I did burger patties on mine a couple of nights ago,

our plan is to do Hawaiian Burgers on ours tonight .... this will be our first for beef burgers .... I've take a look at bunches of YouTube videos on smash burgers and I'm sure sooner or later will give them a try .... that said, classic thick burgers are my favorite .... for the burgers we are going to fix tonight, we will take the juice from a can of pineapple slices and blend it in with 93/7 ground beef .... we will caramelize a few slices of the pineapple to put on the burgers .... its a pretty simple process that is a longstanding family favorite

the Hawaiian Burgers pretty dang good .... since we had it going we decided to cook up a full pack of bacon to use for breakfast and a couple of other dishes we have on tap

tonight we had our first attempt at chicken wings with mushrooms as a side dish .... not bad at all .... while they looked crunchy, next time we'll up the grilling temp to increase the crunch

10 DAY IMPRESSIONS :

POSITIVE :
cleaning after use is simple and easy .... the cooking surface is easy to remove for cleaning .... its (literally) requires little more than wiping with a damp rag/paper towel followed by wiping it dry .... no scraping

it can drastically reduce the number pots and/or pans needed to prepare a meal

being electric (like our other grills and smokers) no propane required

for me, its fun to use

NEGATIVE :
its size requires considerable counter space when used inside .... storage when not in use needs to be planned for .... this same issue needs to be planned for when used while traveling/camping ....

as with other cooking appliances there is definitely a learning curve in using it .... YouTube videos are plentiful and as with it on other subjects, they may or may not be helpful helpful

for only a couple of folks there are much simpler forms of cooking

I may get one for the house as a dedicated pancake griddle. I have enough cast iron skillets for other items.

I like your ten day assessment Jim. Fair and honest.

one of our motivations for purchasing a griddle is to cook sausage that we purchase locally and can't find anywhere else .... after being cooked we vacuum seal and freeze the links/patties that we will use at home; as well as, to take with us when we are on the road

we purchase sausage (bulk and link) from a local abattoir (AKA : slaughterhouse) .... we buy both in (roughly) one pound packages .... we freeze it and later take out three or so packs at a time and process/cook them .... today we cooked and repackaged three of each .... I prefer the link sausage to hotdogs so we cut ours to roughly 6" lengths .... the bulk is formed into quarter pound patties .... having them frozen and ready to heat saves Maureen time at breakfast .... as can be seen our E-Series Blackstone Griddle really works well .... with it, we can quickly and easily handle the sausage .... couldn't resist throwing in three thick pork chops that will be reheated for tonight's meal
