Review on 🍔 Meykers Burger Press - 5-inch Hamburger Patty Maker with 100 Patty Papers | Porcelain Smasher | Stainless Steel Burger Mold Ring | Shaper Smash for Meat, Beyond Veggie, Turkey, Vegan, Beef by Wendy Williams

I bought this press primarily because of its diameter. The inside diameter of the base section (the "mold ring") is just over 4.9 inches and the inside depth is just over 1 inch, not counting the crest of the valley and the ridges that form the groove. I prefer the finished, cooked burgers to be about the same size as the buns I use. The buns I use are about 4 inches in diameter. I typically use 85/15 for beef burgers, add 1 tablespoon dry seasoning per pound of meat, and make 1/3 pound patties (5-6 ounces pre-cooked). After frying the patties, I got burgers about 4 inches in diameter. that were 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick excluding dimples and grooves. As for the prep work for pressing the patties, I put a piece of hamburger paper on the underside of the base, then pre-measured the meat and then pressed it with a porcelain "chopper". It seems that whether I put a piece of paper on the meat or not made no difference to the outcome of the chop. The outside diameter of the porcelain "crusher" is just under 1/8" smaller than the inside diameter of the bottom of the mold, leaving you with some meat on the sides of the porcelain. Pressed meat does not come out of the mold easily unless it will turn upside down even with paper on the bottom, for this reason I do not recommend this product to anyone planning to cook 25lb hamburgers at a time. In the future, I might try 6" square paper on the bottom, so I can take the corner of the paper to help loosen it and maybe save the round paper for the top. Cleaning the parts is quite easy. I prefer hand washing. My concern is that the porcelain ribs that Forming indentations in the flesh, doesn't appear to have as much glaze or any at all compared to the rest of the porcelain surfaces Due to the lack of glaze on the ribs, I'm afraid the surface will ni very clean. For this reason, I add a small amount of bleach to my wash water.
