Everything is prepared ahead of time then goes on a super-hot Blackstone flat-top style griddle to sizzle away and cook in a matter of minutes. Your guests or family are then free to customize their own fajitas with an array of toppings. This griddle-cooked version of beoseot kimchi bokkeum bap (Korean for “mushroom kimchi fried rice”) gets extra umami from a mix of mushrooms and a veggie boost from zucchini and carrots. Topped with a sunny egg, each bowl is an all-in-one meal that’s super satisfying.
The electronic ignition ensures an instant start while the 60,000 BTU output guarantees quick heating without burning through propane inefficiently. Intuitive to use, the Blackstone features two generous side shelves and a large lower shelf for supplies. Perks also include a paper towel holder, towel hooks and a magnetic strip to hold your tools.
While it’s the easiest material to work with… It’s the worst to use outdoors. If you don’t account for this by implementing custom ventilation into your design… You will have a serious safety concern on your hands. In the case of a Blackstone griddle… You’ll have to remove the legs in preparation for installation. If you’re working with a metal frame, an insulated jacket is not required. This frame will also have to accommodate your Blackstone griddle. You’ll begin with either wood or metal for your framing material.
It is an excellent method for cooking because of the use of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and even mint. Residential and industrial griddles can be used interchangeably. Cleaning a black stone griddle isn’t really complicated, but there are a few cleaning tools and supplies that you want to invest in for proper long term maintenance.
This huge, multi-purpose item that acts as a griddle and grill combination provides two cooking options for a variety of foods. It’s your choice whether you want to use both at once or fire each side up at a time. The Blackstone 1984 Original 36-Inch Griddle Station reviewed earlier in this guide has the largest griddle surface at 768 square inches. To clean your griddle, turn the burners on high and sprinkle on some olive oil while using a scrape to push bits of food into the grease trap. If crusts remain, spray water on the surface, and they’ll loosen as the steam evaporates.
I enjoyed the addition of Traeger’s signature Pop and Lock system of accessories as I have a Traeger smoker with the same system so I can share accessories between the two. The secure roller is my favorite there, as it can be used to hold a blue paper towel or brown butcher paper with equal ease. The Flatrock has a shelf on either side of the hotplate, which can be folded down when not in use but are both solid when upright.
