How do you cook cabbage on a Blackstone griddle? ›

Remove the bacon and sausages once cooked, leaving as much bacon fat as possible on the griddle. In the leftover bacon fat, add the chopped onions, peppers, and cabbage. Toss to coat and allow them to cook, tossing every minute or so until they reach the desired tenderness.

Once the cabbage is cut, whether in strips or leaves, or in any other size and shape, you can either freeze it right away or blanch it, drain it, and then freeze it. It's important to make sure the blanched cabbage is as dry as possible before frozen to avoid freezer burn.

Step 1Cut cabbage into wedges or slice it thin. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add cabbage. (It's OK to crowd the pot because the cabbage will shrink!) Step 2Boil until tender, about 5 minutes for shredded cabbage and 10 minutes for wedges.

Grill, covered, over medium heat until tender, about 20 minutes.

You may need a few spritzes to cover a 36-inch griddle. Note that the Blackstone company warns against using soap, as it can strip away the seasoning layer on the cast iron.

Once it's washed and cut up, cabbage can be frozen, but for longer-term storage, it's best to blanch it first. Blanched cabbage can be frozen for up to nine months, while unblanched cabbage will only keep for one to two months.

Although you can technically freeze cabbage raw, it's best to blanch it first before freezing it. In other words, you should boil the cabbage in hot water for a very short amount of time (around one minute) before placing it in the freezer.

Along with other cruciferous veggies such as broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts, cabbage is fine to snack on with your dog. Just be sure to start slow and limit their intake, since the high fiber and water content can cause an upset stomach if your pup has too much.

Red cabbages can be stored in a cool, dark place for a week to ten days. Before cooking, remove any tired or discoloured leaves and always cook red cabbage with a little vinegar. This preserves the beautiful purple colour – without it, the cabbage will turn blue!

Crisp it up: Shredded cabbage stays perky if it's soaked in cold water. This also helps cut the pungent edge. Drain well before combining with other ingredients.

Can you overcook cabbage? ›

You overcook the cabbage

Overcooked cabbage is rather unappetizing as it becomes too soft and attains "that" annoying smell that dissuades many from cooking cabbage.

You can always use liquid cooking oils on your griddle top. However, if you prefer the convenience of cooking sprays, we do offer a Blackstone Griddle Spray (available in stores at Walmart and Lowe's). Our spray was formulated without the additives that harm the griddle top.

Arrange the vegetables: Carefully place your seasoned vegetables onto the hot griddle. You can arrange them in a single layer or use a grill basket to prevent smaller vegetables from falling through the grates. Grill and flip: Let the vegetables cook for a few minutes until they start to char and develop grill marks.

What temperature should I set my Blackstone grill to for cooking vegetables? For cooking vegetables on a Blackstone grill, it is best to preheat the grill to medium-high heat. This is usually around 375 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The high heat will help caramelize the vegetables and impart a delicious smoky flavor.
