This time of year, it’s that time of the year when you want a really good burger. If you’ve traveled to the West Coast, you’re probably familiar with the burger chain In-N-Out. They’re famous for their smash burger, and for good reason. Smash burgers are flavorful (and maybe even addictive) because the smash increases the surface area that comes into contact with the griddle, creating a crunchy, caramelized, mouthwatering crust. What’s the best way to create that crust at home? With the #1 bestselling Cuisinart Smashed Burger Press. For just $17, you (or your dad this Father’s Day) can make burger history.

All you need to create burger heaven is a cast iron skillet or griddle, this burger press, parchment paper, and seasoned ground beef. And you’re ready to go! Form loosely packed balls of meat, place the parchment paper on top of the meat, and slam it down on a hot griddle with the burger press. You’ll get crispy edges and juicy centers every time.

Shoppers have made it a #1 bestseller, and over 11,000 Amazon reviewers have given the Burger Press a five-star rating, so don’t just take my word for it.
“You can’t make a smashburger with a spatula,” explained one satisfied customer. “This is a game changer.”
“This little tool helps my grill/griddle master husband make the best smashburgers!” says one doting spouse.
Another raving reviewer commented on the tool’s ease of use and amazing versatility: “It’s extremely durable and super easy to clean up when you’re done with it. I have no choice but to keep using it now and wish I had bought it a long time ago. It’s great for bacon (covers the whole strip), burgers, sausage patties, chicken breasts, and even pork chops.”
This five-star fan sums it up: “This is the perfect burger press. Just perfect. Perfectly flat bottom, no edges. I bought another one with edges and it didn’t help me make smash burgers. Model CISB-111. Keep smashing, burger lovers!”
