Hamburger Press Patty Maker, 12-Piece Non Stick 8-Layer Plastic Disc Hamburger Patty Press Set, Burger Patties Presser for Stuffed BBQ Slider, Burger, Kitchen Tool for BBQ Grill by Mr. Bar-B-Q #40231Y

I decided I needed a patty maker about a year ago, so I picked up the first one I saw at a box store. It was a single patty version. It was crap. I gave it to goodwill and don't even remember what brand it was.So I got another one from the grilling section of another box store. It was about $20 and claimed to be able to make three different sizes of patty. It, too, only made one at a time. It, too was junk. It, too wound up at goodwill.Determined, I got online to research myself up the best patty maker in existence. And I found it! A big ol' complicated contraption that cost me over $30 after tax and shipping. Made by the Weber grill people, no less! This one had to work.It did not. It was big and complicated... but it only made one patty at a time... and it was a pain in the ass to use... and it was annoying that I paid that much for plastic. It is in the box of stuff that will go to goodwill soon.One evening I was watching a cooking show on YouTube. The guy was explaining how to make many patties quickly in advance of a big BBQ. He brought out something like this that he bought from an infomercial "in the 70s". He as still using it!And then I remembered my own mother using one of these when I was five or six, in the late 70s.Do you know that in all prior searches, twice at a store and once on the internet, I had never seen one of these? Apparently stores don't carry anything like this anymore. And, apparently, the internet is so overrun with useless plastic crap that you will not find what you are looking for unless you know exactly what to call it. Because I did not see this in the first three pages of the Google search that led me to failure number three above, but when I actually knew the name of the thing it came right up on amazon.It's cheap and it works. It could be improved... easily, actually. A simple design change could make it far easier to remove than patties, for instance. But it's cheap and it works.For those wondering: the patties are about 5" in diameter, you make them any size you want, and it will make over two pounds of them per load.

By far the best hamburger food prep product out there. Easy to use and clean. The best things about this product are the ability to make multiple patties at once and the non-stick plates for patty separation!My only note for improvement is that the plastic piece that lifts the burgers is flimsy and difficult for my hands to spread the width of the grasp. I think making this product out of stainless steel would be a great improvement!I do work about the plastic holding up over time. Again, best I have found on the market! Improvements would only increase satisfaction further.

nice item easy to use and clean works pretty good

Awesome press! Very easy to use and prevents waste. Great for BBQ's.

Update 9-12-2024: I wanted to give an update, Seth from Fryoil Saver Saver Company reached out to me about my refund. I explained to him I already received a refund from Amazon, but he offered to get me a different press, even if it wasn't theirs. I found one, sent him the info and he had it sent to me free of charge within 48 ours, and it wasn't one of the ones they sell. THAT IS A 10 STAR CUSTOMER SERVICE. I haven't been treated that well for something I bought in 20 years! Thank you Seth and your team. I want to state for the record, this press may work for other, having arthritus, it is hard for me to evenly press down to make the even patties, the storage feature for the patties is pretty cool, and the product is well made, it just wasn't right for me. Again thank you Seth for your follow up and great customer service.I bought this because I like to make my own patties, and having arthritis, it is getting harder to make a large amount of patties for our cookouts. I did a lot of research and settled on this. I started with 10 pounds of ground beef, added my seasonings, mixed it and broke it down to 5 ounce balls to put in the press. Although it does make patties, the issue I had was, when pressing down, unless you are pressing the exactly, the plastic handle, shifts and you are left with patties that are thicker on one half and thinner on the other half. No matter how much I tried to adjust the pressure it still came out the same. I did like that you could make 6-8 patties at a time, but found out after using that there was no consistently. I ended up sending mine back. It does what it says, but just not well. I guess the search will continue.

This is our second one. We keep one in the camper now. Easy to use, consistent size and shape so all burgers cook evenly. No heady mess on your hands. Cleans easy in the dishwasher.

Works great

I've used this item three times, so my review might be limited.Alright, so first off, the patty dividers work really well, most of the other burger presses are only good for one burger at a time, so you end up with a hot mess after the 3 or 4 burger with all the meat sticking to your hands and under your nails... blah... However in with this product, you can make several patties at once. The little grove helps them from sticking together works well even when frozen.The press is also very easy to clean.The press also spreads the burgers out evenly as well, I preseason them and then press. I'd assume this works just as well with ground turkey, lamb, and definitely bison... I plan to try to make some chicken patties with finely diced chicken pieces with a few other ingredients - finely minced onions, garlic, peppers, a little egg white (to help maintain the patty shape), seasoning salt, pepper, let them marinate for 4 hours in the fridge, freeze them, then cook them.... Could try it with a Cajun style marinate as well, now I'm hungry :)All in all its a great product that I'd definitely recommend to anyone who likes to prep their own food. Only CON I have is that my wife complains that I have too many kitchen gadgets, and this Press doesn't work on her, maybe I should try a meat tenderizer on her. :P
