People!! I purchased a camp chef flat top grill while my wife had a contractor put in a real kitchen. I was not disappointed!! This grill is outstanding simple reliable and cooks food beautifully!! Outstanding!! Be careful with the grease drain. Once the grill is hot lower the heat to the lowest setting as the hot iron will maintain an even heat and not burn food!
Goodness, that's probably the best meal I've seen made on a flat top, and the way you make it sounds and look so easy helps so much. Was thinking about getting a flat top (not this one, too poor) but you sold me over a regular grill. Only thing I can think a regular grill does better is grill marks, wind managment, and sealing in heat (a lid for roasts). The shear convenience of these while doing average things like burgers, hot dogs, fries, eggs, bacon... ect is awesome and such a time saver.
Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier czcams.com/users/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . 1) One person can assemble, but if you have a buddy to help, it will make it go faster - especially steps 1-3 and 8 (the legs aren't heavy but can be difficult to hold while screwing things in). Step 8, 1st part will take some time unless you have two more hands OR are really lucky. 2) Use a socket wrench! 3) Step 7, 3rd part - the flame carry over tube has an open side, MAKE SURE THE OPEN SIDE IS FACING THE FRONT. If it's facing the back, the tube won't work. 4) Step 10, 3rd part - if you don't have small hands (I don't, they're gigantic) getting the nut on is really difficult (but not impossible). It took me about 4 hours to assemble, but I took a "union break" every 60-90 minutes and ate a quick lunch. Also, I'm really OCD so I took my time, looked at the instructions carefully, and cleaned up as I went.
Jon , try putting the corn straight on the flat top withe a seasoned butter/oil mixture , cover with a bowl or any deep cover for a couple minutes with a spray of water , au jus is nice too turn and cover again for a couple more minutes ...really good ......nice vid by the way .
I cooked in a diner style restaurant for 30 years. We had three 36" in flat tops in our kitchen. Needless to say, I know a lot about cooking on them. Your meal looked really, really good! Only thing for me is that I like my steak a little more on the rare side!
Love my Camp Chef flat top and have made many steaks on it, as well as all of the other goodies. Would love to see more of this vids like Blackstone have with their flat top. Keep them coming. Thanks.
@@FernandoRodriguez-ds5ri I love it. I really enjoy cooking on this thing. Take care on cleaning and seasoning the griddle; not that it's difficult. Although no grill marks, steaks turn out really well and having foods sectioned off at different temps on the griddle is next level. There's a tonne of recipe ideas on YT for ya. Best.
Just got us the Blackstone Tail Gater , Really liking it so far. But have already maybe realized Might should have got the little bigger griddle......but We'll see, Just wife and me.... But loving the griddle for sure!!
I completely agree forget the flame it just makes a huge mess. the flat top allows the steaks to cook in their own juices. flat top wins this guy is a wonderful chef
A friend of mine bought one of these griddles last summer, he bought it because of all the hype around these things. He invited me over for the first cookout. He cook some steaks on it and some burgers. We both talked it over and said that they tasted good, but they also tasted like something that could have been cooked inside. When we cook outside we kind of want that outdoor grilled flavor on our food. And the flat top just wasn't giving that. I got an infrared grill that heats up to 600 - 700 degrees pretty fast. And there's no flame ups with that, and everytime I grease drips down it gives off smoke. Just gives a nice flavor to the food. For any kind of meat my choice is a grill, sorry. What they should do is a blind taste test. Go to a street fair or something like that. Take a charcoal grill, a gas grill, and one of these flat top grills, and cook some steaks on each one of them. Hand out some samples to people and don't tell them which one was cooked on which. Then see which one the people thinks is better tasting. My money would be on the charcoal one first, gas grill second, and the flap top would come in third. That's JMHO of course.
if you must have grill marks I'm sure you could just lay a grill grate on top, let it get hot, then lay your meat on it for a minute, then remove grate for final cook through.
If y’all want to pick up the fond off of a flat top use a ladle full of chicken or beef stock. Flavors the potatoes or vegetables you got cooking alongside it.
NorCal SawSquatch You can purchase them. I have a 14”x16” reversible grill/griddle. I’m thinking of purchasing another 14”x16” to cover the other burner.
I saw a video for using a potato to clean the griddle surface. I guess cooking the potatoes where the steaks were cooked will help clean the griddle? Just got my Denali pro 3x and luv it. I have the 2 burner griddle to compliment the single burner griddle that came with the stove coming today so I can cool lotsa pancakes.
Well done Camp Chef - all cheap shots from the wanna be, peanut gallery to the contrary. The steaks were perfectly done to the degree that I like them. I don't own an outdoor flat top but from time to time I do use my indoor, stove top griddle for equally rewarding and delicious culinary adventures. Thank you for sharing. For this next coming Winter, the dice have been cast. Cheers!
I believe he intended to say smoke point, vs flash point, which is the temp that any particular oil smokes/begins to break down/loses flavor. Don't let oil heat up too long before cooking with it...
I'm new to this flat top cooking. I got a Blackstone today. Can you please tell me why you said that the steaks were ready (2:33)-ish but you didn't flip them. Don't you have to flip them and do them both sides? Okay, thank you for helping make lives better with teaching us how to cook at home.
Best thing to do is buy a grill for steaks and meat+ buy little griddle ( universal gas grill grate insert) . Best of both worls, Smokey grill flavored Steaks and meats+ hibachi / breakfast.
I have almost always used a small cast-iron flat steak griddle or just a skillet on a BBQ. I think steak is much better grilled than cooked over open flame.
just an FYI, that is not a cast iron griddle. that camp chef griddle is a big piece of steel with a coating they spray on. Over time it actually rubs away and sadly into your food. Not sure what the spray is specifically, but it is NOT cast iron. camp chef has a half griddle that is cast iron, if you want cast iron go that route, not the full length nonstick spray piece of steel.
Hardwood charcoal can be freaking amazing! Like smoking with cherry or apple wood chips! I like the variety of cooking between grill and griddle. So much food, so many ways to cook it! :)
I knew this was going to be good as soon I saw my mans mustache and dad outfit. Bet you he’s wearing some white new balance shoes...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Only the CLEANEST of the crisp white new balance shoes.....the gray ones are reserved strictly for mowing the lawn 🤣
Tan leather boat shoes appear at 4:19. 😂
Lol...😂
There will be smart jacket with leather elbow pads hanging up somewhere. This is a guy that does things properly

