Another great video, thx boys. I have steel and ceramic and I can verify both are great. When peeps ask me which to buy, I respond with this: If you are diligent at taking the couple extra steps of maintaining steel (ensuring it has been and remains thoroughly dry and lightly coated with oil after every cook) then go with steel. If the ability to cook non-stick with minimal clean-up is more important, then go with ceramic. They can both cook anything. Steel provides a better sear and ceramic provides better non-stick.
BOOM!! I think this is perfect brother! We appreciate it so much and feel many will benefit from this advice! 🔥🔥
I'm in the opposite boat... I feel like my ceramic top needs much more TLC/has a fatal flaw when it comes to griddling. I've never used cold-rolled, however, with my ceramic, I got it replaced once already and had sticking issues big time. Did nothing different than these Bois and other PitBoss griddle creators. I'm on my second surface and it is starting to do the same sticking thing as the other surface. Cold rolled seems to lend itself well to high temps, temp changes and metal tools to scrape off debris... The ceramic one, however, if you scrape stuff off of there, your definitely damaging the surface
I’m on my third ceramic top and having the same issues as the other two. It’s a failed gimmic in my opinion. Wish I went steel
@robertbarry83 cold rolled steel (carbon steel)should be the only option other than stainless steel
Thank you for explanations!
I love this! I agree fully that it comes to preference. I have both, I have found to prefer my steel for the most part but I still show my love to the ceramic. Depends on my mood and what I am cooking.
I have the Pit Boss Sierra and I love it. I cook breakfast, burgers, have not done steaks yet. I just love the whole non stick surface
We have a cast iron Camp Chef griddle at home and a Blackstone griddle in our trailer. We recently bought the Pit Boss Vertical Smoker and can’t wait to try that out this coming weekend. Griddle On!!! 🎉
I recently got the sierra and I love it. East clean up and I enjoy cooking breakfast on it for my kids. Must have for dads (or moms) that make pancakes on the weekends
Absolutely! We love it too!! Brett and I were just talking today, I’m about to do an unboxing of a new Deluxe unit, but we were talking about how many cooks we’ve done on the Sierra of Brett’s and how well it still performs! He’s doing Smashburgers tonight for a large crowd! Take care fam!!🔥🔥
Great content!
I love my steel griddle from blackstone. You guys inspired me to buy one. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the love brother! We’re still here for all of it and we’re happy that you’re happy!🔥🔥
I have the Blackstone steel. It is so easy to take care of. Fast and easy to clean never had any issue with rust or anything and it’s 2 years old. I also live in an area that it snows during the winter. It has been rock solid and been amazing. I smoke my steaks on my pitboss then fire my blackstone up to sear and my smoked butter/garlic mix and do the reverse sear at the end of the cook.
thanks guys, this video gave me the questions I had answered.
Thank you so much for watching, we’re happy this helps!!🔥🔥
You guys are so busy and putting out such great stuff. I feel like we never get to converse anymore - so proud of what you have done! Love the books and the videos. I'm always talking about you guys with my friends and family. I hope we can chat again soon, that was fun. I have been super busy myself, either dealing with health things or the business. Anyway, I think your assessments pretty much nailed which surface people should choose... like if you asked me which Waltwin is my favorite, I would just say "Yes!". Are you guys getting together for the holiday weekend? I'm doing smash burgers for sure! Keep on Griddlin' On my Brothers!
Jason!! Heck yes brother! We are actually together this weekend filming, we’d love to catch up, it has been too long! It’s been busy, and end-of-school year busy is a next level beast!😂😂. That said, we always appreciate the love brother! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥
Awesome video you two Crazie's!!! Much Luv Fam!!! GRIDDLE ON!!!
Wahoo!! Thank you brother!! GRIDDLE ON INDEED!!🔥🔥
My brothers!! So going back a few years ago, your channel is why I purchased a griddle, and I think it's the best vessel for versatile outdoor cooking. You both know I cook on rolled steel (Camp Chef 600), and I haven't experienced cooking on the ceramic top. So, here's my takeaway...
