Wilsonj Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Hi everyone, I'm considering buying a 23" but was wonder how people cook smashed burgers, fish, pancakes etc. Probably missing something obvious, but is there a griddle type accessory ? Thank you. Regards Jamie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alimac23 Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I use a cast iron plate on top of the grill for mineSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilsonj Posted August 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Thanks for the quick reply alimac23 ! I wondered if this was the case. I did see an old post of Dennis showing some stainless plates, but doesn't look like they went ahead. Cheers Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alimac23 Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 My pleasure Wilson!A burger smasher is a good investment too, I got one of these:Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilsonj Posted August 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Yes, nice idea. I struggle to apply pressure sometimes with the flip I use. And then meat gets caught in the holes sometimes too. No such trouble with this. Thanks Cheers Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Cheers Jamie They work so well, they’re also amazing for cooking bacon, put that on top of the bacon in the pan, and it pushes it down and gets it nice and crispy.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Welcome to the forum Wilson! If you do get the KK23 you will be a happy man they are not only the best KKs made but are works of art! And believe they are so much more impressive when they arrive. The pictures are great but up close and personal they are awesome! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I have a bacon press, same idea as the burger press only the bacon one is rectangular in shape. Wait until you taste the improved flavour of the food you cook on the KK. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I have a cast iron griddle plate that I got to do them on the KK. I use a solid metal spatula with a large can of something to smash mine down. I have a bacon press, but it's got a pig imprint, so I don't use it on burgers! LOL! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I use the round steel from this site. it is all flat on one side and the other is flat with a trench around the perimeter. https://shop.bakingsteel.com/ I now have a santa-maria grill w/ 1/2 of it flat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 also - the round steel is used for pizza as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to wait a little, as I believe Dennis is quite busy with orders. Thanks again. Cheers Jamie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tucker, Thanks for the link. Looks very interesting. Hate to think what shipping to Australia might cost though! I wonder what the pros and cons are on cooking Pizza on steel as apposed to more traditional stone ? Cheers Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think there are many owners in SA. At least I haven't come across any on forums. Yeah, I'm always tracking "toys". Although it isn't quite as much fun at the moment, due to shipping delays...

Basher Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Jamie stone holds heat longer.Depends how you use your stones and or steel.Multiple pizza cooks I prefer stone base. It seem to hold a steadier temp. Others here use both.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
