Been watching these griddles for awhile and finally pulled the trigger after seeing your video. I got 6% off by registering with Vevor and then used your code today for another 5. Ordered the 30" to replace my Balckstone E-series dual element griddle.
So you ordered the one that has two separate controls or one. The bigger one with 2 temp controls needs a dedicated circuit to use it. The griddle does not have a plug on it. You would need an electrician to set it up unless you're handy with that.
@@griddlecookeatandmore correct. I realized that about an hour after ordering. Tried to swap out for the smaller (21”) but they couldn’t do it. They tried to cancel but it wouldn’t cancel even though it hadn’t been that long. Now I’ll either have to refuse shipment (probably will not be there when it arrives) or pay return shipping. Not happy about that but my fault for not catching the 32amp breaker thing.
Great addition to your cooking arsenal Doug. Looks like a good little griddle. Just plug it in and get to cooking. You definitely got the smash burgers down to a science! Great job my friend.
You should get you one. For when it's super cold out. You might have to change the channel name to Poor Guy and Outdoor Cooking unless it's too Cold Out
A cover would be nice. For me I will mainly use it inside in the winter or don't feel like firing up the gas griddle. I will tell you this it made the best Smash Burger I have ever made.
I had it set to 350 but I think it runs about 40 degrees hotter than the dial. I think it was close to 400. Overall for 115 bucks these were the best Smash Burgers I have made
Nice unit Doug, I would think no seasoning needed. The Blackstone is probably easier to move around but this definitely looks mote durable! I’m sure you’ll enjoy this griddle. Cheers brother 🍻
From reading a lot of reviews, it definitely needs seasoning. The cooking surface is iron, not stainless, and will rust. It needs the seasoning to protect the metal.
@AltimaNEO it doesn't need to be seasoned if you don't want to. There are many commercial griddles with the top made out of the same material. It will rust if you leave it sit outside for sure. I use this indoor and 0 rust issues.
@@griddlecookeatandmore Great to know, thank you. Its difficult to really know when Vevor's own information is contradicting itself, and user reviews saying another.
I come from a long restaurant background. I intentionally bought this griddle to not season it. It makes the best smash burgers of all griddles. It even says in the manual to clean it with a griddle cleaner.
I wonder why they switched from the big spatulas in the older version to the dinky ones in the new version. Ive seen other vendors selling the same griddle under a different brand, but include the same spatulas ad brushes. Guess its a different manufacturer making these for Vevor and whomever else wants to slap their brand on it.
I have the same problem using an infrared on (*what I assume is stainless) due to the low emissivity of the stainless. Hopefully the griddle will season bit over time and keep the sticking to a minimum. Looks like a nice unit.
It will work after you cook on it a bit and get it dirty. I bought a griddle thermometer that sits right on top. It's thermostatically controlled so you really don't need a thermometer. I'm not seasoning this griddle. I want it to be like a restaurant griddle. This little griddle is bad ass. If you're looking for a Indoor griddle this is the way to go much better than the Blackstone E series.
@@griddlecookeatandmore Hey, How do you think it seems to be holding up to not being seasoned? The other reviews I'm seeing are all seasoning theirs and I'd prefer not too, so I'm curious to know how its gone for you so far. Nice channel by the way. I've watched quite a few of your videos during my research for my first flat top :)
@OminousForces Thanks for watching some of my content. The griddle holds up just fine. It's one of my favorite griddles. I just used it tonight. You can't go wrong with it for the price. Here is a link to the 21" I have. s.vevor.com/bfQIB0
It is time to pull the trigger and get you one. You will love it for sure. Be sure to use the link and discount code in the description I got from Andy at The Food Experience UA-cam channel. With his discount code it is $115 bucks right now. Don't wait around get one ordered and let's see the review. Then we can do a Vevor colab. 👍👍👍
awesome review thx....now i just have to decide which size to get 14 / 22 / 29 inch.....have you used the 29 and if so was it much of a difference and was it too big for the countertop ?...again great video....cheers from Canada
I have not used the 29". I think it may be a little too big for the counter. It also is fairly heavy if you need to move it around. The other problem is it needs a dedicated 30A 110 plug to use it. In the US that is not a normal household outlet so you would need to run one which would cost way more than the griddle. I think the 21" is the perfect size the 14" for me would be smaller than I want. If you have the room go with the 21" Thanks for watching.

i have a feeling i will be ordering this, been wanting one for a long time, love me some smash burgers, LOL, thank you for the review.
Thanks for watching. This little griddle is bad ass and a lot of fun. Here is a link to it.s.vevor.com/bfQIB0
Looks really nice Doug! I wish it had a cover on it…cheers!

I been wanting to get a griddle myself. Great review man
Dude you would love this thing. $115 bucks is not a bad deal. I have link and a discount code in the description
I like it. What temp was on the dial that you were cooking the burgers.
I had it set to 350 but I think it runs about 40 degrees hotter than the dial. I think it was close to 400. Overall for 115 bucks these were the best Smash Burgers I have made
Thank you.
Did you get one?
@@griddlecookeatandmore yes, waiting for it to arrive through fed ex.
I am ready to cook up some epic meals!
@SypherSeven you will love it. I might fire mine up tonight when I get home.
nice crust on the burgers !!
This little griddle makes one hell of a smash burger.
Nice unit Doug, I would think no seasoning needed. The Blackstone is probably easier to move around but this definitely looks mote durable! I’m sure you’ll enjoy this griddle. Cheers brother 🍻
So far I love this griddle. I will do a head to head video with the Blackstone E series. Thanks for watching.

I ditched the little spatulas it comes with. I do love the griddle.
The larger one has two burners on it for better control. That would be the one for me.
I wanted the bigger one but you need a dedicated 30a 110 outlet for it. Normal household outlets do not cut it.
@@griddlecookeatandmore yep I see that now!
Was thinking about these but nope I'll keep using my Blackstone. I can cook smash burgers really good no problem.
Do you have a gas Blackstone?

Obviously you were needing a new griddle 🤣. Looks pretty cool. And NOOO I do not need one....
Oh you do need one and a popcorn popper. We need to get your snack bar set up.
yes sir, looking good, man you are like Chef emeril Lagasse, LOL i would eat one of those smash burgers, excellent.
Thanks. If you love smash burgers this is the griddle for you.
lol, it is on its way, can hardly wait to get it, and heck yes the price is right, awesome griddle.
I noticed it’s a non stick surface. Shouldnt you not be scraping it with a steel scraper if it is? Or is it cast iron? I’m seeing mixed specs
It has an iron griddle plate. It does not have a Teflon or Ceramic coating so it's ok to use metal utensils.
Why do you do this to me, brother. I now need one. Awesome as always Doug. You suck making me spend money.🤣

did you end up seasoning it?
Nope. I intentionally bought it not to season. I wanted to use it like a restaurant griddle. This thing makes the best Smash Burgers.
How do you form the pattys?
I use a 1/3 cup measuring cup. This gives me about a 2.5 ounce puck I can use for smash burgers
you burned the shit out of those burgers. wow.
Not burned. This is called the Maillard reaction the key to a great smash burger.
