Anyone have one of these outdoor (or indoor, I don't care how you use it) griddles like the Blackstone? Basically, it's a propane fired steel griddle in various sizes - I have a 36". If you've ever been to a hibachi restaurant where they cook in front of you, basically one of those.
This is a place for sharing. What do you have, what do you like to cook on it?
I broke mine in this weekend with some fried rice, KC strip, and mixed veggies. It wasn't perfect, but it was damn good.
I'm thinking about doing some smashburgers this weekend, or maybe a big breakfast - bacon, french toast, hash browns. [Reply]
I tried posting an image but it’s too blurry. Cooked fried rice, zucchini, onions, broccoli, mushrooms, and chicken with it. The grill temp was definitely high. Much better than yesterday. I unscrewed the regulator and put it back on. I don’t know if that helped but the grill was nice and hot tonight. [Reply]

What did you do for sauce? Just soy sauce, or did you do anything else.
I did some more rice this weekend, and it was probably the best fried rice I've ever made. I made two significant changes: first, I seasoned with some house seasoned salt (4 parts salt, 1 part pepper, 1 part garlic powder); second, I instead of plain soy sauce, I made a very basic tare sauce:

Boil for 5 minutes and cool.
Using that sauce made the biggest difference. It was damn tasty. [Reply]
Hey DJ.... slightly off topic, but have you ever tried putting a baking stone directly on your grill for pizzas? I've got the Kettle, and it makes great pizza, but wondering if I could get similar results by putting the stone on my gas grill (on full blast, I can get it over 600F). [Reply]

I didn’t have much ingredients on hand. I went with 2/3 cup low sodium soy sauce, 4 Tbs brown sugar, 1 tsp corn starch, and some water. It wasn’t a blow your mind delicious sauce but it was better than nothing. I have two little girls who are extremely picky.
Had my buddy and his family over for dinner Saturday night. He bought one on Amazon this morning. [Reply]

I learned the hard way. I just built a hard cover this weekend with some plywood and 2x2 furring strips. It's not pretty, but it's functional, and $20 in product was a lot better than $100-$150 I was seeing online for the metal ones built for it. [Reply]
