r/blackstonegriddle

Hey Blackstone community! I got my griddle last year, and have been very happy with. Recently took my Blackstone out of storage for the summer season, and the seasoning seems to be cracking or flaking in some spots. How would you go about this? Do I need to re-season? Sand it down? Other options? Any advice is very much appreciated!

YOU DON’T NEED POWER TOOLS. And those neglected side or the road finds or “my brother in law gave me his Blackstone he stopped using 2 years ago” and are covered in rust don’t need an angle grinder or sand blaster. Just get the Blackstone restoration kit and a jar of their griddle seasoning. It’ll take about an hour of your time, most of which is just waiting.

No, I don’t get any money from you clicking the Walmart links and buying the stuff. Just tired of seeing so many people ask about how to save their griddle. It’s even worse than all the new seasoning questions that ask the same question by 10 people a day.

Just bought this Blackstone at Costco. Went to do my first wash/season, did my warm soap mixture, thought I got it all, looks like there's some soap residue and tiny bits of this rag that I used to wash it. I turned the heat all the way up to get it hot to apply my seasoning, and discovered this. I obviously don't want to season this with this stuff on here so will reclean it, but my question is, basically, this will all come out in the next wash, if I used a sponge or whatever, right?

I won't be able to get to this until tomorrow, am I doing long-term damage by having attempted to clean it like this, kinda failed, and then leaving it until the afternoon tomorrow? I recognize this is dumb and nooby but I just bought this and don't want it to be ruined 😭

Ty for your help

Might be just as good as Hibachi

My second time cooking for the family on the blackstone, and I just googled “best family meal on blackstone”. AI gave me this hibachi recipe with day old cooked rice, chicken, scrambled eggs, zucchini, mushrooms, and onions, all seasoned with soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Everything came out great, and the kids ate too, which is a major bonus!

I cooked the eggs, set them aside, chopped the veggies, seasoned them with soy sauce and s+p, and cooked them, and set them aside, chopped and cooked the chicken, set that aside, then got the rice nice and crispy before mixing everything together.

Having a few bowls and space to put them was nice to have with an outdoor table (my kitchen isn’t that big), and this is quickly becoming my favorite way to cook for the family. I’ll have to try this recipe again with steak in a couple weeks for some friends!

What are your favorite family meals to cook?

First seasoning on brand new 36” blackstone. Did 6 coats. How does it look

Basic Chicken Philly cheese steak sandwiches. Forgot to take a picture on the griddle, but here they are after I pulled them off and assembled with a side salad.

Griddle tip after a brutal NJ winter.

Well I was I told I needed to post if I ruined it after my first cook. How we looking?

Just asking if this is rust or I just need to reseason this area

First smeshboigas since Feb or March & they ripped. They are paired with homemade fries. Only thing id change is make my own smash sauce & maybe have the patties a lil thicker & bigger

Also for those curious, no blue star on my Sarsaparilla ☹️

Hi! I just bought a used Blackstone and it came with some “tools”. What are these things for??

Ok so I attempted smash burgers but they turned out more like mildly squished burgers but still delicious 😋 I guess a press will be my next accessory!
