My parents owned a carry out ( ie restaurant where you buy and leave , no seating ) and so I grew up around griddles.

It's just my opinion that all kitchens should be equipped with griddles , and then maybe one or two burners for liquid boiling.

Things griddles do better:

- overall speed of cooking
- cooking more food
- much less messy , both while cooking and less dishes
- better heat management via zones
- surface lasts a lifetime
- easier to clean , faster to clean
- more versatile

Things burners do better :
- boil liquid
- cooking meals for a single person a handful of times a week

Once you get a griddle ( which is not that hard) .. you'll wonder why these aren't the default cooking surfaces for everyone. You can cook up a four course breakfast for 8 people in 10 minutes, and clean the whole thing grease and all in less than 30 seconds. Just pour water into the hot surface , swipe with your griddle knife thingy and good to go.

I have only owned a grill forever. I downsized to a Weber spirit 2 burner that has about the same cooking surface area as a Blackstone 22". In the winter, my grill gets little use but a " portable" Blackstone is tempting as I can store it in the garage and set it up quickly just outside my garage even in the winter months.

Two of my neighbors got Blackstones last year and swear by it, they barely use their grill now. They say burgers are amazing.

My kids love smashburgers from Culver's. My family loves breakfast on a griddle (bacon, pancakes, French toast, eggs). These are all things I can sort of do on an old electric griddle indoors but it makes a mess and isn't ideal for everything.

Also been wanting to do hibachi, yakisoba and more griddle cooking.

While I could add a cast iron griddle to to my Weber, I like the idea of a separate Blackstone type griddle with a convenient grease collection system that doesn't drip into the burner area. Also with it being portable, I can use it anywhere and foresee getting more use out of it especially in the winter months.

Although I live in a nice custom home, the original owner wasn't much of a cook and didn't design a proper vented range hood into the kitchen area. It's just one of those worthless metal mesh things with a light and circulation fan. So if I cook bacon or hamburgers or whatever, my kitchen gets smoky and the house smells like food for a week. Outdoor griddle is a game changer for me.

Question for all,
Should people buy Blackstone?
No. It is just an overpriced electric griddle that everyone's grandma has stuck in the back cupboard because they rarely are worth using but seemed like a good idea at the time.

if it gets smoky cooking burgers or bacon, you are cooking at too high of a temperature. Bacon is best done in the oven, anyway. If it smokes, your are near the flash point of the grease/oil, and that is TOO hot.

If you want to be a Youtuber, either as a main gig or a side hustle, portable cooking tops are a must. Whatever you make out of this griddle, for example, will be the most delicious, flavorful, nutritious, and beautifully presented.

Walmart now sells Ozark Trail cast Iron instead of Lodge. $10? You get what you pay for.

Cleaning wise, nothing compares to a Griddle (brand wise doesn't really matter). Cleaning a gas grill/pellet/charcoal is a PIA.

It's not electric...

Why do people jump in these threads just to make an ass of themselves? Rice cooker deal posts are another.

Try to cook an entire stir fry on your $10 skillet. How does 8 smashburgers work on your tiny skillet in the kitchen getting grease everywhere?

Yeah, but how do steaks turn out on these?

Serious question as I've been looking at these as a replacement grill for my RV and curious how steaks turn out. Obviously, you don't get the grill marks, but that is just for aesthetics but do these get hot enough to sear the meat?
