FAQs
What should I not use on a Blackstone griddle?
While Blackstone griddles are pretty hardy and durable, avoid using harsh cleaners to preserve the seasoning on the cooktop. All you really need to clean your flat-top grill is a scraper and hot, soapy water.
Should I oil my Blackstone after each use?
Seasoning your Blackstone can be a hassle, but maintaining your grill’s surface will keep it from rusting and give you a nonstick surface that’s easier to cook on. While you must thoroughly season your Blackstone before the first use and every few months after that, you should also spread a tablespoon of oil on it after cleaning.
Can I use metal utensils on my Blackstone?
A Blackstone’s steel cooking surface is durable enough to handle metal utensils. In fact, to properly clean your griddle after use, you’ll likely need to use a metal scraper to remove bits of food.
Can I leave my Blackstone outside?
Depending on how mild the weather is where you live, you may be able to leave your Blackstone outside for periods of time or even year-round. However, if you store your griddle outside, a cover will protect your grill from the elements and prevent rust.
