Designed for burgers and other pressed patties, this cast iron press provides steady, even pressure across the surface to help shape uniform patties as they cook on grills, griddles, or skillets. The surface is pre-seasoned, offering a ready-to-use cooking area and a patina that improves with use and cleaning. A natural wooden handle stays cool to the touch and offers a comfortable grip, helping reduce hand fatigue during longer sessions. The bottom is flat to control patty thickness and promote even browning, while also helping prevent curling and encouraging moisture retention for a consistent appearance and flavor. The durable construction supports repeated use in varying heat environments, whether outdoors or indoors. Cleaning is straightforward: the flat surface is easy to rinse, and the press can be washed with water, dried, and stored. This tool suits a range of kitchen tasks beyond burgers, including bacon and sandwich presses, making it a practical addition to both casual grilling and weeknight cooking. The weight of the press helps compact meat into a uniform patty, promoting steady contact with the cooking surface and a crisp crust. You can vary thickness by adjusting pressure, making it versatile for smash burgers or thicker patties. This combination supports steady results with minimal mess and easier cleanup.
