With this handy tool, you can create a perfectly shaped meat patty—the so-called burger patty—in just two steps: Place the ground meat into the lower half of the press, then place the upper half on top and secure it using the bayonet lock. A light press on the plate-shaped handle then shapes the meat into an even, flat patty.
We source this hamburger press, made of die-cast aluminum and stainless steel, from an Italian metalworking company that has been manufacturing kitchen gadgets on Lake Orta in Piedmont for 50 years. Even in the early days, the company was already working on a product that has since become an Italian classic: it produced parts for Alfonso Bialetti’s Moka Express, the ubiquitous Italian espresso pot with its faceted aluminum body designed for the stovetop.
