Make your own Hamburger Patties! (Save Big Money!)

[@ramblingobservations]

We used an Ice cream scoop (the kind with a spring handle) to measure the burger meat where I worked

[@ZX587X]

I bought a plastic burger press from the Dollar general and it works great. Can't adjust the thickness and you have to grease it before use, but it works great and I probably paid like $2 for it.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Great idea!!

[@CWBush73]

Trying to make something simple that has been around for decades fancy and new.

[@NoNameNoFace162]

I have used a Mason jar lid and cling wrap to press out burgers too.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Great tip!👍😃

[@juanbarron1081]

Love this guy wish he was still here much love

[@salvoembers3263]

I have a similar gadget but I bought it at harbor freight tools. I think it was $5. It's a lot smaller than reds but makes perfect 1/4 pound patties. I didn't know about the paper so I'm going to check that out. Thanks Red!

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thanks for watching!! :)

[@Spartan1234ish]

I like the papers your using to keep the hamburger from sticking. It beats using plastic sandwiches bags.

[@brians4537]

What a great video! I always find the 1/4 lb (4 oz) burger patties at the store too much and you show how to make a great 1/5 lb (3.3 oz) patty. Thanks so much!

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

You are so welcome!

[@charleswilson4598]

Not wearing gloves but it is my hamburger. Yes! I have seen so many videos where someone will criticize or instruct the cook about using clean hands on their food. Who the hell cares? It is their food and they are the one who is eating it. I don't always wash my hands when I am cooking and I ain't dead yet.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

He washed his hands a'lot right before he started filming and he also had a bowl of water off screen with water and a towel to wash cause that gets the meat off his hands easier also. But that is right he was in his own home like most everyone else is. Glad your not dead yet, We want you here watching these shows and cooking up some great meals! :)

[@DaddysFastestSwimmer]

I guess people dont understand why we cook meat in the first place.

[@holderbee7811]

The gloves are not to protect the burger. They are worn so you can take them off after touching the burger, and you don't get bacteria on everything. In food service it's a lot easier than washing your hands all the time

[@Harlem55]

Animal blood is a biohazard until its cooked. There is such things as zoonotic infections as Covid demonstrates first hand, having come from bats used as food. And given his treatment of the cow, i doubt this guy wants to travel to India, the point being thst some other cultures in the world consider the cow not to be eaten in the manner we view the bat.

[@Harlem55]

@@holderbee7811 use of gloves is not a substitute for proper hand hygine- as your hands sweat in the glove youre creating a petri dish inside the glove, being warm, dark and wet. They did some research where they wore a pair of gloves for an hour, the gloves were removed, and then collected swabs, with normal hands and then hands that had been subjected to a full surgical scrub were swabbed as a control. The species found on the hands that had been gloved had particularly high couns of S. Areus ans S. Pyrogenes. Both of these have potential to be antibiotic resistant and therefore potentially can cause rather severe infections.

Nice video Steve, I also have been doing this for years. Saves allot of money, started to grind my own also, still working on the right mix. thanks for posting you 2.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

U bet! Good luck! Thanks Steve

[@steponmemommy9323]

Miss you, Steve! I make my own patties almost exactly like yours, but I use a small digital scale to weigh mine. 1/4 pound, 1/2 pound, etc. Don't forget that you can press the thing shaped like a dome at the very top of the patty press to really help flatten the patties. But your patties looked perfect either way!

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thanks for watching and sharing what you said. 👩‍🍳🇺🇸👩‍🍳

[@francoisroberge5882]

Screwing it down is a good idea. I use a scale to get exact weight for consistency. Make a ball with 113 gm for 1/4 pounder then squeeze away.

[@rick-ps5ct]

I bought a press at harbor freight.$5 or $10..can't remember...got a 10# digital scale at Aldi's for $10..it weighs up to 10# at a .10 of an ounce...every patty can be same weight and not have to pound it out of measuring cup...roll into a flat ball first, then use patty press...

[@DanielMartinez-gz1hs]

RIP Big Guy thanks for the videos the recipes live on

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

You’re so welcome!

[@sharonlatour6230]

I love your little gadget for forming the burgers!

[@redmist5166]

We did them the same way in out restaurant but we weighed them instead of measuring. Faster and easier.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Good idea! I am getting a scale soon.. Thanks Steve

[@nickgironda4002]

"It's my hamburger so I don't care" I LOVE IT! Thanks Steve and Mz Sheila!

[@Ghanshyam00000]

This gadget give us perfect measurment bulk hamburger or any meat if burger because if we make hands i dont think so every hambuger we can't make perfect thanks this video is extremely crucial thanks.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

So true!

[@instantsiv]

Try the freezer section... I've often found frozen hamburger patties around the same price as the chubs.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jarvellwilson7394]

Omg I Love this video thank you I always had problems trying to figure out how much meat to use. I’m going to use a measuring cup for now. Thank you.

Glad it was helpful!

[@jarvellwilson7394]

@@CookingwithShotgunRed I have a question too sir?

[@Esonar]

4:55 😢 I'm the one that's been foolish enough to buy the patties. Thank you for showing me the light!

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Your so welcome! 👍😊

[@trippleslots]

Really enjoyed the video. We purchased one of these and the first time it worked great . the 2nd go round was not so good. Glad I found your video on how to use the press After seeing you do the wax paper trick, I will try that next time. I think our meat was a bit to warm as well which caused an issue when making. Do you chill yours before mashing ? Thanks for a great Video on how to use this. Question maybe you can answer what is the purpose of the plunger ? I see no reason for having a push capability and yet ,you can't push it down

[@ronheath6559]

Weston burger maker Looks very similar, but has an extended back that doesn’t allow to dip over. I purchase mine on Amazon got it in one day.

[@rl4499]

I use plastic wrap and put it on the bottom, put the hamburger on top, cover with the extra plastic wrap and press. They come out all wrapped and ready for the freezer.

[@dbergum1]

debating getitng myself burger press, since i find it a pain to handcraft my patties and it gets expensive buying premade patties.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Yes you will love your own burger press. Those pre made ones are more expensive and just for convenience. Thank you for watching! 👍😃 shotgunred.com

[@dbergum1]

I just ordered the LEM Burger press and papers......

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Fantastic!!! 👍😁 shotgunred.com

[@Spartan1234ish]

I would buy the already made hamburgers because the other hamburger that is cheaper is covered by wrap that keeps you from seeing the meat. I’d rather see what I’m buying.

[@donferron5352]

Just purchased the Weston version = looks identical. About what is the weight of the 1/2 cup burger? BTW - I grind my own burger as well. That way I can make as greasy or lean as I want.

Walmart has a 10lb roll for $31 not sure where you are but 5lbs is usually more expensive than 10lb roll!

i tried walmart frozen patties and the tube hamburger its cheap but i found u cant beat the quality of the butcher shop no bone chips or chunks of fat 80/20 is all i buy
