round pancakes every time, and a press. The press is metal but it sits on top of your food like meat so it doesn’t scratch the surface. 

This is the best gift we have ever received! At least a pretty great one in a while. My brother is such a brown noser! 🙂
