The 6 Best Blackstone Griddle Accessories

If I could only use six griddle accessories for the rest of my life on my Blackstone, these are the ones I’d pick.

I’m not going to waste your time talking about tongs or basic spatulas. You probably already have them. Just make sure they’re metal (no melted plastic on a 500° surface) and ideally have a beveled edge so you can get under burgers and pancakes easily.

These six accessories are the ones I actually use all the time — not the gimmicks, not the giant “as seen on TV” stuff. Just practical tools that make cooking easier and cleanup faster.

Quick Summary

1. 2-in-1 Oil Bottle & Spritzer – Lets you control exactly how much oil you use without messy aerosol cans or melting plastic bottles.
2. 2-in-1 Infrared Thermometer (Surface + Probe) – Measures both griddle surface temperature and the internal temp of your food so you can cook with confidence.
3. Small Wire Rack – Gets food off direct heat so it can rest without continuing to cook.
4. Griddle Dome – Creates a mini oven effect to steam veggies, cook potatoes through, or speed up thicker foods.
5. Smash Burger Press – Makes it easy to get thin, crispy-edged smash burgers every time.
6. Wide Scraper – Flips food and cleans the griddle faster thanks to its extra-wide surface.

Now let’s break down why each one earns a permanent spot on my griddle. Video is frirst followed by details on each accessory.

My 6 Favorite Blackstone Griddle Accessories

1. 2 in 1 Oil Spritzer

This thing turns any oil into a spray — without using aerosol cans.

Blackstone doesn’t recommend aerosol sprays, and even though I’ve used them before, I prefer this because:

• I can control exactly how much oil I use.
• I can use whatever oil I want.
• It doubles as a pour spout if I need more oil.

Most people recommend cheap plastic squirt bottles for oil and water. I’ve melted multiple ones by accidentally leaving them too close to the griddle. This one is glass, and I’ve been using it for months with zero issues.

It’s inexpensive, durable, and I use it every single cook.

2. 2-in-1 Infrared Thermometer (With Probe)

I say this all the time: cook by temperature, not by the knobs.

“Medium” on my four-burner in Ohio in November is not the same as medium on your two-burner in Florida in July.

An infrared thermometer lets you:

• Check exact surface temperature
• Know when you’re ready to cook
• Avoid burning food
• Dial in consistency

I personally like a 2-in-1 version that includes a meat probe. That way I can:

• Check surface temp
• Check internal meat temp
• Make sure chicken is fully cooked

Even after five years of griddling, I still use it constantly. For new owners especially, this is huge.

3. Small Wire Rack

This thing basically lives on my griddle.

I use it to:

• Rest steak
• Move bacon off heat
• Hold toasted buns
• Keep pancakes warm
• Get food off the surface without continuing to cook it

The key benefit? It gets food off the direct heat while still keeping it warm.

I used to have a large rack, but it took up too much space. A smaller one works perfectly and is usually under $10.

Simple tool. Huge impact.

4. Griddle Dome

A lot of people use a dome just to melt cheese. That works — but I actually use a splash of water more often for that.

Where the dome really shines:

• Steaming vegetables
• Cooking potatoes through
• Creating an “oven effect”
• Speeding up thicker foods

Add a little water, cover it, and you’ve basically created a mini steam oven on your flat top.

If you’re camping, you can even get creative and use the dome with a rack underneath to cook biscuits or cinnamon rolls.

Round or rectangular? Both work. I slightly prefer rectangular because it fits the griddle shape better, but it’s not a huge difference.nk you need until you use it—then you’ll wonder how you ever cooked without it.

5. Burger Press

Let’s be honest — a lot of people buy a Blackstone to make smash burgers.

Yes, you can use two spatulas. But a press makes it easier and more consistent.

With a good metal press:

• You get thinner burgers
• Better crust
• That lacy, crispy edge
• Even cooking in the burger’s own fat

Use parchment paper when smashing, or let the burger sear briefly, flip it, and smash the cooked side to prevent sticking.

You do not need a giant, manhole-cover-sized press. A simple metal one under $15 works perfectly.

6. Wide Scraper

This is technically not a spatula — and it earns its own spot.

Because it’s so wide, it:

• Flips pancakes easily
• Gets under smash burgers
• Cleans the griddle much faster

I used to use separate cooking and cleaning tools. Now I prefer tools that can do both.

The width makes scraping faster, especially when cleaning the surface after a cook. There are smaller versions too — some fit the grease trap area better — but I prefer the wider one for speed and versatility.

This is one of those tools you don’t realize you need until you use it.
