Better contact, better even sear. Not smash steak, just enough weight to keep it flat on surface.

I think part of the appeal of this over cast iron (aside from the weight) is the ease of cleaning. Some folks just want to throw a stainless steel utensil in the dishwasher and not deal with cast iron clean-up.

Community Reviews

This Blackstone stainless steel burger press is mainly for smash burgers and flat searing, with enough weight to improve contact and give an even crust. The slim, lightweight shape makes it easy to handle and store, and stainless steel is easier to clean than cast iron, even dishwasher friendly. It also works for holding bacon down or pressing burgers straight down with less fuss than a wide spatula. The main knocks are that it feels too light for some, the ribbed back can stick to burgers, and cast iron is still seen as better for heat retention and versatility.

  • Smash-burger cooks who want better contact and an even sear, because the press is heavy enough to keep patties flat on the surface.

  • Griddle cooks who want a press that is easy to clean, because stainless steel is simpler to wash than cast iron and can go in the dishwasher.

    AggregateSumOneg3ck1

  • Home cooks pressing bacon or two burgers at a time, because the press is light enough to move around yet still holds bacon down.

  • Burger cooks who prefer a straight-down smash over a wide spatula, because this tool makes that motion easier.

    soobaerodude

  • Cooks who want a heavy, heat-holding press for top crust, because this thin stainless design only smashes the patty instead of searing the top.

    dotBenfiveohmxco

  • Smash-burger cooks who hate sticking, because the ribbed surface can grab the patty and tear it apart when lifting.

    cesarenrique32rino420

  • Grill cooks using slotted grates, because the liquid can smoke off instead of staying under the meat and the burger cooks in its own fat.

    keepontowsieing

  • People who need a press that stays cool in hand, because stainless and cast-iron presses can get hot without an insulated handle.

Had one of these for years. Great for smash burgers, just heavy enough to hold bacon down. Lightweight and slim to throw around. Easy to clean.

Try it before you knock it.

Looks large, but not heavy enough. The riveted handle looks sketchy too. I'll pass

I don't understand why people want to press out all the juices. That's what makes a burger taste good.
Smashing is done on a griddle or cast iron skillet, not a grill with slots where the liquid smokes off. You are cooking your burger in it instead of letting it burn away. Since burger meat typically has a high fat content you're technically frying your meat in beef tallow. Most people grill cold burgers instead of letting them settle so the inside medium rare part is barely warmed up and kind of disgusting or the outside is overcooked. It's hard to mess up a smash burger

The weight is really about thermal density - cast iron holds more heat each cooks both sides faster (stating the obvious in case it isn't - you pre-heat the grill press on your surface to get both the pan and the press hot before your throw down your meat).

Something this thin is only smashing down the patty, it's not creating a seared crust on the top. I agree with the other comment that a similarly priced cast iron option is a better addition to your kitchen

I was going to recommend this one for 2 burgers but the price has quadrupled: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005TGY0ME.

It's got good weight too for steak, etc. Not to smash, but to sear after sous vide.

I use it with a cast iron pan as well, which has doubled in cost: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000CF66W

No one talking about the part where the heat is going to brand your hand... I have cast iron ones with wooden handles. Those things get HOT without an insulated handle.