I always enjoyed watching my dad fighting off the flair ups when I was growing up
@ 70+ That's why my son's watch me Barbie 🔥🔥🔥🔥 lol 🇨🇦
This grill rocks! I've had mine for about 2 months now, and I love it. The combination of flat top griddle and grill is nothing short of amazing!
froggie6608 Really? You're amazed?
Ho Lee Phuk doesn't take much

Nice job.Thank you for showing how a flat top performs.After watching this video,im more inclined to purchase one now.
Just got a flat grill and this video is awesome!
Subscribed when he said these were veggies from his garden!

I bet y'all never was bothered by any flare ups. 😊

Great video and so useful. Just what I wanted to see.
Va multumesc pentru ajutorul domneavoastra eu sunt din Rumania 🇷🇴 frumos video.
I bought the grill yesterday and haven't used it yet. Apparently, I made a great purchase. Great video Chef.
How you like it so far. Thinking of getting one instead of a regular grill

“ The Benihana”. I lol’d when he said that.
Okay 👌 Ronnie!! We are going to cook this dinner for the ladies at some point during the summer!!Amazing !!🍷🧅🥔🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩
I’ve been cooking for 15 years professionally, I’ve never ever herd the term raise the flashpoint, lol. I like the flat top though, need one of those.
I haven’t heard it either. Guessing he means use the oil to ease the burning of the butter. Lol
Great ! It looks extremely professional! Keep up the excellent work!
That’s my dad! Love ya pop!
I have blackstone grill, flare ups do not occur. Great way to cook, moreover you have cooking zones so you can cook at different temperatures.
You have a beautiful back yard
That's what she said
I cover potatoes to build a steamer and then finish browning with cover off excellent video ✅

Timothy Hoffer He might be a great chef but this is just being a cook. It's a diner without a roof.

