I like your style. Get to the point with no flowery speech. That's a great video.

Probably the very best video I've ever seen on tips for beginning griddle users. THANK YOU

[sarrel]

I just so happy to see how much your subcribers have grown because you wouldn't give up your believed you could do it and your did. By next week you should be at 10k

I've done the bonus tip! Have been doing workout for the past 25 years! Bought a griddle last week. Time to make a change in life!

Hey Johnny, I think another good tip for beginners would be to level your griddle. Don't need the oil running off to the side or corner.

Oh my God, all the bud light comments are comedy gold. Great video by the way, and I think you handled those comments well.

Great tips! I especially like the “bonus” tip 😆

My add on tip... for a “ghetto bacon press” I wrap a brick with aluminum foil. I use it on a lot more than just bacon!

Loved this - a griddle truly changes things. As an RV person, I have a griddle and a grill, and while the principal advice works with both the larger and smaller griddles, here's what I would add:
Definitely know your griddle - the hot spots and the warm spots. You are a griddle god when you can make the toast, eggs and bacon finish at the same time based on where you locate them.
Portable griddles - spend time leveling them as best you can before you go crazy. That same griddle that worked to perfection will crap-out when out of level.
Portable griddles part 2 - no, sorry, travelers: griddles don't replace grills. Griddles+smashburgers = success. Griddles+fat sirloin burgers = greasy messes that would have completed 1000 times better on a standard grill. Fry versus flame broil. You can come close to emulating, but you can't replace. I have both units in my rig for a reason.
Like any long-term relationship, provide much love to your griddle surface. The difference between a crap cooking session and success is determined about how that griddle surface has been maintained. This won't be new news to anybody who's spent time worshipping at the cast-iron pan altar. Keep that griddle surface oil-pre-treated and loved, and it will deliver you eggs without torn-up yolks, burgers flipped without a mechanical fight, and clean-ups with not much more than a damp rag run over the still-warm surface. At the end of every RV season, I lovingly gift the surface with a scouring followed by a ~ 1 hour treatment with the RIGHT oil, to leave me a griddle next season ready to love me back.

Love the humor in your video. This was an important teaching video. Thanks for making it for us beginners. Loved the part about taking up exercising and lying to your doctor. Thanks big time!

Hey Johnny, I'm a big fan of your channel. I recently purchased a Made In indoor griddle which I use on our gas stove. There are surprisingly few youtube videos on cooking with that product. I think it would be a popular one if you want some new material now that we are heading into the colder months. Keep up the good work.

Great video, right to the point!! No long flowery explanations... thanks for all you

[jerryu]

Great tips for sure. I have used the mayo tip for toasting for at least a year or more and it's perfect. Since watching your videos I have turned down the heat on my eggs. My eggs now look better and even taste better since I always used pretty high heat. Thanks.

[FlyingMonkeys]

Thanks ! All good tips for a novice griddle guy like myself. Getting ready to do my first grill today

[kendallsherryleech]

Within the first 20 seconds, I said to myself, “ self, this guy could be your best friend!!” Great tips and video, for a guy that’s not “ the sharpest tool in the shed”, but likes to eat good food!

[leeball]

Nice pun with the beveled edge/sharpest tool in the shed 😉 Thanks for the tips, your vids are great!

[jimmycedillo]

LOL @4:00 "BONUS TIP" I feel you brother. Thank you for making these videos!

[christopherbarker]

I don't use plastic squeeze bottles. I use recycled glass soy sauce bottle. The ones that look like half of an hour glass. Great video!

We're a family of 6 and ever since I saw my buddy (family of 8) use his griddle I was sold. Moving next week and buying a brand new griddle to bring with me. Thanks for all the tips Johnny 👍

[postdeep]

Johnny... my Midwest hero! Is gang out with this guy. Thanks for the tips sir. You're right, some I knew... but some are mind blowing. Thanks pal

[Skyline-Imaging]

Love the tip on the warming rack - thanks Johnny
