reversible griddle pan wait a second now hold on let’s take it out let’s see what’s going on here it’s a cast iron grill/griddle pan ridged on this side for amazing lines stcg up here now you ready for this part my favorite part you flip it over and look it’s flat on this side catch you on the flip FP side get it the flip side there’s my little face again eggs pancakes sandwiches bacon fried rice on that side steaks if you want it steaks if you want this side chicken with those beautiful lines fish with those beautiful lines grilled cheese with those beautiful lines anything oh it’s heavy it’s weighty it is gorgeous it is fantastic we’re super excited about it look at this it’s like we had had a baby Max we had a baby a big ass super heavy cast iron grill grill pan baby I’m so excited we’re so excited you’re a good little guy okay but here’s the thing the pan has been pre-seasoned but it will still benefit from more seasoning then the one we’re going to use today is this guy and I think you can see the difference in the color it loses its shine it gets much darker and it’s much smoother this is a little bit rough now it’s starting to get much smoother this is the result of putting oil on it rubbing the oil till it’s completely rubbed in you don’t want any pooling both sides then in the oven for about an hour bring it out let it cool repeat repeat repeat you can do it four five six times the more you use the pan the more nonstick it gets the better it gets it’s fantastic we’re super Jazz the Buton by the way you can go to shop stc.com right now and get yours everybody should have one let me tell you why you want this here’s why I think they make sense let’s say you love the idea of cooking on something flat but you don’t have the room and you don’t want to spend the money look the Evo is not inexpensive there’s all kinds of flat griddles that you can get they take up a lot of space they’re much more expensive than these guys are this lets you get all that flat cooking in an area this big you can do it inside your house on the stove just put this across one or two burners the way you go or you see us use these things all the time two of these Side by side are perfect for one of these guys lay it across you don’t have a flat griddle that you want to use on your barbecue this sit it right on top of your grill like we’re going to do today and lets you do exactly what you want flat right there and if you don’t have a grill and you want those grill marks that’s where this side comes in wherever you are at the beach little camping stove this kid sitting on top you’ll be the King of the surf and it’s a perfect gift shop sdc.com but let’s get away from the pan right now talk about what we’re going to make so we’re wondering what what’s the best way to inaugurate our new reversible griddle of course a burger kind of thing would be good but burger by itself seems a bit simple we thought a patty melt would be good yes what’s a patty melt it’s meat it’s onions and cheese I like that’s a good start what if we did a a a brunch patty melt now you’re talking cuz now you’ve got the onions you got the meat but now you can add an egg for the brunch patty melt you could also add bacon we’re just trying to show you the true power all the handling capability of the Sam the cooking guy reversible Grill we’re going to do everything on this side until it comes time to Patty melze it then we’re going to flip it over like you’re supposed to and get those beautiful grill marks what’s better than that did I say beef yes of course beef for a a Patty MK but not just any beef we’re bringing out the big guns and the big guns A5 wagu look at the marbling on that this is ridiculous it’s melting under the temperature of my hands right now I better be very careful I’m going to start by prepping this into a quick little Patty and then everything just up or downhill from there there you go there’s our beautiful A5 now here’s the deal to grind this up to make a Patty I could use a grind but it’s too much working I’m going to use the processor you’ve seen us do this before so I’m going to take it out this has been in the freezer about 15 minutes to firm it up it’s not rock hard because that won’t chop but you see this that’s the grease coming off of this oh it’s going to be amazing now I don’t need quite this much fat so let’s cut this off and this these pieces if you think I’m throwing those away you’re insane those were going to keep and I will use those for another day maybe to grease up a pan maybe when I need a little extra fat and some patties I’m making but now we’ll cut these into little chunks just can you believe what we’re looking at here in terms of marbling it’s unbelievable and now I’ll just cut these into little chunks that was Max’s phone it wasn’t my phone it’s usually your phone usually all right these pieces now will come into our processor or processor if you’re American and now we’re going to pulse it’s all we’re going to do look how slick this is It’s amazing always amazed by the level of fat in proper way you and let’s just pulse just until it’s ground couple more that’s it look inside don’t have to I’ll show you see that see how gorgeous this is look at the amount of fat in there typically you’d be asking to have at least 20% fat 8020 is what you want when you go to the store just buying it off the shelf this is what 5050 it’s going to cook in no time all right let’s take it out and make one quick Patty get it back in the fridge let’s make a quick black pepper aoli then we cook we begin with a bowl that’s a good start some Japanese Mayo now black pepper aoli requires black pepper and a decent amount of it somebody tell me when when does that look good fine one more I like get peppery okay I remember you’re teaching me pepper and ketchup right how good is that so pepper ketchup simple concept you take some ketchup put some pepper on it yes but the way we do it is you take some ketchup and you put it in a bowl and you like this you cover the top of it so all you see is pepper which seems like Overkill but when you take a french fry and you dip it in it’s not like you’re getting an inch of pepper you’re getting just that top layer it’s the best thing ever Overkill not Overkill Overkill