Griddle Bacon
Bacon is one of the easiest foods to cook on the griddle, and it can actually help your griddle seasoning also! Learn how to cook bacon on the Blackstone or other flat top grill... no other ingredients needed!
Servings: 4 people
Equipment
- griddle spatula or tongs
Ingredients
- 1 lb bacon
Instructions
- Heat the griddle on medium low to medium until it reaches about 375-425 degrees F. *The appropriate knob setting (low, medium low, medium, etc) will vary based on what griddle you have.
- Lay the bacon strips down on the griddle so that they don't touch. Be sure to leave enough space in between each piece so that you can slide your spatula underneath to flip.
- Cook bacon on the first side for about 4-5 minutes, or until about halfway cooked through.
- Flip bacon to the second side and continue to cook until done to your liking, or at least until the fatty white parts become translucent and the bacon strips have no pink color. *If needed, move the bacon strips to different areas on the griddle so they cook evenly. For instance, depending on what griddle you have, you may need to move the pieces that were on the outer edges to the hotter center zones when you flip.
- Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off the excess grease. Serve warm.
Notes
- If you notice your bacon strips are curling up, you can apply pressure to those areas with the long flat side of your griddle spatula. Just press down for a few seconds and the bacon should flatten back out. You can also use a weighted press if needed.
