A burger that domes up in the middle and only browns on the outside is nearly impossible to flatten with a regular spatula. This cast iron burger press from Grill Fanatics presses the meat against the hot plate across its full width, so the whole surface touches the cast iron at once and the crust becomes even from edge to edge.
What you use it for
The weight does the work: you place the press on top, count off half a minute, and lift it back off. Besides smashburgers, you use it for bacon that would otherwise curl, for chicken breast you want cooked quickly, and for a toastie or grilled sandwich on the plancha of your kamado bbq.
- Cast iron, stays hot and doesn't flex
- For smashburgers, bacon, chicken breast and sandwiches
- Usable on kamado, gas bbq and stovetop
- Handle stays hot, use a glove
How to work with it
Heat the press along with the plate, so it doesn't pull heat straight out of your meat. Place a ball of ground beef on the hot plate, press it flat within the first thirty seconds and hold the pressure briefly, pressing longer only squeezes out moisture. Clean it with hot water and a brush without dish soap, then wipe dry with a thin layer of oil. Find a suitable surface at the bbq cast iron.
