UNCOCast Iron Grill Press, 8.5 x 4.1 Inch, 2.6 lbs, Burger Press for Griddle, Sandwich Press, Bacon Press for Griddle, Griddle Press, Meat Press Cast Iron, Hamburger Press for Griddle

Item is perfect for creating smash burgers. I would recommend.

If you decide on a Lodge cast iron griddle, which I highly recommend, be sure to get one of these.I use to keep bacon from curling..

The finish on the wood handles has sharp edges, and corners on the ends of the handles; which may produce splinters in time. I sanded them down a bit. Otherwise outstanding quality. would buy again. I don't ask that the Mfr. do anything that would drive up the price.

It is heavy, great quality, it will last a lifetime. Be sure to season it when you receive it.

This works wonderfully to keep bacon flattened on a griddle. Bacon cooks evenly and quickly

I gave this five stars because it does work well in cooking on the stove by making food look like it was cooked on the grill when complete. It also cooks meat faster with less flipping of meat when you press it down as it cooks. The handle stays cool, as it is wooden. The drawback is it is a pain to clean. Due to the ridges, food gets stuck along them, and I have to use a toothbrush to scrub. I also have a square chain cleaning thing (you can also buy this off Amazon), as you should never use any soap or Brillo on cast iron, not to mention, never place in dishwasher. Would recommend, but with a cleaning warning.

I originally bought this just to cook bacon. I showed it to my brother in law and he loved it. He uses it when ever he cooks any meat product. Steak, all sausages, when he fries meatloaf etc. When ever he is using it and I happen to walk into the kitchen he always says "I'm so glad you bought this! This is the best thing ever. I never would of thought buying this. It cooks everything perfectly. It gives the best sear on both sides.". I think it's one of his favorite toy.It may be cast iron but there is a finish on it so there is no problem with washing it. It won't rust.

Works great for hamburgers, grilled cheese sandwiches and more...
