You know now having been cooking on The Griddle for several years and becoming somewhat of experts or PE at least people that others will reach out to for advice on The Griddle it really got us thinking about what are some things that we wish we knew when we started out that

We want to share with you to make your griddle Journey easier yes maybe consider this the The Beginner’s Griddler guide if you want to hang out with us and find out maybe things that we wish we would have known when we first started griddle cooking stick

Around while we dig in I can’t believe the wall twins they’re right there that’s one of them that’s the other one I’m the other one all right BR you know this came about I saw griddle with Johnny uh recently did a video that I

Had had on our list to do for a long time which are what are things we wish we had known when we first started griddle cooking and I thought it’s such a valuable time a lot of people just for the holidays uh at Christmas time just got new griddles and we’re coming into

June which is going to get here quicker than you think and a lot more people getting a griddle uh or maybe this is your year too or maybe things didn’t go really well right when you got it and you wonder oh man what could have gone different well we started thinking about

What are some things that we uh would have done differently or we wish we would have known when we first started griddle cooking all right so first of all I’m going to just go right into uh utensils and accessories you people tend to get excessive including ourselves we

Felt like okay we got the griddle we have to go out and get everything and now we both have uh shelves that are just full of a lot of things we don’t use because you have your go-to we have our like our spatulas like if you see

The ones I’ve got they’re mismatched I will get another white handled one you get a couple spat some tongs uh scraper or two and that’s that’s almost pretty much it that’s pretty much all you need yeah it’s it is interesting um I’ve got a whole wagon full of things that uh I I

Probably will just never use and now that’s not true for everybody some people do really do use all the different things I will say I’ve got some things that I use I use the taco racks not all the time but they’re there for when I need to but like you said

I’ve got so many sets of spatulas that I don’t need I have a ton of different Burger presses of which you’ll find which Burger press you like the most there’s two or three that I use I’ve got got about four or five others I actually gave one away recently and I was really

Happy to a get part ways with it maybe we should do aess oh my God serious we don’t need it you won’t either and accessories for the griddles you don’t need giveaway right well the thing is is they really are tools that everybody can have or need at some one

Point or another exactly and there there are people that do use a lot of accessories so we’re not we’re not Downing those but these are like we said the things that we wish we knew that we didn’t have to rush out and buy everything at at once you know so you

You’ll find like maybe there are certain things you go towards like like the the um the egg and omelette Rings those really cool if you’re making a lot of omelets and breakfast I all day go get that stuff but find out three set of those sitting in a drawer somewhere that

I just never used exact we’ve used them for a couple of videos but that’s about it because when it comes to eggs I just throw my eggs on The Griddle now and just get them done uh but but they they are used for specific things so if they

Work for you great it is very interesting one thing is I do love being part of The Griddle community on Facebook and Instagram but is always funny to me when people get their new griddle or whatever and they show the haul that they got too I’m happy and

That works some advice that my wife gave right at the beginning she’s like I know you need the the accessory kit so you have some some spatulas and scraper and some water bottles water bottles but why don’t you see what you need and then we’ll get what you need and we started

That way and it was great but then obviously with the channel we started oh we need this for that cook we need that and so that but with that I would say get yourself a good set of knives as well I mean we used some cheap knives

For the longest time I mean it’s what we could afford is what we had and that’s great but now we love having a good set of so aside from accessories I would say the next thing for me that really stands out and Brett says this a lot he’s been

Saying this for a couple years but it took me a while to to really know this is trust the process when it comes to smashing burgers the right way trust the process when it comes to how long things should be cooking trust the process everything will end up working out but

Just trust what you’ve learned and Trust what you know and I would say that it helps a lot it started with when I started following recipes could be like there’s no way this is going to work out but guess what trust the process trust the process and have patience so we did

The the Burger King you know copycat of the Patty Ms you know even now as long as we’ve done this you know we ran out of we’re out of parchment paper so we tried doing the smash nice and easy heating up the the press and it didn’t

