BLACKSTONE 22" Griddle Hard Cover with Handle — Model 5079 Black, Heat-Resistant Steaming Hood

The Blackstone 5079 hard cover is a fitted, heat-resistant top lid designed to protect and preserve your 22" Blackstone griddle while doubling as a steaming/warming hood.

Built to match the size and shape of Blackstone's 22" tabletop griddle, this hard cover shields the cooking surface from dust, moisture and contaminants when the griddle is not in use. Its black powder-coated finish resists stains and odors and wipes clean easily. Lightweight but sturdy, the cover also features a heat-resistant handle and two hanging brackets so it can be removed and stored conveniently without touching your griddle’s surface.

How does this cover protect my griddle between uses?

The rigid shell creates a barrier that keeps rain, dust and insects off your griddle plate, reducing the chance of rust and the need for extra cleaning before cooking. The powder-coated surface minimizes water adhesion and staining, while the precise fit prevents debris from accumulating along edges.

• Prevents condensation build-up that contributes to corrosion.
• Blocks dust, pollen and pests from settling on the griddle plate.
• Powder-coated finish reduces stains and is easy to wipe clean.

Can I use the cover while cooking to steam or keep food warm?

Yes — the cover is heat-resistant and can act as a temporary dome to trap heat and steam for tasks like finishing cheese melts, steaming vegetables, or keeping meats warm after turning off the griddle. It is designed for short-term, high-heat exposure rather than prolonged direct flame contact.

• Heat-resistant handle lets you lift the lid safely when warm.
• Useful for quick steaming or melting during service.
• Helps hold in heat to keep food warm while plating.

How does the cover attach or store when not in use?

The cover simply sets over the griddle for protection and includes two built-in hanging brackets that let you rest the cover off the back of the griddle when you need the surface exposed. Two handles make removal and placement straightforward and reduce the chance of touching the hot griddle surface.

• Two handles for balanced lifting and placement.
• Hanging brackets allow tidy storage on the griddle back.
• Lightweight 9-pound build keeps it easy to move yet durable.
