Pro Tips for Blackstone Appetizer Success
- Two-Zone Setup – Keep one area medium-low as a “warming lane” so early batches stay hot without overcooking. We often will serve straight from the griddle.
- Use a Dome Lid – Captures radiant heat for fast cheese melts or to steam veggies without losing the sear.
- Oil Wisely – High-smoke-point oils (avocado, canola) prevent sticking. Make sure to apply with a squeeze bottle for control.
- Prep in Pans – Small aluminum pans let you shuttle pre-cut toppings to the griddle and keep your station organized.