I own both a 3 decade old, very properly seasoned cast iron pan, and a modern nonstick ceramic pan. I'll make my comparison there. Brett, my eggs slide right out of my cast. Also, I get the utility of the ceramic. It certainly has its place. Yes, my cast requires more care, as dose my Camp Chef. Anyone who is passionate about cooking shouldn't care about the extra few minutes to do maintenance. A squeeze of oil on my griddle, or cast, and I'm good to go for next time. I do love that Pit Boss makes the same size top on both steel and ceramic! That's a great option!
You both are so knowledgeable, and help this community in a huge way. Yes, you both always reach out and talk. Keep it up, it's only going to get better! ❤
After watching you two I bought the ceramic. Since I’m 76 I didn’t want to spend the time it takes cleaning the steel compared to the time it takes to clean the ceramic. I keep mine in my garage along with my pellet grills. Have learned so much watching you guys.
Steel cleaning need little to no time, if you don't let it cool down. Always spread some water on the surface once the cooking is done and the vaporising effect does the work.
@@famaccount479exactly!
Love your videos and have both your books. I have two steel griddles but wanted to get a ceramic one. Hard to find one in Albeta,Canada cause they get sold out so fast. People dont want to get steel cause of all the prep work that comes with them. I guess I will keep looking for when one comes available.
304 stainless steel …no rust at all
LE Giddle. The best
Did you come here to compare a $300-$500 griddle to a griddle that retails for almost a grand more?
My biggest concern with the ceramic/teflon/non-stick is the chemicals and their effect on your health long term. For that reason I prefer steel.
Isn’t that all tested by the FDA? Aren’t they BPA free?
@frankconti8042 oh boy, you trust your government
@@frankconti8042 hope you are be sarcastic lol, no way i am buy any non stick bs, season a cast iron and they are good to go
@@yourchava seasoning is a lot of maintenance and without almost perfect care, steel griddles rust or chip, flake, wear out fast
actually no they are not bpa free 😮@frankconti8042
Love you guys. My experience with the 5 burner ultimate ceramic has been different. I have 300 cooks on mine and the surface is wearing off. I have a replacement on order which is still under warranty. If you are are weekend warrior, it may likely last for many years but for me as someone that cooks on it every day, I wouldn't buy it again.
I bought a 36” Blackstone a year ago. If I was doing it again I would of probably bought a ceramic, only reason is for clean up.
I live my griddle
Let me say the cookbooks are awesome
The first one I have about wore out and is stained up.
I just getting my smash burger one.
I buy these for gifts for other griddle cooks.
Last thing sure you don’t need an independent food taster. I could hang in the pool until you are done and give you an honest opinion lol
Great video
Man I love the channel, Bois! I can't help much on opinions on other brands, but sense a bit of a sponsor/promotion offer impacting this video. I was a guy that bought my first griddle, my timing lined up with y'all on the ceramic and PitBoss. Went that way myself and I've had nothing but problems, my cook surface degrades so fast on ceramic, idk what to do!! Flat top king suffered the same issues, he just transferred over to cold-rolled without even bringing it up! I've even had customer support replace my cooktop cause it was definitely not working right, yet I've had it replaced and still there are sections that just stick. I haven't done the baking soda clean on this new surface cause I figured that's what ruinedy last one. same thing plaguing my new surface. Wish I went with the best and got cold-rolled steel. I find myself thinking of ways to help/protect the ceramic surface, meanwhile, I can be maintaining my cold rolled surface just the same and getting results. My ceramic has done nothing but degrade, even with a replacement.
We understand for sure brother and do our best to share our experiences only - we get discouraged when others do not share the same experience we have had, but fully understand the frustration. Feel free to reach out to us - our email is adamandbrettw@gmail.com - much love fam, GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥
Ceramic if you want to replace it every year, steel if you want it to last a decade.
Haha! Good point, but we are definitely willing to give the ceramic more time. The Sierra model we’ve been using that is garage kept has almost 200 cooks, over a year and a half, and still looks brand new! The steel units have already proven their longevity for sure! Take care fam!🔥🔥
loved the gray cat :)
Having just moved from a condo (no grilling allowed) to a hose and being new to griddles I just ordered the Royal Gourmet GD401 half griddle half grill. Felt like a more comfortable intro to the griddlre
Awesome!!! Welcome to the good life brother! Please reach out with any questions! We got you! Griddle on!!!😁❤️🤙
Currently have the ceramic, had steel in the past. I feel like the "non stick" is kind of bogus, its a very inconsistent top. Some stuff sticks like crazy, and cleanup feels about the same. I will say its nice to be able to leave it alone for weeks and not have to worry about it rusting
every thing i cook now sticks like crazy
Yep have a ceramic also. Even did a season on mine from start and always cleaned after cooking but agree still has parts stuck and not stuck even when seasoned or adding oil butter etc. for me when it gets bad I just use baking soda and water when the griddle is warm and scrub it off. Light season again but yep all same for sure.
