Bigfoot Burger Smasher 8in Professional Grade Burger Press - Heavy

In this review the Bigfoot Burger Smasher is judged on build, performance and everyday usefulness for anyone serious about smash burgers or using a heavy grill press. The bottom line: this is a purposely heavy, well-made stainless steel press that delivers consistent thin, crispy burger edges and a reliable sear on flat top grills and skillets. If you want simple mechanical advantage and easy cleanup, the Bigfoot's 3+ pound welded construction and smooth bottom make smashing, twisting and lifting straightforward and repeatable.

Key Features

• 3+ pounds of welded stainless steel: Provides steady, amplified smashing force so patties flatten quickly and sear evenly for crisp edges.
• 8 in monster width: Covers a large burger surface and still fits inside a 10 in pan, making it useful on skillets and many flat top griddles.
• Wide flat nonslip handle: Gives comfortable leverage for repeated presses and a secure grip while twisting to separate meat from the press.
• Smooth bottom surface: Acts naturally stick-resistant so burgers release cleanly after smashing without scraping the patty.
• Dishwasher-safe cleanup: Welded stainless construction enables quick cleaning and low maintenance after heavy use.
• American-designed: Designed in Nashville, TN, which may appeal to buyers who prefer U.S.-designed grilling tools.

Who It's For

The Bigfoot Burger Smasher is best for home cooks and grill enthusiasts who make frequent smash burgers, use a Blackstone or other flat top griddle, or need a heavy steak or bacon press. Its weight and 8 in diameter suit anyone who wants professional-style smashed patties with crisped edges and an even sear across the whole surface.

It is less ideal for those who only occasionally cook thin patties or who need a lightweight travel tool; the 3+ pound stainless body is purposeful but adds bulk. If you need something small for single-serving sandwiches or delicate breads, consider a lighter, smaller press.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Substantial heft that makes smashing easy and consistent on skillets and griddles.
• Wide 8 in contact area produces large, evenly seared patties and works in a 10 in pan.
• Welded stainless construction and smooth bottom are durable and easy to clean in a dishwasher.
• Ergonomic flat handle amplifies force while remaining comfortable for repeated presses.

Cons

• At 3+ pounds the press is heavy to store and handle, which may be overkill for very occasional cooks.
