Burger Press

Anastacia

I sometimes do them by hand & sometimes with the press but i do like the press ones better really. In fact, thats what we'll be having for tea tomorrow now, thanks for reminding me. ( i dont do meal planning - just keep a full freezer & cupbaord)

I wish this thread had been posted before Snowy and I went to the boot sale. There was one there that we ummed and ahhed over, but left it. Think I'm going to have to get one now.

Thanks for bringing this up HappyIdiotTalk.

My pleasure! I'll try and be a bit more on the ball next time!

Yeah thanks for this thread. I'd been debating whether to give these a go ever since i saw it in the lakeland book. Having tried HM burgers and got very messy hands and the results, although tasty weren't overly impressive to look at!!:D

I'll be checking ebay instead I think in true MSE style.

Hurrah I bought a burger maker from ebay and it's arrived. Just need to give it a good wash Got the wax discs and plan to freeze any left over burgers too - hopefully!!

Nice neat burgers that actually fit in the bread rolls, due to be attempted on Friday!!

Wasn't the one below was it, I was watching it but the auction ended while I was at work and I forgot to bid:

I have the Kitchen Craft Burger maker with a spring in it - it's great. I used it last night to mould my leftovers into neat bubble and squeak rounds. It comes apart for easy washing up. I got it off Ebay duruing the summer for about £3 odd plus postage.

i am wondering whether to buy a burger press and am wondering if they are worth the kitchen space?
i obviously have 2 hands and am perfectly capable of shaping a ball of meat but was i quite like the idea of having more professional looking ones, i was also wondering if there any other advantages.

thanks

Hi there

I have one by lakeland that is a plastic case that you put the meat into and twist down to press the meat into a round...they also do the clear plastic discs to seperate them for freezing..it takes up no more room than say a Mug......and wasn't expensive at all... one of those things that i don't use very often.. so didn't want to spend heaps on ...but does the job

ok..just been on www.lakeland.co.uk and they are £2.99 and they have a 1/4lber for £3.99 ...

TBH I bought one and dont use it. I cannot be bothered in cleaning it and it really doesnt make much difference than making them by hand.
