- The number of griddle accessories on the market is overwhelming... so how do you know what flat top grill accessories that you ACTUALLY need?

Cookie Sheets!!! I have about 4 half size cookie sheets from SAMS to transport food/equipment to and from the griddle. But you are spot on in keeping it simple out on the griddle.
You forgot to include beer on the list.
True...hahahaha
When you were making pizza the other day I started thinking about using a pudgy pie iron it might work for pizza and you can cook something else on your flattop.
Thanks for sharing Neil and Amy, enjoyed the video. Fred.
I absolutely love your videos. They are all so helpful. Thank you so much for everything you do for the griddle community. You’re wonderful!!!
Thank you so much!
Been using the Flatrock and it's totally changed my meal prep game. So much easier meal prepping for the week for the fam. Need to add the metal lid to my list.
Two things I think are a must that are not on here:
1) The aluminum tubs that go into the grease trap. Saves you a lot of cleanup! They are so cheap.
2) A fold out elevated tray that you can put somewhere on your griddle when cooking things such a pancakes. You can put the finished ones on the elevated trays and it keeps them warm while you finish all the other food
Bonus 3) A TV so I can watch the Chargers games while cooking for everyone at football parties!
CHAAAAAAAARRRRGEEERSSSSS
GO JAGS!!!!
Who Dey!
Excellent tips and knowledge Neal! Very helpful video! Cheers brother 🍻
Any time!
Alrite John… Your Griddle accessories were nice. I know what to get.. Thanks for showing.
Thanks Neal & Amy! - great content! - Cheers!
Thanks so much Garry
I have to agree that an instant-read thermometer is hands down the must-have. Using it to get the proper temp increased the quality of our food from hit or miss to home chef quality. Especially getting the breast right on a turkey!
100....
Excellent and very informative video Neal! By the way I just saw y'all on Tommy's show. That was a fun video to watch this morning as well. Have a great day Neal! 🌞
Glad you enjoyed it!
I bought the generic spatulas and scraper on your recommendations. They are awesome. The best thing I bought was a rolling tool chest from Harbor Freight. I use the top as extra table space for prep and the drawers for my griddle and grill tools, tv remote, etc.
Hey thats awesome...maybe im not crazy...ahahaha
Great video. Very informative. This is why you're The Flat Top KING!!!😂😂
Well I appreciate that...
Well done, thank you for the practical solutions. We are just getting started using our Blackstone while camping. The heat controls aren’t very good but nothing at that cost is perfect.
Glad it was helpful! Well said...i agree...
Thanks
Great information, very helpful. I don't have all the gadgets on the market, but I do have the Big 5. 😊
Perfect
Shameless ( LOL ) plug for the best spice combos I have used - And like you - years ago when I first started my griddling venture I thought I had to have a lot of "accessories" that I rarely if ever use - Thanks Neal
Thanks for sharing Steve...I should invoice him..ahhhaa nothing is free...
Can't wait to see you and Amy on Tommy's show tonight! 📺
Nice shirt! I love it!

Oh My! A Griddle Temperature Guide with large enough print I can actually read!
hahaha same here...larger font only..hahhaa
Aluminum serving trays make great steam covers, just use tongs or spatula to lift them up. I have a dewalt tool box to keep the griddle tools and accessories under the griddle shelf and out of the heat. The blue rhino griddle has wide side shelves that double as a cover, and allow hanging a grocery bag as a trash bin. You could punch a larger hole in the ketchup bottle lid. The spray can of Chosen avocado oil works well for a light mist.
Whether you have a flat top or charcoal or gas, the #1 game changer in improving your cooking is the instant read thermometer. Knowing when to pull your food off the heat is so important. Your final product will be more spot on more often. My steaks come out perfect every time. Going by touch is way to iffy, and it depends on your cut of meat. Sirloins feel different than ribeyes at 120°F.
Blackstone's combo thermometer doesn't seem to get enough recognition IMO. Infrared and probe features and it's awesome . It's small, accurate, and combines two tools into one. I recommend it to everyone that buys a new flattop and I'm not sure why I almost never see it on UA-cam.
The aluminum pans for the grease trap. They are disposable but I dump out the gear and water wipe it out and reuse. I also have the orange silicone cover for the BS and love it
I use a mustard bottle for my oil. Works good. I also have to have my 8" cast iron round bacon press for smash burgers.
Great video & info, my personal issue is I have so many types of grills from smoker/Gas/ wood fired pizza oven to charcoal i can't possibly buy and or store a dedicated griddle I have been looking for something that would fit Weber Summit S670 to use as a griddle to use in top of this BBQ, Any info on this would help me out immensely.
Neil , Amy another great video . Question , that silicon mat , I've heard their good for winter storage . They help with mouse droppings , I have them here and I've tried everything to stop them , your thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated .
The mice don’t go after my griddle since I switched to avocado oil. It’s less sticky than peanut oil too
Such great videos! Quick question on cooking essentials: How do you clean your wood cutting boards? A local chef once told me to never use soap and water as the soap can leave off flavors. I didn't think to ask him "So what do you use instead?". So? Asking a different chef now : ) Thanks again! Love the videos and your presses are fantastic. Cheers from CO
Personally I think thats crap...ahhaha now way you can sanitize chicken pork beef etc....I have used soap my whole life....never once have I noticed something off...My biggest advice is...make sure your cutting board is oiled/seasoned correctly...this will prevent the deep penetration of flavors...as well as bacteria
That may be the greatest shirt around!
hahhaah thanks
@@TheFlatTopKing Enjoying your content. Keep it coming!
Do you have access to that PDF with temps Id love that!
Don't forget the taste tester with the sound effects!
True...hahahha
Definitely get rid of that
sriracha bottles have an adjustable cap and are perfect for oils.......... and we all know there is at least 1 sriracha bottle in the FTK castle!
Absolutely
Where can we go to get a print out of your temp list? Thanks.
our website...

