Will this press make stuffed burgers?

Really not sure if you're able to "stuff" the burgers with this press. The diameter of the press makes a nice size burger but not sure you're able to change the size enough to "stuff" them. We have not been disappointed at all with it. We put wax paper on the top layer so the meat doesn't get into the top and it works great! You can make several up and freeze them too! Hope this answer helped.

Yes! With the adjustment for the thickness of the burger you will have no problem stuffing whatever you like.

I'm sure it could. I put the dough between plastic wrap to press . The only thing is, the press does not flatten the dough all the way. It needed more leverage. I still had to roll out the dough by hand.

I don't think the press would work without using one of the design plates. Without one of them, I think you'd just be forcing out a huge cylinder of dough, if anything. I've seen other presses that have 'plain' plates. As far as making things easier, that's not what I think of when I use this press. I've been mostly underwhelmed with its usefulness and performance. My old Mirro and newer Marcato/Atlas are far superior to this piece of flimsy, plastic junk from OXO.

No I am not cooking chicken breasts nor burgers on the panini press. I'm an avid griller on my outdoor gas grill and I use it at least once a week to grill chicken or fresh ground beef or turkey burgers so there would never be an occasion that I would grill those items on the panini press. I used for sandwiches of all kind on wraps or artisan bread. Of course you can cook both of those items on it though. I used it a lot to cook bacon easily and fast. You have to watch that bacon because it cooks fast. Sorry I couldn't be of much help on this question.

Hi RoZ, No need for burger papers. If you use the insert that has the popped up circle, that will pull the burger out nicely. You can also use cooking spray if you're unsure! Hope that helps!

I would say yes. We have made paninis and cooked meats of varying thicknesses and the top of the press can "adjust" to appropriately "sandwich" whatever we are cooking.

I've never tried it but I don't see why it wouldn't. I've used it to ground cubes of beef for making burgers and it came out good.

I don't understand why you would have to "cure or pre-cure" the press. It is not heated up like a cast iron skillet. I did not cure or pre cure mine (but used the plastic bag because I am gluten free) and my flours respond differently. In any case it worked fine.

Yes it will. Just remember to watch your strength as the bottom plate is a bit too thin and will bow up at the connection points. The press works great with all that I use it for, just needs a thicker bottom plate.

I stuffed cheese in my burgers using this and the burgers turned out awesome!

They will be as thick as you make them. It all depends on how much hamburger you put in to press. Love this product. Once you press them, if you are not going to eat them right away you can stack between wax paper and freeze for later use.

The cooking time doesn't change a whole lot. The pocket press makes the shell of the burger fairly thin.

Probably, but it's bulky heavy to haul - those small presses would work better

With the press and ring you can make the burgers as thick or thin as you want. The storage units are good for up to a half inch.

I bought mine from the woman who designed it and had it commissioned. She said it wasn't built with those cheeses in mind, but you could keep it hand tight by every hour or so just going in and turning the knob hand tight. If you use a tool, like a wrench, you can pull the press apart. As tight as an average person can turn it is sufficient to knot the warm curd together for a cheddar style cheese.

Hi Tonya,I am not sure of the weight of the patty but I have a few suggestions on using the hamburger press. Put wax paper on the bottom of the press, put enough raw meat that the press will overflow. Put wax paper on the top of the meat and press down hard. The press will make a perfect shaped patty and the meat will come off of the wax paper easily. If any excess meat does not fall off just take it off gently with your hands and pat the sides to keep a nice edge. I can't wait until it warms up a bit to start grilling.
