Top 10 Best Oil for Blackstone Griddle In 2023

A Blackstone griddle is just one of the best ways that you cook your food in your backyard! The stainless steel surface offers great and even cooking for your food. It is also much easier for newer people to get into a backyard BBQ because it is much easier to use than a regular grill. But one that most people find annoying is the seasoning of the griddle. That is why I have decided to try out a variety of different oils on my griddle to cook and see which are the best oil for Blackstone griddle. Out of all of them, here are 10 of the best oil that you will find on the market!

2. Turn the griddle on the highest temperature and leave it on for 15 minutes
3. Then, spread about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the oil over the surface of the griddle and spread it around with a paper towel. I would suggest using tongs to move the paper towel around.
4. Make sure to wipe the ends and corners of the griddle. Crouch down to make sure that you have an even layer of oil over the surface.
5. Leave the oil to burn for about 30 minutes or until you see smoke coming out of it.
6. Let the oil burn until there is no smoke then turn off the valve and leave it cool for about 10 to 15 minutes.

There is something about the BetterBody Foods Refined Avocado Oil that other avocado oils I have tried just do not have. It has a high flashpoint and smoke point, making it the best to use for a Blackstone griddle so you get none of the smokiness in your food. Then there is the fact that avocado oil is one of the best oil to use for cooking since it has relatively no flavor. This really helps to make the food flavors shine on its own and this particular avocado oil does just that! There is little to no downside when I used it which makes this product so good for both seasoning your Blackstone griddle and cleaning it for the next time that you will use it! That is why I put this as the best overall product on the list because it does more than just cook!

Expert Verdict

What I like about the Pompeian, Non-GMO, Extra-Virgin Olive Oil is the BPA-free bottle that it comes in. It helps in storage without compromising the taste of the olive oil. The olive oil is also great since it is natural and cold pressed which gives great seasoning for the Blackwork griddle. But what I didn’t like about the bottle itself is that it is hard to squeeze the right about for your griddle. So you have to be really careful about using it so you get just the right amount of oil. But otherwise, the seasoning tastes great and is not too overpowering when you are cooking on the griddle.

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
BPA-free bottle	Bottle is hard to use
Cold-pressed EVOO
Great seasoning with mild flavors

Expert Verdict

High-heat cooking and neutral flavor are what you get with the grapeseed oil from the La Tourangelle, Expeller-Pressed Grapeseed Oil! It is one of the better grapeseed oil I have used on my griddle and while I don’t personally like it over avocado oil, it does the job great. It keeps the griddle seasoned nicely, especially for steaks, and does not add flavor to it so you get perfectly flavored from it. However, the container is not good at all. It drips everywhere and can become messy very quickly. Otherwise, the oil itself is great for your Blackstone griddle!

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
High heat with no added flavors	Container drips too much oil after use
Good seasoning
Great for cleaning as well

It gets rid of the toughest of stains and grease from the griddle without needing to use too much either! It adds a mild citrus taste to the griddle which you may or may not prefer but I quite liked the flavors with the coconut infusion. However, the only sad part is that the nozzle starts becoming a bit wonky once you have used it enough. It does not spray in the mist I would prefer and I actually ended up replacing it with another oil spray top to keep using the product.

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Best for cleaning	Spray does not last for too long
Citrus flavor
Great smell and eliminates odor

2. Turn the griddle on the highest temperature and leave it on for 15 minutes

Expert Verdict

Since you will only need to season your griddle once per use, you might be left with an oil that has no other use if you buy a cleaning oil. However, the Mina Extra Virgin Olive Oil is exactly the oil that you need so that you can use it for more than just the Blackstone griddle! It is very versatile for all your cooking needs and I think that makes it the perfect addition to your pantry. The olive oil is not harsh and leaves only a subtle taste on your food.  The only problem is that the oil is a bit on the thicker side which you should be careful of when you are seasoning your griddle. You will need an even layer of oil so make sure that you do not do too much since a little goes a long way for this oil.

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Versatile oil for multipurpose cooking	Thick oil; have to be careful with griddle seasoning
Moroccan olive oil
Subtle taste

Expert Verdict

I’ll start off with what I don’t like about the Cast Iron Sam’s 100% Natural Cast Iron Seasoning Oil. It has a very low smoke point so you need to be very careful when cooking with it since it will start to smoke very easily, even after cleaning and drying your griddle! However, what it does good is keep the stainless Blackstone griddle in perfect condition for cooking and helps keep it maintained so that your griddle can last a long time. It is made with plant-based products so you know that it is perfectly vegan! It also does an incredible job of cleaning not just the griddle surface but every part of the griddle. The cleaning was also very easy so I had no trouble with that.

