Title: Great for smash burgers
Review: I love a good smash burger and this works well. Good quality cast iron, nice handle, reasonably easy to clean - it has a lip so if you have burger stuck in there, you may have to apply a little extra pressure than just wiping - like all Lodge, a good product.

Title: This thing is heavy! And thatâs why I like it!!!
Review: This review is for the 7.5â grill press.You need to accept that this is heavier than most other grill presses, even at this size. That weight comes in very handy when youâre trying to sear a steak, or when cooking a large package of bacon. Itâs also great when youâre cooking sandwiches or making paninis, because you can easily get 1 - 2 underneath. Mexican food? Yep.For a single burger, itâs a bit overkill, but it definitely does the job well. I wouldnât 2 at the same time for smashburgers, and you want to space out the patties due to the size of this thing.Now people will ask, âdoes it stick?â. It can, but that can happen with any press regardless of what itâs made of (donât believe the marketing hype of some of the other brands). Youâll quickly learn that all you need to do is to put the press on the grill or griddle for about 2 minutes for the surface to heat up a bit and youâre good.âHow hard do you need to press?â Not very. Thatâs the point of why this thing weighs close to 5lbs.Cleaning is a breeze. Sponge and water. One of those chainmail cleaners if things get gnarly.Yes, this is seasoned. And yes, you will see a spot where it looks like itâs worn or maybe even a little reddish. Thatâs normal and itâs from the manufacturing process. Nothing wrong with the press, and you can clean and season that spot as part of your normal maintenance.When it comes time to season it, wear a pair of disposable gloves (optional) and/or a rag or towel you donât mind getting covered in oil. Just apply whatever seasoning oil you prefer and coat the thing. Once youâre done place it on a baking pan in the oven and heat at 375 for about an hour. I donât recommend using paper towels due to them tending to leave remnants while applying oil.Last comment/question I hear a lot of is âdoes it get too hot to hold?â. Itâs metal, so depending on the heat source and how long you leave it in contact, yes the handle can get toasty (welcome to the principle of thermal conductivity). In normal use, youâre not going to have a problem. Itâs a LOT of metal to heat up, and those springs on the handle keep you from directly touching the handle. In normal use, it might get a little warm, but youâll never have an issue.Thatâs my not-so-short review. Hope it helps! Iâve found this to be a great addition to my kitchen, both indoors and out.One last bit of advice - donât use this with any kind of non-stick griddle or pan. This thing is cast iron and it will scratch the heck out of the non-stick surface.

Title: THE BEST Burger Press for SMASH BURGERS!!
Review: The Lodge cast iron burger press is super easy to use and clean. It is pre-seasoned. I don't make a burger now without it. I shape the ground meat into a meatball, place it on a sizzling hot grill, and then press down on the Lodge burger press. The height of the edge around the burger press ensures a perfect smash burger every time. Flip burger just once when the down side is charred at edges. Top with thick slice cheese if you want. It melts right over the burger while second side cooks. The price is excellent for Lodge - top quality. The Lodge burger press is so easy to use, I don't make regular burgers anymore. Smash burgers are crave worthy scrumptious with yummy charred edges.

Title: Works well
Review: This is a great weight and works well. It fits in my air fryer. I have discovered it is wise to use a piece of parchment over the burger, so the food does not stick to the cast iron. If you do this, you can just wipe and re season with oil .

Title: LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE KILLED THE 5 STARS
Review: I admit I read the other reviews where they stated the problem with the screws, but I trusted that a company that has been around so long would want to take care of a problem like that quickly I risked it and placed my order. I was so wrong! The item is beautiful, nice weight, nice materials, nice overall product except the screw problem, I tried putting it together and as I had read, the screws were too long and caused the handle to be completely loose. I received the item on 12/24 and when I called them they were closed and would not reopen until the 26th. I left a message and on the 26th I got a called from a very nice lady, I explained the problem and she said she would send me the replacement hardware. I got it on 12/31, and to my shock they were the exact same screws that I had received with my package. Again I called and again they were closed until 01/02, again I left a message, this time when they called back I was not at home, it was a man, he left a message which I returned a few hours later, although they were open when I called back all I got was the operator and a voice mail, I AGAIN left a message and I am still waiting for a return call. I kept the item because I have a very intelligent 17 year old who while I was getting ready to return the item asked me if he could try something. The "hardware" is made up of 2 screws, 2 metal washers, and 2 nuts. He put in the original screws, but instead of using 1 metal washer for each screw he placed the original washer plus the washer that came in the replacement hardware, and it worked!!! The second washer took up the extra space on the screw and he was able to tighten it all the way and the handle is nice and tight and the press is now usable! So if your press happens to come with the wrong screws, call the company and have them send you a new set of hardware and even if they don't send the correct screws, you will still be able to repair your press. I do recoment the item, I just can't give them 5 stars because of their lack of customer service.

Title: Simple, does the job
Review: I was looking for a simple burger press. My checklist was: no groves to clean, had to be cast iron so it had some weight to it, I didnât want a different material for the handle, and not too pricey. This checked all the boxes and works well. Some of the first couple of times I used it, the burgers did stick, but as time goes on and it becomes more seasoned, I donât see that continuing to be an issue.

Review: I use this press with my square, ribbed cast Logic pan in the oven together. I generally heat each piece up to 500 F then place salmon, hamburgers, chicken in the pan, lay on the press and the cooking is done almost instantly. Place back in the oven for a few mins if required. The effect is beautifully grilled and lined food. Amazes people when I show this trick.

Review: Profissionalmente ou por hobby, utensÃlio essencial e de ótima qualidade pra fazer hamburguer artesanal. Mas ATENÃÃO: ele tem uma borda que deixa a superfÃcie de contato com o hamburguer a 1 cm da chapa... então, Sà SERVE PARA PRENSAR HAMBURGUERES COM PELO MENOS 1,5 CM DE ALTURA (menos que isso, sequer encostará na carne). Como é de ferro fundido, importante lavar a cada uso, secar rapidamente ao fogo, e após, untar levemente com um pouco de óleo de cozinha ou azeite antes de guardar (senão enferruja). Recomendo, com certeza!
