Foldable Griddle Side Shelf for Blackstone 28 in Griddles - Extra Prep

In this review the Foldable Griddle Side Shelf for Blackstone 28 in Griddles earns a recommendation for anyone who needs reliable extra prep space next to a 28 in griddle. It is a simple, welldesigned accessory that adds an 11.8 by 17.3 in surface, a paper towel holder and four utensil hooks, and it can be mounted on either side. The review finds it most useful for backyard cooks who want a compact, foldable workspace without permanently modifying their griddle.

Key Features

• Perfect fit: Designed specifically for 28 in griddles, the shelf mounts cleanly to the frame so users get a snug, integrated workspace.
• Swap sides: The shelf can be mounted on the left or right side, giving flexibility for different cooking setups and nearby table placement.
• Ample surface: At 11.8 in by 17.3 in the shelf provides useful room for plates, spices or a small cutting board during active cooking.
• Built-in organization: The integrated paper towel holder and four utensil hooks keep common tools within reach and reduce clutter on the main griddle surface.
• Folds flat: The foldable design lets the shelf be lowered quickly so it does not block griddle handles or interfere with a fitted cover.
• Rust-resistant finish: Constructed from iron with a protective finish to handle regular outdoor use and support typical grilling weight.

Who It's For

This shelf is aimed at homeowners and outdoor cooks who own a 28 in griddle and want an immediate boost in prep and staging space without changing the griddle itself. It suits people who value quick setup, the ability to move the shelf to either side, and a fold-down option when storage or transport is needed.

It is less suitable for users with smaller or larger griddles, or anyone requiring a heavy-duty, permanently mounted workstation. Also, buyers who need an ultra-rigid paper towel mount should check hardware and build feel, since some users report variability in sturdiness.