Drooling here, need to buy one 😋 thanks for a great vid.
Woo, just put that grill together today! Making steaks tomorrow, and breakfast the following day. Excited!
2:58 Who gave him permission to use my little grill cleaner?
You have a great looking backyard. I'll be using my new flattop grill this summer.
Nice!! I need one of these to cook hibachi food. your food looks delicious by the way! Thanks for sharing!
if you must have grill marks I'm sure you could just lay a grill grate on top, let it get hot, then lay your meat on it for a minute, then remove grate for final cook through.
great video, this food looks divine, i hope that i can be a cool dad like this
single mom It's a fried steak. You need to get out more.
Looks good. I would have put the potatoes on earlier... nothing like good crunch on the outside of the potato and soft inside.
I've been wanting one of those since 1942
So has Hitler
The way this guy says vegetables lol I laugh every time for some reason
vaygtables
Just put mine together and can't wait to use it. Wouldn't you know it - first snow of the fall.
Now I'm hungry. Time to head outside can prepare my morning Ribeye
If y’all want to pick up the fond off of a flat top use a ladle full of chicken or beef stock. Flavors the potatoes or vegetables you got cooking alongside it.
This grill is NICE. It def would be bad ass if it had a 2/piece griddle flat top. So u could 50/50 grill and griddle @ the same time!
NorCal SawSquatch You can purchase them. I have a 14”x16” reversible grill/griddle. I’m thinking of purchasing another 14”x16” to cover the other burner.
I wonder if u got any flair ups
Alex I think he might have
Lol
Why do you say that
only the minimum 3 pieces of flair, I was hoping for more
He doesn't really like talking about his flair
WOW, YOU ARE SUCH AN EXPERT!
Potatoes take a long time to crisp Start before the steak same with veggies Or you have cold steak I like that knife
Great video I'm getting a flat top
Great video! Thx

excellent video. my first cook is in progress. versa 14"
Well you convinced me😋 first no Flare up! 🔥🔥Second, good or veggies did not drop in between the grill so I am gonna buy me a flat top👍

Flaming Volcano !
Love the collander..... got one identical

That looks delicious
Nicely done
Nice ! Enjoyed ur video !!!
A Steak Cooked on a Flat Top Grill YUK Flame = Flavor
1995dresser that's where you are totally wrong. I mean totally.
That looks fantastic
Looks great! Nice job!
I'm new to this flat top cooking. I got a Blackstone today. Can you please tell me why you said that the steaks were ready (2:33)-ish but you didn't flip them. Don't you have to flip them and do them both sides? Okay, thank you for helping make lives better with teaching us how to cook at home.

That looks great
Thank you sir..God Bless
I´m hungry now... thanks to you!!!
Good job Lefty
Short and sweet. Love It.
I must say I wish i had seen this dude cook before i bought a competitor. Either way flat tops are the way too go.
I don't see this griddle doing anything better than my Blackstone !
I wish you would have mentioned temperatures of the grill 😕
how is this different from cooking this in a skillet on the stove? I definitely wouldn't be critical of other methods either
Abraham O you will be outside and portable.
more surface area to cook on and no mess and smell in the house.
I purchased a similar tacklife plancha from Amazon, which is handy for lazy people like me.
just an FYI, that is not a cast iron griddle. that camp chef griddle is a big piece of steel with a coating they spray on. Over time it actually rubs away and sadly into your food. Not sure what the spray is specifically, but it is NOT cast iron. camp chef has a half griddle that is cast iron, if you want cast iron go that route, not the full length nonstick spray piece of steel.
Looks good 👍
Hi I would have started potatoes first then add vegetable steaks later since they cooked so fast
For sure, we like the potatoes well done and a bit crispy, no way those steaks were still warm when it was all done.
I think you did a great job and I like the set up but I am a purest and love my hardwood charcoal! Great job though I would scarf it up!
Hardwood charcoal can be freaking amazing! Like smoking with cherry or apple wood chips! I like the variety of cooking between grill and griddle. So much food, so many ways to cook it! :)
may I recommend using a bench scraper instead of a spatula works great
Great video
"Look at how that cleans up!" * Doesn't clean up *
Use a flat light weight steak weight to prevent steak from curling. This caused by the fat cooking out. Good job on no flair ups!
No Flair up?!?!
Great looking meal! We will have to try this. Anything you would do different? Possibly put potatoes on earlier next time?
it would be helpful you added the temp for each item and the approximate time you left the steaks, potatoes and vegetables for us newbs
Delicious meal 👍
It would be nice to what temperature setting.
1.9M people just trying to watch someone that resembles their Dad cooking some stuff up on the grill
easy fella, that shirt says you have used to much seasoning, lol. Nice vid!
well done. bravo
Ok Great video . I just ordered the camp chef Griddle today .
Great video.
Can you scrape like that, with metal utensils, if your griddle has a nonstick coating?
What temperature are u using on the steak side and what temperature for the potatoes
My guy!
What temperature are you using… medium -high?
When is the next part coming out, when he does the stir fry like the writeup claims?
Lol
This may be a stupid question but what is the flashpoint ?
You are the man
Does it matter if you slice the potatoes or cube them?
That is an insane amount of seasoning
What about the rust when no using
Fantastic! 👍
