Our Review
Smash burgers need a big, flat, ripping-hot surface, and the Made In Carbon Steel Griddle gives you restaurant-style flat-top cooking without buying an outdoor propane griddle. It sits across two burners on the stove, goes straight onto a gas or charcoal grill, and is compatible with induction.
Why it's great for burgers
- Room for a full batch. Cook several smash patties and toast buns at the same time.
- Handles serious heat. Carbon steel can take the very high heat a proper smash burger crust needs.
- Lighter than cast iron. Similar heat retention to cast iron, but easier to move from stove to grill.
- Gets better with use. Like cast iron, it builds a naturally non-stick seasoning over time.
What to know
Carbon steel is hand-wash only and needs to be dried and lightly oiled after cleaning. Check that it fits your stovetop before buying, especially if you have a smaller range.
Put it to work with our Ultimate Smash Burger or Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger.
