Cast Iron Smash Burger Press (2PCS),Grill Bacon Meat Press Tool,Perfect for Blackstone, Camp Chef, Weber Grills & Indoor Griddles – BBQ & Cookout Must-Have (Round & Rectangle -Grooved)

Yes, because they are made of raw cast iron, you should season them just like a cast-iron skillet. This process creates a natural non-stick surface and helps prevent rust over time.

These presses are designed for versatility and work perfectly on both indoor stovetops and outdoor grills. They are compatible with griddles, cast iron skillets, and gas grill surfaces.

While the manufacturer indicates they are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing and drying them immediately to maintain the seasoning and prevent rust. Cast iron performs best when kept away from harsh dishwasher detergents.

The round press is ideal for perfectly shaped smash burgers, while the rectangular shape is better suited for bacon, paninis, or searing larger cuts of meat like steaks and chicken breasts.

The handle is designed for a comfortable, secure grip, but because it is attached to a heavy-duty cast iron base, it can conduct heat during prolonged use. We recommend using a kitchen towel or oven mitt when handling the press after it has been sitting on a hot surface.

The grooved design helps create those classic, professional-looking sear marks on your food. It also helps channel away excess grease, resulting in a crispier finish for bacon and burgers.
