Do you need grilling tools for your outdoor griddle? To make cooking and cleaning easier on your flat top grill, you want to get a griddle accessories kit.
These toolkits typically include a variety of different spatulas, along with a cleaning scraper. In addition, some packages include choppers, egg rings, tongs, basting brushes or squeeze bottles.
With the right cooking gadgets, you can get a lot more creative with your cooking. Not to mention, mixing, flipping and chopping food becomes a lot easier.
1. First of all, the spatulas are larger than your typical kitchen spatula. Therefore, they work well for moving large amounts of food. And, they make it super easy to flip burgers, eggs, pancakes, etc..
In addition, they feature a beveled edge, which makes it really easy to slide the spatula underneath food and lift it off the grill.
2. Second, the scraper also doubles as a chopper (so you don’t need to buy as many utensils). You get the best of both tools while saving money at the same time.
These commercial-grade grilling tools are made with thick stainless steel and have heavy duty plastic handles that don’t transfer heat. They can stand up to frequent use and last a long time. (Plus, you can throw them in the dishwasher.)
Griddle Tools for Easy Clean-Up:
Furthermore, the metal scraper and squeeze bottles speed up clean-up time immensely. (I actually consider them essentials because fast clean-up makes griddling so much more enjoyable.)
Easy Way to Clean Your Griddle: After you finish cooking, squeeze water on the hot grill to create steam and loosen stuck-on food. Then, use the scraper to lift off debris. Last, use the other squeeze bottle to add cooking oil to the griddle plate to season it and prepare it for the next time you grill.

7-Piece VS 12-Piece Griddle Accessory Toolkit:
Similar to the set above, the next professional grilling kit contains restaurant grade spatulas that help you cook like a pro. In addition, it includes 5 more tools.
1. First, you get 2 egg rings for cooking perfectly shaped eggs, pancakes and more. To but a set of egg rings separately would usually cost between $10-12.
2. Second, you get barbecue tongs (generally $8-10 when bought separately). I like these for picking up sausages, shrimp and pasta. They also come in handy when spreading oil with a paper towel over the griddle after you finish cooking.
3. Third, the kit includes a bonus silicone basting brush. Although typically inexpensive, this little cooking gadget makes it super simple to spread marinade and sauces on food while cooking.
4. Fourth, you get a food scraper and a chopper (versus the 2-in-1 tool above). Although not necessary, having an extra tool can be convenient, especially if you grill a lot.
Note: Even though you get 5 more tools in this accessories kit, both sets cost about the same. Therefore, I think this griddle toolkit offers the best deal.
Specs for the 12-Piece Griddle Accessory Toolkit:
- 12-Piece Set
- Material: 304 Stainless Steel (heavy duty)
- Handle Color: Black
- Spatulas Have Hanging Holes

Note: You can use both of these griddle cooking tool kits with Blackstone, NexGrill, Camp Chef, Royal Gourmet and other models. In addition, they work well with outdoor barbecues and even indoors in your own kitchen.
Blackstone makes its own branded essentials kit, however, it comes as a 5-piece set. In other words, you don’t get the tongs, brush, scraper, egg accessories and multi-sized spatulas.
