😂 I'm surprised no one commented on the rebranding of the griddle!

I’m very happy to you take care of yourself during this process. Staying hydrated is very important to the process! Cheers! 🍻

Great video! I just put my Blackstone together yesterday and will be seasoning today! Thanks for sharing!

That's a sweet griddle you've got. I like that you basically season it like cast iron. Looking forward to seeing your cooks you make on it.

Awesome bud!! I'm about to go and season my table top griddle. Its 9:00 am, but I'm off for two weeks, so I guess I can stay properly hydrated during the process. Lol. Thanks man. Can't wait to use this today

So informative!!! If we’re ever lucky enough to get our hands on one of these gorgeous Blackstones, we will be seasoning it up with your advice on mind!!! Bring on the smash burgers!!!!!🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏🤤🤤🤤🤤

Great tip on seasoning of a flat-top griddle thank you for sharing

I noticed when you were letting it heat up initially, some of the surface was starting to "blue". Would it be a good idea to let as much of it blue as possible before seasoning, or does it matter? I know with something like a carbon steel wok, you want to get as much of it to blue as possible before seasoning.... Does the same thing apply to these griddle surfaces, or do you risk it warping if you do that? Just curious. thank you for your video! I just got my new Blackstone and cant wait to start using it.

Yes Grill Sergeant! Thank you for conditioning my body and mind. Feel free to do it anytime. You are correct in how you clean and season the Blackstone. I enjoy the hell out of mine and stay hydrated all the time.

Thanks for this video I just got myself a new 36 in culinary series with hood at Lowe's can't wait to get her seasoned

Great information video! Had the 36, sold it ..have the 17 love it.. great for tailgating

Well well well, we have another man that says, "Stay Hydrated" while opening a beer! Cheers brother! You remind me of myself.

great information!!! thanks for showing us the proper way to do it!!!

I have owned my BlackStone griddle for 4 years now. One great piece of equipment for my outdoor kitchen. As for seasoning. I did not go through all of the cycles he is doing here. Nothing wrong with what he is doing here. I heated up my griddle the first time and put some Canola oil on it and rubbed it in. I started immediately cooking on the griddle. The more you cook on the flattop, the more seasoned it gets. So just use it and over time it will get a nice coating. Just remember after each use, after it cools and you give it a good cleaning, wipe it down with a new heavy coat of oil and cover it up. Chef Jerry

That mistake looked painful! I hear staying properly hydrated as you did will help with pain management.

Great addition to the arsenal brother!!!

Hydration is a must. Your video is the the best, straight to the point. Thank you for that.

Lol I just seasoned my new Blackstone Air Fryer Griddle Combo a couple weeks ago and burned the heck out of my fingers too! Not quite that badly but dang that heat transfers through the cloth fast! Great safety tip and thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend brother!

Thanks for that I did that back in 97 at Jack in the box in the CPT lol 😁 but yes very good job I did not think it would go this far of Cleaning the flat grill from 97 to 2021 🙏👍wow very long time

Just got my grill ...thanks for showing me the right way to season it...enjoy cooking...

Take a shot everytime he says "basically" 😁🤣😁🤣

The priest part killed me! “Wait no that’s kinda weird” 😂 💀

I would love ❤️ to have that type of grill!!! Yes, you can cook anything on that!!! 😃

Great easy to follow vid, thanks for sharing. 🍺

Nobody says anything about the "D" on the end? Hahahahaha Blackstoned!

Awesome video! I am very new to the griddle scene but I am trying to learn everything I can. I recently bought this griddle and the "pre season" is starting to peel off? Is that normal? Or is there something I should do?

🤣🤣🤣 The "D" that you added, really funny!!!! hahaha

Can you use crisco to season it? I usually use crisco to season my cast iron but I was sure with this

I would definitely use plain water to remove soap residue, heating it doesn't remove it.

When he opened the beer....I subscribed.

Great video 😂 good info, cheers 👍✌️👊🔥

You got great videos buddy!! Job well done!! Cheers 🍻

Awesome video!! Thanks for the information! 😁👍

I just picked one up today and also burnt my thumb while seasoning 😂 I didn’t feel a thing after a beer but they need to put a wear gloves warning somewhere on the box lol

Thank you for POINTING me the way to do this correctly. Now, stay hydrated out there :-)

Just subscribed. Thank You .

I see you only have never Sheff installed, too. The supports for my other side were formed exactly the opposite of that needed to mount one of the shelves. Two were formed, right, and the other two were formed wrong. The supports must face inward and two of mnebtie were and two of them were formed outward.

I found out olive oil causes a sticky residue. Even though ppl recommend it. So i spent the extra money and got the Blackstone seasoning, cleaned griddle really good and reseasoned. No issues now.

ok fam you just put me onto my next purchase i think this will be christmas gift to uhmmm myself lol

Love the BLACK&STONED logo!

Great information. Regards Victor.👍

Do you have to let it cool in between coats or do you keep it on high the whole time

Thanks for the tips!

Being its a Blackstoned maybe should season in hemp oil LOL just kidding great video thanks for sharing

Great video! Have a wonderful day!🤗

My old grill has seen it's days. Went out and bought a new grill and wouldn't you know it, I WON a 28" Blackstone Griddle ! I was thinking of selling it until I ran across a few videos about this griddle. Damn ! Wish I'd have known of this before, would have purchased this instead of the grill. We'll be taking this camping for now on too, it's very portable, use to take the grill in the back of my pickup truck where it took up WAY too much space. The grill stays home. I'm assembling it as I write this message and I will season it today and will absolutely stay hydrated !🍺

Thanks for idea. Getting one soon bro

Thank you for the video! You have a new follower.

