I feel like an idiot but I need advice with this burger press or I need to change my expectations.
I’m doing 1/3 lb venison patties and using wax paper top and bottom. When I adjust the plunger thickness so that it will press the meat out to the 4.5” boundary to make consistent shape it makes uneven burgers. Thinner closest to the hinge. And also there is a thin lip around the burger where the base and plunger aren’t the exact same diameter.
To get even burgers do I need to elevate the plunger more and press it, as to not making it expand the whole 4.5” in diameter?
What the heck am I doing wrong. First time trying pressing burgers in bulk.