Did you guys ever find a solution to this problem?
Have you tried the Halo Elite 4B? I am very pleased with mine. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks
So is it possible to install the steel griddle in the ultimate frame? Does it fit? I’m writing from Europe and pitboss isn’t much famous here so it’s hard to get support. That’s why looking here for some tipps when my ceramic will start to wear off. Great videos as always!
Nice
I own a 36 foot inch Blackstone and I’ll be honest after this grilling season is done I’m considering selling my Blackstone and getting a 3 burner Pitt Boss. I’ll be honest the cleanup on PB looks easier and less oil where BS I’m constantly putting oil plus the grease catcher is in the back where PB is in the front much easier. I’ll have to start saving some money to get the PB.
A more in depth video to compare ceramic & cold rolled steel would certainly be nice to see. I would also love to see an affiliate link to support you guys & or a discount code/promo code that you could offer to your viewers to purchase anything Pit Boss. I would also find it quite interesting of one of you were to wear a non-Pit Boss branded shirt & the other a Pit Boss shirt, something like, the tried & true vs the competitor, & maybe make a series out of it & have a little fun with it.
Steel Griddle all the way outside , Blackstone 36, though I do enjoy my Eseries Blackstone indoor also. Cheers fellas and Griddle On
Thank you as always bro, we have appreciated you sticking with us through and through! We know it’s been a journey and we totally love and respect your preference!! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥
Nice video, very informative! Just wondering since you're partnered with Pit Boss are you able to review other manufacturers? I would love to see the PB deluxe steel compared to something like the Weber griddle.
Thank you so much for watching and great question! We will have ti reach out to our peeps to find out! We’re always up for a good comparison, to show the pros and cons and all the good stuff!!🔥🔥
After time of cooking with steel and seasoning it over and over, does it give the burgers and steaks a better flavor over the ceramic? I was looking at the pep boys in Louisiana flat griddles Louisiana is coming out with a pretty nice one
When using ceramic coating griddles for Habichi, can you use cutting utensils to cut the meat while it’s coming on the griddle? Or, should you pre-cut the meat prior to cooking it on the griddle?
Thank you in advance.
I’ve noticed you have a lot of hecklers out there since you switched to the Pit Boss. Pit Boss makes good products and I don’t get why people feel some kind of way but you just can’t make everyone happy. I really enjoy my Pit Boss smoker and my Blackstone griddle. I purchased a E series for my camper and maybe it’s me but the steel griddle at my house does the food better. I think the steel just has a different taste with the same foods that make it better. Keep up the good work and griddle on.
Great job guys!..... I have a "Member's Mark 4-Burner Outdoor Gas Griddle" that I really love but is there a company who offers a ceramic or a stainless steel top that I can remove the one that came with the griddle and replace it with a ceramic or stainless steel one? THANKS!!
Hey can I use any Propane gas tank? Do I need those heavy propane tanks or can I use the green ones from Wal mart for camping?
Thanks for the vid awesome but I NEED HELP choosing - Single guy , budget not a huge concern , hate doing maintenance those (just being honest) out of all the ones out there now which one should I buy and why - thank you so much in advance or helping me.
How would you recommend cleaning a cermaic flattop griddle used in a restaurant setting. Especially since we're always on it
Where r u getting that huge scraper for the ceramic. Thx
it's amazing how they make twins.
Do I need to use any oil when cooking steak or burgers on either ceramic or steel? If so can I just use beef tallow instead of some sort of oil?
Which one is best for someone who eats ribeye steaks and 70/30 beef patties everyday?
