No Wimpy Burgers For Me!
585431
I love this thing!  I used it for the first time just last night to make some lean beef burgers, and it worked beautifully!  The patties more or less retained their shape, and, more importantly, DIDN'T SWELL UP!  Yeah, I can make patties by hand, but it always seemed like, no matter what I did, they always turned out thicker than I wanted them, even when I put a thumbprint in them.  If there's one piece of advice I would give, it would be to pack your meat together before pressing, because one of my patties did fall apart.  I used an ice cream scoop to put a few bits of meat into the press and pressed, but I didn't pack the meat together, so the meat didn't hold together too well.  And my favorite feature is the measuring unit on the side for quarter-pound, third-pound, or half-pound burgers!  No wimpy burgers for me!

I tried these for the first time...purchased and put straight into the freezer. They are individually wrapped, so you can easily just take out one bun. I let it thaw on the counter while I was making a hamburger, then popped it into the microwave for 10 seconds, just to warm it a bit. OH MY GOODNESS....this is delicious. Very Soft, Fluffy, no rubbery texture at all and held up with a 7 ounce big burger patty! I will be buying more. Can't wait to try BBQ on a bun next!!!

Got it quickly and used it the same day! This is
An awesome burger press. I've tried a few and have been satisfied, but the Silicone Burger Press is really something to get excited about. I throw the meat in there and carry the whole thing out to the grill. I can also press the meat in it as soon as I get home from the market and throw the whole thing into the fridge or freezer. I highly recommend it for large families and small!

I purchased the Roadhouse Beef & Bean Chili based on the reviews here.  I'm kind of finicky when it comes to chili -- I make a pretty good homemade chili myself, but I wanted the convenience of a canned chili that I could prepare in a few minutes when I needed a quick lunch.

I really wasn't expecting much, so I was very pleasantly surprised when I tried this for the first time yesterday.  It has a spicy "kick" to it, but it's not overpowering.  It also has a decent amount of meat in it, and a hearty robustness.  Yesterday I ate it "plain," with a little cheese on top.  Today, I served it over rice, and it was fabulous!  It would definitely be good on hotdogs, too.

I just put this on Subscribe-and-Save -- at just under $2 a can, it's a great deal, and less than my supermarket charges.  Very happy with this!

The only negative reviews i saw for the product were complaints that the burgers were just to big.. I like a large burger and this thing will make monster patties over an inch thick. it takes more than half a pound if you do not create the cavity for stuffing. Its good for those that want a big, thick burger or a stuffed burger (put cooked bacon and Swis in the middle or just jalapenos diced with onion and garlic an you'll have a great burger.cook them slow to get them completely done through. i really enjoy this press.

I am one of those people who have tried everything and have discovered only low carb diets work for me, but I really don't like the meat based ones as I always have so many health problems with those (causes me severe joint pain).  Although this is UK based (some of the terms are UK so you may find yourself doing research for USA comparable food items) it was still very easy to follow and I feel way better than following those meat based diets, I don't have the joint pain or aches, and my skin even looks 10 times better!  Couldn't be happier!

Its cliche i know, but I was getting much closer to 300lbs than I would have liked, I topped the scale at 295 when I read about eat to live on an internet forum. I wasn't even looking for a health/diet book but i looked it up on my kindle and purchased, the low price was a small outlay for the book. Now 3 months post purchase I am down 30lbs (262 this morning) I am sleeping better, My bowel movements are more regular and I am feeling much better about myself. I love that Dr. Fuhrman qualifies all of his statements with citations to the actual studies or papers, there is really no voodoo here, just good science. I never thought I could be a vegetarian let alone mostly vegan, but I followed the 6 week plan and here I am.

My one gripe with the book is Dr. Fuhrman doesn't know how to cook, I'm not saying the recipes are not delicious (though there are some stinkers in there too) but the general order of ingredient addition is way opposite of what you would normally do for cooking, and the spice profiles he uses were a little strange to me. Don't feel bridled by his recipes, if you stick to the no oil and cook the way u would normally (saute aromatics before other veggies, etc etc) the recipes turn out 10x better in my opinion. Also feel free to completely ignore the spices he recommends and go for whatever you like best, sticking to salt free. I find mrs dash to be a little too heavy on the lemon pepper.

