User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Like the concept, may not last…
Excellent concept and the press portion is fairly well made.

However the plastic storage is very lightweight and seems likely to crack if stressed when frozen.

After freezing the burgers in the tray I suggest moving to zip top bags for storage.

This system is compatible with the full size version. I recommend buying both so you can make and freeze 4 lbs at once. And you can choose between 1/9lb sliders and 1/4lb full size burgers.

5 Stars It really, really works!
I bought two sets, and used three trays tonight to make slider burgers. The product description says: “It makes and stores eighteen (18) mini patties while keeping your hands super clean.” LOL…the only way you are able to keep your hands super clean, is to use rubber gloves. You have to weigh out 1 pound of burger meat, and put it in the tray. I suppose you could use a spoon, or scoop, but that would not be very efficient. Then you have to press the meat down flat. I used my hands to do that. If you were to invert the insert that cuts the burgers into 9 squares, then you’d end up touching the meat anyway, which would be in contact with the insert.

So, working with 3 pounds of ground beef, I weighed out 3 portions of 1 pound each, and put them in each of three trays. I then flattened the meat with my hands, and use a small stainless steel turner to level off the meat in the tray, and along the edges. I then inverted the insert and pushed it down on the meat. I pulled on the little handle, praying that it would remove cleanly, and neatly. And it did. I then used the turner to remove 4 patties for our supper. They came out fairly easily, but there was the tiniest connection of meat to each other patty in the tray. I suspect when they are frozen, it would pull apart quite easily. So what I did, was to take the turner, and slide it up and down each indentation, or cut, to ensure total separation.

In conclusion, I am totally 5 star happy with this item. It was fast, easy, and beat the heck out of doing the same number of patties (27) one at a time, using a round mini-burger press. The slider rolls that I got were also square, so things worked out well all around. I have one of those big city slider stations (As Seen on TV), but the wells fill up quickly with the melted fat, and make quite a mess. I just put the 4 square patties in an 8 inch frying pan, and they cooked up very quickly.

4 Stars Good Product
Excellent idea. Product makes perfect White Castle-style patties. The only negative I see is that the product is made from very thin plastic that I do not believe will be durable over time.
