Customer Review: Great Hamburger Press
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased two of these over two years ago to use in my wifes restaurant. After one was stolen I purchased one more. These are great units and easy to clean. We have pressed over 120 pounds of hamburgers each week with just one of these and the second one we purchased is just a spare. THEY DO DISASSEMBLE! I noticed in a previous review that these does not disassemble so I want to tell you how easy it is.
First you just loosen the lock nut that screws against the top to keep the platefrom moving. 2nd turn the knob on top clockwise until the adjustment plate inside moves down a little (this process will not be necessary if you are not making maximum size burgers with the plate against the top all of the time like we do). 3rd hold the unit in one hand with your fingers on the plate inside the unit and your thumb on top of the unit to keep the plate from rotating. 4th unscrew the knob on top, 5th now you can unscrew and remove the locknut knob. 5th give the threaded shaft that you just removed the lock nut and knob from a spin clockwise and the plate will spin out of the bottom. I hope these directions do not sound complicated but after you do it once it is as easy as falling off of a turnip truck and only takes about 30 seconds.
It washes up in short order and everyting is clean. The first time we used it we put some bleach in the water and soaked it. This discolored the unit and it is really not necessary. We use plastic wrap on the top and bottom of the meat before we press it and the hamburger never comes in contact with the press. For the 1st two or three burgers it is a pain because of the static of the plastic wrap. It wants to cling to everything but this goes away quickly and two sheets of plastic wrap (one for the bottom and one to cover the meat) is enough to press all of our hamburgers with out changing. I was surprised at this but the stuff is tougher than I expected.
We use the unit at the maximum setting and we also use a gray commerical measuring scoop which gives us a perfect 4 1/4 oz hamburger everytime. Sorry but I cannot remember the number of the scoop but they are all color coded with the same colors. We have one person scooping and one person pressing and putting them in a plastic box .
Tips; (1)If you freeze the burgers, put two sheets of plastic between the layers because the hamburgers will freeze to the plastic and it is a real pain if you don't. (2) When you put the scoop of meat on the press, put it a little behind center because, as you can see, the lid does not come straight down, it has a hinge. If you put the meat directly in the center it will not fill the back half all the way.
If you want to make smaller hamburgers, and we don't, you can use a smaller scoop and you will have to play with it a little but it is not a big deal.
The unit we are using looks as good, except for the bleach experiment, and functions as well as it did when we first took it out of the box. If you want to make hamburgers 4 1/4 oz or less this is a tough unit that will probably last the average user a lifetime. It may last my lifetime under heavy use.
If you buy this one, I think you will be happy with it.
