Elizabeth Karmel's Steakhouse Burger Press, Silicone-Coated

What makes this burger press a flat-out success?? For those who crave a great steakhouse burger ¿ meat or veggie - at home - the Grill Friends¿ Steakhouse Burger Press makes the job easy. This is the first burger press made with a thumbprint indentation to assure even cooking, so burgers don't round-out while they cook. "The thumbprint is a little-known restaurant technique; the chef makes the patties and puts an indentation in the middle of the burger with his finger. As the burger cooks and the meat fibers expand, the hole is filled in and you have a perfectly flat, even burger, explains Grill Friends creator Elizabeth Karmel. This burger press makes the thumbprint for you, for better burgers every time. Designed to turn out uniform patties perfectly shaped for grilling, this Grill Friends burger press is a handy tool for hamburger junkies. Made by Elizabeth Karmel, a renowned grilling expert and founder of Girls at the Grill, the piece makes up to 3/4-pound burgers for grilling or freezing. A compact, two-piece unit, the press makes a "thumbprint" indentation in each patty, a feature that prevents burgers from rising at the center while cooking. Made from sturdy plastic, the press is coated with silicone for easier release and goes in the dishwasher for simplified cleanup. --Emily Bedard