The correct answer is definitely yes. It's like any grilling/griddling/smoking appliance. There are a ton of options, all are good, all are better AND worse than others in different ways. So, get one of everything ... as long as you have room for them. :D
I have now bought pit boss ceramic and love it. We cook burgers on the low setting and it’s flaming hot ( maybe ok for quick smash burgers but for the beefy thick ones not ideal. I’d love any suggestions. Feels like something is wrong but maybe that’s how they all are. Love mine regardless. Highly recommend the ceramic. I’ve had both. Thx
I just ordered mine ❤
@@rolandoserrano4132 I’m living mine. It’s still too hot but oh well. Better than too cold. Ceramic cooks the same but easier to clean and maintain. Highly recommend
90% of my cooking is steak on cast iron gas stovetop and finish in the oven. I also cook eggs and bacon. I’m boring as far as food choices. I don’t mind the maintenance of cast iron pan cooking. Is a griddle what I should be looking for? I only cook for 2-4 people, usually 2
My ceramic top has already started to rust. I only purchased it late last year. Not really impressed with top failing so quickly!
Can I add a caldero here too right ?
Metal utensils is pretty much what sells me on steel
I wish weber or traeger would offer a ceramic non-stick. pit boss it a good brand but i don't like their bright blue brand color and i'm already invested in the other brands. i definitely need an easier maintanance product because life is so full of maintanance and i need convenience with good performance.
Can I pay and swap metal to ceramic? Does the factory in Logan have a store or do I do it online etc. Thx
Good video guys I am trying to find a good tool to use with the ceramic griddle to make cheese steak and omelettes like the nice steel one any suggestions will the soft touch work?
Get the steel one... I have the ceramic and haven't ever had a steel, however, The ceramic is more sensitive to high temps, temp changes and sticking in my eyes. If you get steel, you can really season it up to be non stick and if you screw up, you can use steel tools to scrape off your mess. Whereas on ceramic, you can really only use plastic or silicone to scrape and it doesn't work as well.
I think you should try the Logo griddle
Having an issue, looking for any input. Just bought my first griddle (ceramic, pitboss sierra) and the heat drop is quite significant. I have to turn the dials all the way to high to get it up to 425. I put on the meat (in this case, cut up steak for stir fry) and it drops to under 200 within 15-20 seconds. I'm in FL, it's 85 degrees, no breeze. The meat is fully thawed and out of fridge for about 30 mins before it hits the griddle. During the cook, it barely gets back above 200, which is barely cooking, let alone searing. Heat regain is also slow. After removing the meat, it takes about 5 minutes to get back up to 400 (dials still on high). Is this normal or am i missing something? Thanks for any help or insight you can give!
I love my blackstone, but the easy clean up with the pit boss is calling my name. lol
For sure we totally get it! I remember when I first saw the Ultimate griddle, I actually had a tough time sleeping, I had to have one!😂😂🔥🔥
Do you really need to add oil to the ceramic after cleaning? The whole reason I want the ceramic is because I live in Florida and I don't want to keep oil on it because it creates mold. I have a steel griddle and I always need to keep oil on it after I'm done because it will rust but that oil creates mold if I don't cook on it once a week or more.
"...slingin' oil like we were a gas station..." 😂 😂
Haha!!😂💙 #FACTS
Which has a longer life? My parents cooked on the same carbon steel
Wok everyday for 50 years without a problem. Can ceramic last that long without a problem?
what about cast iron? is that too old school? Are griddles no longer using it?
I have been using steel for 4 years so I naturally lean towards steel. However, the key is to griddle. Learn from videos like these. I think it is time for bacon, pancakes, fried eggs, omelet and hash browns. Where can you cook all of that at basically the same time - on a griddle. Either top will work. Gotta go.
BOOM! Thank you so luv for watching and for the insight fam! We love it, and you get to the point - it can all be done on the griddle, but everyone will have their preference. Much love, GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥
Brethren! Which type does the #Waltwins food truck have? 😊 Maybe both?! They both cook yummy foods and are just fun! However I think for me, clean up is going to sway me to the ceramic. Griddle on!
Any opinions on stainless steel vs carbon steel ?
Thank you so much for watching! We have so little experience with stainless, it’s hard to give an opinion. They are both incredible, the stainless is going to be more expensive. We for sure want to try more, if we do, we will keep you posted!
For this video, it looks like "steel" means carbon steel. What are your thoughts on stainless steel?
