Blackstone 5436 Culinar Series XL Griddle Press, Black

This fits my needs perfectly. I have two presses, one is smaller and I use that one for actually smashing burgers while on the other side of the griddle I use this press to hold down hotdogs or bacon. I can do a full package of dogs at once with this press. It would obviously work as a burger press as well if you don't already have one. Highly recommended.

Good smasher, nice size for doing multiple burgers or bacon. Handle is a bit loose even after trying to tighten the screw a bit, but not the end of the world. Definetely would reccomend using a sheet of wax paper between this and meat as your smashing as it gets chunks stuck on in-between the ribs fairly easy.

Ordered this for my husband for his new Blackstone Grill. He LOVES IT! This thing came and I was so impressed with the weightiness of it. You can defiantly be assured this will hold in place and squish down anything you might put under it. Has some ridges that might make it more complicated to clean, but so far no issues and we defiantly believe it to be a good value for the money. This griddle press gets 5 stars from me.

The griddle press is pre-seasoned … that’s good, it is a great size … perfect for 4 “standard” burger Pattie’s, and is certainly heavy duty enough for “smash burgers”. My only caution … the business surface is a textured grooved surface which is good for not sticking to items being cooked but a little difficult to quickly but throughly clean. All-in-all … it’s worth the expense, just don’t be surprised as by the textured cook surface, which, all-all isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

My first time on a blackstone griddle. I watched many u tube videos to cook smash burgers, they all used parchment paper between the meat and the spatula, but I have used this and no paper to bother with. Works perfect and easy to clean, so earned a 5 star rating
