If I learned nothing else from the pandemic it was how not to burn boiling water! My friends, I must brag and tell you I’ve become quite the little chef during lock down. I was very adult like several weeks ago when I purchased a Star Wars Instant Pot. What" It has little Baby Yodas all over it how could I resist" It actually goes with nothing in my kitchen though so it’s been confined to the butler’s pantry and comes out when I cook. I’m not convinced I’m an Instant Pot genie as of yet but I’m working on my skills. So far, I’ve made pasta in it and that turned out pretty good. My Italian mother stroked out when I told her this on Facetime but ya know, quick and easy is the order of the day sometimes. But really, I took a few master classes during lock down and my cooking skills have improved. I started following this lady on Tiktok who has a Blackstone BBQ. I know, I know, freaking Tiktok made me buy it….but in all seriousness, she makes all these cool dinners on that BBQ. I made me really want one of those flat top grills but unfortunately at both our houses the BBQs are actually built into cabinets on the patio. It’s not really possible to just switch it out with a freestanding grill.
UNTIL NOW……………
Cue the dramatic music.
So, this lady on Tiktok has the full-size Blackstone which is basically just a big giant griddle. It’s really not a traditional BBQ grill...
