can you make 8oz (1/2lb) patties with this ?

Yes. Weigh the meat prior to placing it in the press. The diameter of the patty is fixed but the thickness will vary based on the volume of meat.

I never tried it but it's close I think so ,it go very hi in side for a lots of room for a big big Berger

Yes you can weigh your meat and then raise the pressing plate. You'll find the measurements on the stem.

My husband likes to make his own patties, and they are quarter pounder size or larger. It will fit 4 good size burgers, or about 6 average size burgers.

I've made a few batches with it and have only made one-quart batches and they have been fine. I don't see why you couldn't do it with a half-quart batch, or smaller. I also haven't made a full batch (two quarts). Hopefully that was a little helpful.

I've never tried it myself, but I don't see why you couldn't. I just used it this morning to roll out a pie crust. Keeps the mess contained and gives you a reference of how big to make it.

The steel is quite thin, so you could at a low temp. You could do it just long enough to make meat gravy but you will need to hold the edge with an oven glove while you're stirring.

My husband wanted 1/3 pound patties - the one I purchased is 5 inches in diameter.

I've never cooked 1/2 pound......I usually do only 1/4 lb and it works great with just enough water to cover

yes, you can take it completly apart except for the hindge. The press adjustment makes paper thin or ultra thick burgers. My first time using it I made the thinest pattie I could and they were too thin. 2nd time I adjusted to 1/4 pounders. they were the perfect berger. But it will make a thicker than 1/4 pounder which i did not try. I line both sides of the press with saran wrap then press... easy and no clean up mess. Wax paper will bleed through

If you're talking bread machine 2 lb loaf the answer is no. Even a 1 1/2 pounder is sometimes too big.

Yes you can. Just make sure you do not over fill. I use mine to make anything "bready".

Yes you can, I've used mine for cooking bulk sausage into pattys and I've also cooked eggs in it.
1238716
yes, I think you can. I have seen many recipes with meats 3-4lbs for the demi. What doesn't fit, cut in half. Cutting meats has not been a problem, since you will probably cut into slices before serving.

You can do up to 3/4" x 4-1/4". That is, three quarters of an inch by four inches and one quarter. Weight? IDK. You can do thinner if you want.Side comment, I think I paid $5 for mine and once I received it it seemed a little bit a little too much. Its not a robust item, I can see it breaking after couple dozen patties or less... just FYI.

I wouldn't use it for an 8" square pan unless it's okay for your cake or brownies to be awfully small (that is, not very tall). If that's not an issue, then of course it COULD be done. Just don't expect them to be very substantial portions.

I have not tried to but I do not see why not. By small I would think 1 quart instead of the 1.5 to 2qt batches that I have made so far.

You need to pre-weigh the meat first, then it makes a perfect patty. Be sure to use patty papers to keep everything neat.

Really not sure if you're able to "stuff" the burgers with this press. The diameter of the press makes a nice size burger but not sure you're able to change the size enough to "stuff" them. We have not been disappointed at all with it. We put wax paper on the top layer so the meat doesn't get into the top and it works great! You can make several up and freeze them too! Hope this answer helped.
