Cuisinart3-in-1 Stuffed Burger Press, Non-Stick Burger Stuffer Hamburger Patty Maker, Patty Maker Grill Accessory for Outdoor Cooking, BBQ, Tailgates, Camping

I have had this for a week or three now and have made a couple of batches of burgers with it. I will say that overall I like this tool and would only wish that I had one identical but made from stainless steel. The plastic is really durable and has no effect on the outcome, but I just feel stainless steel would be more attractive, durable, and easier to clean.CONSTRUCTION:This is well made. No sharp edges or snagging parts. Everything fits well and is designed with holes to be mounted to a board for secure work. Handles are easy to grip and do not cut into my hands. I only wish there was a way to retain all parts so they would not fall apart when stored. Currently the top of the press will come out of the base if allowed to float in a drawer. I just put mine into a zip-lock bag to resolve the issue, works great.USE:I have not made lots of burgers with this, but have made several batches, more large burgers than sliders. Both instances of the use of this item works well. There is instructions provided on how to use this device, as it can be a little confusing when seeing all the parts loose. It is easy to use though and you should not worry. The surfaces do not stick to the meat badly and the lower plate of both tools comes out to make the job as easy as possible. Just pack the meat inside (I use a spoon to put the meat into the device as it works best, trust me) and after a couple of times you will have the amount needed down to a science. Press the lid down into the mold a couple of times, rotating the handle about 1/3 to 1/2 the way around each time to make things more even. Then just push up from the bottom of the base to remove floor and burger. I just put the burger and floor of tool onto the grill or pan together and then pull up on the plastic floor plate which comes off the burger easily enough. A tip is to line the bottom of the burger press with wax paper, plastic wrap, oil, or even heavy seasoning to make the burgers release the most easy way. You can also stuff burgers with this tool. There is a detachable lid section for that and it works great. It locks on the lid with a slight twist and stays in place while making burgers without an issue.CLEAN UP:Like said before, I think that stainless steel would be better, but it would cost more as well. I got this on sale for just a couple of dollars. Overall it does clean up nicely. The plastic is not a porous one and all food comes off really easily. I would not just throw this into a sink full of dishes because it could get marred up and I do not know if once this plastic becomes scratched or loosed it finish if it will react the same way. I do not use a dishwasher so I can not say how well it holds up or cleans in one. It is easy to clean though and dry as well. It stores in a compact package as well. I do like to wash mine off with clean water before use each time and spray oil on it before use.

Makes perfect burgers and sliders!I liked several things with this!1). Makes burgers & sliders as easy as 1,2,3! No wax paper or other release mechanisms.2). Makes stuffed burgers simple. Press bottom, fill with cheese & bacon, add the to!3). Dishwasher safe!!!4). Durable! I’ve had this over a year, dropped it numerous times, and still looks/works like new!I would purchase again and would recommend to others

it is a nice little extra item , not necessary but handy to have . now my burgers match the bum much better . I put onions in the middle layer of the patty and this gismo just does a better job that I ever did before .

For a long time I was making homemade burgers by hand. Attempting to shape uniformly and getting it all to hold together well. It was a bit frustrating, but always a good meal. I finally decided to get one of these patty makers and I must say I am very happy I did. This product is great!The instructions are easy to understand, there are multiple sizes and it works great.I have not tried the other sizes, but I went with the large patty. I crammed it full of burger anticipating the thing we all dread - burger stuck to everything and a horrible quality patty.I am so happy to say that as I pushed up on the bottom piece to release the patty it popped right out, in perfect shape and held together. I couldn't ask for better, this is worth every penny.Clean up was easy. I ended up hand washing it and everything cleaned up without issue. It can be a little tricky getting under the handle, but perhaps next time I will try the dishwasher.If you are tired of struggling with making patties by hand, or you have a patty maker that just doesn't work well, then I strongly recommend giving this thing a try, it's great!

Why stuff a burger? If you have spent any time slaving over a grill, attempting to get your burgers "just right", then you know what happens in the end game: trying to place your toppings on your burgers at just the right moment, while reaching over a hot grill, hoping that the toppings stay in place, not rolling off and perishing in the eternal flames below. (not to mention having to clean off the grill later!). So, I saw a commercial on TV for a contraption that helped easily create stuffed burgers. Perfectly shaped each time. And the comfort of knowing that all that "toppings goodness" was sealed inside the burger. I was intrigued. So I sought out that stuffed burger contraption on Amazon.But, thanks to the great reviews that people posted on Amazon, I was made aware that the product I was interested in was really a waste of money. Enter the Cuisinart Stuffed Burger Press. I ordered based on other's positive comments and the product arrived swiftly and well packaged.Bonus: you can make sliders with it if you crave smaller portions. If you want a stuffed burger it works like a charm. In no time I was able to unpack the burger press, placed some ground beef in it and insert the top. The top has a protrusion that pushes the excess beef to the sides of the container, creating a perfect pocket for whatever toppings you care to add. Simply add some more ground beef to the top, press down with the top to create a perfect seal. The sealed burgers are easily extracted - the bottom plate can be pushed from below, allowing you to easily extract the burger without disturbing the contents or the shape. Drop them on the grill and you are ready to go. It really is as easy as that.Top the whole thing off with the fact that you can toss the burger press in the dishwasher and you are good to go. Give it a try!

Ease of use. Burgers cook evenly.Slider size or regular size nice for differing appetites.Kitchen gadget husband readily uses!
