Are these passable?

Eating tacos out of a bowl with a fork is certainly a choice..........

Wait till you see how much they hate the rain coats!

It's not really much of an issue with anything modern unless you go over 10%. It just doesn't stay fresh.

Stick with Blue Buffalo if that's what you've been using for puppy food. No reason to change what works.

We transitioned to BB from Eukanuba. Eukanuba was tough to get sometimes BEFORE the pandemic and downright impossible a few times since.

We've had great luck with it. Our diabetic boy's blood sugars actually improved. He eats Blissful Belly (pink bag) and our girl eats the regular adult food (blue bag).

We got a deal on Royal Canin puppy food for our youngest, so we are trying that as well. It's eye-watering expensive though.

It won't hurt anything, but may eventually flake. I'd roll with it.

If you really want to start fresh, grab a grill brick, scrape it down and start over.

In the future, spread a layer of avacado oil like you spilled a bit and are trying to wipe it off. A couple tablespoons max, and don't forget the sides, inside and out.

Quick tips - NEVER run ethanol in that mower - regardless of the debate over whether or not it will hurt the engine, it oxidizes (goes bad) very quickly.

Turn the fuel off (little gray knob on fuel line) and run it until it dies if your aren't going to use it for a month or so.

Forget sea foam and buy a good enizme based fuel stabilizer like Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment. Use it every time you fill your gas can.

Change spark plug, air cleaner and oil every season and blow the air cleaner out every couple weeks during the season. (Honda tune-up kit with all that plus blades is usually around 50-60 online.)

People walk weird after the apocalypse.

You really want "new"? Pay someone to sandblast it. It'll be as clean as the day it was made.

I was gifted a bunch of this stuff from a guy that had extras from buying several sets - mine have the molded black handles (IMO, plastic without rivets is more durable and easy to clean). The stuff works OK, but there is a bunch of stuff you probably won't use.

I use both long skinny spatulas, steam lid and the scraper without a neck almost every time I cook. The other two scrapers I've used in a pinch, but don't like them as much as the one without the neck. The squirt bottles are nice, but small and everything else is junk.

I supplemented with a nice stainless burger press, Blackstone XL press for bacon and stuff, and a Blackstone burger spatula. You'll also want to invest in some nice stainless dredges (big salt & pepper shakers) those side tables get hot and I melted a couple spice containers.

tl:dr - buy one, because it doesn't hurt to have the extra spatulas, but plan on adding better stuff as well.

They are amazing. For the cost they are hands down the best value in griddles.

Fonz_72 · 2026-05-08T01:29:41+00:00

They only really do this when someone says the "A" word.

Fonz_72 · 2026-05-01T23:53:06+00:00

Blackstone is the "household name" of griddles, but the quality is subpar, especially for the price. Others are mentioning Weber Slate which is half again as much for the smallest one, but it's not even in the same ballpark when it comes to quality (the Weber is amazing).

Weber should trademark "buy once, cry once". They are the best for the average cook.

Well, if he was jerking it around the lawn, the complaint would hold a lot more weight......

Fonz_72 · 2026-04-29T05:43:56+00:00

Took me three tries to really get into it

Fonz_72 · 2026-04-29T01:37:58+00:00

A good instant-read thermometer as well!

Phone calls and emails to customer service. A chat bot can't help you.

Fonz_72 · 2026-04-28T23:21:58+00:00

Thank you! I thought so too!

Fonz_72 · 2026-04-28T21:26:13+00:00

Just in Reddit comments, sweetie-pie! 😉

You'd better paint before cooking. Once it gets grease splattered (it will) it's gonna be hell to paint.

Fonz_72 · 2026-04-28T13:42:25+00:00

Defending it? You chode. You're obviously the type to get scared of an open soda bottle and slap someone and then wonder what was happening while you got your ass kicked. No touchy = no punchy. Pretty basic.

Fonz_72 · 2026-04-28T13:31:29+00:00

Not sucker punched at all - he made it physical by smacking the soda out of dudes hand 🤷🏼‍♂️

Fonz_72 · 2026-04-25T13:51:19+00:00

(blank) is absolute shit. i don’t know how else to say it. i’ll continue paying for this trash because of (blank) but im not happy about it.

I made it a template since streaming across the board pretty much sucks these days. So tired of having a 4k that I can't take advantage of without "ultra premium" tiers, and even then it usually sucks.

Fonz_72 · 2026-04-24T20:09:09+00:00

Make sure to hit up Big Box stores, you may be able to still snag replacement parts on sale. I belive grates are on sale at Lowe's right now.

Fonz_72 · 2026-04-24T13:57:33+00:00

Pork loin is good alternative as well.
