This is the product I have been looking for.I was recently introduced to smash burgers and have been making them at home with my spatula. Although I really like my spatula, it doesn’t work very well for smashing.I have been researching tools for smashing including cast iron grill presses and $50 steak weights.I was reluctant to buy the Burger Iron thinking that it would be too small, but I realized that it should be large enough to make bun sized burgers.It is so simple. The weight is right and the handle is optimally placed to apply force. The smooth texture and the fact that it is dishwasher safe are bonuses.With a spatula, even a nice one, it is difficult to smash the burger evenly and you have to apply a fair amount of force to get it thin enough. Because of the location of the handle directly above the surface that is doing the smashing, it is very easy to get the burger thin enough and it ends up with a uniform thickness.I forgot to buy parchment paper and thought that I would have trouble with the burgers sticking. (I have had this problem in the past if I let my spatula get too hot on the grill.) However, sliding the burger iron off to the side like was mentioned in the reviews worked perfectly. I don’t think I will bother with parchment paper in the future.I made 2 oz burgers very similar in size to what you would get in a fast food restaurant and doubled or tripled them up. They were the best burgers I have ever made.
