Why Should You Use the Blackstone Griddle?
I’ve had my flat top grill for years! Everything I’ve made on it comes out perfectly. Steaks are seared beautifully, something you can’t get on a grill. Asparagus gets a nice flavor without going soggy. Chicken and pork chops are tender and juicy every time. Shrimp is finished in minutes! These are just some of the reasons why I absolutely love flat top cooking.
The Blackstone griddle is a perfect tool for your backyard cookout! Classic cookout dishes like smash burgers, hot dogs and even corn on the cob are quick and easy to make. The recipes I’ve provided below are prepared almost exactly the same as with any other method, but are now cooked to perfection even faster.
