Whether you are shopping for a griddle or already own one, you have probably noticed that there can sometimes be confusing differences between models.
Fortunately, there is a good chance that Blackstone has a griddle that suits your needs.
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A GRIDDLE
The first thing to consider is how many people your griddle will be feeding regularly.
DIFFERENT GRILL SIZES OFFER VERSATILITY
Blackstone's griddles range from a 17-inch single-burner grill to 36-inch four-burner grills. Each has its own advantages, so let's look at them all:
Blackstone 17-inch griddle: The 17-inch griddle is the smallest in the fleet, but its performance certainly doesn't leave you cold. This gas-powered griddle can be connected to a small or large LPG cylinder. It is well suited to small areas and balconies. Thanks to its size it is light and portable, making it a favourite of hikers, caravanners and anyone who appreciates the versatility of a smaller grill.
Blackstone 22-inch griddle: The size difference between the 17-inch and the 22-inch griddle doesn't seem large, but it is bigger than it looks. The extra space comes with a second burner, so you can cook food and keep it at the right temperature before serving. It can also be used with a smaller LPG cylinder or a larger one to ensure hours of grilling. The model has 24,000 BTU burners. This grill is still portable enough to take on trips, yet roomy enough to earn its own dedicated spot on your patio. The 22-inch griddle comes in different versions depending on your needs. You can choose one with a stand and side shelf, or a version with or without a lid.
Blackstone 28-inch griddle: One look at the 28-inch griddle and you know it's powerful. The larger cooking surface means more capacity to cook for a crowd, with 34,000 BTU of power across two burners. This grill is the perfect size to become a permanent part of your cooking area. Thanks to its four wheels, it can easily be rolled into a shed or garage when not in use. You'll also notice that some 28-inch griddle models have extra equipment. This ranges from a fixed, hinged lid to an integrated Air Fryer system and side shelves. It stands at a comfortable height that matches a kitchen worktop. Some models also have storage cabinets as well as handy hooks and magnets for quick access to your cooking utensils.
Blackstone 36-inch griddle: This grill is the brand's flagship and where the gas-powered outdoor griddle got its start.
It offers the most usable cooking surface and 60,000 BTU of heat from four independently controlled gas burners. The 36-inch griddle is also the most innovative and has impressive features that make cooking fun.
Depending on the model you choose, the 36-inch griddle has room for paper towels, seasonings and cooking utensils. Some models come with a cutting board and a rubbish bag hanger. Others include Blackstone's integrated Air Fryer system and a warming drawer, so the sky's the limit for your creations.
ARE BLACKSTONE GRILLS GAS-POWERED?
Although most Blackstone griddles run on gas, the E-Series electric griddles don't require gas. You simply plug the E-Series griddle into a standard socket, and it can cook at temperatures of 93°C-260°C using the control knob.
E-Series griddles come in two sizes: a 17-inch griddle with one heating zone and a 22-inch griddle with two independently controlled heating zones.
Unlike gas griddles, the E-Series griddle surface doesn't need seasoning. It comes with a hard ceramic coating that is non-stick and easy to clean. The surface is removable and cleans easily with a little mild soap and water. To maintain the non-stick surface, non-metal utensils are recommended, such as the 5-piece griddle accessory set available in our range.
Whether you're grilling on the go or creating a cooking paradise in your own back garden, Blackstone's range has a griddle to suit your lifestyle.
