Just ordered this same griddle. Would you mind sharing where you purchased the black cabinet on wheels on your patio? It would be nice to have extra space with something like that. It compliments the Weber Slate so well.
This thing is so far behind Flatrock in grill zones, even heating, accessories, side tables, and burners. It isn't even close. This is a very expensive Blackstone
what a great video. . . . I have the Slate on my xmas list (with my wife lol) and this is going to be the first (or one of the first) things I'm going to make!
Great video! Have been waiting for the 36” (seems like forever ) to be available. Should have it within the next few days. Can’t wait to put it in service!
I know Weber says you don’t have to fully season it the first time, but owning many cast iron and carbon steel pans, it’s my experience that for the most longevity, I season carbon steel just like I do cast iron. It takes less than an hour, and IMHO, it’s just extra insurance and piece of mind
Important message: Contrary to popularish belief, you WILL NEED TO SEASON THIS GRIDDLE LONG TERM. The Slate comes preseasoned, but like almost any piece of metal, it is susceptible to corrosion. It will need to be maintained. It will need to be seasoned from time to time. The video made it seem like this steel surface will magically maintain itself, and never need seasoning, but that's NOT true. You will be required to season and maintain this grill. You might not need to do so immediately after purchasing. (Though I absolutely will!). Like anything, own responsibly and take care of your belonging. Live long and prosperate!
Heard. Im going to have to add a note in the description to be more specific. What I was referring to in this video at 2:20 mins. Without blasting another brand directly- is that there was a specific brand of griddle that we had, that rusted every 3 months no matter how well we took care of it… it needed to be scraped, treated, pasted, scrubbed, and re- seasoned. Another brand that we had, we experienced the grill top coating literally peeling- and when we tried to re-season it, it was a mess, so much so, that the company offered to replace it. WE NEVER experienced anything like that with our Weber. I wasn’t as “literal” as I should have been… and I will most definitely be adding a note in my description of the video. Thanks for your comment
I was thinking similarly. Any rolled steel will be prone to rust. If I had one of these, I'd look into either a silicon mat or maybe some thick mil plastic that I could put down on the surface to minimize air contact. Or maybe a couple of jumbo ziplocs, something around 18"x22". Put some sand in each one. Lay them down on top of the griddle when it has cooled off. That would probably do a pretty good job of keeping rust away.
Thinking about buying this griddle, never owned one before. Would you season it with oil before every use? Or after the first use can you just use butter?
How long after grilling should you clean the griddle also if you wait till after you eat to clean do you have to reheat it to a specific temperature, thanks.
Wow, what a fantastic new griddle I want one. Been looking at the Blackstone but didn't buy it yet. Glad I didn't. Cant wait to try the recipe too. Thank you for such a thorough video. Love receipes!
Great video, thanks for posting. Trying to decide between the 30” & 36”. Love our 4 burner Weber Genesis, want to add a flat top as well. I think you just convinced me to go with the 36.
She’s a beauty!! So excited for griddle season and all of the content to come!! 🥰❤️🫶🏼 Also mad props to Weber for remembering that left handed ppl exist and trying to accommodate us as well!!
I’m on the fence! Costco has the Blackstone 36 inch for $400. Do you think it’s a better buy to go with the Slate 30 inch or 36inch instead based on cost and longevity? This would be my first outdoor griddle. Great informative video also!
I would spend the extra for the Slate 36". I have the Blackstone 36" right now and had some rust issues on the burner unit itself and the easy grease tray and under storage on the weber makes it a must buy over a Blackstone
@@davidvoth7218 the rolled steel isnt the issue but the unit itself. Its a quality control issue. My unit didnt get the powder coat heat treated properly. Just make sure to return it if it starts to rust within a week or so
I have the camp chef. It’s not well made. No matter how much we care for it and season it rust is there. Surface heat distribution is not ideal either.
my only concern is that the metal sounds so thin and "tinny" :( not the Webers of old. My old SS Performer, SS Genesis and SS Summit have thick 304 gauge SS. all about cost savings and bottom $ now
We have had ours about 2 weeks. Our first cook was just ok because there was a “new oven” taste to the food. I cleaned it well just like Erica does here and then seasoned off with vegetable oil. Perfect!
how can you say there is no dead spot? you dont have a laser to check. so this griddle is nice but the temperature is not the same everywhere, and the temperature screen is wrong also...
My brother has this and cant understand why it costs so much. The heat zones are the same as the blackstone pro at double the price. Its so bad compated to Traeger Flatrock
Perhaps it won't have the paint flake off and start rusting in a month. I like my Blackstone, but the build quality is trash. You get what you pay for.
Why season it if it’s preseason, rust and 7 griddles you are doing something wrong my RZR 37” has Nvr rust chipped just use it a lot for 2 years even take it to the sand dunes

Great video! What is the cabinet in the background? Looks useful.
Hands down the best griddle i have ever seen. You did a great job with the video!!!!
We are so excited about it! So glad you liked the video 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This thing is so far behind Flatrock in grill zones, even heating, accessories, side tables, and burners. It isn't even close. This is a very expensive Blackstone
@@micahroberts3564 I can assure you this thing is nothing like a Blackstone!
I came here to check out the weber slate, looking to buy my first griddle, and then found your champ dish!!!! I am making that. thanks so much!
😍 I didn’t know I needed a griddle until I found your video! But also those meatballs!!! 😍
Thank you love ❤❤❤❤❤
what a great video. . . . I have the Slate on my xmas list (with my wife lol) and this is going to be the first (or one of the first) things I'm going to make!
The meal looked amazing, thx for sharing! Do you find the heat coming out from under griddle to be too hot in the front or the sides?
Great video! Have been waiting for the 36” (seems like forever ) to be available. Should have it within the next few days. Can’t wait to put it in service!
So excited for you ❤

Great video. Now I'm hungry. Great review. Looking at this one myself. Any idea if it can be converted to Natural Gas?