Great for cleaning your griddle	Very smoky; need to be careful during the seasoning
Protects from cooking damage
Vegan; 100% plant-based product

The flaxseed oil in the Greater Goods Organic Flaxseed Oil helped my Blackstone griddle achieve one of the best seasonings I have ever had on it! It really bought out the flavors from the steak I was making on a medium sear which was fantastic. The fatty contents are great for both your heart and gut health and helps to replace all the unnecessary fat from other types of oil. However, you will want to make sure you properly burn it off your griddle because it can have an awful aftertaste to it so watch out for that.

Pros and Cons

5 Key Points to Choose Oil for Blackstone Griddle

When it comes to choosing the oil for your Blackstone griddle, you will have to consider some key points for the oil. Here are what you need to know before you go on to choosing your oil:

• High smoke point: the reason you need a high smoke point is that you are using a griddle for its even cooking. With the addition of smoke, it will add an unwanted charred flavor to your food. A high smoke point of about 400^oF to 500^oF is ideal since you can cook at high temperatures with as little smoke as possible. For this, the best oil to use is avocado and canola oil.
• Flavors: don’t underestimate how much of the oil that you are using will change the flavor of the food you are cooking on the griddle. Avocado and flaxseed oil have neutral flavors which makes them great for griddle since they won’t take away the flavor from your food. But if you want to add some flavors, you can go for coconut and olive oil.
• Fat contents: the next thing to consider is the fat contents of the oil, specifically the monounsaturated that you will find readily in olive and canola oil. They are also rich in Omega fatty acids which are good for your heart.
• Cleaning properties: if you use it often enough, then you know your griddle will have grease stains and odor coming from it if you don’t clean it. That is why it is important to use oil that can both season and clean the griddle surface so it is ready for the next time that you cook on it. For this, the best ones are oils like avocado.
• Protecting the griddle: finally, with the cleaning, you also want to ensure longevity of the griddle. This means protecting your griddle from potential rust. Grapeseed oil is very good for this and can help clean and deodorize your griddle so that the griddle stays good for longer and gives you no unwanted flavors.

Benefits Using Different Oils On Blackstone Griddle

You might think that cooking on your griddle is bad for your health but it is actually the opposite that is true! There are many health benefits you can reap from your Blackstone griddle like a healthy heart, enhanced food flavors, good fat for your body, and helps relieve menopausal symptoms as well. Different oils provide different benefits so let’s look at them individually:

• Grapeseed oil: rich in Omega fatty acids
• Avocado oil: rich in nutrients and unsaturated fat
• Canola oil: helps to reduce cholesterol
• Olive oil: rich in antioxidants and polyphenols
• Sesame oil: good balance of fat and antioxidants
• Coconut oil: good for gut health, digestion, and oral health
• Flaxseed oil: helps reduce pressure
• Corn oil: rich in vitamin E

FAQs

1. Should you oil a Blackstone griddle?

Yes, you should! You need to season it every time you start cooking but it is a good idea to clean it and then apply a coat of the oil so you get the full effect of the seasoning that you have on your Blackstone griddle.

2. Do you use butter or oil on Blackstone griddle?

While you could use butter on your griddle, I would advise only use vegetable oil and some seed oils. Butter can burn on the griddle which can ruin the surface and create a burned flavor for your food which is something you definitely want to avoid.

3. What oil is best for steaks on griddle?

It really depends on what kind of flavor you are looking for but you should go for oil that has a high smoke point. Oils like grapeseed, canola, and peanut oil can add to the flavor of the steak while avocado oil gives no flavor but has a high smoke point which is ideal for high-heat sears for your steak.

4. Can I use olive oil on Blackstone griddle?

Not only can you use olive oil on your Blackstone griddle, it is actually really good for your health and the flavor of food as well! Keep in mind that you need to season the griddle correctly to get the best effects of olive oil on your griddle.

5. What oil do you use on Blackstone griddle?

You can use a whole host of oil on your Blackstone griddle but the best are canola and avocado since they have such high smoke points which makes it easy to cook with.

Final Thoughts

Well, there you have it, the best oils that you can use for your Blackstone griddle! I had fun dusting off my old griddle and using all the different oils and start cooking again. Even though all of them were good in their own regards, I personally felt that none quite matched the BetterBody Foods Refined Avocado Oil. It was good for cooking, cleaning, and protecting the griddle and you get all of that in just one oil! I hope that one of these products is the one that you were looking for to bust out your griddle and use again for a backyard get-together at your place.
