Griddle Accessories Kit: Everything You Need for Flat-Top Grilling

What a griddle kit should include

A complete kit covers every job on the griddle. Wide spatulas move large amounts of food quickly and accurately, slotted spatulas drain grease, and a burger turner handles patties and pancakes. A scraper and chopper dice food and scrape the griddle clean, while a grill press holds food flat so it cooks evenly.

The smaller pieces matter just as much. Basting covers trap heat over food, egg rings keep eggs round, squeeze bottles hold oil and sauces, spice shakers season as you cook, and tongs, a brush and a meat knife cover the rest. A storage bag and hooks keep the whole set together between cooks.

What to look for in stainless steel tools

The steel decides whether your tools last. Good stainless steel is heat-resistant and rust-proof, so tools do not bend, break or rust under regular grilling, camping and cooking. BPA-free steel is the safer choice for tools that touch food directly.

Handles matter too. A comfortable handle keeps control when a spatula is loaded with food, and a tool that feels balanced in the hand is easier to work with for a whole cook than a cheap, top-heavy one.

• Stainless steel: heat-resistant and rust-proof, so tools last instead of bending or breaking.
• BPA free: safe for tools that touch food.
• Enlarged spatulas: a wider blade moves more food at once and slides under pancakes and burgers cleanly.
• Basting covers: trap heat and steam to melt cheese and finish food faster.
• Storage: a compact bag and hangers keep tools protected and easy to find.

Quick picks

For most flat-top grill owners, one kit covers it. Our pick below is the kit we recommend for Blackstone and Camp Chef flat-top grills, for backyard cooking and for camping.

• EWFEN 35-piece griddle accessories kit — our pick for flat-top grills.

Our pick: EWFEN 35-piece griddle accessories kit

This kit suits anyone cooking on a flat-top griddle — Blackstone and Camp Chef owners, backyard cooks, campers, and anyone who wants one bag with every tool instead of buying pieces one at a time. The 35 pieces include a long griddle spatula, a long slotted spatula, a large burger turner, a slant edge scraper, a small spatula, a griddle flipper, a slotted turner, a griddle press, grill tongs, a sauce brush, a chopper, two spice shakers, two squeeze bottles, four egg rings, a cleaning brush, ten hooks, a meat knife, two basting covers, a storage bag and a gift box.

Its strength is completeness: it is made of high-quality stainless steel that is heat-resistant and rust-proof, it is dishwasher safe, and the bag keeps everything together for camping and parties. It also works as a gift, with a gift box included, for Father's Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas. Its limitation is that it is a full 35-piece kit, so it suits cooks who grill often rather than someone who only needs a single spatula — and after washing the spatula and scraper, dry them properly to avoid rust.

How to clean and store your griddle tools

The tools are dishwasher safe, or wash them by hand with water and soap. After washing the spatula and scraper, dry them properly before putting them away, so they do not rust. Each tool has its place in the compact storage bag, which protects them and keeps the set together, and the hooks make storage easy.

A gift for grill lovers

A full tool set with a gift box is a practical present for anyone who loves barbecue or camping. It has every tool needed for yard, outdoor and camping barbecues, which makes it a good gift for friends, family or anyone who cooks outdoors.
