What temperature SHOULD you cook on my Griddle- Does it matter?

“What griddle temperature are you cooking at?”… That’s the number one question that I get asked about flat top grilling. But it’s definitely not a cut and dry answer, and the flat top grill temp fluctuates so much that it’s difficult to give you an exact griddle temp.

So I wanted to make this video so that you better understand griddle temperatures for your Camp Chef or Blackstone griddle.

It’s a lot of information, so I tried to break it down into 7 main things you need to know about flat top grill temperatures. Whether you’re a flat top grill beginner or you’ve cooked on one for years, hopefully you’ll pick up some good tips.

Truth be told, I don’t really think flat top grill cooking temperatures matter… Unless you’re cooking something like eggs that you want to cook at a lower temp, or you’re trying to get a good crust on your meat, like smashburgers or a seared steak, and then you want to cook at a higher griddle temp.

Other than that, a lot of foods don’t really care what temp they’re cooked at… For instance, bacon can be cooked at 325 or 375 degrees. It doesn’t have to be exact.

And if you have any specific questions or comments about flat top grill temperature on your Blackstone or Camp Chef, then leave me a comment.
