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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree-Size Capacity (113, 142, 171 Grams)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMeatball Guide Rings\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimple Feature Prevents Swelling\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDishwasher Safe Two-Piece Design\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatty Sizes - 113, 142, 171 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePieces - 2-piece design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures - Meatball guide rings, centre dimple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher Safe - Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial - Food-grade plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign - Separates completely for cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Broil King Deluxe Burger Press (2-piece)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eForming Consistent Patties\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelect 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeason 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.\u003cbr\u003eCleaning and Maintenance\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeparate 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid abrasive scrubbers that scratch plastic surface creating texture where bacteria lodge. The smooth press surface cleans easily with gentle scrubbing and proper detergent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspect press periodically for cracks or damage from drops or dishwasher stress. Damaged presses may harbour bacteria in cracks requiring replacement for food safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size burger should I make?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the press make a dimple?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dimple prevents burger puffing during cooking. Proteins contract as they cook, pulling edges inward and pushing centres upward. The dimple compensates, keeping burgers flat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this for turkey or chicken burgers?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this dishwasher safe?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Both pieces withstand dishwasher cleaning without warping or degrading. Place on top rack for best results.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I get consistent burger sizes?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the meatball guide rings to form uniform meat portions before pressing.
