Making Perfect Burger Patties

To make a perfect burger you have to have the perfect burger patty.  Don’t waste your time buying an expensive burger mold.

Cover the lid with a generous amount of plastic wrap allowing extra wrap to hang over the edge.  Add the meat. Gently pull the plastic wrap up and maneuver the patty out of the lid mold.

Spray or coat your scoop with a little bit of oil and dig into your meat.  Make sure you level it off at the top of the scoop so your burgers will be uniform.

Find a round cookie cutter shape and put down plastic wrap, add your meat and lift the cookie cutter off of the patty.

I like to use one of my plastic Tupperware bowls that stay even on the sides.  Line it with plastic wrap and pack your meat in.  Fold over the excess wrap so you can pack the burger in the bowl.

Use your rolling pin to evenly spread out the meat.  Use the cup to cut out the burger patties.  It helps to spray or wipe the edges of the cup with oil so that the meat slides right out!
