Best burger press ever!

[Chasdev]

I've owned this for several years and while using it again yesterday I realized I've not shared my find, so here goes.
This thing rocks.
It makes 5.5 inch pattys and I like to use 5 ounce balls of burger meat.
To me that's the sweet spot, thickness to diameter ratio.

Looks good. Now I'm off on a Amazon rabbit hole.....

Enabler alert.......enabler alert...... I'll have to check it out. I also prefer a 5-6 oz patty.

Hmm.I bought an El cheapo plastic press years ago, and worked great until the handle broke when I dropped it. Never replaced it and just went back to using my hands. $23 might change that...

You have to pay attention when pressing or the patty will be tilted a bit.
No problem though, just rotate the press and press again to flatten.

I use a Pampered Chef silicone press and have it down to a science. I wish they had one with this larger diameter. I'll likely order this sooner or later lol. Can't resist

I have a press that work OK, but not great, but I have this one on my "want but don't need" list.

I got a smaller one, and yeah, I think you were smart going bigger. My patties weren't large enough.

Would definitely recommend wax squares to go with it. Made it super easy to make a big batch and freeze: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005G4L5D6

Ironically, as soon as I started using it, my wife started wanting smash burgers...

My wife got into selling Pampered Chef a handful of years ago. She did pretty good with it. But I finally had to tell her. " we can't fit anymore s%!t in this kitchen, you have to stop." Lol

If we ever add on a main floor bedroom for us the addition will come with a dedicated room... meat grinder, slicer, vac sealer... you name it. And big enough for them to have there own dedicated space. It was my wife's idea... sure do love that woman!

I have several things from Pampered Chef . One of them is a burger press . Not marked , but I think it might be from them . I spent about an hour this morning rearranging Longaberger Baskets . I'm over run with those things .
