Pre-Seasoned Round Cast Iron Press - Cast Iron Griddle Press for a Restaurant-Quality Sear - Unparalleled Heat Retention - Use on the Stove or the Grill - 6.25 Inch

Very well made and a good brand . will not make smash burgers due to the lip a bit too deep. Will make regular burgers. For smash use a heavy duty spatula.

Works great ! I've always loved lodge cast-iron!

It's good quality and feels heavy enough. However, I was not aware the press had a lip to it and was not flat I brought this for making smash patties and had to return it because it was not flat Watch out if buying for smash burgers

very nice for smashburgers. a nice uniform thin patty, heavy duty, am pleased with my purchase

I got this because I discovered that bigger is not always better. The big, square Blackstone press is honestly just too awkward to use for smash burgers, so I grabbed this one. It's super easy to use and to clean - all one piece, so grease doesn't hide where a handle is joined. One thing I did not realize until I got it is that the flat part is actually recessed slightly. I wasn't sure how I felt about this at first, but I like it now that I've discovered that it keeps the meat at just enough thickness for a more tender inside while the outside crisps. Also, that little lip helps to contain the grease splatters when you press enough to make it contact the griddle surface. This is my new go-to griddle tool for anything smashable.

Good, heavy-duty burger press, but it has a significant lip around the bottom edge that isn’t pictured in the product photos. This defeats my purpose, as I’m using this for smash burgers that get smashed flat

Makes great burgers and is easy to clean

I have a number of cast iron items that are manufactured by Lodge and true to form this burger press did not disappoint. If I had had any regrets, one woould be that the handle is awfully close to the griddle without any type of isulation. Since I use it for smash burgers that hasn't been a significant issue as I drop the hamburger balls (i/2-cup ground chuck) on the griddle and then smash them using a piece of parchment paper to keep the meat from sticking to the press. I also use the press to prepare breakfast sausage prior to baking (we mass bake our sausage and heat only what we need for our meals). The press makes burgers or sausage patties very uniform and I have found that 1/2-cup measuring cup is the perfect amount! It weighs out at just over 4 oz prior to cooking.

Lodge es garantia en metal forjado de gran calidad y esta no es la excepción. Buen tamaño y peso para hacer unas verdaderas "smashed" burgers de primer nivel. Muy recomendable.

Profissionalmente ou por hobby, utensílio essencial e de ótima qualidade pra fazer hamburguer artesanal. Mas ATENÇÃO: ele tem uma borda que deixa a superfície de contato com o hamburguer a 1 cm da chapa... então, SÓ SERVE PARA PRENSAR HAMBURGUERES COM PELO MENOS 1,5 CM DE ALTURA (menos que isso, sequer encostará na carne). Como é de ferro fundido, importante lavar a cada uso, secar rapidamente ao fogo, e após, untar levemente com um pouco de óleo de cozinha ou azeite antes de guardar (senão enferruja). Recomendo, com certeza!

Useful, good quality.

Made in the USA- perfect for my son for his smash burgers- this is a gift-

works well and good quality