My favorite recipes are by far eat your greens smoothie, and a risotto recipe I got off the website.

This is not a diet, its a way to change your lifestyle, If you want to be healthy and are ready to give up indulging on food to 'eat to live' and give your body what it needs rather than what it wants, then buy this book today!

Although there are some definitely amateurish qualities to this video (lighting and sound balance, to name two), the presentation and the recipes are topnotch. I have been making burgers using Jeff's basic recipe for years without realizing it! Of course, my recipes vary in the details. But his presentation has opened up new horizons to my thinking. The greatest innovation from my perspective is his method of cooking the burgers, more than the basic recipe itself. It works perfectly every time, and the burgers are far superior when cooked his way than when grilled with any kind of fat or when baked. And the oven "fries" are superb! I hadn't dreamed it was possible. Thank you, Jeff Novick and VegSource!

This stuff is pretty darned good for what it is...not supposed to be great for you but beats a big burger and fries. If you pair this up with a dark green salad and maybe a slice of garlic toast, you're good to go! I put red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese on top of mine and zipped it up a little. These Compleats meals are iffy--some are better than others. This one happens to be pretty good. I do wish they'd have made it with meat sauce, but as it is, it's good enough for me to recommend it to you. My kindergartener was licking her fork! So...

I am so happy that I tried this product! 2 of my 3 dogs can be very fussy and one was giving up dog food altogether (too much people food)! I looked it up on a dog food review site and was very impressed. When I opened the first can I was thrilled to find very small chunks (pretty much diced) pieces of chiken and vegetables. The gravy was thiker than most. I find it difficult to find chunky type foods for smaller dogs and the ones they have liked have given them loose stools.  They ALL liked this food. I highly recommend it!

Finally a large hamburger that doesn't shrink down to a silver dollar hamburger!  This is exactly what I've been looking for.  I am so pleased with this.  You can make any size hamburger you want up to five inches.  This is great and something we've been looking for so that we can make a nice sized hamburger for cookouts.  This is a very handy item as the rings can be set inside the base (has ridges to keep it from sliding around) where you can make any size hamburger or sausage, or any sized patty you might want from tuna to crab cakes The thickness is perfect!  This easily makes a man-sized burger, or smaller if you wish.  I love the way this item washes and packs for easy storage. This is the one you want.  I'm tossing all the others scattered all over the place.  This is the one I'm keeping.  Love it!  Update:  Bought another for my sister to add to her Birthday booty!

As a self diagnosed meat freak... this makes me happy!!!

I love this thing.  I really don't understand the negative reviews it got.  Honestly, if you are worried about a piece of frozen meat getting stuck to plastic, put it in between wax paper! That's what I did to keep the meat from sticking, because that's what frozen things do, they stick to things.

I like how compact it is and I always feel so high tech using it.  I don't think the patties are all that big, who wants a tiny burger anyway? I like the fact it squashes them the way it does because I get an even burger instead of a weird shaped one that doesn't fill the bun.

Ive made 30lbs of burgers this week. This is a time saver to avoid precutting. Well worth it!

This is my new favorite cookbook! Everything I have made from it so far has been a huge hit - a particular favorite so far was the Chicken Pot Pie. It is weight watchers friendly - all the recipes give basic nutrition info if you want to do a quick and easy point calculation - and the food is tasty and low point values! Yeah, baby, I'm eating chicken pot pie and chicken cordon bleu and pizza on weight watchers!!!

Its also great for people who just want to eat yummy food without going overboard, though, you don't have to be losing weight to want to be healthy. The traditional versions of these dishes have dozens or sometimes nearly a hundred grams of fat, and usually over a thousand calories per serving! The versions in this cookbook are tasty and have much more appropriate nutrition values, and like I said, everything's been a huge hit around the whole table, even for the non-dieters.

Thanks Rocco!
