Hi Johnny. I don't know if you remember me but I'm the guy who's off to a slow start. Major success, pancakes and bacon on the griddle were fantastic. i should have made more batter. Problem thought with Smash burgers, mine always fall apart. Can't really use the thermometer they're too thin. Is 93/7 ground beef too much.
Hi yes I remember. I'm glad the pancakes and bacon went well. So yes I would try switching to 80/20 and see if that helps out with the smash burgers. Also does your spatulas have a beveled edge? That really helps get under them when they are paper thin. When are they falling apart durint the flip? Let me know and I can give you some more tips.
My griddle is the most useful kitchen appliance I own. I made simple breakfast scrambled eggs, sausage and hash brown patties in 15 minutes. Quick and delicious.
I recently saw a video showing a guy make a pizza on a griddle. He used store bought dough, but looked pretty good. That might something that you can try in the future. Cool top 10 video!!!
Well played, Johnny. I just did a hash brown scramble the other day, and it was awesome. Thanks for being here. It was 8:15 in the morning. That’s not too early to crack an ipa is it? Yeah, I didn’t think so.😂😂❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️
Another great video, Johnny. I've got my sights set on the Philly cheesesteak for one of my first meals when I finally get my griddle. The swear-jar fund hasn't grown much now that my ex-wife has moved on, but hey, I'll get there eventually. Keep the videos coming!
I've been thinking about using my two 9" round cake pans, butter the bottom or line w/ parchment or foil & fill 'em with cloth dried hash browns & smash 'em into the pan shape w/ paper towels to remove any more water & then flip 'em over onto the griddle, OR, bake 'em a bit to evaporate the water & hopefully brown the bottom, then flip 'em onto the griddle, hoping they would be sturdy enough to flip again. So many options...
I have become addicted to the flat-top. I found that I can cook more things on that than I can in my kitchen. Mainly because my kitchen has one of those stupid glass cooktops.
Hate my glass cook top too. We have winter here, so we bought a 17" Blackstone e-Series that I don't recommend. Lost it's ceramic coating non-stickiness very fast, so I use plenty of oil now & then still have to clean it with Bon Ami POWDER (not cleanser) and DOBI nylon mesh wrapped sponge. Fortunately, it only takes 3.2 seconds to remove lid & cook surface. I have to cook at 400 & 450 because it bleeds heat so fast with room temperature foods. Using frozen burger patties or frozen stir fry mix & temps drop like a rock and it takes forever to recover. Using meatballs that sat out from the fridge for an hour & smashing those will still drop temps, and by the time it recovers, 450F will melt the edge of every plastic spatula I've tried when you try to scrape a smash burger off the surface & it leaves particles / residue. SOLUTION = buy the carbon steel top VEVOR 22" indoor electric griddle & use steel spats! Tons of vids about that & other sizes.
@@harddocs Thanks for the info. I knew that the coated Blackstone wouldn't last. But when I said that in its review everyone jumped me over it. They said the coating won't come off. But I let it go at that. My big 36" Blackstone is a dream and it doesn't stick. I want to replace my glass top with a gas stove but can't afford the cost. There is a gas jet right at the stove already but the cost of stoves are so high now.
@@JWimpy - NOTE: the ceramic coating has not come off (like many teflon pans I've had) because I have been VERY disciplined about PLASTIC ONLY spats, but it has lost it's "slipperiness". Since we got our outdoor propane 17" B-stone Adventure Ready w/ side burner & deep fryer (that's a mouthful) I am blown away at how easy it is to just scrape clean with steel spats, water & wipe, re-oil & call it DONE. Even w/ this 17" B-stone indoor e-Series, I very seriously want a VEVOR 22" indoors.
@@harddocs Sounds great. I bought my son that 17" because he loved my 36" so well. But he doesn't cook for large gatherings like myself. And I really cannot stand any cookware that has to be babied. I cut, scrape, and work my cookware hard. All cast iron or stainless steel in the house and the big Blackstone in the outdoor kitchen. I also have a barrel smoker. My Char-Broil BBQ finally wore out last year but I haven't missed it. I literally cook anything on the flat top unless I need to smoke it.
Bro .. love your videos. Been watching for years. You NEED a good mandolin. Paper thin onions. They carmelize right in. Trust me. Try it. Thank me later
I know this is a dumb question and I forgot my glasses before I watched this video but those smash burgers you were making……was that butter that was in the middle befit you flipped them ?.
Buy Johnnys E book to find out lol. A bunch of burger video that should have it. I use the sauce from his first smash burger video. go buy that book if you haven’t yet. 👍
@@JohnnyBrunet yes sir thanks for clearing that up. I was on my way to the lake at that point and I left my glasses at home as not to lose them but I do appreciate your reply back sir !. It means alot !.
Thanks for response,, I use a 2 burner griddle and these will work much better!! I'm in rural Ala so can't just run down to local culinary arts store!!!
Once you go smash burger, you dont cook any othher burger. Ill go get a regular burger out of convenience, but the folks across the street from work smash em too. We get along well.
@@JohnnyBrunet gas, its those smaller weber Q things. You can swap out grill grates with griddle plate instead. I guess it has a single burner so might be ok for recipes requiring just a single temperature zone.
@@Sgten01 ya the temps are what are hardest on those inserts. If it's just one burner than you will probably have some hot and cold spots. So you won't be able to jump around in temp and do things like a full breakfast. But it should work fine for most other things like cheese steaks, fajitas, and smash burgers.
Great video Johnny ! I been watching your videos for a long time, and just realized i wasn't subscribed lol. You need to remind people to subscribe 🫡 And yes im starting my diet next week too

