Questions & Answers
We don't cook the patties on the grill, but instead press them
The cast iron/aluminum device has stainless steel parts On top of the metal is a wooden handle that acts as a press.
We used it for that purpose, but would recommend placing a sheet of parchment on top of and bottom of it
The answer is yes. Don't overwhelm yourself with meat, just don't put too much of it. To make retrieval of the burgers easier, place plastic wrap in the unit as well
Selected User Reviews For Norpro Mini Burger Press, 1 EA, Shown
When I first read reviews of this item, I was a little hesitant, because some people stated they were unable to remove the sliders after they were pressed down. In any case, I bought it since I needed it to make breakfast sausage patties for my wife's morning meal because she is on Keto and needs to control her carbs as well as eat normal meals. My first step was to remove the unit from the packaging and wash it in soapy warm water, then rinse and dry it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Following that, I prepared the patties by mixing turkey breakfast sausage. The below recipe calls for the bottom half of the press to be lined with wax paper instead of plastic wrap, since they tend to be slightly more sticky at 80/20 compared to pork sausage or ground beef. After composing 1, I made up 2. I used 2 ounce wax paper molds for each 5 inch ball, and centered them between wax paper sheets. In addition, I applied firm, even pressure to the top of the press after covering it with another sheet of wax paper. As a result of the depth of the mold, you can only press down so far. A smaller amount of meat can be squeezed out of the sides without having to try very hard, as happened with the first batch In order to flip it over onto my copper griddle, I peeled off the top layer of wax paper, grabbed the mold and the bottom sheet, and then peeled off the bottom sheet of wax paper. I was able to peel off the wax paper easily from the bottom of On the grill, I used the top half of the press to hold the patties in place. I have a few notes to make 1
You should try to place your meat mixture ball in the center of the mold cavity. Simply press down on the top half of the beef so that you see the meat slip out slightly*3. When pressing the top half of the handle over the patties you are cooking on your grill or griddle, don't leave it there for A hot day is a FOREGOING event. Overall, this is a great product that you can use to make Compared to some of the other ones out there that have only 3 mold holes, I think this one is better. For us, it's a keeper.
As I read the product reviews, I became a little concerned about getting the patties out, but decided to give it a go anyway. Following several tries we discovered that using two LEM Products 027A Plastic Freezer Sheets (6" x 10-" I used 3/4) sheets on the bottom of the patties and two sheets on the top. The patties will fall out of the press after you press them and flip them over. Put them in a zip-lock freezer bag and freeze, leaving a layer of Lem freezer sheets on the top. There is an easy way to get the right amount of meat, but it still needs to be determined. A medium-sized cookie scoop is what I use, but I have to overfill it to get enough meat to make a full patty from it. Then I'm going to fill a large cookie scoop to the top with a level amount of ground beef and see how many complete patties it makes.
For the wedding reception of my daughter we made 288 slider hamburgers. We were able to speed up the process and ensure the sliders were uniform in size by using this press!.
There is a lot of actual press available- This is very durable and made in the United States. A Williams' one is in my possession We are a full-service firm in Sonoma It is the same size press and the quality is similar. The thickness of the burgers is extremely thin, which is not what I wanted or anticipated. We are not talking about sliders here. I did not expect mini burgers to be so thin and small, so it does not live up to my expectations. In my outdoor grill, I have a very wide grill grates, but I knew that the hamburgers I was making would not be able to fit on the grill, so for an event that I was hosting, I cooked them in the oven. This is not the right burger press for you if your grill has large grates and you intend to make sliders on it.
It is made of cheap plastic that I purchased from the bread aisle of a grocery store. Among all the presses I have used, this one is my favorite. It is very easily to clean after every use and it is very sturdy. What is the point in purchasing sliders that are already laced out when you can make them better yourself? It's a good price for the quality and the price is reasonable.
It is easy to build a large number of sliders with it. To get the right size, put a bit of meat into a bag and press it. Roll it back up and put it in a ball once more. You now need to build the other 6 sliders the same size as the Make sure the wax paper is in the bottom and press the meatball into each pocket. Repetition is the key. Sometimes things can get a little sticky It takes time to work, but it is quick.
Burgers were stuck to the pan and need to be sliced with a knife (slamming on counter to remove failed). It took me a lot of time and effort to reshape the burgers after using the knife to remove from the plate.
Making sliders for my grandchildren was a lot of fun. A nearby restaurant offered dry onion mix to go with the meat and it tasted like it'd been there for years.