Awwww we loved making this video so much! Weber is our most favorite griddle on the market for sure ❤
Great video, thanks for posting. Trying to decide between the 30” & 36”. Love our 4 burner Weber Genesis, want to add a flat top as well. I think you just convinced me to go with the 36.
How many people do you normally cook for?
@@cookiterica I’m trying to decide between the 30 and 36. Also, I cook for family of five.
Great video! I just put mine together. Where did you get that storage bin? I got the caddy but haven’t seen that large bin.
Great job on the video. Thanks for the recipe as well.
That’s a nice griddle. What kind of oil do you like to use to season it?
I use vegetable oil
She’s a beauty!! So excited for griddle season and all of the content to come!! 🥰❤️🫶🏼 Also mad props to Weber for remembering that left handed ppl exist and trying to accommodate us as well!!
We were blown away by the thoughtfulness of this griddle! Any suggestions on what we should cook next?
@@cookiterica I think like a Japanese steakhouse type vibe would be AHHMAZING!!!
@@JenHarmanYUMMMMMMM
Y’all are so cute !! The griddle is a beast
WE LOVE YOU!! ❤️
I have the same griddle as you do how to you change the battery for the temperature control
What is the appliance you used to chop the onion
Erica you KILLED it gurl!! 👊🏾 AWESOME review!! Gonna have to hit your subscribe button!! 💯
You have no idea how much I needed this comment today ❤ thank you! And welcome to the family
@@cookiterica Glad that I commented! Thanks for sharing your experience! 🙏🏾Looking forward to seeing more.
Just got mine but didn’t clean it first . Going to clean now with a wipe down because I did season it
Let us know how it goes ❤
Day one requesting a pickle flavored condiments video--especially the dill pickle mustard from Trader Joe's!!
Heard ❤
Anyway, you can possibly write down the recipe on these comments please also, can you post a link to the griddle you used? Looks delicious. Thank you.
It’s written in the description of this video for you ❤

I would spend the extra for the Slate 36". I have the Blackstone 36" right now and had some rust issues on the burner unit itself and the easy grease tray and under storage on the weber makes it a must buy over a Blackstone
I was also looking at the Blackstone at Costco. The online reviews scared me with customers having rust issues.
@@davidvoth7218 the rolled steel isnt the issue but the unit itself. Its a quality control issue. My unit didnt get the powder coat heat treated properly. Just make sure to return it if it starts to rust within a week or so
question - other than the surface area, what makes a stand alone griddle better to use than a griddle insert?
the standalones usually have a hole for the grease to go through. I'm not sure if inserts have this.
I can’t wait to see it
First!
We are so excited to share this with you ❤
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Does this come with a natural gas attachment?
I'm early... wanted to get a front row seat! 😏
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE!! We love you!! ❤️
Amazing!!! I want one!!!
I think you would love it 😍
@@cookiterica Living on disability due to ILD.... I could never afford one!!! Still loving Grillo's.... made some like jalapeño poppers today!!!
Everyone who tried them loved them!!!
Have you tried the camp chef? I’m on the fence between these two.
I have the camp chef. It’s not well made. No matter how much we care for it and season it rust is there. Surface heat distribution is not ideal either.
Very well done review!
Omg thank you 🙏
thanks, i want that model but is not available in canada right now
I think it’s out in Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
can you link that griddle??
They could have made the stainless removable tray to fit over the top of the plastic caddy as a cover. Disappointing detail I feel was overlooked.
Do any of those accessories come with the grill?
They are sold separate on webers website ❤
Did they sponsor you
No! We are not sponsored. We wish we were…
I can’t wait to see your smash burgers!!
YUM 😋
Amazing video
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you loved it!! ❤️
my only concern is that the metal sounds so thin and "tinny" :( not the Webers of old. My old SS Performer, SS Genesis and SS Summit have thick 304 gauge SS. all about cost savings and bottom $ now
So does all that stuff come with the griddle
Accessories are sold separate
If i purchased the propane version do you think I can convert it to natural gas?
We have had ours about 2 weeks. Our first cook was just ok because there was a “new oven” taste to the food. I cleaned it well just like Erica does here and then seasoned off with vegetable oil. Perfect!
I read somewhere from Weber the 30 inch can be converted but the 36 cannot at this time, Perhaps because it's so new and not available at this time.
What are the seasonings you used
The exact recipe is written for you in the description of this video ❤
You did that!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSS ❤
Nice griddle,
Thank you 🙏

Why season it if it’s preseason, rust and 7 griddles you are doing something wrong my RZR 37” has Nvr rust chipped just use it a lot for 2 years even take it to the sand dunes
FYI: If the "Pre-seasoned" griddle is made in China, the "Seasoning" is FDA approved Paint.
Whoever put that together needs more practice
What do you mean?
If only you could conver to ng I would have bought this
I hope they do that soon ❤
So much fat on that sauce wtf. Seriously..
Everything was great, until you said OMG, that was just offensive.
don’t b annoying
No wondering why she is soo ___!😬
