COOKING TIPS

LOW HEAT:

Cooks slowly and requires more time.

Breaks down connective tissue and fat for a tender, moist meal.

• Fatty, thick cuts of meat.

(eg: pork shoulder, brisket, chicken thighs, short ribs)

• Delicate seafood (eg: octopus, squid)

MEDIUM HEAT:

Stable heat, takes the average time you’d expect for pancakes, eggs,

toast, and more.

For food more susceptible to heat. Sear without overcooking.

• Fish (whole or in pieces)

• Most seafood

• Vegetables (steam with the Blackstone Basting Dome for best avor)

• Pancakes

• Eggs

HIGH HEAT:

Cooks meals fast and in little time.

Slow cooking would dry up these cuts and make them horrible to eat

since they are lower on fat.

• Lean cuts of meat. (eg: chicken breast, tenderloin, skirt steak, ank)

!DANGER

•DO NOT operate this appli-

ance any closer than 8

inches from the sides of the

appliance, 8 inches from the

not followed exactly, a fire

causing death or serious

injury may occur.

!DANGER

PROTECTING YOUR

GRIDDLE TOP

Store griddle in a cool, dry loca-

tion. Always cover griddle if stored

outdoors. Choose from a variety of

griddle covers oered by Blackstone.

When protecting griddle with so

cover, use the “tenting” method to

prevent water from accumulating

on griddle top. “Tenting” involves

placing an object (a bowl, tennis

ball or PVC pipe) beneath so cover

in the center of griddle in order to

allow water to slide o. “Tenting”

helps prevent rust.

FIRST TIME CLEANING

GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE:

Blackstone Griddles are pre-treated

with cooking oil to prevent rust and

damage during shipping. For rst

time use, wash griddle with hot,

soapy water.

THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU

SHOULD USE SOAP ON THE

GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE.

Rinse and dry completely. Proceed

with seasoning instructions. (Please

reference the Griddle Seasoning

Instructions section.)

!WARNING

NEVER APPLY COLD

WATER ACROSS THE

WHOLE SURFACE OF A

HOT GRIDDLE AT ONCE.

This may cause warping.

Adding a large amount

of cold or frozen food (or

food with significant water

content) to a hot griddle may

cause griddle to warp.

!CAUTION

DO NOT USE SOAP ON

THE GRIDDLE COOKING

SURFACE. This will destroy

the griddle’s seasoning.

BURNER FLAME CHECK

Always check burner flame

before use.

STEP  Light burners and rotate

knobs from high to low. When knob

is at high, ames should be larger

than when knob is at low.

STEP  Perform burner ame

check by looking below cooking

top on the side of unit to view

burners below.

If there is a sudden drop or low

ame issue, please reference the

Troubleshooting chapter.

BURNER MAINTENANCE

In most circumstances, burning

residue o after cooking will keep

burner clean.

• Ensure that the ow of combus-

tion and ventilation air is

not obstructed.

• Burner should be removed and

cleaned annually or whenever

heavy build-up or insects/insect

nests are found in order to ensure

that there is no blockage in the

burner portholes or venturi tubes.

• Use pipe cleaner to clear obstruc-

tions. A wire brush may be used to

remove corrosion from the burner

surfaces.

MATCH LIGHTING

INSTRUCTIONS

Before beginning, check for gas

leaks. (Please reference the

Leak Test Instructions in the Fuel

chapter.)

STEP  Ensure control knob is

in OFF position.

STEP  Remove cooking top.

STEP  Light a match (or long

lighter) no shorter than 11 inches

long. Place the ame on the right or

le side of the burner.

STEP  Push in and turn the

control knob to the HIGH position.

Section 03

GRIDDLE SEASONING INSTRUCTIONS

For best results, we recommended seasoning the griddle before

cooking on griddle top.

STEP  Make sure griddle top

is wiped clean of debris. (For rst

time cleaning, please reference the

Cleaning Your Griddle Top section.)

