Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Burger Press, 6.25 Inches

Does what it does. However buyer beware, this isn’t a completely flat press. I was under the impression that it was a decently thick piece of cast iron given the images. It’s not. It’s a lip that has an inner empty space that is about 1/2 inch. So if you were looking for something to really flatten things like a smash burger, this isn’t it. Unless 1/2 inch thickness is what you were looking for but it still serves as a great press for cooking foods that require a weight. Smallest cast iron pan this will fit in is the 8 inch one.

Top quality, performs as supposed to. You can't ask for more than that.

This is a product for grilling round perfect burgers. If you are looking for a smash burger press, this is not it.

I got this because I discovered that bigger is not always better. The big, square Blackstone press is honestly just too awkward to use for smash burgers, so I grabbed this one. It's super easy to use and to clean - all one piece, so grease doesn't hide where a handle is joined. One thing I did not realize until I got it is that the flat part is actually recessed slightly. I wasn't sure how I felt about this at first, but I like it now that I've discovered that it keeps the meat at just enough thickness for a more tender inside while the outside crisps. Also, that little lip helps to contain the grease splatters when you press enough to make it contact the griddle surface. This is my new go-to griddle tool for anything smashable.

Good, heavy-duty burger press, but it has a significant lip around the bottom edge that isn’t pictured in the product photos.This defeats my purpose, as I’m using this for smash burgers that get smashed flat

Great quality presses burgers decreasing cooking time and keeps patties flat

Like all Lodge, it's a basic, easy to use and clean up tool. This is perfect for making consistent burgers. It says it's for outdoors but I use it in my skillet on the stove all the time. It's simple, well made, and does what it's made to do. Kind of like all Lodge cast iron products.

Lodge es garantia en metal forjado de gran calidad y esta no es la excepción. Buen tamaño y peso para hacer unas verdaderas "smashed" burgers de primer nivel. Muy recomendable.

Profissionalmente ou por hobby, utensílio essencial e de ótima qualidade pra fazer hamburguer artesanal. Mas ATENÇÃO: ele tem uma borda que deixa a superfície de contato com o hamburguer a 1 cm da chapa... então, SÓ SERVE PARA PRENSAR HAMBURGUERES COM PELO MENOS 1,5 CM DE ALTURA (menos que isso, sequer encostará na carne). Como é de ferro fundido, importante lavar a cada uso, secar rapidamente ao fogo, e após, untar levemente com um pouco de óleo de cozinha ou azeite antes de guardar (senão enferruja). Recomendo, com certeza!

Damaged and rusty when received.

The best one I have used bar none ! This is my 3rd press and its the best I've used because of that 1/2" lip ! All other can't compare as the lip keeps the edges together without falling apart so you get a nicely shaped burger.

works well and good quality
