If you want to make average burgers, any tool will do. But if you're chasing crispy, caramelised perfection - the kind of burgers that stop conversations mid-sentence - you need to get serious.
You need a burger smasher built to dominate. One forged for fire, engineered for flavour, and made for those who don’t mess about when it comes to exceptional patties that demand respect.
Engineered for Pure Burger Glory
The Obsidian Burger Smasher range isn't just heavy-duty - it’s heavy. Designed to use its own weight to do the work, it flattens patties fast and locks in that iconic Maillard crust.
Hand-built from a solid plate of 304 grade steel, it’s CNC-profiled, precision-machined, and finished by hand. This is craftsmanship you can feel every time it hits the griddle.
Why These Are the Best Burger Smashers?
The weight and robust construction are designed to maximise the Maillard reaction, a process where proteins on the surface of meat are caramelised, forming a savoury and flavourful crust. Both models are designed to product outstanding smash burgers every time.
Let the weight do the work - Choose from 1.5kg to 4.2kg of steel engineered to bring serious smash power.
Premium materials - Made from solid 304 high-grade stainless steel.
Made for meat - Big enough for double burgers, bacon, steaks, or even sourdough toasties. It’s an all-in-one press come flattener where the only restriction is your imagination.
No flex, no nonsense - The fixed handle won’t budge, giving you total control.
Rustic, raw, real - Every Obsidian smasher is made from 304 grade stainless steel and is dishwasher safe.
UK craftsmanship - Designed & made by Leviathan Pits.
