How to make a perfectly shaped burger!
I was watching a cooking video by Miyoko Schinner of Artisan Vegan Life where she used this simple trick to make perfectly round evenly sized veggie burgers. Take a clean lid from a peanut butter jar or any jar that has a lid the size you would like your burgers to be – line it with a piece of plastic wrap.
As you can see in the background, I pat my veggie burger mix into a a rectangle and score it into serving sizes, then scoop each serving size into the lid and make the top smooth. This is a double batch of the P.S. Chorizo Patties one of my favorites.
Flip it over and the burger just falls out! How cool is that? It’s so easy and your hands don’t get all gunked up with the burger mixture.
So simple–never thought of it! Used this tip tonight–worked perfectly.
Its so easy and works like a charm – I love it!
I ordered one of those FatDaddio pasty rings to use. In my old meat eating days I used the Tupperware burger maker–similar. Your method is cheap and easy!
Hi Jude! Well I have to give credit to Miyoko Schinner it was her idea that I shared – but you are so right – its fast easy and cheap!
I appreciate your helpful tips Tami. I’m definitely going to try this next time I make veggie burgers. I use food service gloves and that helps with the messiness.
Thank you!
Hi Sheri Lee,
Using food service gloves is a great idea! It makes for easy clean up too!
Happy Cooking,
Tami
Just tried this and it is pure genius!