Blackstone griddle tops are pre-treated

with soy oil as a protective coating.

This coating may leave a discoloration

on the griddle top. This is normal and

will not affect the seasoning process.

STEP  Set your griddle to high

heat until your griddle top changes

color. Use tongs to hold a paper

towel or cotton cloth and spread 2-3

tablespoons of your seasoning oil

across the griddle surface.

When seasoning your griddle top,

remember to use a thin and even layer

of oil—the thinner the layer of oil, the

easier it will be to burn it off.

STEP  You will know it is done

when it stops smoking. You will

want to repeat this 3-4 times for

your initial seasoning.

The heat of the griddle will break

down the oil and bond it to the metal,

creating a new polymer that acts as a

stick resistant and protective layer over

the griddle.

TOOLS NEEDED: Cooking tongs,

Paper towels, and Cooking oil

PLEASE NOTE: Small variations in manu-

facturing and raw materials can cause some

griddles to be slightly warped. A slight warp

will disappear when the griddle is heated in

preparation for cooking.

Care & Maintenance

ENGLISH

!CAUTION

Customers in humid or

coastal climates may

require more frequent

seasonings and the use of

heavier cooking oils to avoid

rusting and corrosion.

WHY DO I NEED TO

SEASON MY GRIDDLE?

Seasoning leaves a hard protective

layer bonded to the steel surface.

• Natural stick resistance.

• Prevents rust and corrosion.

WHAT OIL IS BEST TO

USE?

The Blackstone Seasoning and

Cast Iron Conditioner is the best

and easiest way to get consistent

results. This unique blend of oils

combines the best of many dierent

cooking oils.

Can I use any food grade oil?

Yes, but dierent oils can vary in the

process from the burn time, smoke

point, and durability once nished.

If you prefer to use an animal fat for

seasoning, do not use bacon. Pure lard

will work as it does not have the same

additives as bacon.

For additional trouble-

shooting, please reference the

Troubleshooting and F.A.Q. chapters.

SYMPTOMS

01. Aer seasoning, the griddle surface is not black.

02. Food is sticking to the griddle surface.

POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION

01. Too much oil was used.

02. You turned o the heat too soon.

First, turn your griddle on high and let it

heat for 10-15 minutes.

Next, scrape o as much of the thick-

ened and partially cooked oil as you can.

Then, re-season with a very thin layer

of oil.

POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION

01. The corners and edges do not have

the same access to the direct heat

of the burners, making it harder for

the seasoning to darken like the

rest of the griddle top.

Apply a thin layer of oil between cooks

to maintain seasoned cooking surface.

(Please reference the Cleaning your

Griddle Top section.)

Aer using your griddle for multiple

cooks, the seasoning will even out and

improve.

CLEANING YOUR GRIDDLE TOP

STEP  To clean griddle aer

each use, cool griddle below 300° F.

Scrape food debris with spatula or

straight metal scraper.

CLEANING THE GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE

STEP  Wipe down griddle

surface with paper towel.

STEP  Divide griddle surface

into approximately 6" sections

(width of scraper tool). Apply a

small amount of water onto rst

section with a bottle and then

scrape the water and debris toward

the grease trap. Move to the next 6"

section and repeat.

DO NOT USE MORE THAN TWO

TABLESPOONS OF WATER

AT A TIME.

1/4 cup of table salt may be used to

bu o stuck food residue.

STEP  Wipe again with a

paper towel and dry completely.

STEP  Apply thin coat of

cooking oil to maintain seasoning

and protect the griddle top.

!DANGER

DO NOT place flammable

items on side shelves

near the griddle. Aerosol

containers are particularly

hazardous because they

can overheat and result in

an explosion, fire, severe

personal injury, or death.

!WARNING

DO NOT place oily or greasy

towels near the griddle

unit as they can sponta-

neously combust.

!CAUTION

The grease tray must be

removed and emptied

after each use.

Do not remove grease

tray until griddle has

completely cooled.
