Blackstone 2210 Original 36” Omnivore Griddle with Two Side Shelves, Powder Coated Steel, Black

Eggs, Burgers, Bacon, Potatoes, Pancakes, Fried Rice, Fried Cabbage, Hot Dogs, Onions, Peppers... Just a few of the things that come out amazing on a blackstone griddle. Can you obtain the same results in a cast iron skillet? For the most part...yes. But most people don't want to use a cast iron skillet correctly indoors due to the amount of smoke that can be produced when cooking at high heat and many others don't have the necessary ventilation due to recirculating hood vents / over range microwaves (as is my case...). Start by seasoning the griddle well. I'd suggest three seasonings, scrape with a scraper, one light seasoning, and then go to town cooking on it. First thing you should cook after the initial seasoning? I think it should be Bacon or Smashburgers as the high-fat foods will aid the initial seasoning process. Highly suggest lard for the initial seasoning process, although most high-heat oils will work well (don't use olive oil, for example...). Pros: - Solidly built, high quality, no doubt it will last many, many years if properly taken care of. - Even if abused, the steel griddle surface can be brought back to life through scrubbing and reseasoning. - A properly seasoned griddle is incredibly nonstick. Even without additional oil I have made eggs and burgers without issue. - Easy cleanup and you can make an impressively large amount of food on this thing. Neutral / Comments: - GET A PROPER TOOL KIT. You'll want at least two turners and a handled scraper. The blackstone premium ones work really well. An oil bottle and water bottle are also vital to have for cooking and cleaning (I use a gatorade squeeze / sports bottle for water). Egg Rings, Burger Presses, and basting covers are great tools to have as well but not strictly necessary. - At maximum heat, this grill will eat through propane relatively quickly. The most economical way to purchase propane is getting a tank refilled, as you'll get the full 20lbs rather than the 15lbs that you get when swapping your tank at an exchange point and it's usually cheaper to get a 20lb fill than a 15lb exchange. Just need to make sure the tank you're filling is less than 12 years old to comply with DOT regulations (or 10 years per U-Haul's policy). You can avoid this altogether if you have a natural gas line run for your grill and get the Blackstone natural gas conversion kit, which would be my recommended strategy if possible in your situation as it will pay for itself relatively quickly (depending on how often you use it). - Need a hard cover to prevent rust formation with a soft cover. Not the easiest thing to find right now due to the supply chain issues, but not a major fault of the manufacturer or this product itself. Cons: - Paper towel holder is useless. Any slight gust of wind will unroll them entirely. Makes a nice place to hang my tongs, though. - Instructions were not updated to cover the handle assembly on the left side of the grill properly. It does not have nuts welded to the frame as the instructions seem to indicate, but rather requires the use of the nuts in the packaging. Easily figured out and an easily forgiven mistake by Blackstone in my opinion. Review is in relation to the 36", 4 Burner Model with cutting board and paper towel holder.

The title of this review says it all. WE purchased this to replace a high end grill that was no longer working properly. Assembly was easy - in fact, the grill came mostly assembled. It took me about 30-40 minutes to complete by myself. The grill lights easily at the push of a button. I cannot stress the importance of proper grill seasoning. There is another review on here that really goes in to detail on the steps, and we follow his direction using the Crisbee to season it. We did about 3 seasoning cycles and the grill was perfect. We've been cooking on this non stop since we got it. Burgers, hot dogs, eggs, pancakes, fried rice - you name it. Everything comes out perfect. It's easy to clean as well. JUst using a grill scraper keeps it clean for the next use. A couple of things you should consider purchasing along with it: 1. Cast Iron Oil - spritz a little on the griddle before you cook. It will keep the non-stick surface in tact and make cleanup easy. 2. Grill toolkit - Get one with a scraper, spatula, ect.. We got one with egg cups in it too - fun! 3. Crisbee seasoning - Either the puck or the stick. They worked fantastic to season the grill. 4. A waterproof cover of some type. You will need to put something under it to keep water from pooling on the griddle. I made a triangle out of wood and it does the trick just fine. This is, by far, the best grill I have ever used. My family has really enjoyed the food prepared on it!

The product is well made, VERY heavy duty, versatile, easy to use, and portable if needed. I assemble by picture, so I can't comment on the accuracy of assembly instructions, but I had no problem getting the grill together in 30 minutes (including un-packaging which took most of the time). I've used cast iron pots a lot, so using this griddle was easy for me, but if you're not used to using cast iron, carefully review and follow the steps to properly season and maintain the cooking surface. Don't skip steps seasoning the griddle! So far, I've cooked pancakes, sausage, bacon, steak, hamburgers, grilled vegetables and steamed vegetables with outstanding results. All MUCH easier and better results than a standard grill! The cooking surface maintains a more even heat and with four burners it's very easy to have different cooking zones for different foods all at the same time. I found that getting the griddle up to a medium temperature, then starting from one side turning the first burner off, the rest to low, medium, high respectively gives COMPLETE temperature variation without further adjustment. If it's too hot, I just move the food to the lower area. I highly recommend this griddle! I also recommend getting the hard cover for the grill, a waterproof grill cover, and the disposable drip pans. Spatulas and tongs are my preferred grill tools and the Blackstone grill accessories toolkit (does not include tongs) is dishwasher safe which I find to be a must. I am completely satisfied with this grill!
