This Little Press Made My Hamburgers So Much Better

BURGER OF THE DAY

As opposed to just smushing burgers with your hands, this press helps me make a consistent burger every single time.

Scouting Report: Consistency is the name of the game and this press helps me achieve a perfectly round, perfectly cooked burger everytime I make one.

Consistency is exactly what Cuisinart’s Adjustable Burger Press offers. Unlike other burger presses that are basically a cast iron spatula, this press allows you to adjust to find your perfect hamburger thickness with just the turn of a dial. Because it’s a circle shape mold, it makes a perfectly shaped pattie everytime, which is also way better than my smush it together method. It’s incredibly easy to use: just slip a piece of parchment paper on the bottom, load it up with ground meat, and press away. The burger removes from the non-stick surfaces, no problem, ensuring your burgers are always restaurant quality in appearance.

But if you think about it, appearance isn’t really why a burger is so great. By ensuring the burgers are a certain thickness throughout, cooking them on the grill is way easier and therefore makes better burgers. There’s no extra-rare burgers or extra-well done burgers going around at my place. Instead, this little press has helped me hone in on the perfect cooking time for each and every burger. I’m thinking I should start a restaurant.
