MAKE PROPER SMASH BURGERS AT HOME
BUILT FOR THIN PATTIES, CRISPY EDGES AND JUICY RESULTS
The GymPin Burger Patty Press is built for serious smash burger lovers who want better control, better searing and more consistent results every time they cook.
Simply place your burger ball onto a hot flat-top, pan or griddle, then press down firmly using the heavy-duty stainless steel body and secure knurled handle. The 5-inch circular pressing face helps spread the meat evenly, creating a thinner patty with maximum contact against the cooking surface.
That direct heat contact is what gives smash burgers their signature crust: crisp, deeply seared edges with a juicy, flavour-packed centre.
Weighing 1kg, the GymPin Burger Patty Press gives you the right balance of weight and control without needing to force the press or overwork the meat. It feels solid in the hand, stable on the griddle and precise with every press.
HOW TO GET THE PERFECT SMASH BURGER
1
START HOT
Preheat your pan, griddle or flat-top until it is seriously hot. A hot surface is essential for getting that fast sear, crispy crust and proper smash burger flavour.
2
PRESS FIRM
Place a loose ball of minced beef onto the hot surface, then press down firmly with the GymPin Burger Patty Press. Hold for a few seconds to create a thin, even patty with maximum contact.
3
SEAR & SERVE
Let the patty cook without moving it until the edges are crisp and deeply browned. Flip once, add cheese, then build your burger while it is still juicy, hot and ridiculous in the best possible way.
Product Information
The GymPin Burger Patty Press is designed to help you make proper smash burgers at home, on the BBQ, or in a commercial kitchen setup.
Instead of shaping thick burger patties by hand, the press helps you flatten loose beef balls directly onto a hot griddle, cast iron pan or flat-top. This creates a thin, even patty with maximum contact against the cooking surface.
That direct contact is what gives a smash burger its signature crispy crust, browned edges and juicy centre.
Made from food-grade stainless steel with a 5-inch circular pressing face and secure knurled handle, the GymPin Burger Patty Press gives you the weight, control and consistency needed for better burgers every time.
The GymPin Burger Patty Press is for anyone who wants to make better smash burgers with more control, consistency and proper seared flavour.
It is ideal for home cooks, BBQ enthusiasts, burger lovers, meal prep kitchens, food trucks, pop-ups and commercial kitchen setups that need a reliable stainless steel burger press.
If you want thin patties, crispy edges, better surface contact and restaurant-style smash burgers at home, this press gives you the weight and grip needed to get it right.
It is also a great choice for anyone tired of uneven hand-shaped patties, weak crusts and burgers that look like they gave up halfway through cooking.
GymPin has always been about strong, well-made tools built for people who care about performance. The Burger Patty Press brings that same thinking into the kitchen.
Protein is part of the lifestyle, and a great smash burger is one of the best ways to enjoy it. With our design experience and manufacturing standards, we knew we could create a stainless steel burger press that felt stronger, cleaner and more precise than the usual lightweight options.
The result is a 1kg food-grade stainless steel smash burger press with a knurled handle, 5-inch pressing face and the solid feel you expect from GymPin.
It may be a niche product, but it is built for serious burger lovers, home cooks, BBQ setups, food trucks and restaurants that want consistent, restaurant-quality smash burgers.
The secret to the perfect smash burger is simple: hot surface, loose beef, firm pressure and no messing about once it hits the griddle.
For best results, use good-quality beef mince with a higher fat content. Around 80/20 beef mince is ideal, giving you enough fat for flavour, juiciness and a crisp seared crust.
Ingredients
- 500g beef mince, ideally 80/20
- Salt and black pepper
- 4 burger buns
- 4 slices of cheese
- Burger sauce, pickles, onions or toppings of your choice
- A little oil or beef fat for the cooking surface
Method
Preheat your griddle, cast iron pan, flat-top or BBQ plate until it is very hot. A properly heated surface is essential for creating the crispy edges and deep sear that make smash burgers so good.
Divide the beef mince into loose balls. Do not compress them too tightly, because a loose beef ball smashes better and helps create a better texture.
Place each beef ball onto the hot cooking surface, then press down firmly with the GymPin Burger Patty Press for a few seconds. The aim is to create a thin, even patty with maximum contact against the heat.
Season with salt and pepper after smashing. Let the patty cook without moving it until the edges are browned, crisp and deeply seared.
Flip once, add cheese, and cook briefly on the second side until the cheese melts and the burger stays juicy in the centre.
Serve in a toasted bun with your favourite sauce, pickles, onions or toppings. Keep it simple, let the crust do the talking, and try not to overcomplicate a burger, humanity’s rare edible success story.
Pro Tip
For the best smash burger crust, press once and leave it alone. Moving the patty too early stops the crust from forming properly.
