Outset Cast Iron Round Grill Press solves the most common high-heat problem on grills and griddles: uneven contact. When burgers cook patchy, bacon curls, or steaks miss that defined crust, it is usually because pressure and heat are not staying consistent across the surface.
With a solid 3-pound cast iron build and a grooved round face, this press helps you lock in better contact for more even cooking, stronger browning, and restaurant-style grill marks. It also works great for smashburger-style results on flat tops and cast iron cooktops.

Is the Outset Cast Iron Round Grill Press good for smashburgers?
Yes. The 3-pound weight helps you get fast browning and crisp edges on flat-top griddles or cast iron cooking surfaces.
Can this be used on a griddle or stovetop?
Absolutely. It works well on flat-top griddles, cast iron skillets, gas grills, and charcoal grills.
Does the wooden handle get hot?
The wooden handle is designed to stay cooler than metal handles, but a grill glove is still a good idea during extended high-heat cooks.
How should I clean and care for it?
Hand wash with warm water, dry thoroughly, then apply a thin layer of oil before storing to help prevent rust and keep performance consistent.
Will the grooves affect smashburger crust?
The grooves are designed to create grill marks. On a flat top, you will still get great browning and crisp edges, especially when you press once and hold.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
