However, when cooking, a burger puffs up in the middle while its edges get burnt. You must press down on the center to keep this from happening and to be able to cook your burger evenly. Since (almost) all raw cast iron cookware is pre-seasoned nowadays and being used to it, the very first sight of this press was unspeakably ugly to me. However, it’s still an excellent smash burger press for its price. It has a good size and weight, is well-built, and is comfortable to use and clean. Pros Overall, the press is quite ergonomic, and a large diameter means you can press multiple smash burgers in one go.

Secondly, this tool is heavy. When you use a big spatula or a frying pan or something you have to actually press down yourself. This grill press has more than enough weight to do almost all of the work on its own. In addition to creating a more flavorful crust, pressing a burger patty can also help to keep the burger juicy. When you press the patty down, you force some of the juices out of the center of the patty and towards the edges. This helps to prevent the burger from drying out as it cooks. Both tools have quality construction, weigh about 2.5 pounds, and come pre-seasoned with flaxseed oil. Bellemain also offers a non-rotating, rectangular option at a lower price if a fixed handle is your number one priority.

However, I believe that the ergonomic benefits outweigh the risk of breakage. Even if the handle does break, it is a relatively inexpensive part to replace. While larger presses can cook more burgers simultaneously, they often yield subpar results. They function like lids, trapping heat and steam around the burgers. The trapped steam prevents browning, leading to less appetizing, pale, wan, wet, or soggy burgers. But I do have an under-used BBQ spatula (Heavy, Weber) I should try.
