The Best Griddle Spatulas to Buy - My top 3 Favorites

Looking for the best griddle spatulas and an in-depth flat top grill spatula review? Well, get ready to learn more about spatulas than you ever thought possible!

In this video, I’ll share my 3 favorite flat top griddle spatulas, including the one that I’ve been using for the last 2 years on my Camp Chef griddle. These are the best spatulas for your Blackstone or other traditional rolled steel griddle.

We’ll talk about what to look for when you buy a spatula, including:

- Handle design, shape, weight, and material
- Blade size
- Flexibility
- The balance of the spatula
- The angle of the spatula
- and more.

And, I’ll also go over my favorite silicone spatulas to use on the Pit Boss Ultimate Griddle - remember, that griddle has a ceramic coated, non-stick top, so I’m choosing to not use metal spatulas on mine.

I hope this video helps you decide which spatula to buy for your Blackstone or Camp Chef flat top grill! And be sure to reach out if you have any questions, and I’ll help in whatever way I can. Cheers!

I confess that I never thought I needed a YouTube video on spatulas... but that's a mighty impressive collection you've got there!

[michaelc]

Neil, I don't normally comment on YouTube videos. I must say, however, I thoroughly enjoy your channel. I have a 36" BS and a 22" E-Series griddle and really enjoy cooking on them. Keep up the good work demonstrating your methods and suggestions. You really have no idea how many folks you help with flattop cooking. Your bride does an excellent job assisting you.

Sitting home on Friday night watching a video about spatulas. Where did i go wrong?
Great video by the way.

The best Spatula is the one that's best to you. I have the Large Blackstone Spatula it's perfect for flipping 5 oz smashburgers. I have one with sides for scooping up messy items rather than trying to use two regular spatula's There is on one best for everyone. My first were from Lowe's and I still use that set.

[BBQDad]

Thank you for this video. Tons of valuable insights for those, like me, who have just purchased their first griddle.

[Meldelkel]

Many thanks for taking the time to explain all this. Before your video I had figured the biggest and strongest (and likely most expensive) was the way to go. Very helpful guidance indeed

[skennedy]

Thanks for this video. I just got my first Blackstone and was overwhelmed by the number of spatula choices. And most people were telling me to get a beefy wooden handled spatula. Your take makes much more sense to me. The delivery estimate from Amazon on the New Star Foodservice spatulas was going to be up three weeks, so I went ahead and ordered a couple of the Dexter-Russell 8x3 ones.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT IT MEANS ALOT WISH I KNEW THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE BLACKSTONE SET

[tacoaddict]

I am new to the flat-top community and so excited to learn more from you! This may have already been commented about, since I am watching this over a year since posting, but those Blackstone spatulas and the other heavier options you showed would be useful for people with disabilities or medical conditions. I randomly twitch in my arms and hands so weighted utensils and other kitchen supplies help counteract the shaking with their weight so I can almost work as if I did not have any twitching. I have had a significant reduction in the amount of food that has been flung across my kitchen since getting weighted utensils and such!

For sure, the comfortability is the main thing for me and the size is important because of what I'm cooking. If I need to flip or fold something like an omelette, then I may want a longer or wider spatula. Ultimately, it's all a matter of preference and it's all trial and error. I like my Blackstone spatula with a chopper or dough cutter. Happy GRIDDLING and thanks for the video.

That's some good info Neil. I have the wooden handled spatulas. I leave them on the griddle top frequently and and for periods of time. They have never gotten too hot on the exposed medal between the handle or the rivets. I suppose if left long enough that heat will eventually transfer, but again, it's never been an issue with mine. When I ordered them I never thought about the squared off blades with the sharp corners. After a couple uses, I did filed them round at the corners to prevent gouging the flat top. Another thing with the wood handles, I mineral oil them just like you do your wood cutting boards. Don't want them to dry out and crack. So why bother with wood? I like the natural look and feel. Thanks for another informative video.

I purchased a 36" Blackstone in December of 2021. I had already watched a ton of flat top videos and I knew you recommended the New Star Food Service spatulas. I wasn't crazy about the white handles and they may have been out of stock at that time, so I purchased the deluxe set of Blackstone spatulas while I was picking up the griddle. The set I have was 3 spatulas. 2 14" and 1 shorter wider spatula, along with a large plastic bottle and a scraper. The 2 long spatulas suck and I only use the short wide spatula for smash burgers, although I have a bacon press. So, I looked on Amazon and they had your spatula in black. So I ordered 2 of them and they are fantastic. Much easier to get under eggs and roll up an omelette The Black stone spatulas stain and are hard to clean. These seem like they are better quality steel, but flexible. The Blackstone spatulas are not flexible at all!

[michaelmorrissey]

FWIW, my go to spatula is the mercer culinary hell's handle. Very high quality stuff. They also make a heavy duty 6x5 version which IMHO is the perfect spatula for smash burgers. Thanks for the video!

[dcduben]

thanks alot for the info, as a newbee just starting out with a griddle this helps alot. ima pick up the newstars!

[mikebruce]

Well planned and presented. Great for novice and professional alike.👌

[jamesledesma]

A hibachi cook once told me The Dexter spatula is well balanced for doing cooking tricks. Spinning off the finger tips kinda tricks. Great video!! 👍 I'm here cause I'm looking to buy my spatula for my blackstone. Thanks

[TheMan]

I got the Dexter and love it. The rest stay inside and never used. You pay more but made in the USA and that makes a big difference to me. Plus it’s the best one ever.

[frankmarullo]

Good video Neil ! Back in the late 50's early 60's when I was a bad boy my grandmother used to get the spatula out that's what I would get hit on the ass with, being from a foreign country she always called it the pancake Turner, , , , ps quite a few of your video's remind me of my youth !! Love what you guys put out. THANK you Frank from

[BURNETTWEALTHGROUP]

I’m new to the home griddle world but in my younger yrs I’ve cooked on plenty of grills as a prep cook. Your videos are so great and informative, luckily I’ve just purchased my utensils and they have the stops you’re talking about. I’ll find out just how good they are tomorrow10/24/22 when they arrive

[harriso]

Are these still your favorites? Just got a griddle and your content is a lifesaver!
