Blackstone Products will launch National Griddle Week for the first time in the UK to coincide with the annual awareness week in America that has been celebrated for the last four years. It will be running for a week including two glorious weekends between April 5th and April 13th. National Griddle Week is Blackstone’s annual kick-off to the outdoor cooking season celebrating great food, good memories, and spending time with family and friends.
Griddles are the latest part of the outdoor cooking revolution in the UK where flat plate griddles are starting to take over from traditional grill style BBQ’s. Griddles, made of steel, have a non-stick surface once seasoned and are used in every restaurant and food cooking establishment in the UK. They are used for their versatility of cooking, speed and simplicity.
This National Griddle Week, Blackstone will sponsor exclusive offers with BBQ retailers around the UK and are focusing on their World’s first 36-inch griddle with air fryers. This game-changing product offers unparalleled convenience, allowing outdoor chefs to cook an entire meal without ever stepping back indoors. Gone are the days of running between your kitchen and garden to fetch chips, potatoes, mozzarella sticks, or other oven-cooked sides. The new Blackstone griddle provides everything you need in one place, combining the power of a 36” griddle with integrated airfryers and a warming drawer, perfect for cooking a variety of meals simultaneously, and ensuring that everything is ready to serve at the perfect temperature. The 36" Griddle Airfryer Combo is designed to transform the outdoor cooking landscape.
Steven May, Blackstone’s UK Country Manager said “Launching National Griddle week is the start of the outdoor cooking revolution in the UK. With a griddle you can cook so much more outside as there are no gaps for the food to fall between. That means as well as the BBQ staples like burgers and sausages, you can now cook pancakes, smash burgers and stir fry’s, in fact anything you can cook in a pan, you can now cook outside on a griddle. There are already over 50,000 griddle owners who have dramatically increased the amount they cook outside. A griddle can be up to temperature within a handful of minutes, and you can cook everything from start to finish inside 25 minutes. The very best part though is that with a simple squirt of water you can scrape away and steam clean you griddle in seconds. This means for the first time the chef can sit down with their family and friends to enjoy the food they cook together.”
May added “National Griddle Week is our way of celebrating the rapidly growing Griddle Nation and the entire outdoor cooking community. We hope everyone will join us as we celebrate the amazingly varied possibilities of outdoor cooking. Griddle enthusiasts are encouraged to follow Blackstone's social media channels for opportunities to win exclusive giveaway bundles as we celebrate National Griddle Week for the first time in the UK."
Since 2008, Blackstone has transformed outdoor cooking into more than just searing steaks and flipping burgers. Outdoor cooking is about being able to cook anything and everything, at any time of day, all year round. Join us April 5th-13th and celebrate the possibilities.
