New to the Griddle game

[jfmorris]

Interesting. I've avoided doing wings on the flat top, as I figured they wouldn't cook evenly due to the irregular shape of the drumettes.

sroney Steve I think Attjack covered all the bases, but what I have cooked on my Camp Chef FTG900 in the past year include:

• Breakfast foods such as bacon, eggs, pancakes, sausage.
• Lots of smash burgers, usually also doing some toppings like grilled onions, and toasting buttered buns on the griddle at the end of the cook. I like the "Diner Burger" recipe on the free side of AR (Wimpy Burgers).
• Lots of asian style stir fries - protein of your choice (chicken, steak, shrimp), rice, mixed veggies, eggs, spices, all incorporated into a big mound of awesome goodness.
• Tacos or fajitas, both steak and chicken. You can fix the meat and the peppers and onions, then warm the tortillas.
• Flank steak (for tacos)
• Steak, chops, chicken.
• Shrimp (scampi style).
• Fish
• Flatbreads (naan or pita)
• And probably more stuff I am not thinking of.

Basically I have found I like using the griddle better than my Weber gas grill for anything thin that is conducive to direct heat cooking. Things I would not include would be large irregular cuts of meat, or bone in chicken. Those still go to my other grills.

You'll love it. Burgers and breakfast are popular. I love doing wings on the flat top, you get a great overall sear on steaks and chops. Pulled pork hash, scallops, garlic shrimp and Tilapia are also favorites. Not much you can't cook on it.
Happy grillin!!

Smash burgers are probably my favorite to cook. Breakfast is super easy and fast. Tacos, burritos, and quesadillas are no-brainers. Refried beans on the Blackstone are outstanding.

Unusual uses…toast. Ok, maybe not unusual, but at Thanksgiving when I’m making 6 lbs of stuffing (my family really likes stuffing) I toast it all on the griddle before chopping for stuffing. It’s a huge time saver. If you aren’t toasting your stuffing bread first you’re missing a whole dimension of flavor!

Got my 36” Blackstone two years ago and it is by far my most used cooker. My smoker still gets its usual time, but my charcoal/wood grill is now used only for steaks and tri-tip.

Thank you. I think Cheese steaks will be awesome to cook on this. I am really looking forward to trying this cooker.

[sroney]

I'm thinking it will be very versatile. Just wanted to see what everyone else is doing.

[sroney]

I was going to go bigger. But I decided to make sure I would use it first.

[sroney]

That all looks awesome. I've got some work to do...

You put my taco night to shame Attjack , that said try ya some cheese steak sroney or anything you would normally cook through it on the griddle ,it a breeze to clean up as an added bonus,
I keep onion,pepper,cheese,bacon potatoes on hand . those items are universal for flat top cookin

Bacon! Seriously, I used the griddle for just about everything. Stir fry, burgers, breakfast, etc. I use this cooker more than any other.

[Jfrosty27]

I have a little 17” and still expanding my experience with it. But I do know a couple things:

There seems to be little limit to what you can do with a griddle.

I want a bigger one. 😊

Have fun.

Carne asada, fish tacos, teppan yaki, pancakes. My pix don't look nearly as awesome as Attjack's though. I've got to try some of those.
