KitchenCraft Home Made Non Stick Burger Press with Recipe in Gift Box, Aluminium Quarter Pounder Maker, 11 cm

This is an excellent product - very simple and effective and exactly what is required when making home-made burgers. The material is very sturdy so you can put enough pressure on the press to make the desired burger shape and the ridges give an attractive finish to the burger, which gives a better texture to the outside of the burger once cooked, compared to a smooth surface. The burgers, once pressed, are easy to get out - most of the burgers I have made have come straight out in one piece by simply tipping them up into my hand or onto a plate; a couple have required a bit of coaxing by firmly tapping the bottom but they still came out without breaking up or without any bits of meat remaining in the press. I definitely recommend this design over more complex ones - friends have paid a lot more for 'fancy' burger presses which they then struggle to get the burgers out of so are now buying a second one like this. It is definitely worth buying if you make home-made burgers.

Really good value for money. Very easy to use and the meat did not stick to it which is great. I prefer making my own burgers so use it regularly. The press is quite big in diameter so the burgers are large but not too thick so they don’t shrink and bulk up when frying.

The metal construction of this press means that it feels like a quality item. I've used it for batches of a few dozen burgers now and find it quick and easy to use. Seems best to use it with circular wax paper inserts to reduce problems with your meat/whatever from sticking to the press (it's not terrible without them, just easier with them). Seems best for quarter-pounder type burgers rather than anything significantly smaller or larger.Very easy to clean. I don't find that the ridges really add anything to the end product, but can't say they're an issue. Resulting burgers look nicer and hold together much better than my hand-made equivalents.Main problems:* There is a small gap around the edge when the two parts are placed together, so if you don't seat the top correctly or push too hard you generally end up with some of your mixture leaking out.* The press doesn't help you keep the top part level when compressing the mixture, so it's possible to create wonky burgers if not careful.* The large handle means it takes more storage space than I'd like.Overall, much prefer this to the cheap-feeling, plastic, sprung press I used previously.

I had been looking for a simple burger press for my homemade burgers and this fits the bill exactly. I made 4 decent sized burgers from 500g of meat using this press. The thickness is about half an inch. I lightly oiled both sides of the press to prevent the meat sticking (even though this might not be necessary as it seems to be non stick) and it has washed up well, ready for my next batch! I would definitely recommend this.

While the second side is cooking, lay a slice of cheese on top to melt slightly (if using).3. Meanwhile, lightly toast the cut-sides of the buns on the barbecue. Fill with the lettuce, burgers and tomato slices. Serve with ketchup, if you like.

It is ok nothing special

I am very pleased with this press, the size is perfect for making great Hamburgers. Although you have the same old problem of getting the burger out of the press, the non stick works well and each burger comes out intact.My only improvement would be to make it slightly deeper, but this is not worth knocking a star off. Maybe another model in the range to satisfy us who like a big burger.

Some kitchen gadgets work and some don't. This one most certainly does. It's not easy to make the perfect burger since there are umpteen variations and it's all down to personal taste anyway. At least if you buy decent meat you are half way there. The perfect shape of burger takes you further along the road to burger Nirvana. This burger press does exactly that and makes ample size burgers which keep their shape without having to add the awful egg to the burger mix. And the mix doesn't need much coaxing to come out of the press. It also gives the ubiquitous lines on your burger although these are just for show and not really necessary. If you are into making your own burgers give this little gadget a go. It works.

Fácil de hacer las hamburguesas, resistente y de fácil limpieza. Tamaño ideal. Truco poner film transparente para poder sacar sin dificultad la carne.

Ottimi materiali. Molto leggero. usando una pellicola tra i due pezzi si ottiene un hamburger davvero perfetto. Ideale per panini più grandi del normale. Sono molto soddisfatta

Facile à utiliser...Encore plus facile à nettoyer. C'est parfait... Bon un peu cher tout de même pour ce que c'est!

Cómodo de usar, muy fácil de limpiar (al contrario que otras prensas que he visto) y de muy buen material. En general con esta marca aciertas siempre.Recomiendo, de todos modos, hacer las hamburguesas poniendo film debajo y encima, así resulta más cómodo y rápido sacarlas de la prensa.

Parfait pour faire ses steacks chez soit au lieu d'acheter des surgelés sans savoir ce qui les compose. On peut mettre les épices souhaités. Le fait qu'il n'y ai pas de ressort et qu'il soit en deux parties facilite le nettoyage ainsi aucun risque qu'un morceau de viande reste coincé avec les dégats que ça peut causer.Un conseil malgré tout, passé une goutte d'hiile dedans pour que ça colle pas trop.