Overkill I’m Canadian and I have Co and a cold a covid cold all right keep going so when you have what you now believe is enough pepper just a little bit of salt with a little as Martha Stewart would say a little brightness from some lemon zest baby squeeze of olive oil and we mix and the fact that you can see as much pepper as you can tells me this is going to be the [ __ ] boys let’s bust out the pan and start cooking well first thing on the inaugural cook of the cooking guy 17in reversible griddle is bacon oh anticlimactic no Sizzle there we go okay now you’re talking son there we go beautiful all right that’s going to shrink a bit on this side little oil and some onion because after all we all talk we are talking patty melt and patty melt requires onions oh it’s hot over here lovely lovely lovely lovely now we’re just standing around we’re cooking bacon we’re cooking this we got eggs to do then our wagu Patty don’t forget about that and then after all that then everything gets built cheese happens we flip it over we cook it on the grill Mark side for beautiful Excellence okay so let’s just give these guys a flip but I’ve got a little more heat happening towards the center so I’ll just move these guys over oh it’s so hot ah looking pretty and the advantage of doing this all on one thing obviously is look at the onions now are getting the benefit of the grease now the grease is all running down because this Char broiler that I have doesn’t sit 100% flat of course the grease is going to run down this way well that’s fine because that’s a little bath for my onions which is only going to stand to make this a thousand times better oh boy those onions soft yummy delicious that’s give him a little salt and pepper shall we all right we got a couple more minutes now before the bacon will come off the onions will come off we can get the eggs happening get the little Patty happening get the magic happening off these guys come and they are spectacular the quote Seinfeld they’re real and they are spectacular you know that line chance I know it out a boy okay well look let’s just do this this is unnecessary but that’s bacon grease honestly with an A5 wagu Patty like this you don’t need any grease why because it has enough fat of its own but we’re not going to say no to the bacon grease that already exists so let’s just do this spread some upward and then take this kid and we go oh that’s hot but we haven’t seasoned this little fellow yet so we’re going to koser salt pepper and because it’s sitting right beside me the little garlic powder all right let’s try and flip oh boy what happened there that’s okay it’s going to be insane all right let’s go we’ll take this guy off I wish I had a there we go okay good good don’t worry don’t you worry it’s all about how it’s going to eat it’s egg time take some of this grease up we go and we come in with an egg and on it goes beautiful beautiful of course we season salt and pepper do your thing little buddy do your thing okay eggs coming off hello little fellow going to get some gloves give this a quick wipe flip them over and then we use the other side to make it pretty these are the components we got the aoli we got the what was supposed to be a Patty it’s okay cheese will hold it in place we’ve got the rye bread we’ve got our egg we’ve got our onions we’ve got our bacon we got to build it before we put it on the the ridg part of the gretto all right here’s our bread now if you think that aoli is going on here that’s a good guess but you’d be wrong we’re going to use it on the outside like butter for a grilled cheese it’s going to be spectacular first thing in though will be the onions honestly if you are not a caramelized onion fan there is something seriously wrong with you because they’re one of the great joys in life and the more you caramelize an onion the sweeter it gets just becomes fantastic okay now I thought this out next I’m going to try and get this kit on okay now you got your swiss cheese which is fairly traditional for patty melt and then you got your bacon and let’s go and that’d be 1 2 three in French and now this and now what everybody’s thinking at home Sam the egg yes but listen we’re going to be pressing a little bit to get the grill marks and if the egg’s in there the yolk’s going to pop we’ll slip the egg in after but before we do anything we have to do this black pepper AOL anybody have any idea how good this is going to be okay and we’re going to cook it right here on a burner because I want to show you another option for using the pan here we go this demands one quick flip over like that and on we go and you’re not really looking for it to sizzle right away because the outside’s going to cook way too fast before the cheese gets a chance to melt now if you want to come in with a little weight what’s the weight going to do the weight’s just going to give it even pressure help those lines set beautifully all right now we’re just waiting I don’t put anything on the top at this point because whether I’m using a weight or my hand I don’t need all that grease I just want that you don’t need to add your Lube to the top until you flip it all right so we’re ready to flip that comes off come back with the rest of our black pepper aoli and now for the fun part Uno do stay together and that is why you want a grill pan oh look at everything that’s happening in there is perfect I’m so excited all righty then only one thing to do remember what that is it’s the egg Lads got put the egg back chance remember about the egg in the center just like that shall I do you want this to happen Max do you and the classic egg yolk pop who doesn’t love that bite time ah it’s fantastic what a mess that’s exactly what this should be freaking A5 Wu bacon egg caramelized onion black pepper aoli mess and now I’m having a bite because I deserve it I’m absolutely salivating partially because I haven’t had proper solid food food in 4 days because of stupid Co You could argue that the wagu is absolute Overkill in something like this and on most days you know I might agree but today F no today with everything especially that black pepper AOL this is tremendous and was the right way to inaugurate the Sam the cooking guy 17-in reversible Grill griddle pan
