COOKING TIPS

LOW HEAT:
Cooks slowly and requires more time.
Breaks down connective tissue and fat for a tender, moist meal.

  • Fatty, thick cuts of meat. (eg: chuck steak, brisket, chicken thighs, short ribs)
  • Delicate seafood (eg: octopus, squid)

MEDIUM HEAT:
Stable heat, takes the average time you’d expect for pancakes, eggs, toast, and more.
For food more susceptible to heat. Sear without overcooking.

  • Fish (whole or in pieces)
  • Most seafood
  • Vegetables (steam with the Blackstone Basting Dome for best flavour)
  • Pancakes
  • Eggs

HIGH HEAT:
Cooks meals fast and in little time. Slow cooking would dry up these cuts and make them horrible to eat since they are lower on fat.

  • Lean cuts of meat. (eg: chicken breast, tenderloin, skirt steak, flank)

SYMPTOMS

BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Your appliance’s burners are designed to mix oxygen and propane at a rate that allows for optimal flames. Should the burner’s holes, air gate, or venturi get blocked, it will affect the propane and air mixture, causing low or inconsistent flames, or flames coming from the air gate.

Healthy flames might have a few flickers of yellow color ❶, then a dark blue color ❷, followed by a vibrant blue by the burner tube ❸.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Regularly clean your appliance between uses, especially after extended periods of storage. In order to extend the life and condition of unit, follow best practices detailed in this manual.

WARNING
When not in use, turn unit controls and gas source OFF.

Section 04

CLEANING YOUR GRIDDLE TOP

Follow these simple cleaning steps to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Blackstone Griddle.

DANGER
DO NOT place flammable items on side shelves near the griddle. Aerosol containers are particularly hazardous because they can overheat and result in an explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.

WARNING
DO NOT place oily or greasy towels near the griddle unit as they can spontaneously combust.

CAUTION
The grease cup must be removed and emptied after each use.
Do not remove the grease cup until the griddle has completely cooled.

FOR EVERY GRIDDLE SURFACE
The Blackstone Griddle Degreaser and Cleaning Spray is gentle enough to clean every surface of your griddle. Use it on the griddle top, the griddle frame, or anywhere that experiences a build up of grease.

BLACKSTONE 2086 Griddle Electric Air Fryer Hood Owner's Manual - CLEANING
YOUR GRIDDLE TOP BLACKSTONE 2086 Griddle
Electric Air Fryer Hood Owner's Manual - CLEANING YOUR GRIDDLE
TOP

FIRST TIME CLEANING
Blackstone Griddles are pre-treated with cooking oil to prevent rust and damage during shipping. For first time use, wash griddle with hot, soapy water.

THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU SHOULD USE SOAP ON THE GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE.
Rinse and dry completely. Proceed with seasoning instructions. (Please reference the Griddle Seasoning Instructions section.)

PROTECTING YOUR GRIDDLE TOP
Store griddle in a cool, dry location. Always cover griddle if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of griddle covers offered by Blackstone.

When protecting griddle with soft cover, use the “tenting” method to prevent water from accumulating on griddle top. “Tenting” involves placing an object (a bowl, tennis ball or PVC pipe) beneath soft cover in the center of griddle in order to allow water to slide off. “Tenting” helps prevent rust.

CUTTING ON THE GRIDDLE TOP
Using a knife directly on the surface of the griddle will not harm the griddle top.

REMOVING RUST
If rust appears on the griddle surface, rub it off with steel wool, low grit sandpaper or the Blackstone Pumice Stone and re-season the surface.

Recovering your Blackstone Griddle Top

youtube.com/watch?v=thPE2IgnSiI

WARNING
NEVER APPLY COLD WATER ACROSS THE WHOLE SURFACE OF A HOT GRIDDLE AT ONCE.
This may cause warping. Adding a large amount of cold or frozen food (or food with significant water content) to a hot griddle may cause griddle to warp.

CAUTION
DO NOT USE SOAP ON THE GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE. This will destroy the griddle’s seasoning.
