Shape+Store Burger Master Innovative 8-in-1 Burger Press & Freezer Container Makes 8 Quarter-Pound Burgers 32 Oz., Tasty Amazing Burgers, Easy-To-Clean & Dishwasher Safe

I have both the 1/4 lb. and 1/2 lb. burger presses in this brand and love them both for different purposes. Previous to getting these presses, I used burger presses that make one burger at a time. I have a couple sizes of these to make different sizes. The advantage of the single burger press is you can regulate the thickness of the burger. The disadvantages are that you must weigh the meat for each burger for consistency and you can make only one burger at a time. Making burger with this press is so much simpler, but you have less control over thickness. All you have to do is mix up 2 lbs. of your favorite burger mix. Plop the hunk of meat into one side of the press and push the meat into each section. When you put the other side on, it divides the meat into individual burgers. As you press down on the top, you can hear the air popping out of each cell. It is important to get as much air as possible out of the form to prevent freezer burn after freezing. This burger press makes 1/4 lb. burgers that are 3 1/2" in diameter and 3/4" thick and fit well in a regular sized bun. For us, this is on the small side as we would prefer burgers at least 1/3 lb. On the other hand, the 1/2 lb. burger is huge, especially after you add bacon, onion, tomato, lettuce, and whatever else you put on a burger. The 1/2 lb. size would great if they could be made thinner (less than 1/2 lb.), but then there would be air space above them that would cause freezer burn if left in the press for freezing. What I love about this hamburger press is: - It makes 8-1/4 pound burgers in a matter of a couple of minutes without having to weigh meat for each patty - The thickness of the hamburger is consistent for even cooking - It puts a dimple in the meat to prevent shrinkage and swelling of the meat - Pressing 8 burgers is super fast without weighing - Pressed burgers can be frozen and stored in the form which locks out air and prevents freezer burn. - Frozen burgers can also be stored in vacuum sealer bags. Although this size burger press may be on the small side for burgers, it's the perfect size for making breakfast sausage patties using bulk breakfast sausage. This size is perfect for the larger English muffins. My husband and I both love a good burger. Prior to getting these presses, we haven't had them very often because it was a hassle to put together the burger mix and then weight and press individual burger. Now I can freeze patties and all I have to do is cook them. Incidentally, the burgers cook great from frozen, so I don't have to allow time to defrost them before cooking. These presses have made dinner planning a whole heck of a lot simpler. UPDATE 8/13/21: I really did think these burger would be too small, but I was so wrong. The 1/2 pound were definitely too big by the time I added a mustard, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and bacon. Adding the same additions to this 1/4 pound burger, it was plenty big for my husband and I. I include sides of veggie greens and broasted potatoes or fries, and they are large enough without making us feel stuffed. These burgers are also the perfect size for regular sized buns. I use the 1/2 pound burger press for making Salisbury steak, chopped steak with gravy and onions, and patty melts. Without the bun and the burger toppings, the 1/2 pound is perfect for these dishes. UPDATE 09/13/21: After multiple uses, I noticed that sometimes it is very difficult to open the form after it is frozen - the form freezes to the contents inside it. The solution to this problem is to run warm water over both sides of the form. By doing this, the form opens easily and the product, usually burgers, can be easily removed. I hope this review was helpful for you. I will update my review if my opinion changes and if I come up with more ideas to use them.

Works great. Meat came out easy. And they said together well on the grill

I do not eat beef and I hate the way hamburger feels, with that being said, here's my review! My husband loves beef and loves his hamburgers. I purchase at least 3 lbs of hamburger 3 days of the week. 3lbs makes 8 hamburgers in this press. I chop up my onions, spinach, peppers, garlic, add my garlic, salt, etc. I mix the ingredients and then spread them out into the bottom of the tray. Make sure that the lid is pressed on tightly and all of the air is out. The process is super easy! Now, this is where people mess up. I didn't put this tray in the oven, but I honestly decided to buy it because I thought it was a silicone oven hamburger cooking sheet. THIS DOES NOT GO IN THE OVEN! Straight to the freezer only, NO MICROWAVE, I'm not even sure if it is dishwasher safe. Once the burgers freeze, you pop them out and store them however you store your burgers. I will say this saves money AND it allows for burgers to be perfectly made and even. In my home, it cuts down on "patty making time". I do not always freeze them Sometimes I just ad my mixture, start my grill and pop them out and then grill them. I just like that it takes away the million burger patty time. With 3 lb rolls of beef, I would usually make at least 12 burgers (he likes them tiny, so in his mind he is eating more) but with so many other things to take care of, this press frees up my time. It is certainly a time saver.

This thing works pretty well. It actually works better than the 2 or 3 of the other burger patty makers I have used all of which I have purchased from amazon in the past. The burgers come out a bit thicker and smaller in circumference than I prefer, so I simply give them a bit of a squish as I am putting them between wax paper, or onto the grill and that worked great, however if you like a thicker burger then they would be perfect right out of the mold. I haven't used it to store them, but just make a bunch of patties to freeze, and the fact that this makes 8 at a time is very nice, especially as opposed to the others which only make 1 at a time. The 2 reasons I took down one star is because it is a bit difficult to clean (hand wash... though I believe it is machine washable) and because when you put the top on it does not quite cut all the way through the patties so you have to work them out a put or run a butter knife along the seams, so it would be nicer if they had a grove they went into so that it ensured that they were cut all the way through.

This device works great for making burgers. I made some garlic onion jalapeno Italian seasoning ghost pepper salt organic grass fed beef burgers, and they turned out great. Like others reviews have said put the mild with the burgers in the freezer for 30-60 minutes so they stiffen up, which makes them easy to remove from the mold and keep their shape. I guess you could also try spraying olive oil on both sides of the mold before you put the meat in if you are in a rush to cook the burgers. The olive oil should make it easier to remove the mold without the burgers sticking to it. I haven’t tried it yet, so it is just a guess. I also bought the sliders mold and made garlic onion sweee peppers habanero Italian seasoning chicken sliders, which turned out great. Also made garlic onion sweet peppers vindaloo chicken sliders that were great.

I use this to help meal plan and food pre for a busy week head. Great for prepping for big batch freeze and camping trips

Está súper útil práctico y ahorra mucho tiempo, con 1kg de carne formas hamburguesas de muy buen tamaño, me pareció excelente, lo recomiendo mucho!

Very handy when you’re making burgers in bulk to freeze. I’m sure I’ll be even more proficient with it the next time round!cuts down on the mess and the need for dividers when you’re making a load of them!

Quick and easy way to shape 8 patties at a time, if you don't mind hexagons. It doubles as storage in the fridge or freezer, and can also serve as a freezer pack (when frozen) on your way to a cook-out. It works well for fish cakes, too. The price could be a bit lower, but if you enjoy burgers, meat-alternative patties, and/or fish cakes, you'll get plenty of use out of it. UPDATE 2022/09/22: I found yet another use for it. Both parts (top and bottom) can serve as universal pot lids. They form a good seal around most pots and saucepans.

Era lo que esperaba. Muy bueno, quedan de buen tamaño. No se pega, se congela y queda sellado.
