This big breakfast on the Traeger Flatrock griddle is our 2nd cook on the new flat top grill from Traeger, and we really put it to the test! For this griddle breakfast, we made our favorite muffin mix pancakes (like a cross between muffins and pancakes - made with packaged muffin mix), hash browns, bacon, sausage, omelettes, and over easy eggs. And the Traeger Flatrock performed beautifully!
Cooking a big breakfast on the griddle, with hash browns and pancakes especially, really teaches you a lot about a new griddle. That’s because with the light color and flat surface of pancake batter and shredded hash browns you can really see the temperature zones and the hot and cool spots on the griddle. If some of your pancakes are darker, that means that they were sitting in a hotter spot. The lighter color on certain pancakes shows you that you’ve got a cooler spot.
But for this Traeger griddle breakfast, the pancakes cooked incredibly evenly… even when a different burner was on high. Overall, I was very impressed with the “true zone cooking”, and how quickly the griddle responded to a change in the temperature knobs.
What I have I learned so far about the Traeger Flatrock Flat Top Grill, now that I’ve got a few cooks under my belt? You’ll have to watch me make this giant griddle breakfast to find out!

Have to drive 45 minutes one way to another city that has more grocery stores to look for that mix. Hopefully I will find it there. Thank you once again. Have a good one.

Pretty awesome cook. I am fairly new to griddling but love it. We bought a small Blackstone for our RV to fill the spot of the gas grille in the outdoor kitchen. The griddle adds so much flavor to the cook. I have been a Traeger person for several years and love their products. I keep upgrading my smoker as they come out with new ones. I believe in Traeger's design and build teams. Their customer service is phenomenal. I will be getting one of these griddles as soon as I can find one. Not easy to find right now as they ramp up production.

I'm still a Blackstone fan, but really like this Traeger... Except for the grease hole placement.. I so like the rear center slot trap on the Blackstone. Out of the way, if you level it just right, you can have the grease flow to the back and not mess with your cooking and moving the food around flip, serve, etc.. Plus, the electric Air Fryer on the Blackstone trumps any other grill so far for what I use the whole package for. :)

Time on the heat is key. Imagine putting a cast iron pan over a burner on the stove. While the handle is never over the burner, at some point the heat through the cast iron will eventually reach the handle and burn your hand. Traeger has smartly designed a system to limit the amount of time that bleed over occurs,,,but rest assured, if you leave it on long enough that heat will spread. I think you did a nice job of demonstrating that the Traeger system allows you to control the heat zones for a longer period of time. Thanks for the video.

I have a Pitt boss Sierra (Walmart version of the ultimate), and have been REALLY disappointed with the build quality. I had the camp chef on my list as replacement, but wondering if the camp chef is closer to the Pitt boss in terms of build quality than it is the traeger? Is the camp chef pretty solid, or do they all have a flimsy quality to them compared to the traeger?

What are your thoughts on lightly sanding the top with a high grit sandpaper prior to seasoning it?
@TheFlatTopKing
@TheFlatTopKing Ай бұрын
so I am going to try to keep this short...but hang with me... I have actually done that and honestly not that impressed..' this griddle did not have uneven high spots...more of even roughing...hard to explain but.... after seasoning this...I think since the griddle was so peaky and valley....but even...the amount of layers of oil was more than normal....thus creating a fantastic thick layer thats been the best to date..

The temp control on that thing looks to be pretty impressive. I hope enough folks are paying attention to how you work those variations. All those folks who gripe about the price might miss that there's value in zone temp management that may be worth a premium for better outcomes.

if you had to do it over again (a year later) would you sand down the rough surface of the flatrock before initial seasoning? I suspect it doenn't make a difference, other than the number of initial seasoning cycles you have to go through.

100 not… and because of that decision… I have actually stopped doing that method. I think the roughness helps deeper layers of seasoning stick… thin yes but more layers.
