Why The Smashburger Melt Is Going Viral

Tips for the Best Crispy Smashburger Melt

• Use American cheese for classic smashburger flavor and Colby Jack for extra meltiness.
• Let the burger rest for 1–2 minutes after toasting before slicing.

Why Make a Smashburger Melt in the Toastie Press™?

The Revolution Toastie Press™ transforms a classic cheeseburger into a crispy smashburger melt by pressing the layers together while toasting the bun to golden perfection. Compressing the burger before toasting helps create a thinner, crispier texture that locks in melted cheese and burger flavor in every bite. The result tastes like a cross between a diner-style smashburger and a grilled cheese sandwich.
