The Sasquash - 6" Heavy Duty Extra Wide Flat Handle Smashed Burger Press
A stainless steel press for preparing smash burgers on a griddle or cast iron skillet. Suitable for those who already cook burgers at home.
$29.98
This 6" round press is intended for smash burgers, which involves pressing a ball of meat flat on a hot surface to achieve crispy edges. It features welded stainless steel construction and a wood handle, eliminating the need for cast iron maintenance.
Compatible with most stovetops, cast iron pans, and griddles, the handle remains cool enough for use without a towel, though caution is advised near high heat.
There is minimal learning required for those familiar with grilling burgers. Simply press down for a few seconds and release.
Why it works
- Stainless steel construction avoids seasoning and rust issues associated with cast iron.
- The wide wood handle provides a better grip than a short knob.
- Compatible with most home griddles, skillets, and flat tops.
Who it's for
- Individuals who already prepare burgers on a griddle or cast iron.
- Cooks seeking to create crispy-edge smash burgers at home.
What to know
- Warranty details are not specified; contacting the seller may be necessary.
- Designed specifically for smash burgers; not suitable for thick patties.
