Cuisinart 6.5" Cast Iron Smashed Burger Press

The Cuisinart Cast Iron Smashed Burger Press is the secret weapon for creating restaurant-quality smash burgers with incredible crust and caramelization. This heavy-duty 3-pound press provides the perfect weight to flatten burger balls into thin patties while maximizing contact with the hot cooking surface. The result is the coveted crispy, lacy edges that define a great smash burger. The 6.5-inch diameter is ideal for standard burger buns, and the smooth cast iron bottom creates even pressure without tearing the meat. The wooden handle stays cool during cooking and provides a comfortable, secure grip. The press arrives pre-seasoned and ready to use, though we recommend seasoning it like any cast iron product for best results. Beyond burgers, this press excels at making bacon flat and crispy, pressing paninis and grilled cheese, and even works as a compact griddle weight for pressed sandwiches.
