Know before you buy
Cast iron is dense and heavy, which provides the necessary weight to flatten food for even contact with the griddle surface. It also retains heat exceptionally well, helping to sear the top of your food while the bottom cooks.
Yes, because it is made of raw cast iron, it should be seasoned regularly to prevent rust and maintain a non-stick surface. Applying a thin layer of oil after cleaning will keep it in top condition.
No, this press is not dishwasher safe. You should hand wash it with warm water and dry it immediately to prevent rust, as the harsh detergents and moisture in a dishwasher will damage the cast iron.
The handle is integrated into the cast iron design, meaning it will get hot during use. You should always use a heat-resistant glove or mitt when handling the press while cooking.
Using a press ensures maximum contact between the meat and the hot griddle, which creates a superior, uniform crust known as the Maillard reaction. It also helps cook the burger more quickly and evenly throughout.
