National Cooking Day: 6 Products Worth Firing Up

National Cooking Day is September 25. That means you have an official reason to put down the takeout menu and make something yourself.

You might think over here at Acme Tools, we are just known for our drills, but we also carry some of the best cooking gear. Whether you want to flip pancakes inside, grill burgers outside or finally make a pizza that beats delivery, these six products can make it happen.

The Blackstone E-Series 22-Inch Electric Griddle brings the Blackstone experience indoors, no propane tank or good weather required.

Its 312-square-inch cooking surface gives you room for pancakes, bacon, eggs, smash burgers, fried rice and more. Two independently controlled heat zones let you cook different foods at different temperatures, while the rear grease-management system helps simplify cleanup.

The LCD touchscreen controls and removable hood make this a convenient option for anyone who wants griddle cooking without stepping outside.

Sometimes, you just need a good gas grill. The Weber Spirit E-310 keeps things simple while delivering the performance needed for burgers, steaks, chicken and vegetables.

Its three burners produce 24,000 BTUs across a 360-square-inch primary cooking area. Porcelain-enameled cast-iron grates retain heat well, while Weber’s Flavorizer Bars catch drippings to add flavor and reduce flare-ups.

With individual Snap-Jet ignition, a built-in thermometer, tool hooks and an additional warming rack, this is the dependable backyard grill that can handle weeknight dinners and weekend cookouts.

If you want that smoky flavor but don’t have the patience to babysit a fire like it’s your Tamagotchi, check out the Weber Searwood XL 600 Pellet Grill.

It has a temperature range of 180 to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing you to smoke brisket low and slow before turning up the heat to sear burgers or steaks. SmokeBoost adds extra wood-fired flavor, while the full-grate sear zone gives you more room for high-temperature cooking.

It’s 2026, so obviously this grill has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. By using the Weber Connect app, you monitor the cook from your phone. You still have to prepare the food, but you do not have to stand next to the grill for six hours.

If takeout pizza isn't hitting the same anymore, look no further.

The Gozney Arc Outdoor Pizza Oven uses a lateral gas burner to create a rolling flame similar to one found in a traditional wood-fired oven. It can reach and hold 950 degrees Fahrenheit, providing the heat needed to cook a 14-inch pizza in 60 seconds or less once the oven is preheated.

A built-in digital thermometer and adjustable flame give you better control over every pizza. It is a serious upgrade for anyone who wants restaurant-style crust without building a brick oven in the backyard.

Not every useful cooking tool needs a cord, battery or propane tank.

The Lodge Double Play Reversible Grill and Griddle gives you two cast-iron cooking surfaces in one piece of cookware. Use the flat side for pancakes, eggs and grilled sandwiches, then flip it over for burgers, chicken and vegetables.

Its double-burner design provides plenty of cooking space, and it can be used on a stovetop, including induction, in an oven, on a grill or over a campfire. It also arrives seasoned and ready to cook.

If you want one affordable product that can do a little bit of everything, this is an easy choice.

The Ninja Woodfire 6-in-1 Outdoor Electric Oven is for the person who does not want to choose between an oven, smoker and pizza oven.

It offers six cooking functions: Pizza, Max Roast, Specialty Roast, Broil, Bake and Smoker. Its temperature range runs from 145 to 700 degrees Fahrenheit, giving it the versatility to handle everything from slow-smoked pork to high-temperature pizza.

The oven can add wood-fired flavor with only half a cup of pellets. It also has enough room for a 12-pound turkey, 9-pound pork shoulder, 12-inch pizza or full sheet-pan meal. At 700 degrees, it can cook a pizza in approximately three minutes after preheating. This thing is pretty much a jack-of-all-trades.

You do not need all six, although nobody here is going to stop you.

1. Choose the Blackstone E-Series for indoor breakfasts, smash burgers and fried rice.
2. Pick the Weber Spirit E-310 for straightforward backyard grilling.
3. Go with the Weber Searwood XL 600 for smoking, searing and app-connected control.
4. Buy the Gozney Arc if pizza night is a serious event at your house.
5. Grab the Lodge Double Play for affordable cast-iron versatility.
6. Choose the Ninja Woodfire Oven if you want one outdoor appliance that can roast, bake, smoke and cook pizza.

National Cooking Day only comes once a year, but good food does not have to. Find the right setup, fire it up and start cooking.
