Review on πŸ” MiiKO Stuffed Burger Press: 3 in 1 Burger Press/Slider Press/Hamburger Maker with Bonus Items and Recipe E-Book by Neal Martin

a little tedious but works as advertised

I love to fry hamburgers. So far I have used a metal hamburger press that can press two hamburgers at the same time. He doesn't make stuffed hamburgers, though, and the idea of trying a stuffed hamburger press was appealing. I first saw an ad for such a stuffed burger press on Facebook, but the price was about 1-1/2 times higher than this one. Functionally, they turned out to be almost the same, so I decided to buy this one. The Stuffed Burger Press comes in a fairly compact box for easy storage. The kit includes 20 sheets of paper for separating chops and a quick start guide. A small press for making sliders (although not filled) is available. It's pretty easy to understand once you know how to unscrew the large press to open the hamburger pocket press. I bought a fresh 80% lean cartridge to try out the press. It takes some experimentation to determine how much ground beef to use in the press. The instructions say to first put about 60% of the beef in the press to make a pocket for the stuffing. Once you've added the stuffing, use the rest of the beef to form a lid to close the top. I found it too cumbersome and time consuming to screw the large press back on to press the top, so I simply flattened the beef top in my palm and then pressed it against the top of my burger. Once this process is complete, you can eject a freshly formed burger with stuffing simply by pushing up on the press's removable bottom. It turns out a fairly thick and even burger. I stacked the burgers on top of each other and separated them with a small piece of wax paper for easier transportation to the grill. Others I put in a freezer bag and put in the freezer for future use. My only real criticism of this press is that on many burgers the top didn't close well and separated from the bottom of the rest of the hamburger. . This mostly happened when the burger was quite full, so you may need to reduce the amount of filling to prevent this. Also, making stuffed burgers with this press is quite time consuming, although for a small number of people it probably doesn't matter much. However, if you want to make a lot of stuffed burgers, you'll find that it's a very time-consuming process. If you're planning on making burgers or sliders with no filling, which I didn't, this is a quicker process since you won't be filling them. Overall I like this burger press for the money spent. This offers some advantages over hand-stuffed hamburgers, as they are very consistent in size and thickness. For unstuffed burgers, however, my existing metal two-burger burger press does a lot better than this one.
