Ukko Smasher Steak Press
Make the world’s best smash burgers on the grill or in a cast iron pan. Ukko Smasher is a masterpiece of Finnish turners. The hamburger press is made by turning and welding 100% food-grade steel (AISI304). The product is dishwasher safe. The steel Ukko Smasher has a total weight of 1.3 kg, and its turned solid steel handle (390gr) ensures a firm grip and does not heat up in use. The perfect result is guaranteed by the smooth ground bottom part of the press (700gr), which is welded to the handle by hand. The sturdy bottom disc smashes the steak meat reliably and makes a perfect smash burger. The disc diameter is 120mm and the thickness is a solid 8mm.
The Ukko Smasher makes smashing burgers easy and efficient. It creates a crispy surface that highlights the deep flavor of the Maillard reaction.
Steak press for Maillard reaction taste pleasures
The secret to the delicious taste and color of fried food is the Maillard reaction. The Maillard reaction begins when the sugars and proteins on the surface of the meat being fried meet under high heat. This is exactly what steak smashing is all about. When you flatten the steak against the pan with the Ukko Smasher, you get a generous crispy frying surface.
