Useful Kitchen Gadgets: Part One: Tupperware Hamburger Press

There are so many kitchen gadgets available on the market today, many of them quite useful, many more of them not. I thought I'd write every now and then about some of my favorite kitchen gadgets.

First up is my Tupperware Hamburger Press system. As far as I know you can't get these new anymore, but there are many available on Ebay and other sites. Now, of course you can make patties by hand, but when you have seven people to make patties for these make the work a lot quicker, easier and cleaner!

The set includes a press, sleeve/ring, patty freezer keepers and lid(s).

Start off with your ground meat mix. A perfect mix is made of either ground beef or turkey, egg and spices.






Insert sleeve/ring into one of the patty freezer keepers. Scoop out some of the meat mix (about 1/3 cup) into the keeper.





Get your press....








And press and turn gently.








The result :)








Remove sleeve/ring.








Snap another keeper onto the bottom keeper.








Repeat, and then snap on the lid. If you plan on using the burgers immediately, put them in the freezer for half an hour or so to firm them up before grilling. Otherwise, put in the freezer and remove when needed.
