Silicone Griddle Tools Mat for Blackstone - Large Silicone Spatula Mat with Drip Pad - Griddle Mat BBQ Grill Accessories - Side Shelf Mat Grill Pad for Blackstone Griddle Accessories (Orange)

Anyone who has cooked on a griddle, especially a Blackstone or similar outdoor griddle, knows that the edges where the trays sit can get hot—very hot! Using aluminum trays like I do to carry things to and from the griddle, one learns quickly about this heat issue. A silicone mat is the solution. This mat is sized to fit the Blackstone but also fits nicely on my other Member's Mark griddle, which is also 36 inches. As you can imagine, the silicone mat does get warm, but nothing near metal temperatures. Despite its bright orange color, which, believe it or not, creates a high-contrast surface to see your utensils, it's quite functional. I'm not sure why it's bright orange, and I must admit it's not my favorite color for something like this. Beyond the color, my only other observation is that as a mat covering the whole shelf, there's little room for other items like food trays. Since I'm right-handed, I've taken to placing this on the left side of the griddle and keeping the right side tray area for food, salt, and pepper shakers, and other items I need for prep and cooking. I imagine you can accommodate this as you wish, but it's an adjustment worth noting. The ribbed design keeps your tools from sitting in a pool of grease, which is a nice touch. I recommend it as it keeps your grill area tidy and clean—cleanup is a breeze with just running it under some soapy water. At the time of my aquisition the color was orange, unsure if they sell other colors you can choose from.

It was the perfect fit for my Blackstone! I got tired of my utensils falling off when I was cooking. This item makes them slip-proof and I don't have to rewash the utensils as I am cooking.

I was very pleased with these items. Sturdy and the quality was very good.

This fits our Blackstone grill and keeps the side table easy to clean, thanks!!

Great product for resting cooking spoons and other utensils while cooking. Very durable. Very pleased! 👍🏽
