HULISEN Stainless Steel Burger Press, Heavy Duty Burger Smasher, Griddle Accessories Kit-Perfect for Flat Top Griddle Grill Cooking, 5.5 Inch Square Grill Press

Product Information

That’s where the smash burger press comes in. A smash burger press is a simple tool that helps you create the perfect smash burger every time. It has a heavy-duty surface to flatten a burger patty down to size. One final advantage: a cast iron hamburger press like this one will last you for a lifetime. Cast iron will rust over time if you’re not careful, of course, but you can simply scrub off any rust spots and resume using your press. There’s pretty much no reason to ever replace a tool like this. You smash burgers by pressing down on them with a flat piece of metal. The bottom of a frying pan is an absolutely perfect way to do this. Your frying pan comes with a handy handle and you can easily push down on the inside of the pan with one hand to apply as much pressure as you want. In many cases, your frying pan will out-perform a dedicated tool. Smash burgers are made by placing a ball of ground beef on a hot griddle or skillet and then using the press to flatten it into a thin patty. This creates a crispy crust outside with a juicy center. While you can use a simple scapula to do the job, a super thin patty isn’t always guaranteed.

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. 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. The base of the press can be either flat or grill-shaped. Flat presses are user-friendly, easy to clean, and apply pressure evenly. Conversely, presses with a grill-shaped bottom distribute fat more evenly, sear burgers more efficiently, and leave appealing grill marks, enhancing the overall taste. Material & Texture

Making The Best Smash Burger At Home

However, the biggest selling point of the Victoria Meat Press is its textured bottom. The square dots are neither too subtle nor too prominent–they help to distribute heat evenly across the burger patty, resulting in a more evenly cooked burger, and they don’t make cleanup a mess. I love this burger press (or meat press) for its quality construction. The press is made in Victoria’s own factories in Colombia–they never outsource it–and the look & feel of their press validate it. On the downside, it comes unseasoned and will rust immediately if you don’t oil and heat it. You can trust the pre-included instruction manual to season it properly.

Victoria also offers a round burger press with a removable wire handle. This handle is a bit different from other wire handles in that it has no screws but still fits snugly into its holders and doesn’t move. Cast iron presses are superior to stainless steel presses because their heavier weight applies the right amount of pressure to the burger. However, they require hand washing and drying after each use and may need oiling to prevent rust. Despite the extra care, their performance often justifies the effort. These presses can have either a smooth surface or one with bumps or ridges, which can be more challenging to clean. 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. I have it on good authority that the chefs at many fine burger joints around the world don’t use any of the above tools to smash their burgers. Instead, they use a regular finishing trowel. Third, it measures 8 inches and weighs 3.5 pounds, just the right size and weight for all your pressing and smashing tasks.

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.” Overall, the Cuisinart Smashed Burger Press has everything in its arsenal to make it an excellent burger press. It’s well-made and performs very well. Can’t recommend enough. Pros: This press features the most ergonomic handle design. The price is also affordable.

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.Burger press, hamburger press, smash burger press, meat press, bacon press, grill press, and you name it, are pretty much the same. 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 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.
