I have made hamburgers for years for my family. I have always made them according to the size of my hands, which are small. One night when we ate at our friends house, Donna and Arthur, they were having hamburgers. I noticed how big her hamburgers were and I couldn't get over it. They looked like the nice patties you get in the supermarket that are perfectly shaped and about a 1/2 inch thick. I watched how she made them and tried to duplicate it at home myself. Mine still came out very small and kind of like a small hockey puck.
One day, while shopping I came across this gadget. Surely I thought to myself this was the answer to making better shaped hamburgers. So, I tried it according to directions and the meat kept sticking to the plastic and falling apart. Out of frustration, I was inspired to try some wax paper. So, I cut a piece out and laid it on top of the bottom half of the press. I put the hamburg on top of that and placed another piece of wax paper on top of that. Then I put the top piece of the press over that and pressed down. Viola, no more sticking. I pulled the top off and the top piece of wax paper. Then I lifted out the pattie by lifting the bottom piece of wax paper. I pulled the wax paper away from the hamburger and there was a perfectly shaped hamburger worthy of my husbands and sons hands. This was something they could sink there teeth into.
