How big around is each concaved indentation? Is it as big as a burger patty? would this be good to steam burgers?

The spaces are too small for burgers unless you like small slider size ones.

yes its concave yes same size as a patty and its used for making idkis by pouring batter which is an indian delicacy , not sure if you can steam a burger

Food will still crisp, but that steam can overcook your meat if you use the same cooking times as you did with a traditional splatter guard. Given that this style is so much easier to clean than the mesh screen, I'm willing to make that trade off and just shorten the cooking time.

any burger shrinks a certain amount depending on the fat content. when pressed the patty is a little larger than the size for a bun. if the patty sticks when pressed just slide a butter knife under it and it comes right out. I LOVE MY PRESS!!

Sorry, cannot answer specific question-I use this pan to make GF hamburger buns!

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.

Depending on size or your burgers, I would say 6 burgers (3 per side). You might be able to squeeze more. This is ideal size for camping or tailgating. I wouldn't recommend it for backyard BBQ or for large family picnics. I cooked a Salmon on a Cedar plank no problem. That was 15 in long and 8 in wide plank. Fit no problem.

The inside where the patty is pressed is about 4 1/2 inches in diameter. We love this product. I buy hamburger in bulk and then we make 4 oz patties and freeze them in freezer bags with 4 patties to a bag. Make sure you buy Dave's patty paper along with it. It is worth the extra money so you don't have to cut wax paper. Plus it is a little bit thinner paper so it works better.

It all depends on what you wish to do. If all you want is to cook a couple of burgers then go with the smaller one. The clean up will be easier as well. But this thing is 7 gauge steel and that is thick and heavy. And for cooking there is nothing better than heavy gauge steel. And it has a fairly large cooking area so you can get that good ol' diner style cooking going on. But bare in mind that this is not "stainless steel". So there are proper care procedures involved. I use mine at home on the stove for that good restaurant style cooking. It goes over two burners and I can get a couple of things going on at once. Hope this has helped you some.

The burgers are 3-3/4 inches wide and as thick as you want 'em. Pressing down a thick burger with a spatula will make them wider at the start of cooking.

This is not a large size grill, more of a medium size. No yet having used it to capacity, you could probably grill a dozen patties with some working space between them.

I just cooked 4 pounds of hamburger in it this morning. I use it constantly for frying and baking. I love it.

I believe mine is that size and I bought one. The fitting is standard. I have not had any problems with it. I did find it is not heavy enough to manage a thick cookie dough but it did fine when I mixed meatballs.

I gave it as a gift but if I recall about 3/4". It did fit nicely in a four quart pan and even a fry pan if you leave the leaves open. Also key for me was the sturdiness of the feet, many of the steamer I saw at the store had feet that easily bent.

Yes. No problem at all. To minimize burger on the utensil. follow the tip and use wax paper 1/2 sheets {about 6" sq.} between each burger. Also helps separate them when frozen. Love it. Good luck.

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!

it is u shaped.it will bend to fit curved edges. the problem with it is it is only not even a 1/4 inch sides and after it is opened it does not squeeze closed. i can not use it for covering the edge of my stainless steel mud guards. i will probably pitch it.

I've not had that problem with this stainless steel steamer. With an older aluminum one, I found that if I rotated the pans I would get a better seal and the steam would stay inside, where it really needs to be. I'd contact the manufacturer (you've probably already done this) since the fit must be defective. Also, there are several canning sites--one in Georgia, one with Oregon State University and another through Utah State University Extension that may have some advice for you. You could create a better seal with some kind of a rubber ring, but that would be a bothersome fix.
