DOH! I went and did it

Remember bigger burgers will require a bigger burger bun, roll your own. RAY

The burger sticking out past the bun makes the meat look even bigger! Like holding a fish out at arms length or skipping leg day.......

Cool looking burger press, but the hat is even better.

OK, so here's the write-up.

Ground a brisket this morning.
So, part of it was for burgers (5 oz.), and was a good time to test the new toy.

Pretty happy with it. Only 2 complaints.
First one is the papers. The holes in them lets grease get on lower platen an makes removing the pattie a little harder.
If solid, I suspect they would slide off eazy peazy.

Second complaint is about me. Haha
I forgot all about the button on the side.
You press the button and the lower platen drops down, leaving room for the meat ball to have plenty of clearance with the upper platen.,
You can see in pic 2 I was pressing them down so the upper platen would clear when it swings over.

After realizing the error of my ways, I'm very happy with it.
Just have to some Googling to find solid 5" round patty papers.
The "round" part might be the challenge.

Will check tomorrow. Gotta get the other brisket ready for tonight's trip to the smoker.

Here's where the idiot (me) was smashing a bit so upper platen would clear.

Appreciate the review, Bruce...

Forgot to mention "really easy to use".
The one this is replacing needed a lot of pressure to do the job.
This is so easy with that long arm. Very little pressure needed to form the patty.

I've been looking at these since this post was started. It's been a couple of months, do you @02ebz06 still think it is a good purchase?

Neat looking gizmo!

Bought something from my "Want, but don't need" list.
A pretty slick burger press.
Comes with 1000 papers.

Ready position:

Press the button on side, tray drops, put paper in, ground beef, and another paper on top:

Pull lever up, raises burger, slide burger off, and you are back to where you started:

Nice. Looking for a press for breakfast sausages.
