Product Information

Full details

The Blackstone 28 Inch Omnivore Griddle is an ideal outdoor cooking solution for home cooks who need versatility and efficiency for everything from breakfast to dinner. Its standout feature is the Omnivore plate technology, which delivers faster preheating and superior heat recovery for consistent results across its 524 square inches of surface area; however, users should note that as a dedicated outdoor appliance, it requires a propane or butane gas supply and proper winter storage to maintain the seasoning of the steel plate.

FAQs

Does the griddle come with a gas regulator?

Yes, the unit is designed for standard gas connections and includes the necessary regulator for use with propane or butane tanks.

Can I use metal utensils on the Omnivore plate?

Yes, the steel surface is designed for use with metal spatulas and scrapers, which are actually helpful for cleaning and maintaining the surface.

How do I clean the grease trap?

The rear grease management system directs waste into a removable cup; simply wait for it to cool, remove the cup, and dispose of the grease properly.

Do I need to keep the griddle covered?

Yes, while the hood protects the cooking surface, using a full-length cover will protect the entire unit from rain, dust, and debris.

What is the BAR accessory system?

It is a specialized attachment system on the side shelves that allows you to customize the placement of hooks, paper towel holders, and other proprietary Blackstone accessories.

Troubleshooting

Ignition system fails to spark

Check if the battery for the electric igniter is fresh and properly installed; ensure wires to the igniter electrodes are securely connected.

Uneven heating across the plate

Ensure the griddle is sitting on level ground and check that burner tubes are clear of spider webs or debris that might cause irregular flame patterns.

Food sticking to the surface

The surface likely needs additional seasoning; clean the griddle thoroughly, apply a fresh thin layer of oil, and heat it until the oil polymerizes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficient heat recovery and distribution
  • Large 524-square-inch cooking surface
  • Versatile dual-zone temperature control
  • Convenient built-in hood for protection
  • Easy-to-use push-button electric ignition

Cons

  • Requires manual seasoning of the steel surface
  • Heavy unit may be difficult to move on uneven ground
  • Requires dedicated propane or butane tank storage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial setup involves attaching the legs and shelves, which should take approximately 30-45 minutes with standard tools. Before your first cook, you must perform a seasoning process: coat the surface with a thin layer of cooking oil and heat it until it smokes, repeating this 3-4 times to create a non-stick patina.

Compatibility: This model is designed for use with standard propane or butane cylinders. Ensure your gas line connections are secure and leak-free before each use.

Care: After each cook, scrape the surface clean while it is still warm. Once cool, wipe down with a light coat of oil to prevent rust. Always store the unit with the lid down, and consider using a fitted cover if the griddle is stored in an uncovered outdoor area.