I made smash burgers today Aug 2 onions ,bacon ,cheese, eggs,oh they were sooo good! Thank you for the lessons! You rock!
Heck ya!
Nice job on this video, Johnny. Several good, simple meals, all very doable by beginners like me. Thanks for making it.
I like your videos Johnny. It might even be something I don't need to learn, but you're entertaining. You're doing it right! Cheers!
Came for the food, stayed for the jokes!
I recently saw a video showing a guy make a pizza on a griddle. He used store bought dough, but looked pretty good. That might something that you can try in the future. Cool top 10 video!!!
That's cool I'll look into that.
Good Vid Brother. As usual. 🍻
Much appreciated
Another awesome video. Thanks, Johnny!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid.
Thanks!
Super simple and delicious recipes. Good stuff.
Glad you like them!
Great Video Johnny. Always good information.

Bring two coolers is my advice
Great advice & exactly what I do...

Ya can't drink All Day unless you start in the morning! ;-)
lol amen.
lovin' the breakfasts. My favorite meal also. Have you tried corned beef hash on the griddle?
This is a very solid top 10 in my book. Great video!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Howdy Johnny, have to agree Breakfast is my favorite cook on the griddle. kept it simple this morning bacon eggs and sausage. Have A Day! ;~)
Nothing wrong with keeping it simple.
Cool video Johnny. How do you guys like your new place? It looks very nice!
Thanks so much Leo. We love our new place we feel so lucky to have it.
Love The Video From Southgate Michigan
Thanks man I appreciate you watching.
Another great video Johnny I've really been into grilled wraps lately
That sounds good.
Another great video, Johnny. I've got my sights set on the Philly cheesesteak for one of my first meals when I finally get my griddle. The swear-jar fund hasn't grown much now that my ex-wife has moved on, but hey, I'll get there eventually. Keep the videos coming!
lol well I hope you still get that griddle soon!
Thanks!
You are welcome Brent. Thank you so much for the super thanks, that is very generous of you.
For us, fried rice is the one that is hardest to do without a griddle. Keeping the smell and mess outside is a huge plus for us.
This is one of your Top 10 vids dude.
Thanks brother.
I've made the hash brown omelette in a cast iron skillet. It's doable as long as I don't make it too huge😊 It's one of my favorites👍
Nice! I need to try it that way.
I've been thinking about using my two 9" round cake pans, butter the bottom or line w/ parchment or foil & fill 'em with cloth dried hash browns & smash 'em into the pan shape w/ paper towels to remove any more water & then flip 'em over onto the griddle, OR, bake 'em a bit to evaporate the water & hopefully brown the bottom, then flip 'em onto the griddle, hoping they would be sturdy enough to flip again.

Johnny, I have been away from youtube for some time but it looks like you got a nice surburb house. CONGRATZ man!
Thanks so much! We moved a few months ago and love our new home. We feel so lucky to have gotten it.
SMASH burgers for the WIN! LOL Yeah, those and cheese steaks are what I got a griddle for.

I looks like mayo to me, never thought about doing that before.
We were asking ourself the Same question
Buy Johnnys E book to find out lol.
A bunch of burger video that should have it. I use the sauce from his first smash burger video.
go buy that book if you haven’t yet. 👍
Not a a dumb question at all. That was the burger sauce I made. Inn-n-out does that where they put some burger sauce down before they flip it.
@@JohnnyBrunet yes sir thanks for clearing that up. I was on my way to the lake at that point and I left my glasses at home as not to lose them but I do appreciate your reply back sir !. It means alot !.
You're a cool dude 😂.
Thanks
This guy is the cousin Eddie of youtube cooks.
Hi! Really like your videos, where did you find the little cooling rack you're always using? All I find are too big.
Thanks so much. I got it off of Amazon. Here is a link amzn.to/46otFtu
Thanks for response,, I use a 2 burner griddle and these will work much better!! I'm in rural Ala so can't just run down to local culinary arts store!!!
@@earljenkins1302 you're welcome.
No beer at 5mins into this video🙄🍻🙄🍻
It was mentioned, but we should probably still call for an ambulance. Sumpin’s wrong.
It was mentioned & commented above as - 3:46 - pearls of wisdom
😔 I've let mysefl down.
I should be in bed, but now I'm hungry.
So I bought 2 IF and probe and 2 multifunctional oiler. Uniform mist and can be posed. A Canadian guy

How do you do the rice on the griddle? Can you just put uncooked rice on the griddle and cook it that way?
No, you need to cook the rice in a pot or rice cooker then I cool it down in the fridge. Then you put it on the griddle with everything else e
@@JohnnyBrunet I figured, thanks
@@cadencopley1617 no problem my friend.
Do u think weber q full griddle will do the same job on a smaller scale?
I've never used it before. Is that for the Webber charcoal grill or Webber gas grills?
@@JohnnyBrunet gas, its those smaller weber Q things. You can swap out grill grates with griddle plate instead. I guess it has a single burner so might be ok for recipes requiring just a single temperature zone.

Don't overlook the griddle's ability to cook a whole side of sea bass, trout, or salmon. It's awesome on the griddle.
Very true! I don't do enough fish. I need to do a whole fish video
Great video Johnny ! I been watching your videos for a long time, and just realized i wasn't subscribed lol. You need to remind people to subscribe 🫡
And yes im starting my diet next week too
Thanks Jason! Ya I always forget to say that lol. Thanks for reminding me brother.
