Weber® Original Burger Press Grilling Tool

What I like about this product is how the burgers take shape once you use it. What I do is use hamburger patty paper. I put it in the fiberglass with the beef in the middle and press on it. I season my meat and chill it overnight before I use the burger press. Once I press the burgers I chill them overnight before I grill them. It keeps them fresh and solid. It also keeps them cool. Once I press the burgers I use a spatula to lift them up and finish shaping them with my hand. Really an effective tool. It’s a must have and it’s important to have to better your game at grilling.

I like to buy ground beef in bulk and prepare burger patties for the freezer. I like to make half pound burgers and I like for them to all be equal in size. First, I use a scale and roll up a half pound ball of ground beef. Then I place the ball on the half pound side of the press and...perfection. It's so easy. It even adds a small indention to the top half of the patty to keep it from bubbling up in the middle when cooking. The press is strong thick plastic that cleans easy in the sink or dishwasher. It makes 1/2 and 1/4 pound patties. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.

It's a burger press. There's not much to explain, but here goes. I weigh out my individual meat portions, use Norpro square wax paper on bottom and top, and press, done. You now have a raw burger patty. The wax paper helps release the burger from the press, and it keeps the burgers from sticking to each other, if like me, you stack them on top of each other. Even if I don't freeze the burgers for later, I usually keep them in the freezer while I get the grill ready. I prefer to make 6oz (1/3 lb) burgers, so, I use the 1/4 lb side of the press plate. The burgers come out at approximately 4.5 inches in diameter. I would like it if the diameter was a little larger. As other reviewers have mentioned, on the inside of the cover is a small dome for creating a dimple in the center of the patty. I think that if you press the burgers compact enough, and use lean enough meat, the dimple is kind of overrated, but it's there if you are a dimple fan. As far as burger size shrinkage goes, I think a larger diameter press would address any potential size loss issues. The press is three parts in total. All parts are plastic. The handle attaches to the top part by way of a bayonet style fitting. All parts are molded, so, no meat gets up into the handle from the inside. By removing the handle from the cover, you are able to thoroughly clean all parts. When pressing the burgers, I prefer to keep one hand clean from the raw meat, that is the hand that I press with, then there are no worries about getting meat on the outside of the cover. (That is not to say that you still shouldn't use proper kitchen clean up, and sanitizing practices to prevent contamination.) I give this product a 4 star review, even though there are some things I would like to see changed. It is a simple kitchen tool that works well... with wax paper. If you have read the reviews and still choose to complain about your patties not releasing because you didn't follow the advice of other reviewers, that is on you. Unless you are making a hundreds of burger patties at one time, this is an inexpensive kitchen tool that will give you consistent burgers.

Great product. Makes burgers in just the right form for me. Easy clean up also.

Easy to use and made the most perfect burgers!

It's okay. You'll need to spray it or the patties will eventually start sticking in it and you'll have to dig them out and start over. If the intent of the "dimple" on the underside of the lid is to add that impression on the patty so it doesn't shrink during cooking, then you'll need to go ahead and increase the size of the dimple with your hands. It's just way too small. I do 1/3lb patties, and with this your choices are 1/4lb or 1/2lb so just use the 1/4lb side and it won't smash down all the way before the meat reaches the rim, so your patties may be a little uneven. Not sure how they could have resolved that b/c I think 1/3lb patties are pretty popular, and maybe 1/4lb patties. But 1/2lb? Who knows. Again, it's okay.

Nice to have size options and works as advertised

Any honest review of this junk would be one star. Burger sticks to the plastic and comes apart trying to remove from the mold. It's more trouble than it saves. Junk. Don't bother.

Parfait pour faire ses burgers maison. Tout en plastique mais de bonne qualité, vous pouvez faire deux épaisseur de steak. Du Weber

Kwaliteit is goed, echter gebruiksgemak is minder. Lastig om je burgers eruit te krijgen. Ook is het formaat best groot waardoor je 200 gram gehakt moet gebruiken voor een dikkere burger.

Inte vad jag tänkte mig, bättre göra smash burgare på fri hand.

Easy to use and effective. The meat can stick a little bit sometimes though
