Chopper/Scraper
The Multi-Purpose Griddle Scraper by Cuisinart is ideal for scraping, chopping, and serving.
If you are only going to treat yourself to one item from our list, then this one makes an excellent all-rounder. Its six-inch stainless steel blade is very durable, made from high-grade rust and corrosion-resistant steel. Use it to transfer your food from your griddle to your plate, just like a spatula.

Measuring nine inches tall by three inches wide, they are a great choice to fit in the Blackstone Portable Caddy Bag or any standard sized griddle caddy.
Tongs
A good pair of tongs are essential for griddling. Use them for turning over and moving a wide variety of food, as well as for picking up hot tools, domes, or other accessories. You’ll need a good pair that have good grip, balance, and a spring-locking action.
