 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 don't mind wrinkly bacon. Why flatten it?

 The bacon press I have is old.  I bake bacon on a slotted broiler pan
with the pan underneath lined with foil.  (I do not re-use or store to
cook anything with leftover bacon grease).  When baked using my method,
it cooks evenly, stays flat and the fat gets nicely cooked along with
the lean.  Whenever I've cooked bacon in a skillet, it tends to curl and
the fatty streaks stay rubbery.  I don't like rubbery bacon fat.

I can fry bacon so that it's flat and crispy - no bacon press required.
It only takes about a minute to fry up. Well okay.
