2lb Smash Burger Press Stainless Steel, Burger Smasher for Griddle Heat Resistant Handle, Hamburger Press, Dishwasher Safe Grill Press for Griddle, Meat Press Griddle Press for Flat Top Grill Cooking

I recently added this cast iron burger press to my grilling toolkit, and it’s been a fantastic addition. The 2-pound weight provides just the right amount of pressure to create those crispy, caramelized edges on smash burgers without overdoing it. The heat-resistant silicone handle stays cool to the touch, making it easy to maneuver even on a hot griddle.Beyond burgers, I’ve used it to press bacon and sandwiches, achieving evenly cooked results every time. The cast iron construction retains heat well, contributing to consistent cooking. Cleaning is straightforward—just a quick rinse and dry, though I make sure to season it lightly to maintain its condition.One minor drawback is its size; while it’s perfect for individual patties, it might be a bit small if you’re cooking multiple items simultaneously. Also, being cast iron, it’s heavier than some other presses, which might not suit everyone’s preference.Overall, this burger press delivers on its promises. It’s durable, effective, and a must-have for anyone serious about their grilling.

Very substantial!! Heavy, big, everything you would need to smash the pattys. FYI my burgers came out sooo good like Shake Shack

Fantastic grill press. Nice and heavy with a no heat handle for pressing the perfect burger

It's a good design. I grill on a cast-iron skillet over a Coleman 2-burner stove, so your mileage may vary.- The wavy texture on the bottom is wasted, because the press (as I use it) never gets hot enough to sear the meat. But that might not be its purpose.- The press is too light to press down things like boneless skinless chicken thighs. It's mentioned that it weighs 3 lbs. That's not really enough. I modified mine - it has handle extensions to clear the steel block I added. It now weighs 6.5 lbs. That would squash a single small burger, but the press rides nicely over two 1/3 burgers.It does the job I ask of it, but needed a bit of help first. Not everyone can make those changes. I'd look for something similar in design, but at least five lbs weight.

I use a cast iron press for bacon, smash burgers, and browning ham slices and other things. I love it. But the one I had worked only in my large pans and flat griddles. I have a 7 inch cast iron I love because I can cover it and splash water in for steaming - great for perfect, quick sunny-side up fried eggs, hash browns, and many other things. But I couldn't smash or press in it with my standard rectangular cast iron press.This little beauty works in this pan. It is also perfect for smash burgers with all kinds of mixed-in fillings. It is heavy and solid, so great to purpose. The silicone handle is cool even when the press is very hot. It is easy to set down on handle and edge upside down and pick up while cooking so that the bottom press surface does not touch anything.Easy to clean with water and stays clean with water only (no soap) when treated like cast iron - oil surface when you get it and occasionally. If you do slip up and it gets a bit rusty, scrub with steel wool and water, dry, and oil again. Easiest way to dry is sit it on a warm cast iron pan.I love the twisty ridge grooves and what they do for burgers and sausage. Did I mention sausage?

Works perfect. Smooth bottom and sturdy material make this the best smasher I have tried.

Works great..11 Nice and "Stout, built heavy"..Spray some cooking spray or wipe with oil, burgers stick sometimes after smashing...

I love smash burgers and this little gadget gets the job done. My only regret is that I didn’t buy two of them. I’m a big guy and like to have two burgers.
