FAQs
I like to use the medium-low to medium heat setting for cooking bacon on the Blackstone. Flat top temperature will be between 325 – 350 degrees F. If you cook at a higher temperature like 400 degrees or 450 degrees you can expect a much faster cooking time.
Start by preheating the griddle to a medium-low to medium setting. Place your bacon strips directly on the griddle and cook for five minutes. Flip the bacon and cook for another five minutes or until done to your liking.
Depending on the level of doneness of your bacon, you will spend just 10 minutes to fully cook the bacon. (PRO TIP – Use the excess bacon grease to season the Blackstone griddle cooking surface)
After you place the bacon strips onto the griddle, place the press directly on top of the bacon. Using the bacon press will keep the bacon strips flat on the griddle. This allows for more even cooking and it will keep the bacon from shrinking up during the cooking process.
