OVERMONT Round 7" Cast-Iron Smash Burger Press with Flat Base and Wood Handle

For smash burgers on a flat-top griddle, a broad, flat press helps turn a ball of ground meat into a thinner patty with more contact against the hot cooking surface. The OVERMONT Round press brings that smooth pressing surface to home cooking and outdoor barbecues.

Its 7-inch cast-iron base is fully flat, so pressure spreads across the patty rather than following raised ridges. That makes it a practical choice for cooks aiming for evenly pressed burgers and browned, crisp edges.

A burger-focused tool can also earn its place beyond burger night. Use this press for bacon, sandwiches, chicken, steaks, paninis or sausages on suitable cooking surfaces.

What it works with

Use the press on flat-top griddles, cast-iron skillets, frying pans, grills, hibachi grills and teppanyaki cooking surfaces. It’s suited to indoor meal prep as well as backyard BBQs and camping trips where one of these cooking surfaces is available. The smooth base is useful when you want broad contact for a smash-style patty, for cooks who prefer a ridged press, the surface design offers a different approach, without grooves across the meat-contact area.

Beyond burgers, the same press can help keep bacon flatter as it cooks or apply pressure to sandwiches, steaks, chicken, paninis and sausages. That range makes it handy when you want one straightforward press for several griddle or pan tasks, rather than a tool dedicated only to shaping patties. The natural wood handle is shaped for a comfortable grip and attached to the cast-iron base with two screws for steady handling while pressing.

Getting the most from it

The press arrives pre-seasoned and ready to use. For smash burgers, place the included round patty paper between the meat and the press to help prevent sticking and make release easier. Press the patty against the cooking surface to create a thinner shape with even contact, supporting browning across the surface and crisp edges. The flat base also gives you a useful way to press bacon or other foods that benefit from staying flatter during cooking.

After cooking, hand-wash the cast iron, dry it thoroughly and apply a thin layer of cooking oil before storage. This simple care routine helps protect the seasoned surface. The wooden handle gives you a distinct grip point above the hot cooking surface, while the press’s weight provides steady downward pressure as you work. It makes sense if you want a pre-seasoned cast-iron press for smash burgers that can also handle common griddle and skillet jobs.

Should you buy it?

Choose the OVERMONT Round if your cooking routine calls for a smooth, wide press for thin smash burgers, bacon and other foods on a griddle, skillet or grill.

It’s a practical fit for anyone looking to make smash-style burgers at home and keep a versatile press close by for other meals.
