Overall, it’s an excellent smash burger press, especially considering the value it provides for its price. Pros My wife saw my big CI pan, which had been stored away, and immediately thought of a recipe she'd seen where a stove top meal was transferred to the oven. She said, "That pan could go from the stove into the oven couldn't it?" Another thing to note is that it’s cast iron and needs regular seasoning. So, if you’re a lazy a** like me, you’re better off with a stainless option on our list.

The perfect smash burger is a thing of beauty (and a joy forever). It’s juicy inside, flavorful, and has a perfectly crispy crust outside. But making a great smash burger takes more than just good meat and technique. You also need the right tools. I was browsing another forum and someone posted this video and was asking what smash burger tool that was.

I loved the Cuisinart Smashed Burger Press for its quality, price, and ease of use. I sang its praises from the tops of the mountains but still refused to call it the number one smash burger press. It had just an adequate size (of 6.5 inches) and weight, had a wooden handle placed at a comfortable height, and was sturdy and durable. However, the only thing it was missing was a flat bottom. Cleaned well with hot soapy water and a scrubby sponge, and spent days re-seasoning my CI. It continues to get seasoning as I fry hamburger for the dog in it.

Bellemain also offers a non-rotating, rectangular option at a lower price if a fixed handle is your number one priority. This option also features a wooden handle, but the handle design is such that it doesn’t rotate. However, all cast iron cookware needs babysitting, and this burger press is no exception. The motto goes, “You treat cast iron well, and it will serve you well.”Jim Beam’s product listing says it’s 0.02 pounds, which seems to be a typo because the press weighs slightly more than 3 pounds. And while the company doesn’t say anything about where it’s made, the quality is more American than Chinese. Its chances of rusting are dim with proper care.
