Mr. Bar-B-Q Hamburger Press Patty Maker - Non-Stick Burger Mold Shaper with Freezer Storage Container - 12-Piece Set with 8-Layer Plastic Discs for BBQ Grill - #40231Y

Good hamburger press. Made big size burgers.

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.

Pros: Works as advertised. Ability to store patty's in press is a really nice feature. Inserts have grooves to put markings on patty's. Easy pull out feature means no patty's stuck on the bottom. Cons: It's a little challenging to get level patty's. Sometimes they come out lopsided, but it could just be me. Recommendation: I really enjoy this product and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good burger press. It seconds as a storage container so you can store the patty's for later (ie. Picnic), which is super handy.

While its a good product in that it makes several burgers and not jyzt one at a time like other products out there, it is a little flimsy in parts.

Great burger maker

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.

Easy to use. Perfect size. I like to blend bell peppers and mix it with ground turkey for a healthier choice. The dividing disks are great, but I also insert round 4.5 inch wax paper on each side of each patty for easy removal. I prefer to freeze the patties raw while they're in the molding container to retain the shape and cook them as needed. Overall, great buy.

Its perfect for turkey burgers. Consistent patty, on parchment, frozen then vacuum bagged. It great for bulk storage. Just lube the inside of the tube with olive oil spray.

I love this product. Great design allows for different patty thicknesses. Discs for separating patties helps split them after freezing. Lift out allows you to easily remove from container. Fast patty making. Easy to use. Easy to clean.

Practical gadget though I have only used it once since I only got it last week. It's not the sturdiest design, i.e. the materials aren't likely to be as durable as Tupperware or Rubbermaid, but it works well and I'm happy with it so far.

This product was so easy to work with. It created perfect round patties. I would recommend buying it.

The only burger press we've liked so far

Using the product was great and very simple to use, but I find the plastic is too fragile, especially around the edge where the lid goes. On my first use, part of it broke off with barely any effort. I had to repair it with crazy glue for my second use, and I doubt that'll hold for long. If you want something cheap and quick, I'd recommend this, but don't expect it to last long
