METALTEX Hamburger Press Burger Chef — Aluminium & PP, 115 mm Diameter, Single Piece

The METALTEX Hamburger Press Burger Chef is a single-piece patty former made from aluminium and polypropylene (PP) with a 115 mm diameter. Designed for home cooks and small-scale food preparation, this press shapes minced meat, vegetable mixes or plant-based ingredients into consistent burger patties. Its solid construction combines a lightweight aluminium body with a hygienic PP base to allow quick, repeatable forming of evenly sized burgers.

Advantages

The Burger Chef press produces uniform patties with consistent thickness and shape, reducing preparation time and improving presentation. Materials—aluminium for the forming surface and PP for the base—offer a balance of strength, lightness and food-safe handling. Its single-piece design simplifies cleaning and storage compared with multi-part moulds. The 115 mm diameter is suitable for standard homemade burgers and provides reliable results across different fillings.

Suitable for

• Forming minced beef, pork, poultry or mixed meats into 115 mm patties
• Preparing vegetarian or vegan patties from legumes, grains or vegetable blends
• Small-batch home cooking and meal prep where consistent portioning is desired
• Demonstrations or light commercial use in small cafés or food stalls

When it may not be suitable

The METALTEX Burger Chef is intended for single-patty forming and may not be ideal for high-volume industrial production where automated or multi-cavity equipment is required. Very large portion sizes or non-compressible fillings that require moulds with specific textures may not achieve optimal results with this press.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 115 mm
• Materials: aluminium forming surface, polypropylene (PP) base
• Design: single-piece press
• Intended use: manual patty forming for minced meat and plant-based mixes

How to use

Place a portion of the prepared mixture into the press cavity and apply even pressure to form the patty. Release the formed patty from the mould and transfer it to a tray or grill. For sticky mixtures, lightly dampen the press or use a thin layer of oil to ease release. Clean the press after use according to material care: rinse or wash the PP and aluminium surfaces, ensuring they are dry before storage.

What to consider before purchase

• Desired patty diameter (115 mm) and how it fits your burger buns and serving portions
• Compatibility with the types of mixtures you plan to use (meat, vegetable, or mixed)
• Single-piece manual design vs. multi-piece or automated forming equipment for volume needs
• Care and cleaning requirements for aluminium and PP components

Usage recommendations

For best results, portion the filling consistently before pressing and avoid overpacking; gently compacted mixtures release more easily and maintain juiciness. If using lean meats, consider adding a small amount of fat or binder to improve patty cohesion. After washing, dry thoroughly to prevent water spots on aluminium and to extend product life.
