Remember When I Brought An Instant Pot? It Made Me Buy a Blackstone Electric Tabletop Griddle….

If I learned nothing else from the pandemic it was how not to burn boiling water! My friends, I must brag and tell you I’ve become quite the little chef during lock down. I was very adult like several weeks ago when I purchased a Star Wars Instant Pot. What? It has little Baby Yodas all over it how could I resist? It actually goes with nothing in my kitchen though so it’s been confined to the butler’s pantry and comes out when I cook. I’m not convinced I’m an Instant Pot genie as of yet but I’m working on my skills. So far, I’ve made pasta in it and that turned out pretty good. My Italian mother stroked out when I told her this on Facetime but ya know, quick and easy is the order of the day sometimes.

But really, I took a few master classes during lock down and my cooking skills have improved. I started following this lady on Tiktok who has a Blackstone BBQ. I know, I know, freaking Tiktok made me buy it….but in all seriousness, she makes all these cool dinners on that BBQ. I made me really want one of those flat top grills but unfortunately at both our houses the BBQs are actually built into cabinets on the patio. It’s not really possible to just switch it out with a freestanding grill.

UNTIL NOW……………

Cue the dramatic music.

So, this lady on Tiktok has the full-size Blackstone which is basically just a big giant griddle. It’s really not a traditional BBQ grill at all. I do question the point of it sometimes because are you really getting the effects of a BBQ when you’re just cooking on a big old griddle? Regardless, I still wanted it for some odd reason. And now I can have it. She actually recommended a Blackstone E-Series 17″ Electric Tabletop Griddle. I was so upset because it was out of stock at every single evil empire within my area (and online). I popped my name into the alert me box and within an hour of doing so it came back into stock and I snagged it. It arrives today and I’m thinking tonight we rebel and have breakfast for dinner! I already grabbed all the ingredients for blueberry pancakes early this AM from Amazon Fresh.

I dunno how often I’m going to use this thing but I’m going to have fun finding out. I’m wondering if my dad might like it. It’s his b-day in a few weeks and I’m really struggling what to get him! He loves to cook and this seemed fun for him to make breakfast. My mom will likely be horrified by it but I think he’d really dig it!

So, that’s my cooking tale for today 🙂

Anyone have a Blackstone?
