Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Elizabeth Karmel's Silicone-Coated Steakhouse Burger Press
Customer Review: Best burger press to date...great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have over half dozen burger presses....plastic, aluminum, non-stick, etc.
This is the first one that the formed patty slides out of the base, so quickly and so easily. All of the non-stick presses that I have tried simply did not work....same for the plastic ones. The meat whether cold or at room temperature, would always stick. I'd have to pry the meat out of the press, destroying the patty shape in the process.
This Grill Friends Press is absolutely awesome. Burgers form easily, with little pressure, and are not overly compressed. The meat does not press out of the sides, as in other presses. After forming the patty, all you have to do is remove the top, by pulling up on the side of the upper body of the press. Don't pull by the red cap. I weigh the meat portions for uniformity of patties. The red cap, and the black parts of the press are made of plastic, while the red inner part of the base is made of silicone.
I recently disposed of all the old useless plastic hamburg presses that I have accumulated, over the years. Each one of them could have been a good
press if they only had that silicone lining in the base, as does the Grill Friends Steakhouse Burger Press.
Description of Elizabeth Karmel's Silicone-Coated Steakhouse Burger Press
What makes this burger press a flat-out success?? For those who crave a great steakhouse burger ¿ meat or veggie - at home - the Grill Friends¿ Steakhouse Burger Press makes the job easy. This is the first burger press made with a thumbprint indentation to assure even cooking, so burgers don't round-out while they cook. "The thumbprint is a little-known restaurant technique; the chef makes the patties and puts an indentation in the middle of the burger with his finger. As the burger cooks and the meat fibers expand, the hole is filled in and you have a perfectly flat, even burger, explains Grill Friends creator Elizabeth Karmel. This burger press makes the thumbprint for you, for better burgers every time.Designed to turn out uniform patties perfectly shaped for grilling, this Grill Friends burger press is a handy tool for hamburger junkies. Made by Elizabeth Karmel, a renowned grilling expert and founder of Girls at the Grill, the piece makes up to 3/4-pound burgers for grilling or freezing. A compact, two-piece unit, the press makes a "thumbprint" indentation in each patty, a feature that prevents burgers from rising at the center while cooking. Made from sturdy plastic, the press is coated with silicone for easier release and goes in the dishwasher for simplified cleanup. --Emily Bedard
