Know before you buy
No, the Outset Burger Smasher does not require seasoning. Because it is made from stainless steel rather than cast iron, it is ready to use immediately out of the box.
While designed with outdoor grilling in mind, the stainless steel construction is heat-resistant and can be used on a stovetop. Just ensure your pan is large enough to accommodate the 6-inch square base.
The weight of the press allows you to flatten the patty, which forces excess grease out of the meat while it cooks. This results in a leaner burger with a crispier, seared exterior.
The handle is made of stainless steel, which will conduct heat over time if left directly over a flame. We recommend using a grill glove or mitt when handling the press during extended cooking sessions.
Yes, the entire unit is dishwasher safe. Its stainless steel construction is durable enough to withstand high-heat wash cycles without warping or degrading.
