Shape+Store Burger Master Innovative 8-in-1 Burger Press & Freezer Container Makes 8 Quarter-Pound Burgers 32 Oz., Tasty Amazing Burgers, Easy-To-Clean & Dishwasher Safe

The material is excellent and very easy to work with; ever since I got it, I’ve been making my own burgers.

We use this for homemade veggie burgers and it generally works well for keeping a consistent size and shape that helps with cooking. I also appreciate being able to freeze them in this container and the flat shape makes it easy to store in my freezer. For veggie burgers, I find this tool works better a different way. With meat patties it sense to fill in the the open area and press down the mold section to divide the burgers. With veggie burgers I have found it better to fill in the mold/divided area and use the open area half to press down on them to create the individual burgers. With the right recipe, burger binder (We use egg substitute binder) and enough burger pressed into the sections, the burgers come out of the mold very well. Just let them sit a few minutes in the container to tighten up. I tend to cook them first before freezing them and I actually put them back into this container to freeze them. I do find this product to be a bit on the expensive side for being some injected mold silicone product. However, this product will last a lifetime since it is solid and I appreciate the fact that it is made in Canada, which is worth a premium in my opinion. Overall, I really appreciate this container and it has made making veggie burger a lot more consistent and reliable. I am happy to give it a 5 star rating.

What I got with this product was a nice thick silicone burger mold. It works fine. My only problem is that the burgers are a bit smaller than I thought they would be, but they will fit in those cheap buns you find that are also tiny so that isn't a terrible thing. It's also just a great way to break up that large package of burger you bought and freeze it without having to worry about room for a sheet pan or it flipping over. You can toss this in the freezer in whatever angle you want and it will be fine, that's a big bonus for parting out burger packs in my book. I give it a buy based on that alone. You may even want 2 or 3 just to do it all in one go, they don't take up much space storage wise. I didn't store my burger in one so I can't comment on that, but I do believe that if it were sealed properly it would hold your burger in better stead than a plastic bag. I always get ice in those. On the seal, it does overlap and lock down. If you don't overfill it should be air tight and freezer safe for a long period. I would recommend if you need something to freeze some quantities that are known for whatever reason. Having a bunch of same sized patties makes it easy to not "overbeef" your meals and you can stretch your meat supply, something that seems to be prudent these days. It looks like war rations may be back on soon.

I have both the 1/4 lb. and 1/2 lb. burger presses in this brand and love them both for different purposes. Previous to getting these presses, I used burger presses that make one burger at a time. I have a couple sizes of these to make different sizes. The advantage of the single burger press is you can regulate the thickness of the burger. The disadvantages are that you must weigh the meat for each burger for consistency and you can make only one burger at a time. Making burger with this press is so much simpler, but you have less control over thickness. All you have to do is mix up 2 lbs. of your favorite burger mix. Plop the hunk of meat into one side of the press and push the meat into each section. When you put the other side on, it divides the meat into individual burgers. As you press down on the top, you can hear the air popping out of each cell. It is important to get as much air as possible out of the form to prevent freezer burn after freezing. This burger press makes 1/4 lb. burgers that are 3 1/2" in diameter and 3/4" thick and fit well in a regular sized bun. For us, this is on the small side as we would prefer burgers at least 1/3 lb. On the other hand, the 1/2 lb. burger is huge, especially after you add bacon, onion, tomato, lettuce, and whatever else you put on a burger. The 1/2 lb. size would great if they could be made thinner (less than 1/2 lb.), but then there would be air space above them that would cause freezer burn if left in the press for freezing. What I love about this hamburger press is: - It makes 8-1/4 pound burgers in a matter of a couple of minutes without having to weigh meat for each patty - The thickness of the hamburger is consistent for even cooking - It puts a dimple in the meat to prevent shrinkage and swelling of the meat - Pressing 8 burgers is super fast without weighing - Pressed burgers can be frozen and stored in the form which locks out air and prevents freezer burn. - Frozen burgers can also be stored in vacuum sealer bags. Although this size burger press may be on the small side for burgers, it's the perfect size for making breakfast sausage patties using bulk breakfast sausage. This size is perfect for the larger English muffins. My husband and I both love a good burger. Prior to getting these presses, we haven't had them very often because it was a hassle to put together the burger mix and then weight and press individual burger. Now I can freeze patties and all I have to do is cook them. Incidentally, the burgers cook great from frozen, so I don't have to allow time to defrost them before cooking. These presses have made dinner planning a whole heck of a lot simpler. UPDATE 8/13/21: I really did think these burger would be too small, but I was so wrong. The 1/2 pound were definitely too big by the time I added a mustard, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and bacon. Adding the same additions to this 1/4 pound burger, it was plenty big for my husband and I. I include sides of veggie greens and broasted potatoes or fries, and they are large enough without making us feel stuffed. These burgers are also the perfect size for regular sized buns. I use the 1/2 pound burger press for making Salisbury steak, chopped steak with gravy and onions, and patty melts. Without the bun and the burger toppings, the 1/2 pound is perfect for these dishes. UPDATE 09/13/21: After multiple uses, I noticed that sometimes it is very difficult to open the form after it is frozen - the form freezes to the contents inside it. The solution to this problem is to run warm water over both sides of the form. By doing this, the form opens easily and the product, usually burgers, can be easily removed. I hope this review was helpful for you. I will update my review if my opinion changes and if I come up with more ideas to use them.

got these when i would go to costco and get ground beef and make my own burgers. it was simple to use and easy to clean 10/10 would recommend

This is true time saver! No schmushing & shaping needed! Dump fresh meat on one side & add top lid. Done! 8 perfect burgers! They are thick and fit nicely on slider buns if grilled from a frozen patty. If cooked on a griddle, they can be smashed and fit on regular buns. Takes only a few hours to freeze. We pop out & package them in food saver bags. Great quality & dishwasher safe. PERFECTO!

The product works as described, but as others have said, the resulting patties are too small. A regular hamburger bun will cover the pre-cooked patty, and once you cook it, the bun is much larger than the patty. I still use this to portion 2 lbs of meat into 8 patties quickly, but then I have to take them out and use a separate press to make them wide enough to work with a hamburger bun.

Está súper útil práctico y ahorra mucho tiempo, con 1kg de carne formas hamburguesas de muy buen tamaño, me pareció excelente, lo recomiendo mucho!

Very handy when you’re making burgers in bulk to freeze. I’m sure I’ll be even more proficient with it the next time round!cuts down on the mess and the need for dividers when you’re making a load of them!

Good

It is so easy to use, easy to clean, and when I want a burger I can just pop it right out and place it on the grill. I plan on buying again so I can have premade pancakes ready to go in the freezer. No more getting my hands dirty.
