Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Burger Press, Heavy Duty Burger Smasher for Griddle with Heat Resistant Handle, Grill Press for Hamburger, Bacon, Meat, Steak, Patty, Sandwich, Barbecue Grilling Tool

If He-Man and the Masters of the Universe had a BBQ episode, this is the bit of kit Prince Adam would’ve whipped out before transforming—because this thing turns you from mild-mannered home cook into full-blown Grill-Skull. Let’s be clear: the HULISEN Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Burger Press is not some flimsy, bendy bit of kitchen tat. This is proper, old-school, “they-don’t-make-it-like-they-used-to” gear. Think less modern gadget, more something Lion-O would use to flatten burgers on Third Earth. The Good Stuff (and there’s plenty): First off—it’s BIG. Not comically oversized, but satisfyingly substantial. When you press down on a burger, it doesn’t politely suggest flattening—it commands it. Like a headmaster from a 1980s comprehensive. The weight is spot on. That heavy-duty cast iron does exactly what you want: presses out excess grease, speeds up cooking, and gives you that proper crispy-edged smash burger. The kind you’d struggle to get unless you owned a roadside diner in 1987. Now, the real genius move: the handle. A soft, heat-resistant grip that means you’re not doing the “hot potato” dance halfway through cooking. No burnt fingers, no panic—just controlled, confident pressing. It’s the difference between amateur hour and feeling like you’re hosting your own episode of The A-Team—minus the explosions (unless you overdo the gas hob). It’s also versatile. Burgers, bacon, steak, sandwiches—if it needs flattening or searing, this thing’s up for it. It turns your hob or griddle into something approaching a proper American-style grill setup. In a nutshell: This isn’t just a burger press—it’s a midlife-upgrade tool. The kind of thing you buy thinking “that’ll do,” and end up showing off like you’ve just installed a new V8 engine in the shed. Solid, reliable, easy to clean, and built like it’ll outlast your interest in kale smoothies. Final verdict: A proper bit of kit. If you like your burgers crispy, your bacon flat, and your kitchen gadgets built like they belong in the 80s golden age—this is an absolute no-brainer.

Amazing. Does its job perfectly as a press and weight. Made these amazing patties. Somethibg to be aware of, the strust of the handles (connecting the rubberised grip tovthe base) is also cast iron and gets very hot. I found the grip to be very useable and does not get very hot. It is very easy to use and if you preheat it in the pan it can even begin cooking the burger before you flip it, driving out moisture and giving that amazing sear once flipped I would say that alone makes the cast iron worth the price. I had very few issues with the burger being pushed out of the sides of the press and could put most of my weight on the press with no issues due to the good size of the press. Cleaning is a bit of a pain as you have to reach under the handle which you cant do safely whilst it is hot and cooling cast iron wuickly can damage it so I highly suggest simply wiping off any oil and allowing it to cool before cleaning. Also ensure to clean the name and dry properly as it will get rusty if you dont.

I didn't fully appreciate how much I was missing until I used this for the first time. Smash burgers are a completely different animal to a regular burger — thinner, crispier edges, better caramelisation, more flavour in every bite — and this press is the reason why. The pre-seasoned cast iron is the key detail here. It gets screaming hot, holds that heat evenly across the surface, and gives you that proper crust on the patty that you just cannot achieve any other way. First use straight out of the box and the results were genuinely restaurant-quality. It's also satisfyingly hefty. You feel the weight when you press down and you know it's doing the job properly. Clean-up is straightforward as long as you treat it like cast iron should be treated — wipe down while warm, light oil, done. If you've ever tried to make smash burgers and wondered why they don't quite hit the same as the ones you get out — this is why, and this is the fix. Absolutely essential bit of kit.

THIS ITEM SEEMED THE BETTER QUALITY ITEM COMPARED TO THE REST. THIS SEEMS SOLID AND WELL MADE.

The Build quality for this is perfect and sturdy, it is a perfect fit for the skillet that I use and requires a simple rinse after use which makes it easy to clean. Excellent value for money as it is the perfect weight that gives me the best outcome when cooking my steaks

Good product, this: it’s heavy so you don’t need too much pressure on the patty; the handle doesn’t get hot so that’s safe, and it’s easy enough to clean and season. There are inevitable splashes of fat on your arm, and It can retain a little fat over the course of your culinary journey, but you are frying beef on a pan, and don’t we all retain fat doing that?

Rusts after first wash and continues to get worse. (I've scrubbed the press in the photo and it's still this bad) It also smells of rusty metal. Returning asap.

Made smash burgers with it, used parchment paper, no issues at all. If you want to smash, I'd recommend this.

This burger press works great and doesn’t stick! It is quite heavy and makes smash burgers perfectly!

Great item, easy to clean, absolutely gonna be a forever product in the kitchen. Outstanding value,yes it's easy to clean. It was seasoned when I got it ready to use, of course it's black it's cast iron, the (color) it's suppose to be. Well built with a good heat protective handle so to prevent anyone from burning they're hand while using it.

My husband loved these!

This bacon press is the right size for my skillet. I don't like it when the ends curl up and don't really get cooked through, so using this press is awesome. It has a smooth bottom so it's easy to clean, does not stick to the bacon. It is not heavy so it is easy to find a place in which to put it, and the quality is apparent. Very nice.

Works great.
