Griddle 101: The 6 Foundations of Griddle Cooking
|
Reviewing The Basics! Hello Friends, Now that spring is almost here I'm getting a lot fo new griddle owners on the email list. Also I figured it's a good time to review the basics for those experienced griddle owners out there. When I got my first griddle, all I saw were recipe videos and the occasional seasoning and cleaning. No one was going over the fundamentals that I had learned as a short order cook at Bob Evans. Things like temperature control, cooking order and oil usage. So I decided to put all that infromation together for new owners. Here’s what every beginner needs to know: 🔥 Seasoning – Your griddle needs a solid seasoning layer to cook properly and prevent rust. I walk through the exact process, plus the best oils to use. 🥑 What Oil to Use – Not all oils are created equal. I lik avocado but there's other good options too. I break down which ones hold up to high heat and which will leave a sticky mess behind. 🌡 Temperature Control – The secret to perfect smash burgers or fluffy pancakes? Cooking at the right temp. I explain the E-G-S method (Eggs-300-325, General 350-400, Searing 450+) to keep it simple. 🥓 Cooking Order – Ever cook eggs first and end up with a cold breakfast? I cover the best order to cook different foods so everything finishes at the right time. 🔪 Accessories – You don’t need every fancy tool, but a few essentials will make cooking way easier. I highlight the must-haves. 🧼 Cleaning & Maintenance – A clean griddle lasts longer and cooks better. I share the quick and easy cleaning routine that keeps mine in top shape—plus what to do if rust shows up. If you're new to griddling (or just want to improve), these tips will help you skip the learning curve. Watch My Video: "Allow yourself to be a beginner.
