Weston Burger Press, Makes 4 1/2" Diameter Patties for Hamburger, Crab Cakes, Sausage, 1/4lb to 3/4lb, with Spring Ejector for Easy Removal, Single, Non-stick Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum (07-0310-W)

I’ve used several variations of burger presses over the last 25 years as a chef. This one actually work. The complaints about it being hard to clean are bogus. It screws apart, but if you use plastic wrap on it, then you have zero issues. Patties pop right out. Throw it in the dishwasher and done.

I used this with wax paper squares, have never had to have the meat in contact with the press. Weighing the meat portions first creates the most uniform patties if that is what you prefer.

It's a good burger press if you still have strength in your arms. The only problem I had is when I got through pressing, the burger was a little lopsided toward the connection of the two presses, so I had to press it outside of the gadget to even it out. Overall I liked it but ordered one of the other presses that doesn't have a bottom.

Use parchment paper on the bottom and top. Works like a champ. Without the paper, it will stick. I love it!

Traded in my cheap plastic Weber press for this. It’s perfect and makes very consistent patties that stay together even with 93/7 lean ground meat.Also buy the pre cut parchment squares to go with it, makes life way easier.

Love this hamburger press! I had a ton of ground beef and made hamburgers to put in the freezer. It was easy to use and clean up was easy. It is very sturdy and doesn’t take up too much room in the cabinet. You won’t regret buying this!

This press is well-built and sturdy and does exactly what it says it does and, sadly, makes a very simple process overly complicated. Used this once, then realized that by the time I'd taken it apart to clean it, I'd spent about three times as long preparing patties than if I'd just made them by hand. Hear me out. . .I thought somehow that this patty maker would simplify or improve the patty-making process or, I don't know, make it more fun or something. It doesn't. It just makes it take longer. It's kinda like having a 1,000 lb gadget to pour tap water from the kitchen faucet into a glass. So, the way it works is you get your hamburger meat ready to press, then you have to get the wax paper down so the meat doesn't stick to the press, then you place the meat in the press and push down on it with your greasy hand, then you open the press and press the plunger to get the patty to release. Then, when you're done, you have to take the thing apart to clean all the grease off it and the bits of raw meat that get caught inside the press, then you have to put it back together. . . . So many steps when all you'd have to do after getting the meat ready to press is simply flatten it out by hand in about three seconds like you've done all your life. The burgers from the press don't cook up any better, and most of the time the patties aren't perfectly shaped anyway because one patty had a little more meat than the other when pressed.So anyway, I bought two of these to give one away as a gift, but after using mine once, I'm not gifting the other to my family member as it's simply an impractical gadget. Very nice, very well-made, and completely unnecessary and impractical. And it's not returnable. : ( Just press your patties by hand like usual and save yourself time and money. Or, if you absolutely have to have some kind of gadget to press the meat, just get one of those hand-held thingamajiggers. Really, though, take it it from me: pressing patties by hand is the simplest and fastest, way simpler and way faster that using this.

Love it
