I love gadgets. ..
I love kitchen gadgets more than any other gadgets types. For years I’ve wanted a hamburger press. Don’t ask me why, I just want one. But for the life of me I can’t bring myself to spending $25 to $30 for a decent one. Maybe because I’m getting older and wiser I just can’t cost justify it.
But I want those perfectly formed hamburger patties when I grill burgers. Some people just make hand formed patties but most of the time they just seem to fall apart on the grill. So I use what I call the “plate burger press.”
Most salad plates have a ridged circle on the bottom that is roughly the same size as a quality hamburger bun.
After forming the hamburger into a firm ball, place it in the center of the circle on the bottom of the plate.
Using another plate centered on the bottom one gently start pressing the ball of hamburger into a patty.
With some practice, not much this ain't rocket science, you can form some great hamburger patties.
There you go a simple, easy to use hamburger patty press with “gadgets” you already have.
