This i a top quality burger patty maker. Heavy stainless steel bottom, and perfect Porcelain Pressing Tool. Now the porcelain is glaized on top and the bottom was unglazed (dry footed in the kiln). Porcelain is vitreous when fired, and therefore is like glass after firing. Nothing will leach inside to contaminate your food. Not necessary to beach. Just wash as usual. It is quality made, and will serve you well. The 5" size when cooked, depending on the mix of your meat, it will shrink to fit the large buns. It i easy to use, pressing down is easy as it is not necessary to drive the pressing tool all the way in. You just want it to make the patty. Very easy. It is the most functional burger patty maker I have seen. Previously I used a Tupperware one. And it served me well for many years. This I will make my patties, place them on a cookie sheet, freeze, bag, and am ready to cook a nice patio burger any time. One viewer recommended placing whatever you feel like inside by putting have your patty inside, press lightly, add your stuffing, add the remainder of your patty, press and a stuffed burger. Maybe a slice of cheese, onion, or whatever you dream up. Just be sure it will cook at the same time as your burger. I think this was well designed. the Porcelain top makes this perfection, it should last a very long time.

I actually tried to cancel the order of this burger press because my Mom gave me the one my Dad had always used (cast iron, hinged, very heavy but will last forever). I used the old, heavy and heavy-duty press later that day and it worked well. But the next day, I received this press and, for grins, I took it out of the box and used it. This press did a fantastic job - I even skipped using the papers that come with it and the beef patties didn't stick. This is MUCH lighter weight and, as long as you apply even pressure, the patties come out level. I'm considering giving this as gifts to family members - it's that good.

I primarily bought this press because of it's diameter. The internal diameter of the base portion ("mold ring") is just over 4.9 inches, and the internal depth is just over 1 inch, not counting the raise of the dimple and groove creating ribs. I prefer to have finished, cooked burgers that are approximately the same size as the buns that I use. The buns I use are approximately 4 inches in diameter. I normally use 85/15 for beef burgers, add 1 tablespoon of dry seasoning per pound of meat, and make 1/3 pound patties (5-6 oz precooked).After grilling the patties, I ended up with approximately 4 inch diameter burgers that were 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick, not counting the dimple and grooves.As for the prep work of pressing the patties, I placed one piece of burger paper in the bottom of the base, then the pre-measured meat, and then pressed using the porcelain "smasher". It did not seem to make a difference for the release of the patty if I placed a piece of paper on top of the meat or not. The porcelain "smasher" is just under an 1/8 inch smaller in external diameter than the mold base internal diameter, so you will have some meat coming up around the sides of the porcelain. The pressed meat does not come out of the mold readily without shaking it upside down, even with the paper in the bottom. For that reason, I don't recommend this product for someone who plans to make 25 pounds of burgers at one time. In the future, I may try 6 inch, square paper on the bottom, so I can grab a corner of the paper to aid in the release, and maybe save the round paper for the top.The cleanup of the parts is easy enough. I prefer to hand wash them. One concern I have is that the porcelain ribs that make the indented grooves in the meat do not seem to have as much, or any glaze coating on them, in comparison to the rest of the porcelain surfaces. Due to the lack of glaze on the ribs, I am concerned that the surface is not getting completely clean during washing. For that reason, I would add a small amount of bleach to the wash water.
