10 Blackstone Products Launches Outdoor AirFryer Griddle Combo Outdoor griddle manufacturer Blackstone Products has added a new AirFryer Griddle Combination unit with gas-powered AirFryers to its family of outdoor cooking devices. The unit is launching at WalMart in January, 2020. Blackstone's AirFryer Griddle Combo comes packed with features, most notably a gas-fired air f r ying system with an additional warming drawer to complement the 756-square-inch griddle cooking surface. Indoor air fryers are typically heated with electric elements that can be sluggish and underpowered when cold or f rozen foods are introduced. Blackstone's AirFr yers are heated with 13,000 BTUs of propane, which is more than double the output of the most powerful electric indoor home air f ryer on the market today. The gas burner allows Blackstone's AirFryers to cook with even heat. Powerful electric fans circulate the hot air around the food, creating a convection oven-like environment perfect for many different uses. The convenience and benefits of cooking healthier foods with indoor air f ryers has been embraced recently. But indoor air fryers are typically designed to cook one food at a time. With independent cooking drawers, Blackstone's dual air f ryers allows the backyard chef to cook foods that may require different amounts of cooking time simultaneously and keep them warm in the dedicated warming drawer without missing a beat. The Combo AirFryer Griddle boasts additional convenient feature comforts designed with the cook in mind. The griddle surface, measuring 36 inches, ignites simply with a push-button ignition system. Its four independent burners bring a combined 60,000 BTUs of heat, and it includes Blackstone's rear grease management system, making cooking and cleanup a breeze. Foldable side shelves are at comfortable counter height with convenient hooks on the side for hanging tools and a magnetic strip on the f ront, perfect for holding metal utensils like spatulas and tongs. The AirFryer Griddle Combo also comes with a hinged lid similar to most existing gas grills. The lid does double duty keeping foods both warm and covered while cooking in the closed position and keeping the griddle safe f rom the elements when not in use. The Combo AirFryer Griddle's propane tank affixes securely to the side of the unit, allowing the griddle to roll easily across a patio on its four heavy-duty casters.
