Radicaln Burger Press Rectangle 9" x 4.25" Inches Iron Grill Press with Wooden Handle - Heavy Duty Pre Seasoned - Meat Press, Sandwich & Bacon Press - Burger Press Patty Maker for Kitchen

A really good steak press but alas too big for my two large (Lodge 10.5 inches square and same company Lodge 10.25 round) cast iron griddle pans, so be VERY AWARE BEFORE YOU BUY THAT IT'LL FIT IN YOUR FRY OR GRIDDLE PANS It'll work great on bar b cue though so I'll keep it and order the round version of this steak press that should fit my pans no problem.p.s i wash new cast iron then immediately put it on a low/medium hob heat to dry no use of towels or anything else,as soon as they dry turn off the hob let then cool for around 2 hours then rub any oil with a high smoke point into the pan or steak weight with your fingers (I use rapeseed or groundnut oil } never had any rust problems on my hand me downs decades old pans ,hope this helps .

Picked this up for pan frying steak, which I haven't quite got the hang of yet, but this has been great for bacon and burgers. Smashed burgers especially - genuinely crisp and evenly spread patties every time. Will go straight on the hob and ready to use with a wipe of oil, it's easy to burn yourself but with practice not too dangerous. Babish would be proud.

I bought this on the recommendation from a friend for cooking steak. It helps to keep a consistent and tight contact of the meat to the pan and helps develop a crust quickly without overcooking the interior of the meat. Works just as well on burgers too - but take care that your meat has width to it.. so small a burger means that you're balancing, rather than pressing and that will give uneven results.The downsides? The handle get hot at the ends, as you'd expect - you can fix this with a silicone oven mitt though. At this price you're looking at practicality over innovation.

Very bulky but effective

A really well made product that helps food cook well and quicker, tend to use it more on my 18oz steaks to get a nice finish out side and still fresh in the centre.

Much bigger than I thought (but that's my fault).. does the job, very sturdy and weighty.

Very sturdy product, well made.

Very sturdy and solid. Easy to use and clean. Item is heavy, but that's the purpose of it so no complaints here. Perfect for homemade burgers, paninis on the grill pan etc. We love it and it will get lots of use. Your pan needs to be have at least 24" of space for this press to work. I recommend thoroughly dry press after washing, to prevent rusting on the upper surface. This is cosmetic, the bottom surface remains perfect.
