Designed to shape and press patties, this cast iron press weighs about 1.98 lbs. and pairs a flat bottom with a natural wood handle. The heavy-duty iron provides solid contact across surfaces, helping patty thickness stay consistent as you press and cook on grills, griddles, or skillets. The flat bottom aids control over thickness and crust formation, supporting uniform browning and moisture retention. The wooden handle stays cooler to touch, offering a comfortable grip during use. The press is suited to burgers, bacon, steaks, meats, and sandwiches, making it a versatile tool for outdoor barbecues and indoor cooking. The seasoned surface supports initial use and durable performance, contributing to even heat transfer and easier patty shaping during pressing for stable results. The design emphasizes consistent patty formation, as the flat base provides uniform contact, while the smooth edges minimize sticking and help you lift the finished patty without tearing. Routine cleaning after use and proper drying help preserve the seasoned surface and prevent rust. Its compact footprint stores easily in a cabinet or alongside other cooking tools, keeping it accessible for quick meal prep. Over time, the iron will develop a patina with use, which can further influence heat response and patty adhesion.
