Cooking on an electric griddle is a joy—everything from burgers and breakfast burritos to veggie medleys and shrimp tacos tastes better when cooked evenly on a flat surface. But the right accessories can take your griddle game from good to great.

The Current® Model G Single Zone Electric Griddle already gives you consistent heat, easy cleanup, and plenty of space to cook, but pairing it with the right tools makes cooking faster, safer, and even more enjoyable. Whether you’re prepping for a weeknight meal, hosting a brunch, or gifting something useful for a friend or family member, the right accessories matter.

In this guide, we’re highlighting the must-have griddle accessories that make your cooking life easier, and a few of them double as thoughtful gifts for birthdays, holidays, or any occasion.

1. Current® Griddle Tool Set

Why you need it

A solid set of tools is essential when cooking on a flat, hot surface. The Current® Griddle Tool Set comes with everything you need for flipping, stirring, serving, and flat-top cleaning, including:

• A long-handled solid spatula for burgers, pancakes, and sandwiches

• A slotted spatula created for more delicate foods, like eggs, or those that require better grease drainage during cooking

• A heavy-duty scraper for keeping the griddle surface clean – and can double as a precision chopper 

This set ensures you can handle multiple ingredients at once without crowding the griddle or risking burns. The long handles are perfect for reaching across the surface safely, and the durable construction stands up to frequent use.

If you’re shopping for someone who loves cooking, the tool set is a great gift idea—it pairs perfectly with a griddle, helping them get more consistent results every time they cook.

2. Locking Tongs

Why you need it

Tongs might seem simple, but the right pair can make a huge difference on a griddle. The Locking Tongs provide precise control when flipping or moving food, which is especially useful for smaller items like shrimp, diced vegetables, or delicate breakfast items.

The locking feature makes storage easy, keeping your kitchen organized. On the griddle, it allows you to handle hot foods without scratching the surface or risking burns. These tongs are perfect for multitasking and make cooking safer and cleaner.

They’re also a practical gift for anyone who enjoys cooking, whether it’s a parent who does weekend breakfasts or a friend hosting summer brunches.

3. Griddle Cover

Why you need it

A griddle cover might not seem exciting, but it’s one of the most useful accessories for keeping your griddle in top shape. The SoftFlex™ Griddle Cover protects your appliance from dust, weather, and potential damage from other natural elements when it’s not in use. Our griddle cover is lightweight and flexible, which delivers a snug, secure fit and makes it easy to handle and store.

Beyond protecting your own equipment, a griddle cover is also a thoughtful gift, especially for someone who values organized, well-kept kitchen tools. Our cover comes in two unique colors, so you can make sure it matches their space and vibe. Pair it with a tool set for a full griddle starter kit they’ll actually use.

4. CoolSurface Cleaning Brush

Why you need it

After cooking with your griddle, set your future self up for success by using our Cleaning Brush. From the ergonomic handle to the strong nylon bristles, this brush excels at removing residue without scratching the griddle surface. The head is replaceable, which reduces waste and extends the brush's lifetime. It’s designed to be used once the griddle has cooled down, but can also be used on grills, pizza stones, and more cooking surfaces.  

It might not be the most exciting of griddle accessories, but this high-quality, durable cleaning brush will be a gift that is used and appreciated for a long time. 

5. Food Probe Expansion Kit

Why you need it

Cooking meat and other proteins to the right temperature can be tricky, especially on a flat griddle. The Food Probe Expansion Kit adds precise temperature monitoring to your cooking process, when using the Model G Griddle or Grill. 

With a probe, you can:

• Ensure steak, chicken, or pork reaches the perfect internal temperature

• Avoid overcooking or undercooking

• Monitor multiple foods simultaneously with the griddle’s companion app 

This accessory turns the Current Electric griddle into a more versatile cooking station, giving you confidence that every meal comes out perfectly. It’s especially useful for busy weeknights or casual dinner parties, where timing is key or you’d like to monitor meat temps remotely. 

How these accessories improve your griddle experience

All of these accessories have one main goal: making cooking on a griddle easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable. Here’s how they elevate your weeknight or weekend cooking:

• Speed and efficiency: Using the right tool for the right task keeps your prep and cook times low.

• Safer cooking: Long handles, locking mechanisms, and heat-resistant materials minimize the risk of burns or accidents.

• Better results: Tools like the grilling spatula and food probe help you cook proteins and delicate items with precision.
