Things to Consider Before Choosing The Best Burger Press
Size & Capacity
Your very first step before considering to buy a press should be to know about the press’ size as well as its capacity because how many burgers can be made at a time as well as its dimension is a big factor that MUST be considered. You won’t just be making burgers for yourself, will you? What if you throw a BBQ for at least 10 people? In such scenarios, you need to be prepared and must have a press that will do the magic.
When considering the dimension it’s better to research beforehand about the standard measurements of the diameter, thickness, and weight of the press because if your press fulfills all of these requirements you will be able to make restaurant-styled burgers at home.
Material
This probably is the most important thing to consider. Because your press’ durability depends on it. So far from the above descriptions, there is just two option to choose from.
Plastic
Better option for those who are looking for a press that is easy to handle and light, at the same time, budget friendly as well. A plastic press would survive a couple of BBQ parties a year. It might be best if used infrequently.
Aluminum
If you prefer something long-lasting and unbreakable aluminum is the option for you. It is strong, yet light. Something you don’t get to see in many metal presses. If you are looking for a press for its durability than a metal or aluminum press if for you. A press made of aluminum may not need to have a non-stick coating to provide a smooth release; it itself has a smooth finishing providing the same benefits of a non-stick press.
Surface
Well, this is something you should ever neglect. Without a doubt, your first and foremost priority should be choosing a non-stick press. No matter what!! Because trust me you would not like to scarp the mess off of your burger press once you are done with it. It’s messy and YUCK!!
Price
This factor should be a concern because you are working so hard not to spend it all on an extremely expensive but not so durable press. We normally don’t see a high-quality, durable product that is budget-friendly at the same time. Does not mean it does not exist. Do a little research before you buy. It is there.
Maintenance
Suppose you get the best, budget-friendly press but even being non-stick you still created a mess. What will you do? How will you clean? Is it dishwasher safe? Do you need to wash by hands? Cleaning is mandatory after every time you cook because it diminishes the risk of infecting your food with food-borne pathogens. Something that should not be taken so lightly if you want to avoid food poisoning.
Therefore, go for a press that is easily detachable and easy to clean. Something that has too many parts and full of complexity is a no-no in this regard. And make sure your press is dry after you clean to avoid rust.
Storage
Invest in something that has all the qualities mentioned above at the same time does not take up the whole side of a kitchen counter. Buy a press that is durable, high-quality and takes less space. Also, that can be carried with you if you are going on camping trips. In this case, choosing a plastic press would be wise. It is light, takes small storage space, easy to clean and can definitely be carried elsewhere.