Hi Neal. How do I purchase your "featured" FTK Burger Press?? Thanks in advance for your reply. Love your channel!
theflattopking.com/
@@TheFlatTopKing OK, thanks, found it. Last question... does it rust?
Hi again Neal. Please advise if you FTK Burger Press will rust? Thanks
@@lagnaf absolutely it can rust. It’s 100% metal. With proper care it will not rust.
@@TheFlatTopKing Thanks Neal.
I use a plastic cleaning caddy from the thrift store to tote everything out to the griddle. It's not as nice as yours or a blackstone caddy, but it was $1.
Absolutely....great place to find something....
I like your flag behind you. I'm retired LS1
Thanks for your service...cheers
Where in Tennessee are yall. We are in Blount County south of knoxville
Used to live in South Knoxville..ahahha now its just Knoxville...
❤️👍
You're the QVC of flat tops
What if my black stone is brand new and the first cook was great and my propain is new and my flat top isn't getting hot
could be regulater...maybe turn off tank...open back up slowly...sometimes this can happen...
So, where do you get those pre-cut parchment paper rounds?
I got mine on amazon through his link from a video
amazon...I have links available...
Do you have to constantly recalibrate those thermometers I have one but I always feel it’s not accurate because I feel like like I need to recalibrate it in a glass of water help me out here I’m a greenhorn
I would not say constantly...maybe 2 times in 3 years...
Good to know appreciate ya
“Your” meat press is not available? I looked up as many ‘Kenzy’; ‘Kensy’; ‘Kenzey’ message as I could think of but could not find them…. Did I miss them listed?
The burger press is available...the bacon press is sold out for now...
they sell that scraper alone,but I sure won't pay $49.99 for it
where do you find it at...im not aware of that being sold separate and just looked on their website...
@@TheFlatTopKing I think it was amazon.I will check again
@@TheFlatTopKing just double checked,it's a stright handle one,sorry
@@MegaRickw not at all...just wanted to double check because like you mentioned...it sucks paying that much
Surprised you don’t have a griddle cleaning pad. Not always as simple to clean as you present.
With the ketchup bottle I heard u are actually suppose to squeeze it from the sides🤷🏽♀️ vertically!
Based on this video, the real question is, out of all the griddles you've used and done reviews on, which is your go to griddle? I'm still in my research phase and can't make my mind up on which to get. So many great models to choose from and all in a similar price point.
Traeger Weber Halo in that order...
@@TheFlatTopKing --$900----$450--$900 in named order and lowest prices listed at the time I checked Sometimes there must be massive sales like I have run across with Blackstone
thanks for your lemon pepper chicken recipe. perfect. you r detailed with being too detailed.
Thank you so much
you would think that by now someone would have copied that traeger scraper design. i was completely let down when i discovered you had to buy an overpriced kit for 1 good tool and a bunch of useless junk.
It's just a dough cutter/scraper... they are super cheap everywhere
I 100 agree...I hate when people ask where I got it...became I know that the response will be when they find it....
Excellent information, but we will never get you a major sponsorship if you keep telling, "truth." One foot in front of the other.
That's why he's the griddle king! No cap!
hahaha I an not looking....I have turned them down...I have never chased or wanted a brand deal with griddles...you think i am this far in the journey and have not been approached....We just mentioned on multiple videos I was just in Salt Lake City, 2 weeks in a row for both Camp Chef and Traeger....
😂 dude says instant read is a must have and doesn’t even have THE standard insta read on the market
