We like thin patties, what is the thinnest setting on Dave's Hamburger Press?

One quarter inch. Very flexible from extremely thin to very fat. It's awesome. We love it

You can set it as thin as you want. The way it adjusts is by spinning the inside part of the press, so there are unlimited settings, and you can have the inner part press against the bottom, so you can go as thin as you want!

I do not know the answer, my review that this is press is garbage. I sold it to someone else.

You can get them pretty thin. I usually make 1/4 lb burgers but you could easily do 1/8 lb. the simple screw at the time makes adjusting easy. One other tip- I use this press with Dave's patty papers. They press nicer, remove easy and make cleanup easier too. I put one on top and bottom for each patty.

Below answers are accurate - 3 choices of thicknesses to choose from - the thinnest is very nice and thin.

I have not seen a video, but the directions are clear enough to use the burger press. There are no complicated parts to mess with just twisting and pressing.

Favorites in our house is teriyaki chicken, angus burger, brisket, bacon cheese sticks and apple gouda sausage. Bummed that PTF limits to only 10 per selection. Watch out for anything marked spicy/hot - it really is!

Flour worked for me with 1 large folded sheet of parchment paper. Leave the press closed for a bit so the dough can relax. After their rise they were nice, thin burger buns.

Yes, I use 1/3 pound per-formed patties from Costco. Cooking between 360-400 four to five minutes per side. It works well for a single patty to as many as will fit on the grill.

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.

no its really small and hamburger shrinks to much.the mold is a rubber mold more for cold stuff

The diameter is 4 and 6/10 inches. So it is a little over 4 and one half inches. If you make a dimple in the middle it doesn't shrink. I like a thicker burger, so I don't use the dimple maker that comes with the press. I can easily make half pound burgers with this press and then make a dimple in the middle and grill it! I use it all the time and it should last many years. Very well made!

The digital setting is 375. Mine hit 550 (at a setting of 225). My experience with this grill was bad. Not because it was faulty, I can deal with that. Because after 12 phone calls to Treager, which require about an hour to test the "solution" given, they still wouldn't give me a different unit. The company leaves a lot to be desired. This was a gift, but not one I'd choose. 37 pounds and it has to be plugged in. Portable no harldy. At best it can cook 8 burgers due to grill size. Buy a nice little charcoal grill for $30. You'll be happier

Yes, it can be taken apart... Just unscrew and unwind everything you can, wash it and let it dry completely before putting it back together. It adjusts the thickness of the burgers by raising or lowering the "ceiling." Do this by screwing or unscrewing. The higher the ceiling, the thicker the burger. It's an awesome burger press, we've tried many far more expensive ones and this is our favorite. Keep practicing and after a few tries you'll find a rhythm. Then you'll wonder how you ever made burgers without it:-)

You can make the hamburgers any thickness you want. This set reminded me of a Tupperware set my Mom had years ago. I love it.

Haven't actually weighed them, but you can make them a pretty good size. I would say a pound of hamburger makes four good sized (thick) burgers

Not sure what you mean and how you otherwise can cook a loose ground beef. This press creates hamburgers, thin and a the same time compact. You choose the cooking time and during this phase just don't press and squeeze the juice out, leave it cooking slowly, and the meat will stay soft and tender. My wife does the hamburgers mixing the ground beef with shredded cheese, parsley, eggs and chopped bacon and then shaping with this tool. Easy and simple. Just try it, you will love it.

Yes you can make thin patties also, you control how many ounces of meat you put in the mold

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

As a rule of thumb, if the measurement of the burger, thickness, is 1/2", your burger will be about a quarter pound. This would be after you press it. You can measure the depth of the press with any ruler. Hope this helps.