HA! BlackstoneD. Nice Easter egg. I'm getting my used Blackstone cook top back from the sand blaster today. I'm going to use your technique to season it.

Where do I get this brand? “BLACK & STONED” Gotta love it!!!

Can you use any oil for seasoning?

"Do NOT do this..." ... What? Don't burn your finger when working with a hot cooktop...got it 😆

so if I didn't go a great job season when new...can I do a "reset"? Clean with soap/water and re-oil? Re-boot...if you will?

How do you clean after cooks?

What was the DO NOT DO THIS part ?

THE BEST ON KZfaq.....BE SURE TO STAY HYDRATED.....LOVE IT!

What about the sticky crap that’s on top when you take the plastic wrap off? How do you remove that?

Great job, except for burning your finger ! I didn’t tell you to do that ! The color of the griddle looks great Andrew !

Hello, I'm looking into getting a Blackstone Griddle. What size is the one you're using?

When did Blackstone start pre-seasoning there griddles? I've never read that.

I used vegetable oil it works fine thats all I ever use on it I cook with olive oil but dont use it on griddle. I had mine a year I use it 9 out of 10 days its like non stick now.

First step, pour 3 fingers of Scotch. Next step, light a fine cigar. Last step, drink scotch and smoke cigar while admiring your beautiful new griddle!

Blackstone suggests using soapy water to clean it before seasoning and cooking. However, my sister told me not to because she doesn't and she said it would ruin it. Can anybody clarify what I should do? I just bought one over the weekend and I have no idea if I should use soap or not.

Did you keep the grill at 500 degrees through the whole process?

Jeez, i just got the Blackstone griddle, i want the Blackstoned one

Where did you get the “Blackstoned” sticker? I kinda dig it

Well I tried seasoning my girlfriend's griddle yesterday and it's like the middle of it done real good but the edging and about finger length from the front didn't want to change color. And I've done it outside so I'm sure the wind was slightly blowing decent and that probably had something to do with it so I don't know if I can just keep using it and it finally season itself out or what?

I just bought me the 28” inch one but I’m not sure o want to use soap, I might just use a damp cloth to clean and wipe it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

When you used the rag the first time what was that water then came the oil???

Just bought this and I can't fricking start it. WTH. I got the propane tank hooked up I see the spark sparking when I hit the auto start button but there's no flame. The knobs are on the flame/fire sign. What am I doing wrong here ????

flax seed oil can withstand high heat and is recommended for seasoning grill tops

Can you use vegetable oil? Sorry I'm a newbie and I'm honestly terrified to attempt to use propane for the first time lol

Don't you want to rinse soap residue off first ??

I got to get me one of those catch!

Great Video! Thankyou!

Q: Do you suppose to season your griddle every time you are done using it?

I did this to my Blackstone several times over several days.

That is so LOL!! 😂😂😂!! Seeing this thing clearly reading 📖 Blackstoned”. This must be to capture our attention. That’s so darned funny 😆. All the griddles I see at my Tractor 🚜 Supply Job, read “Blackstone”, without the “D”. I work at Tractor 🚜 Supply Distribution Center, so that’s how I know the name is spelled. Please keep these humorous griddle videos coming, I want to be amused. I’m even subbing to your channel!! Your friend, Jeff.

BLACK&STONED! AWESOME! I bet most people don't even notice that your griddle says that.

Just subbed, High Speed, Low drag sir!

Where did you get that grill with the black and red colors?

Looks like a good way to screw up a brand new griddle. Pretty sure they tell you NOT to preheat on high due to possibility of warping it. No reason in hell to season at 500+, your just burning oil. Ya don't season your cast iron pan in the house that high and no need for a griddle either. 350-375 stays within the burn range for most oil's.

Really helpful, also belly laughed at the priest joke haha

That was pretty much a great video. I basically liked it. :)

Always use Black Grill Brick and veg oil and use flat steal spatula to clean off. Work in a steak house

Do NOT clickbait

Is that a Blackstone 28" or 22"??? It looks different than the Blackstone I've been looking at and I'm trying to decide which to buy.

What if you buy it new but it has some rust around the corners, how do you clean it? They marked it down at the store because of the rust.

Very Kool! Daddy D knows 😎

Like the part we need to stay hydrated 😂

Hi....it's hard to tell....does the propane canister sit on the ground or is it elevated by a hanger....thanks.

When you said I love you guys except for you, that's when I decided I have to subscribe.

I noticed that you opened the tank with about one turn, propane tanks will leak if the valve is not opened all the way. Food for thought.

So you said soap would never touch it again so what do you do to clean it just heat it up real hot after you cook a steak on it and then wipe it off?

Great tips, you can't go wrong listening to Kent.

PLEASE lose the music. Would of been a lot better video. Ty

I seasoned mine as the instructions directed, canola oil works great so does crisco I seasoned mine five times when new, flaxseed oil wasn’t recommended by Blackstone nor soap and water.

I would never use soap. Maybe 50/50 white vinegar and water.

WHY?? Wiping it dry after the soap water wash can leave soap residue on the griddle. RINSE then wipe and heat to dry...unless you like tasting soap in your food.
