I just mentioned that in another reply, Michael.  I have a cast iron
bacon press which would would work fine for smash burgers.  I don't use
it for bacon because I bake bacon but I do still have the old bacon press.

I also bake bacon, it's far less messy, and I can do the whole package
at once.  That's probably why I don't use the bacon press.  I cook it
soft, that way, I can keep the cooked slices in the fridge and they'll
crisp up nicely for a few minutes in a hot skillet, maybe with eggs,
when I'm ready for bacon.  Well now, that is, if the family doesn't
polish the bacon off same day before I can put it away.  :)

 We eat five slices every Sunday morning.  Sometimes six if there's
an extra one in the package.  No need to cook more than we'll eat
just to have it sit in the fridge for a week.
