So you got a brand new Blackstone griddle<\/strong><\/a> and you’re wondering what accessories to get for it? Blackstone squeeze bottles are a griddle essential you won’t want to miss!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever wondered what you are supposed to put in these bottles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil and water are the two most useful liquids to put in Blackstone bottles. Oil is important to splash on your griddle before and during cooking. Water can be used during cooking for steaming or cooling down the griddle quickly and also after cooking to help clean the griddle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for a more creative use of your squeeze bottles, then the possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s explore some options you may want to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n

Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n

Cooking oil<\/a><\/strong> is the most important ingredient to fill one of the bottles with. It helps keep food (especially meat) from sticking and depending on the type of oil also adds flavor to what you\u2019re cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil is also important for seasoning your griddle<\/a><\/strong>. Seasoning your griddle helps create a non-stick layer on the surface of the griddle that makes it easier to cook on and prevents rusting. It’s important to apply only a thin layer of oil at once and repeat the seasoning process several times before your first griddle cooking. Once seasoning is established, you don’t have to use a lot of oil for cooking. High smoke point oils are the best for seasoning<\/a><\/strong>. Avoid using low smoke point stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping the oil in a squeeze bottle is a convenient way to keep it on hand and to ensure you’re using the right amount. Manageable portions of oil are a nightmare when trying to pour directly from classic oil containers. Thanks to the thin nozzle, you can easily direct the oil exactly where you need it. No more oil spills!<\/p>\n\n\n

What kind of oil to use?<\/h3>\n\n\n

The never-ending debate over the best cooking oil is a tricky one! It largely depends on your flavor preferences, and what kind of heat you\u2019re typically cooking at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canola oil is one of the most popular oils and is perhaps perfect for cooking as it has a neutral flavor and works well for both cooking and seasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to add a bit of flavor? Then perhaps extra virgin olive oil<\/a><\/strong> or avocado oil is the right choice for you. Avocado oil<\/a><\/strong> has the highest smoke point of all cooking oils, making it perfect for grilling and searing. Make sure you buy a quality one as there are a lot of fake ones on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n

Water<\/h2>\n\n\n

Water is an essential helper for your griddle adventures and keeping it in a squeeze bottle is the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use it during cooking by spraying water onto the hot griddle to create steam, allowing you to quickly prepare steamed veggies or other delicious foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After cooking, you can use the water to clean off the griddle. By spraying the griddle and then using your griddle scraper, you can quickly remove any grease or residue left from cooking. Scrape it away toward the drain hole and your griddle will be good as new in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sauces and Other Liquid Condiments<\/h2>\n\n\n

When it comes to condiments, squeeze bottles are the perfect way to store and apply them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can put any kind of liquid condiments like barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, or even mayonnaise in the bottles. This way you can easily top your food with the desired amount of flavor quickly – no more mess!<\/p>\n\n\n

Sauces<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"Ketchup\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Squeeze bottles are great for storing and dispensing sauces. This is especially great for griddle-cooked foods since you don’t want to be stuck with a giant container of ketchup or mustard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the bottles to pre-fill them with your favorite marinades, BBQ sauces, or even hot sauces so that they’re ready whenever you need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you don’t have to use store-bought condiments. You can also make your own homemade sauces and store them in squeeze bottles. Once you are done griddling, throw them in the fridge and they’ll be ready to go the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making homemade sauces is great because you know exactly what goes into them, they taste better, and they don’t contain any unnecessary preservatives or additives that you would find in their store-bought counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, these bottles are a great way to get creative when plating your meals! Squirt ketchup in an artistic pattern or make decorative lines with different sauces. Get as creative as you want!<\/p>\n\n\n

Other Liquids<\/h3>\n\n\n

Other liquid condiments other than sauces and oil can also be stored in squeeze bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
