We heard a lot about the Blackstone propane griddles and finally bought one. While it is very different from ‘smoke’ grilling, we have thoroughly enjoyed it while RVing here in Florida.
We’ve made a lot of Asian or Spanish dishes. Stir Fry veggies with beef, chicken or seafood on a bed of rice with seasonings of course is delish. Mexican seasoned meats with fresh onions, peppers, and rice topped with green onions and sour cream is one of our favorites. Of course you can have corn chips, or flour tortillas with your dish, but we are trying to limit our bread intake and do more rice and vegetables only.
We’ve grilled fresh sliced tomatoes with Provolone cheese on top, and grilled sliced pineapple is absolutely delicious !! Try it.
Last but not least, I feel breakfast is the BEST thing you can cook on the Blackstone. You can cook a whole pound of bacon in no time, sausage is delicious, and eggs take on a whole new flavor. It has to be the cast iron cooking surface that creates a unique flavor. We use mostly olive oil to cook with but sometimes butter or avocado oil can change the flavor and make it more yummy.
It is easy to clean and has changed our way of cooking in the RV. Anything that ‘smells loudly’ (i.e. fish, salmon, shrimp, very aromatic dishes) is cooked outside to reduce odors inside the RV. And clean up is a breeze.
We prep everything ahead of time – slicing vegetables, preparing the rice, flavoring meats – inside the RV. We place it all on a large serving tray and it all goes outside. After eating (usually outside), we put all the soiled utensils, plates, etc on the tray and it comes in for a good washing.
I wash all these items while hubbs scrapes down the griddle top, cleans it, and prepares fo the next cooking adventure.
