Best Tools for Blackstone Griddle

We'd start new Blackstone owners with the Grilliance 27pcs Griddle Accessories Kit, because a single box covers the first season of cooking: spatulas in different sizes, a slant edge scraper, a chopper, locking tongs, a basting cover, a cast iron press, a patty maker, egg rings and bottles, plus a bag to carry it all.

Owners report that the chopper-scraper pieces and the squeeze bottles see the most use, and that the press and the dome do their jobs on smash burgers. A common complaint is rust showing up after the first use, along with a build that can feel thin in places, so we'd rinse and dry each piece after a cook. The maker also says the cast iron press should be hand washed and oiled before storage, which matters if the set will live outdoors.

The Ewfen 35PCS Griddle Accessories Kit is the larger step up from the Grilliance 27pcs Griddle Accessories Kit: it adds a second basting cover, four egg rings, a small spatula, a slotted turner and a meat knife, and it is pitched at Blackstone and Camp Chef flat tops alike. For households that cook breakfast and burgers on the same griddle, the extra covers and rings are real conveniences rather than filler.

Owners report spatulas sized well for burgers and pancakes, bottles they like, and a cover with a hole for hanging. They also say the pieces work well but are not the heaviest duty they have handled. A common complaint is that the storage bag is thin and only roomy enough for the spatulas, and that blades can pick up rust spots within about a month. Dry the blades after washing and this set is a very capable starter.

Set beside the Ewfen 35PCS Griddle Accessories Kit, the Blackstone Griddle Accessory Toolkit 6 Piece is a very short list: an angled scraper, two long spatulas, tongs, a squeeze bottle and a pair of scraper tongs. We like it for owners who already have burger gear or who would rather add specialty pieces one at a time than unpack thirty.

It is stainless steel with rust-resistant and heat-resistant handles, and the warranty is stated as one year. Owners describe the quality as high and the set as a complete group of griddle utensils for the basics. At 3 pounds, it is also easy to stash in a cabinet or a small outdoor cart.

If you want the maker's own name but more than a starter handful, the Blackstone Pro 22 Piece Griddle Tool Kit is the one we'd look at. Its six utensils include a 16 inch spatula, 16 inch tongs, a 16 inch fork, a 16 inch ladle and two extra-long griddle spatulas, all with heat-resistant plastic handles on stainless steel, and the set is rated dishwasher safe. Bottles and an apron round out the 22 pieces.

Owners report that it works well, that the spatulas are a good size, and that it is a sensible kit for anyone just getting going. The bottles are called large enough, and the apron gets praise as a nice extra. It also makes a good gift for Blackstone owners. At 5.86 pounds it is heavier than the Blackstone Griddle Accessory Toolkit 6 Piece, and the long handles keep your hands farther from the heat.

Unlike every kit above, the Blackstone Griddle Seasoning 15.3oz protects the cooking surface itself. The blend of palm oil shortening, beeswax, palm oil, canola oil and soy oil is meant to build a slick, rust-resistant layer, and only a thin film is needed, so one tub goes a long way. It also works on cast iron pans and grill grates.

Owners report that it goes on easily, makes cleanup simpler and keeps the plate in good shape; it is described as better than plain oil, and owners mention alternating it with avocado oil between cooks too. We'd buy it alongside any of the kits, because new griddles arrive as bare steel that needs seasoning before cooking and benefits from upkeep afterward. The maker stands behind it with a 30-day contact-us policy for problems.

This Pontual box leans toward burgers and breakfast more than the Blackstone Pro 22 Piece Griddle Tool Kit does, with two basting covers, a round smash press, a patty maker, two bear claws for handling meat, two squeeze bottles and a waterproof apron on top of the usual spatulas, scraper and tongs. The listed weight is 7.05 pounds.

Owners report it as an excellent starter kit with a good spread of stainless spatulas, and they like the carrying case. It makes a good gift for anyone with a flat top. The one common complaint is the apron, which owners call useless, so we'd treat it as a bonus rather than a reason to buy.

The Lingsheng Griddle Accessories Kit 31PCS reads like a trimmed cousin of the Ewfen 35PCS Griddle Accessories Kit: it shares the stainless steel, dishwasher-safe pitch and a similar run of spatulas, tongs, sauce brush, bottles and egg rings, but it supplies one basting cover rather than two and no meat knife. In their place it pairs a round griddle press with a separate hamburger press.

That makes it a fair pick for someone who cares more about smash burgers than about breakfast rings and extra domes. It ships with a storage bag, hooks and a gift box, so it also suits gifting.
