A Blackstone griddle is a high-quality flat topped steel griddle. Cooking on a griddle is different from a grill because you cook on a solid hot surface instead of cooking over flame.

If you don’t have space for an outdoor griddle, then there are small ones you can use. These are some great options:

• Black and Decker Family Size Electric Griddle

How do you keep bacon from sticking to a Blackstone?

If the bacon is sticking, this likely could mean that your Blackstone griddle is not seasoned well. You could have a build-up of grease or oil that is causing food to stick to the surface. Clean you Blackstone well, season it properly, and then try again!

Bacon from the griddle will have an even, golden-brown color! The edges and insides will be crispy and well-cooked.
