One of my favorite burgin' tools I have is a classic Tupperware hamburger press and freezer tubs.



Makes perfect patties every time and you can freeze them individually for future burgin.

I've never seen a burger press that makes a patty big enough.

I think my press is about 6" in diameter and with about a 6oz burg ball, it makes a half inch burg patty. Note, this isn't ideal for smash burgs, instead for good cookout grillin burgs.

Crossposting from the Kitchen Equipment thread.

I’m at home and don’t have access to my KitchenAid mixer. What are some good meat grinders? I found a burger recipe in a new cookbook I just got that calls for home-ground burgers using three kinds of beef.

food processor and very chilled meat

you can also grind in a food processor somewhat decently, and you can always just finely dice the meat for a rough grind

I mentioned that but he shot me down because he doesn't have one and would rather spend money on something he can only use for meat instead of a super handy kitchen appliance.

Long version: Decades back in Anchorage there was a burger joint owned by an Asian family that served like 30 (pulling that number from my rear end) types of burgers. They would put anything and everything (carrots, cabbage, on a burger in combinations that back then were extraordinary but the burgers were always delicious. The place burned down and was never rebuilt but I would like to try some new burger variations at home and am looking for inspiration. I've done pineapple + chipotle, pineapple + jalapeno, fried eggs + fried crispy onions, cucumbers + tomato + red onions, several different slaws, all awesome, but I want more ideas.

TLDR: I'm looking for burger topping ideas a little off the beaten path.

Shredded spaghetti squash. It's crunch like onion but adds a nice different flavor profile

I had the urge to smash some burgs.

1/4lb 80/20 Beef Ball. Smashed on a 500+ baking steel to 1/4" thick. Salt and peppered, flipped, S&P'd again. Added some low moisture mozz. Then topped with bacon on a toasted bun.

Call it a cookout or a grill

Not to get all food-safety on the thread, but isn't the reason that you can eat steak rare that the bacteria tend to sit on the outside and get killed by the heat, whereas if you mince the meat you have to cook it through to kill the bacteria?
Everything else about it is loving fantastic, though.

You should try beef tar-tar next time you see it on a menu. Blow your mind!

Most times I use fresh ground pep but today I used my beef ribs rub / almost 2 to 1 course ground to kosher salt mix.

maybe it is just me but I put a ton of s&p on my burgers. That is the last meal I care to pay attention to nutritional guidelines

It's also a S&P mixture. So while there is a lot of salt going on there, it's not completely salt.

Nice burg! I worry that any attempt at moving the plate will compromise it and the burg will be on the floor!

Simple thick bacon chee burgz. Just S&P on the beef. They came out extremely pink but were actually cooked to over 130F when taken off the grill then rested for about 10 mins while I finished up some other stuff. Bunz were a bit big for the burg but it's what I had; I feel they're still better than Raikiri's

No burgz in over two weeks. Not even a holiday weekend burg?!

I holiday burged. 80/20 beef, mozz and ched with bacon in between on a toastified and butterized bun.



Edit: Thats probably a bug that landed on the cheese. Still 10/10.

At first I was going to comment on the lack of cheese but then I saw you triple stacked your burg like a boss. Keep on burging!

When you get a big thick burg from a restaurant, do you just dive in or do you cut it in half and work from the middle to the outside?

Fenris13 posted:

Maybe by the middle he means the edge side where you cut at?

Correct. It's like cutting a PB&J sandwich. You don't eat the all the crust first. You start at the edge or middle and work your way through the rest of the sammy.

I've not burged (or posted) in a while.

Figured it's time to correct that.



Fried chicken thighs, marinated in my own special blend carolina reaper hot sauce, with a herb seasoned flour dredge, topped with cheddar slices, lettuce, shallot, and a garlic, dill and pickle mayo, in brioche.

Working from home has it's upsides.

Ya still haven't burged in awhile.

Top notch chicken sammy though. Definitely would.
