COMMON GRIDDLE ACCESSORIES USED MOST
- Blackstone griddle – Ok, this is quite obvious. However, it doesn’t have to have the name Blackstone on it. Ours at home is from Sams Club.
- Griddle Breakfast Kit – I picked this up at Lowes. Has everything you need for making breakfast. It includes Batter Dispenser, Bacon Press, and Two Egg Rings. The bacon press does double duty as you can use it for hamburgers too.
- Squeeze bottles – You might not think you need to purchase a good set of squirt bottles. Until you get a shirt full of oil. I wish I had a video of when I went to squeeze the oil onto the griddle and the top popped off and ended up all over my shirt.
- Heavy duty spatula – This works for pancakes, french toast, burgers, steaks, and more.
- Aluminum Foil Drip Pans – These are a no-brainer. You need these for the back or you will have grease and oil all over. And no, you can’t save them to reuse. Bugs will get into it.
More Griddle Supplies You Need
- Mesh Screen block – I didn’t think I needed this until half my food was ending up in the drip pan.
- Wind guards – When I was seasoning my griddle, it wasn’t working out. Someone suggested wind guards. While I needed to get it done, I made some temporarily out of foil. I then ordered these and they work great. Be sure to order the right size for your Blackstone griddle.
- Tongs – A good set of tongs are always handy for multiple reasons. In addition to flipping food, I use mine to hold the paper towels when the griddle is hot while spreading oil
- Infrared Temperature Gun – This is great to have even for cooking indoors.
- Cheese melting dome – You might not think you need one of these..but trust me. At some point you will be saying, I wish I would have bought a cheese-melting dome.
- Blackstone Griddle Seasoning – This is a must especially when seasoning the Blackstone griddle. I have tried lard and everything else on my previous griddle and nothing works as well as this.
