Hello blackstone owners. How would you describe the curve of your griddle? Mine puts oil towards the corners. Wondering if i warped it. Been slowly reading through the manual. Today i got to the part that says "do not add water to the entire surface as it can cause warping".
I notice the supports welded to the bottom of the griddle. They sure could do a better job at that. Each piece of metal has 3 tiny welds. Each side and the center. The bar sits a good sixteenth away from the surface. At first i thought it was to help create an even temp. If that was the case it would be nice if the metal supports had contact with the griddle surface. Thinking now its just to prevent warping.
I dont remember the oil falling to the corners so quickly. Thinking i might have slightly warped mine. Have cleaned it twice. Full blast hot and then dumped water on the entire surface. Should have known better. Every pan i have ever own says to avoid adding cold water to a hot surface to avoid warping.
I guess while cooking you can deglaze. But the volume of liquid is little. So warping is less likely to happen.
The blackstone manual i have says only do 6" sections at a time. Using something like 1 or 2 teaspoons or tablespoons. Dont remember exactly but you get the idea.
