Broil King Deluxe Burger Press
Two-piece burger press forms consistent burger patties for grilling. Meatball guide rings create uniform meat portions before pressing, ensuring consistent patty size across multiple burgers. Built-in dimple feature presses centre indent preventing burger swelling and maintaining flat shape during grilling. Dishwasher-safe construction enables convenient cleanup after burger preparation. Two-piece design separates for thorough cleaning. Compatible with ground beef, turkey, chicken, lamb, and alternative meat products. Available at our Wetherill Park showroom from an Authorised Broil King Stockist in Australia.
The Broil King Deluxe Burger Press addresses the common problems of inconsistent burger sizes and patty swelling during cooking. The meatball guide rings provide visual portion control, creating uniform meat balls before pressing ensures every burger cooks at the same rate. The centre dimple prevents the bulging that occurs when burger edges cook faster than centres, causing patties to puff into dome shapes that don't fit buns properly.
The three-size capacity (113, 142, 171 grams) accommodates different appetites and bun sizes without requiring multiple presses. Standard burger buns suit 113-gram patties, while larger artisan buns require 142 or 171-gram portions for proper proportion. The adjustable sizing eliminates the guesswork in portioning raw meat for different burger styles.
The dishwasher-safe construction simplifies cleanup compared to hand-wash-only presses requiring scrubbing to remove stuck meat and fat. The two-piece design separates completely allowing water and detergent to reach all surfaces, preventing bacterial growth in hard-to-clean crevices.
We stock the Broil King Deluxe Burger Press at our Wetherill Park showroom. As an Authorised Broil King Stockist in Australia, we carry Broil King Imperial and Regal gas grills plus accessories. Our seven years of BBQ experience includes understanding proper burger preparation techniques.
Key Features
Three-Size Capacity (113, 142, 171 Grams)
The press forms patties in 113, 142, or 171-gram sizes accommodating different burger styles and bun sizes. The portion flexibility eliminates owning multiple presses for different applications. Select size based on bun diameter and desired meat-to-topping ratio.
The smallest 113-gram setting creates standard fast-food-style burgers suited to regular hamburger buns. The middle 142-gram option produces substantial patties for everyday grilling fitting most commercial burger buns. The largest 171-gram capacity forms thick restaurant-style burgers matching oversized artisan buns or serving hungry appetites.
The size selection also enables creating sliders by using the 113-gram setting with slider buns, or making double-patty burgers by stacking two pressed patties. The versatility suits everything from casual weeknight dinners to special occasion grilling.
Meatball Guide Rings
The integrated guide rings create uniform meat portions before pressing. Form ground meat into balls matching ring diameter, then press into consistent patties. The pre-forming step ensures even thickness from centre to edge, preventing thin spots that overcook or thick areas remaining undercooked.
The rings eliminate the common problem of eyeballing meat portions, which creates burgers ranging from 85 to 200 grams on the same grill. Inconsistent sizes mean some burgers finish while others remain raw, or all burgers overcook waiting for the largest to reach safe temperature.
The visual guides also speed up preparation when making multiple burgers, as the consistent portioning becomes automatic after first few patties. The efficiency particularly benefits large gatherings where dozens of burgers require forming in limited prep time.
Dimple Feature Prevents Swelling
The press creates centre indent preventing burger doming during cooking. As burgers cook, proteins contract pulling edges inward and pushing centres upward. The dimple compensates for this contraction, maintaining flat surface that cooks evenly and fits bun geometry.
Without the dimple, burgers develop pronounced dome shape during grilling, creating thick centre requiring extended cooking to reach safe temperature while edges overcook and dry out. The dome also creates unstable burger that rolls toppings off and doesn't sit flat on bun.
The dimpled burger maintains contact with cooking surface across entire patty bottom, ensuring even browning and proper sear development. The flat geometry also creates uniform thickness allowing accurate cooking time estimation rather than guessing when thick centre reaches target temperature.
Dishwasher Safe Two-Piece Design
The separated construction enables complete cleaning in dishwasher. Both pieces withstand dishwasher temperatures and detergents without warping or degradation. The full separation prevents meat residue lodging in gaps between components.
The two-piece design also facilitates hand washing when preferred, as each component cleans easily without hard-to-reach areas. The simple geometry means no crevices, corners, or joints where ground meat hides and creates bacterial growth between uses.
The dishwasher compatibility particularly benefits busy cooks preparing multiple meals weekly, as throwing press in dishwasher saves the scrubbing time required for cleaning stuck meat and fat from manual-wash tools. The time saving encourages more frequent homemade burger preparation.

How to Use
Forming Consistent Patties
Select desired patty size based on bun dimensions and appetite. Portion ground meat into ball using meatball guide rings as size reference. Form meat into loose ball without excessive compression that creates dense, tough burgers.
