Pisol Smash Burger Press 6.6” cast iron 🍳
Description:
This pre-seasoned cast iron burger press makes it easier to get a crispy sear and consistent thickness on smashed burgers for backyard grills and home kitchens. If you are aiming for a crunchy crust and quick cooking times, this 6.6-inch tool helps form even patties while pressing out excess fat for better browning and texture.
Key Points
The press is made from heavy-duty cast iron that weighs about 2 lb, giving it enough mass to press firmly and produce a proper smash on contact with a hot griddle. The flat base promotes uniform thickness and helps prevent bacon from curling while cooking, which keeps contact with the cooking surface and improves heat transfer. A natural wood handle stays cooler to the touch and offers an ergonomic grip for repeated presses during a grilling session. 🍔 The unit arrives pre-seasoned, so it has a built-in cooking surface that improves with use and routine maintenance according to the manufacturer.
Technical Specifications

- Weight: 2 lb
- Diameter: 6.6 inches

Benefits
The mass and flat profile deliver a quick, intense sear that helps build a flavorful crust while keeping the interior juicy when used correctly. Because the press is pre-seasoned, it resists sticking more readily than unseasoned iron at first, and the seasoning will improve after repeated cooking and light oiling. Cleanup is straightforward if the residue is wiped and dried immediately; avoid soaking to protect the seasoning and the wooden handle. 🥓
Usage Recommendations
Heat the griddle or pan until very hot before pressing to maximize browning and minimize sticking. Press firmly for a short duration, then lift to finish cooking without compressing the patty for too long. Consider using a piece of parchment or a light oil film when dealing with leaner mixes to prevent sticking. Note that while cast iron holds heat well and is durable, it requires occasional seasoning maintenance and should be dried thoroughly to prevent rust according to the manufacturer.
