OT: Blackstone Griddle

[Dizzy01]

I need a good steamer lid. What do you guys recommend?

My wife ordered me a Wilco steamer lid off of Amazon. It was labled a “half size” but it’s a good size rectangle.

Always cook your rice the night before and add a splash of white rice wine vinegar

I use a cheap oversized wok lid I bought from Jeff Bezos' little boutique (Winco 18 inch) but Blackstone makes their own in at least two sizes.

Beer, always beer.

I can oblige. I am also a big bourbon collector so that may tickle your fancy to.

Loving this thread guys. I found a 14" winco lid on the Zon for $20. Looks pretty good. Most are 12, but I usually find a little bigger leads to more flexibility. (and initiate puns)

Be sure to season it 3-4 times before cooking

I sous vide a lot which means after cooking you quick sear. My Blackstone hits around 700 degrees. Makes for an excellent quick sear. I also make a lot of smash burgers and hamburger steaks on it. Basically anything you'd cook in a skillet. I've even made pizza on it. One of my favorites is to take a sauced pulled pork, caramelize it on the Blackstone like you're making carnitas and top it with cheese, bacon, jalapenos, whatever and serve on Kings Hawaiian bread. I also have the 17" portable which is my tailgate go to. The Blackstones are one of my best ever purchases.

I made smash burgers the other night. They were fantastic. I smeared butter on the grill before I put the meat balls on. I'm not a fan of overcooked burgers so I didn't let them cook long at all. And of course, I toasted the buns in the butter.