Good video boys ,, but being 69 years old and VERY old fashioned give me steal any time.ceramic is cool but remember when they came out with Teflon ? They thought that was space age Stuff.. Now look .. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA......
Thank you brother, we always love hearing from you and what you have to say - much love brother!!
What kind of material is a Pit Boss griddle made of ? Also do they sell you a ceramic instead?
Pit Boss is ceramic.
I can’t wait for Pit Boss to offer steel for the 5 Burner Ultimate
Thank you so much for watching brother, we have no idea what the plans are, but we hope to see some alternatives for everyone!🤙🤙
How come I cant find the ceramic replacement top on the blackstone site
Thank you so much four watching! This is actually a Pit Boss Brand product, not Blackstone.
Do these have a natural gas option? or what options do I have for a good natural gas griddle
Thank you so much for watching! As far as we are aware, they do not have a natural gas hookup option.🤙🤙
Can’t do rotisserie which is why I also keep a grill.
True. Cheers!🤙🤙
Pit boss just replaced my ceramic top for free. I’m switching to use butter instead of oil. I feel the oil was wearing my ceramic coating. What’s your thoughts.
Great call - we’ve only been using oil on the ceramic if a dish calls for oil, or we make sure we get it cleaned off immediately after - but yes, butter is the way to go!🤙🤙
I will happily trade any person for their non stick. Mine is always black and rusted. I scrub forever. I do the after every meal to back steam and scrub and oil etc. Pain and ineffective. If pit boss or blackstone sells a model where I can replace the ceramic top after a few years I’d happily do so if the non stick comes off eventually
Hey fam! Remind us, which griddle do you have?
You must not be seasoning it correctly.
@@waltwins mine is two years ago, four burner knobs. Built in lid that manually lifts up. Bought at Wal mart. It was there largest one there at the time but I see bigger ones now. Metal top, not ceramic
@@robgover8341 u r probably correct. I’ve stripped it down and tried to redo twice. Same result. I’m sure it’s a me problem. We still cook with it, it’s just not fun as yes, I’m doing something wrong. Perhaps ceramic is better for me. They’ve gone way up in price so I feel stuck. Oh well I guess
@@donotrobme9295 A flat top doesn’t take to permanent seasoning as well as a cast iron or carbon steel pan does so you have to really stay on top of the process. Even a perfectly seasoned flat top will rust if you don’t use and oil it pretty often. Have you ever seen one of those silicone mats that are the designed to be the exact same size as griddle surfaces ? I have heard that if you properly oil your flat top and use one of those mats along with a regular cover it really helps prevent rust.
I don't understand why Blackstone hasn't Come out with The Cast Iron Flat Top Yet. I love Cast Iron. Food Taste Better. Blackstone and Other Grill companies Need to start making Cast Iron Griddle Flat Tops instead of the Steel Flat Top. P.S Camp Chef has Cast Iron Griddle Tops.
Thank you so much for watching! I think it has to do with overall durability for outdoor use. That said, I’m not entirely sure, but who knows what the do in the future, maybe they actually will make a cast iron top! Cheers!🤙🤙
But as you said 70 percent will grab ceramic vs cast iron, the ceramic will fail fist over any cast iron.
If i remeber one of you your ceramic surface already failed and had it replaced under warranty. My steel top has lasted and continues for over 5 harsh cold winters and hot dry summers.
I think there are many who will continue to love their steel top units year in and year our, while the cast majority will see rust after the first season and think they need a new unit. That said, more and more are getting educated on the card and maintenance of the steel top. Cheers!🤙🤙
Why you guys go away from blackstone?
All I could do was a dot. My son was getting baptized. Yet... I was still first. Cheers gents
Brother!! Congratulations to your son. This makes us happy, and hope y’all are happy, what a moment to celebrate! Tell him congratulations from the WALTWINS!!🤙🤙🙏🙏
I still don't understand why people use metal utensils on cast griddletops
i just bought 5 burner from pit boss.I live in upstate new york can i leave pit boss griddle outside all year round.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😚🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Thank you so much for watching! If you will use it through the winter, for sure, you’ll just want to make sure the surface has oil on it and it is covered when not in use. Did you get the 5 burner ceramic or steel top unit? (Ultimate or Deluxe griddle)
@@waltwins it's said porcelain steel buy from best buy on 1/3/24.
