The construction is fine- it's cast iron- but if you're looking for a nice flat smash burger, this isn't for you. There's about a 1/4" lip around the edge of the entire press, so when you press down, the surface is actually elevated above the burger. Given that most people would use this for smash burgers, I'm not sure why the surface of the press isn't flush- or flat.

The Lodge cast iron burger press is super easy to use and clean. It is pre-seasoned. I don't make a burger now without it. I shape the ground meat into a meatball, place it on a sizzling hot grill, and then press down on the Lodge burger press. The height of the edge around the burger press ensures a perfect smash burger every time. Flip burger just once when the down side is charred at edges. Top with thick slice cheese if you want. It melts right over the burger while second side cooks. The price is excellent for Lodge - top quality. The Lodge burger press is so easy to use, I don't make regular burgers anymore. Smash burgers are crave worthy scrumptious with yummy charred edges.

I use this all the time. I did season it again so the bacon is less likely to stick to it when you pick it up. Think I'll go make some bacon and eggs right now !

I got this because I discovered that bigger is not always better. The big, square Blackstone press is honestly just too awkward to use for smash burgers, so I grabbed this one. It's super easy to use and to clean - all one piece, so grease doesn't hide where a handle is joined. One thing I did not realize until I got it is that the flat part is actually recessed slightly. I wasn't sure how I felt about this at first, but I like it now that I've discovered that it keeps the meat at just enough thickness for a more tender inside while the outside crisps. Also, that little lip helps to contain the grease splatters when you press enough to make it contact the griddle surface. This is my new go-to griddle tool for anything smashable.

Excellent material. Very solid. Top notch quality. My gripe is that there’s a lip on the underside that prevents the press from pushing the meat completely flat. It’s just a dumb design idea in my opinion.

Great quality appliance with amazing durability. It is easy to clean and oil after use. We used it to create smash burgers.

This is definitely a 5-star product, but it does not work well for making classic smash burgers due to the rim on the bottom of the press that makes getting the classic thin burger edges impossible. You'll need a completely flat-bottom press for that (Lodge makes those too!) But...for a classic burger press, this is fantastic. Take a 1/3 pound ball of ground beef, cover with a square of parchment paper and press it into a PERFECT burger! 90 seconds on a hot cast iron griddle, flip and cook for another 60 seconds, and it's ready for a toasted brioche bun, a good portion of Boursin cheese and a heap of grilled onions. Dang, I'm getting hungry just writing this review!

Although sturdy and good for convention burger pressing, you're not going to get any true smash burgers out of this. The bottom has a lip, rather than being completely flat. This is evidenced by the pictures, so that's on me.

For what these are used for you can always use another one. Makes life a little easier and cooking a little quicker.
