Bought a Camp Chef a few months ago and I love it, you can take the griddle off and use it like a regular grill. I followed the instructions but about the third time I used it the top warped. Not much but enough that the oil would run to one side. I put a level on the top and took a picture to send to CC, they had no issue and sent a new top to me. Good companies always stand behind their products.

The probe thermometer that I finally bought a few years ago has massively upped my steak cooking game. Looking like the "cool kids" is so much less important than having a steak cooked perfectly to the desired temperature. Buying the infrared thermometer when I bought my griddle was a no-brainer.

#6 is an argument forever. It really is whatever works for you. I fought the idea of using flaxseed oil forever. Just because people pushed it so hard. I'm a rebel. LOL But, after trying everything with unhappy results. I broke down and got the flaxseed oil. Man, am I glad I did. I don't use it every time. I season the griddle after a good cleaning with the flaxseed. And cleaning I mean using water and making steam then flaxseed. After daily use. I just scrape off real good and leave the cooking oil. I cooked with. But, after a steam cleaning always flaxseed. It's made the griddle like black glass. And nothing sticks to it. It's really weird.

Well, I’ve done all of these! I’ve turned bottles into modern art. I do cook way too hot. Not sure what temp is best for different foods? I need a thermometer for sure. Still love cooking outside tho 😁getting used to black eggs!

I hear ya Steven it's hard not to do all of these when you first get a griddle. And I also just love cooking outside it feel so much more fun. And I don't get grease all over my kitchen. I actually just released a video about what temps to cook out I'll link it here. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ipyY2s-vcdzRodY.html

Very informative video. I do have to question that you can actually warp the griddle top. I would think the makers would not make the burners get it hot enough to do that. I also think that steak is great if you cook it on a surface over 500 degrees.

@JohnnyBrunet

3 жыл бұрын

Hey thanks for watching the video. Yes I agree that you can sear a steak over 500 especially if you want that nice sear on the outside and rare in the middle. I don't usually go that high but that's my preference so I should have said that. As for warping I've just seen a ton of Posts on the Camp Chef Griddle Facebook group where this has happened. Usually they don't have all 4 burners on though. So one side is hot and the other is cold leading to warping. Thanks for commenting.

Hi, I just wanna ask you about flat top griddles. Can I season my griddle twice? I already seasoned it once but I noticed that everything I cook still sticks to the top. I Just used it once for testing. Thanks

@JohnnyBrunet

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Micah, yes you can season it twice. Some peopleseason it 3 times at first to get a nice non stick surface. I would just make sure you use as thin amount of oil as possible then burn it all off. After that when you're cooking don't be scared to use a little more oil. I hope this works out and was helpful for you. Let me know if you have any more questions.

My new #1: Do not put sugar based sauces on the griddle, as the caramelization is a PITA to clean. Thanks for the video! Good advice.

Жыл бұрын

It actually is VERY easy to clean those sugar based sauces, etc. I just keep a squeeze bottle of hot water (never cold) and while the griddle is still hot, I shoot some water on the stuck on sauce and the steam loosens it completely. It slides right into my grease reservoir. Easy peasy man!

Such good advice! Thank you so much!!!

ALWAYS keep a point temperature gauge at the ready to check griddle temps.

Hey, Johnny. Great channel, great info for griddle newbies like me. Can you recommend a flat-surface thermometer like the one at 2:16? All the models on Amazon are getting lousy reviews. Thanks! (Btw, my griddle has a shiny stainless steel surface, and a laser-type thermometer won't work on it.)

@JohnnyBrunet

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Phil, I didn't know the infrared wouldn't work on the stainless. The surface thermometer I got from Amazon I'll link the short video I made when I got it. I like it but it's not as good as the infrared. It takes a while to get an accurate temp and you only get one spot of your griddle. but if the infrared doesn't work then that might be your only option. Thanks for the compliments and thanks for watching.

Hey Phil, working in the HVAC/refrigeration/hot side, I would not recommend any type of infrared therm, because it will give false results. I would recommend a weighted surface thermocouple thermometer probe. They aren't cheap though.
