Review on Farberware 5275229 Barbecue Double Burger by Jenna Perez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

2 lb 11.5 oz cast iron, ready to keep your hamburgers pressed

What can I say? This is a burger press. Such presses are outdated. There's a reason they still make them and that's because they do their job. If you like flatter burgers and fewer meatballs, you either need to make them very thin to begin with, or you can use a hamburger press. You can now find hamburger presses in both stainless steel and golden cast iron. Stainless steel is easier to care for (dishwasher safe), but cast iron burger presses tend to be a lot heavier, meaning you'll be putting the press on the meat and doing other things while it keeps doing its job. I like it. This press weighs 2 lbs 11.5 oz. It's about 7 inches wide - enough for most burgers and probably enough for other meats like small steaks. The press easily fits a 10" pan (see photo). The working side of the press is grated, giving you aesthetically pleasing grill marks when used. I have owned several hamburger presses over the years. This good. And if you take good care of it (wipe it down after use and then dry it until it rusts) it should last for years, maybe a lifetime. Fair price for a good item.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Worries me
