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

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.

OMG!! I LOVE THIS THING!! I saw the notification that it got delivered this afternoon and purposely went out and bought 6 pounds of hamburger meat. Sad thing is now I wont need to use it again for about a month. Excellent Excellent Product!!

These are great. I add Lipton soup mix to 2-pounds of hamburger, and they are so handy to make hamburgers. Love them. I bought 3

Does what it's supposed to do,like the idea of making the patties before we go camping so we don't have to worry about patting them out

I love so easy to use. cleanup is simple

These are great. We had a big family barbecue and could mix up our burgers and store them the day before and have them ready to go all formed day of. Super easy to fill and separate.

I really like the intention product. I was just very disappointed that I was sent a used one when I bought a new one. I had to clean it immediately, I could still see the marks where it had been used before, so it wasn’t cleaned before it was even sent to me.

We love this! We were doubtful but hopefully when we bought it. We added the ground beef and hoped for the best. The burgers removed easily for the most part. We did have to let them thaw a tiny bit to break them apart where the press didn’t completely separate them. The functionality is wonderful. We separate the burgers and stack them in freezer bags for convenience. The design is great. It saves us money as we can buy meat in bulk and make our burgers. We will be buying the other sizes.