@@siarung1972gotcha, yes, this is the Ultimate unit, should be fine! Keep it covered when not in use for sure!
@waltwins thanks you very much for giving me an advice. I love watching every videos you post on CZcams.
Ceramic is Absolutely Durable That's Why Your Major Appliance Manufacture's Have Gone Away From it !!!
Thank you for watching and for the input - are you saying they have gone away from it because it isn’t durable, or because it’s durable they’ve gone away from it (forcing consumers to buy more often?😂)
steel...steel...steel...
7:04 you said upgrade to a ceramic….
Bro, I quit having any type of griddle. The wife uses it and does not clean it.
Who sells ceramic griddles
Neither steel not ceramic. Cast Iron is the goat
Thank you fam! Is there a true cast iron griddle on the market now?
@@waltwins Yes, look up greystone. Mine came with our travel trailer outdoor kitchen.
@@FubarKen gotcha - very similar to the rolled steel of the other griddles, for sure cast iron is awesome!🤙🤙
Teflon no thanks I'm to heavy handed . I don't own any Teflon non stick
Thanks for watching - no one does Teflon anymore - that’s more than a dozen years ago. Ceramic is simply hardened cooked clay. No chemicals needed. Cheers.
@waltwins so all the pans that say non stick in the stores is ceramic not Teflon is what you're saying? I will have look & read the labels more closely, I thought most non stick was Teflon unless it actually says ceramic on it. Thanks for the info.
Hey guys, I'm feeling like you're being a bit disingenuous. You say the ceramic is durable. How long had you had it before you had issues and had ro replace it or the top (can't remember which). Yes the steel requires some maintenance, but i don't worry about replacing the top even after 2 1/2 years. The outside could use some work. I bought a cheap stainless unit. The quality of the stainless shows. Its pitted and not so pretty any longer, but it cooks everything beautifully.
This is a bit discouraging - to say we’re being disingenuous? We’ve tried to share our experiences, good and bad. We’ve made videos sharing these. We can only speak to what we’ve seen, and have admitted that the the ceramic will only last so long. It is durable from our experience, though we never said it would out last a steel unit. Not sure what your intent is here, as your points about the steel are what we mention in the video. We feel there is an audience for both cooktops, which is the point of the video, as evidenced by the Pit Boss groups. We have a Sierra unit with nearly 200 cooks, a year and a half old, that still looks like it just came off the showroom floor. This is our experience. The unit we had issues with was the first unit in the country, we expected to have issues and know, unfortunately, that others will also have issues. We also appreciate that Pit Boss has a 2 year warranty. What did we miss, brother?
@@waltwins My only point was to point out that you hadn't mentioned that it had to be replaced. When you're spending north of 500 dollars for a griddle, you don't want to have to replace it every 2 to 3 years.
@@almostgem it was replaced under warranty - we addressed it in the video we replaced it in. We really do try to share all of the experience, and we’re not trying to hide anything. Pit Boss is aware that we will be open with our audience about our experience. Ultimately, only time will tell how durable the ceramic will be, as they are still new. If we see continued issues or problems, we will make them known as soon as we get the chance.
@@waltwins You had it replaced under warranty because you have a youtube channel. When I called Pit Boss about my ceramic top that did the same thing yours did they told me I was out of luck and needed to buy a new top. Flat Top King also had the same issue with his, of course his was also replaced because he too has youtube channel. Funny how that works. But you guys influenced my purchase when you have got to know that these things are not holding up under any actual use.
@@jimbright1826 we have close contact with Neal the Flat Top King. His experience was completely separate from ours as he admittedly used metal utensils. We recognize that companies rely on CZcams and influencers to try products and give our feedback. Just like the Flat Top King, we do our best to give feedback based on our experience, realizing others won’t have the same experience. I wish your experience was the same as ours - but you can reach out via Facebook messenger or Instagram so we can verify your experience and do our best to share that with Pit Boss. That said, we are influencers that can only share our own experience.
No flame on a steak? Absolute Blasphemy!!!
Haha! Thanks for watching - no chef or high-end steakhouse uses open flame for steak. Cheers!🤙🤙
Nice commercial.
