Grill Fit tested: Press vs Griddle. Patty precision meets flavor We’ve long debated the merits of pressing versus griddling burgers, but the Burger Press Stainless Steel Hamburger Patty Maker Grill Griddle Flat has given us a definitive answer. Our tests revealed that this dual-function gadget excels in both heat distribution and uniformity. The thick stainless-steel base ensures even cooking, while the flat top creates perfectly shaped patties without losing juiciness. We loved how quickly it heats up and how easy it was to clean afterward, though we did notice minor sticking on initial use—patience solved this. The press function, in particular, won us over, producing burgers that cooked just as well as grilled ones, if not better. The only drawback? The high price point. Still, for those prioritizing consistency, this press hits all the right marks.