Place meat ball in press centre and close press firmly creating patty. The dimple forms automatically during pressing. Avoid over-pressing which squeezes moisture from meat creating dry burgers. Light, firm pressure creates proper patty without compacting meat excessively.
Remove formed patty from press and place on parchment paper or plate. Avoid stacking raw patties directly on each other as weight compresses bottom burgers. Use parchment sheets between layers if stacking required.
Season patties after forming rather than mixing seasonings into ground meat. Surface seasoning provides better flavour without requiring salt penetration through entire patty thickness. The formed patties accept rubs, salt, pepper, and other seasonings easily.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Separate two press pieces immediately after use for easier cleaning. Rinse under warm water removing loose meat particles before they dry and stick. Load both pieces in dishwasher or hand wash with warm soapy water and soft sponge.
Avoid abrasive scrubbers that scratch plastic surface creating texture where bacteria lodge. The smooth press surface cleans easily with gentle scrubbing and proper detergent.
Dry press pieces completely before reassembling or storing. Water trapped between pieces during storage creates conditions for bacterial or mould growth. Store in clean, dry location protecting from dust and contamination.
Inspect press periodically for cracks or damage from drops or dishwasher stress. Damaged presses may harbour bacteria in cracks requiring replacement for food safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size burger should I make?
Use 113 grams for standard buns, 142 grams for larger buns, 171 grams for artisan buns or hungry appetites. Consider meat shrinkage during cooking when matching patty to bun size.
Why does the press make a dimple?
The dimple prevents burger puffing during cooking. Proteins contract as they cook, pulling edges inward and pushing centres upward. The dimple compensates, keeping burgers flat.
Can I use this for turkey or chicken burgers?
Yes. The press works with any ground meat including turkey, chicken, lamb, pork, and plant-based alternatives. The dimple feature particularly benefits poultry burgers prone to excessive shrinkage.
Is this dishwasher safe?
Yes. Both pieces withstand dishwasher cleaning without warping or degrading. Place on top rack for best results.
How do I get consistent burger sizes?
Use the meatball guide rings to form uniform meat portions before pressing. This ensures consistent size and thickness across all burgers.
Can I make sliders with this press?
Yes. Use the 113-gram setting with slider buns for perfect slider-sized patties.
Will this work with frozen burger patties?
No. This press forms fresh ground meat into patties. It does not reshape or modify pre-formed frozen burgers.

FAQs
General
1. What makes Broil King different from other gas grills?
Broil King engineers their grills around technology that most gas grill manufacturers do not offer at any price. The patented Dual-Tube burners produce broader, more consistent heat across the cooking surface than standard tube burners. The Flav-R-Wave vaporisation system converts dripping fat into flavour smoke rather than flare-ups, closing the gap between gas and charcoal results. The dual independent cookboxes give you genuine zone control that a single shared cooking chamber cannot replicate. These are not marketing features. They change how the grill performs every time you cook on it.
2. Are Broil King grills suitable for both everyday cooking and entertaining?
Yes. The Regal and Imperial ranges are built to handle everything from a midweek family dinner to a large group gathering. The dual independent cookboxes let you run different cooking zones simultaneously, searing on one side while roasting on the other, or run the full surface at high heat for larger cooks. The included rotisserie kit and side burner across all models extend your options further without any additional investment.
3. Who are Broil King grills best suited for?
Broil King suits anyone who cooks on gas regularly and wants results and build quality that a standard gas grill cannot deliver. The Regal range is the right choice for buyers who want a premium freestanding grill they will not need to replace. The Imperial range suits buyers who are building or upgrading an outdoor kitchen and want a built-in grill engineered to the same standard. Both ranges carry a 15-year warranty and are backed by BBQ Republic as an authorised dealer in Sydney.
Maintenance
1. How do I maintain a Broil King grill for long-term performance?
Clean the cooking grids and Flav-R-Wave panels after each use while the grill is still warm. Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Check the burner tubes periodically for blockages and clear any debris from the cookbox. Empty and wipe out the grease tray regularly to prevent buildup. Cover freestanding Regal models when not in use to protect metal components from weather exposure. With regular basic maintenance, Broil King grills are built to deliver consistent performance for many years.
2. Do Broil King grills require special cleaning products?
No special products are required. Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth or non-abrasive brush for the cooking grids and Flav-R-Wave panels. Avoid steel wool or abrasive cleaners on stainless steel surfaces as these will scratch the finish. A stainless steel cleaner can be used periodically on the exterior to maintain appearance, but it is not essential for performance.
3. How often should I clean a Broil King grill?
Clean the cooking grids and Flav-R-Wave panels after every use. A deeper clean of the cookbox interior, including removing and cleaning the Flav-R-Wave panels and checking the grease tray, should be done every four to six cooks depending on usage. The more consistently you maintain the grill the better it will perform and the longer it will last.