Work but guess what it didn’t affect the flavor the burger kind of kind of like mushed up a bit but uh we flipped it we saved it so just know that that you can save it too just again trust the process have the patience the food’s going to be

Delicious right I wish I would have known that before I tossed all the burnt buns across the the the yard once only happened once though uh but yeah you really do want to trust the process and that’s something that uh you get more and more the hang of and and this seems

Like one that maybe you just have to learn on your own as you go but we still are to this day yeah but you got to take everything out to the griddle with you it Cooks fast it Cooks hot fast yeah just keep that in mind is yeah it Cooks

Fast because you can’t and there sometimes we’re filming and Adam wants to get the perfect shot I’m like Adam you do realize that is food actively cooking right now I know Adam is a perfectionist when it comes to this editing and making sure the videos are

Just right that I mean you should see him in hair and makeup dude it’s crazy I can’t no but uh but yeah remember the food is the food is cooking so you just keep that in mind try try your best to have everything that you need and

Speaking of the the food cooking we talked about this with the heat the biggest thing is that you almost never need the high heat that I don’t know why that took so long to learn I would always between medium and medium high and all that like all in there for Smash

Burgers we get it burgers and steaks all day it’s got to be on high but these griddles get over 600° for good Smash Burger 450 500 on that we’re not we’re not these aren’t stone fire pizzas you know yeah we’re not cooking on the sun

And so you know so you don’t need the high heat and also it’s going to save you on propane to not have it running on high so lower temperatures are better in fact almost for everything else start low and figure it out people ask us all

The time where do we cook and I would say 90% of our dishes are medium low we is if you’re looking at the dial on the clock from the six Just Between the seven right about the seven yeah right around the seven between the six and

Yeah the six eight would be seven about 35 past the hour that’s right uh and that’s just because it just we’ve learned and then we adjust the dials as needed that’s the other thing with trusting the process sometimes things are cooking slow okay bring the heat up

A little bit and it is an entire hot pad so it is hard to cool so sometimes moving food off The Hot Zone entirely is what’s necessary let it cool and then keep going and BR we could go on and on with a lot of different things but as we

Talked about it I mean there’s things that we learned I would say one that was kind of tricky and funny use paper towels I say I went through red towels and shop towels and cut up shirt oh my gosh my whole stack of cut up shirts I forgot about

That and then I only need the blue shop towels and then it was you know all these things and then I just finally came down to it uh you’re going to get a little lint on it but you learn over time you start wiping it off and it can

All come off just with paper towels the paper towels work just as good as anything in so it’s just a little thing that I would say trial and error and now I use only paper towels and it’s never an issue exactly um know obviously if I’m running a Commercial Business that’s

Obviously going to be different but here we are so I would say final bre let’s don’t go into too much detail so let’s just wrap up with one more what’s the last one that that that we both talked about and really I think is the most important because we wasted so much time

And effort with our first couple of griddles that um it doesn’t have to look perfect you got to remember especially when you’re cooking as much as we do and I talked to so many people that say man once I got my griddle I didn’t realize I

Was going to use it five times a week uh you just got to keep seasoning and make sure that it is maintained it doesn’t have to look perfect and I think with that too is and that that’s where it becomes discouraging for some people that like I didn’t know how much

Maintenance was going to go into this well if you clean it right after it it’s really little maintenance and it doesn’t have to look perfect we’ve we’ve done the fixing video a couple times where we’ve had to fix it I think we have a couple where we’ve resurfaced the

Completely grinded it down I don’t know that I would do that again unless I just completely had a a griddle that was left out for two seasons and the rust was too deep we’ve we’ve had surface R rust we’ve been able to scrape it off reason

It and it’s good to go exactly as long as the food is not sticking on your griddle you do not need to reason it if it looks diseased if it looks rough it’s still okay it’s still cooking and it’s still going to make some amazing F and

It gives it its own little personality too that’s right it does so that’s it man that’s it like if are there other tips that you wish you knew when you started griddle cooking and put those in the comments below this is just kind of a beginning we might do something like
