You can make a smash burger for less than half the cost of

Same goes for chicken nuggets - so???

 
I've been trying to make a smash burger but that's been elusive
so I'm looking for some new tools: a flat iron weight to flatten
the burger and a thin metal spring steel spatula. I'm also going
to have to cook these burgers on a carbon steel pan because the
burgers have to be scraped off the pan. Smash burgers are
actually a new way to cook a hamburger. A properly made one is
just a scrumptious, sensual, experience.

 
2 cast iron pans, 1 smaller.
 
Heat both pans.  They will retain heat so will cook both sides at
once.
 
Put meat in larger one and smash with other pan.
 

 
That would leave a mess on 2 pans, pretty inefficient when one of
these costs so little:

Hardly a rinse and done.  I have way too many gadgets that are single
purpose to bother with that.  I just use what I already have.
