HoanBBQ Hamburger Stuffer

This is a great product for the price. I haven't used it a lot, but so far so good. It is pretty straight forward on how to use it and I haven't had any problems. Before I bought this stuffer, I did some research and read that people were having problems with the meat getting stuck in the press, but I haven't had this problem with this stuffer. The meat comes out easy and in good structure. I have only found that you should not press the meat down too hard because it compresses it and then you have a "solid" and dense hamburger. The diameter of the meat is perfect after it is cooked (nice with the buns from Costco) but it is very thick, which I'm okay with. I think that it uses a fair amount of meat, 1 3/4 lbs for 4 burgers. The obvious positive is that you will eat one burger instead of two. There are 4 pieces to keep track of when you store it, so if things tend to "disappear" in your house, then you might not use it for too long. The plastic that the stuffer is constructed with, feels steady and cleans fairly easy. I think it is worth it for the price...

Lots of prep to pre-grill the onions and mushrooms before stuffing. Several attempts needed to find the right amount of beef to put in there. Once stuffed the burger is hugely thick, but only about 4 to 5 inches across. Takes 1/2 pound of beef to fully encapsulate a batch of ingredients. Less beef would not press into a sealed patty. This means you have to carefully grill to cook it through without drying it out. Maybe stuff it with butter? No, don't do that. It would catch fire.Will keep working with this device. On the good side, it is decent quality with cleanly molded parts that fit together well. The slide off bottom piece makes removing the patty easy. I think this is as good as it will get in a burger stuffer, maybe I am just too impatient to make stuffed burgers.BTW, Stilton with grilled onions and mushrooms was really delicious!

Works well enough, but requires 1/2 pound of burger for each stuffed patty. Seriously. To create the "bowl" requires more than a 1/4lb, then cover with a smaller amount to cover the stuffed "bowl". Depth of the device does not allow for top and bottom layers of burger to be the same thickness. leaves the top layer thinner than the bottom so cooks unevenly in a simultaneous top/Bottom fryer such as a George Foreman. Frying pan is easier for even cooking. Somewhat disappointed in its "engineering". Kind of a no-brained to design correctly. Oh well

I love cheese stuffed burgers but making hand made patties tends to lead to the cheese leaking out. This patty produced by this gadget did not have any leakage. The cheese was gooey good like a toasted cheese sandwich. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the amount of hambuger that you need to use to form the pocket, it's way to much for my liking. I prefer a smaller patty.

My husband is a sucker for the "As Seen on TV" stuff. If it looks interesting I do some research and try to save money. This hamburger stuffer works very well and the best thing for me is clean hands. I don't like shaping burgers and this takes all the mess out of the process. The cheese stays inside the hamburger and doesn't make more of a mess in the pan.

It's ok. It's not really a necessary gadget. I could do just a good a job (maybe better) by hand.It could be great for stuffing burgers with more solid ingredients, but the pocket and seal isn't the best for cheese because melted cheese usually runs out 80% of the time. A proper juicy lucy would be best done by hand.

This is one of the most fun pieces of kitchen equipment that i own. I never knew how much stuff I wanted to stuff in a burger. I did find out that using this with ground chicken is not so cool. ground chicken has little fat in it and gets stuck on the pan. But for a healthy burger you can put cheese and brocoli in it-the kids will eat it. I put potatoes and carrots in it with some creamed mushrooms, and they devour it. Sneaky way to get veges in, but it works

Received the Hoan stuffed burger maker and had to try it right away. I did not like the fact that you had to figure how much ground meat to use. If you over fill the bowl it is hard to press and get a cavity, also you have to form the top patty by hand. Then you need to insert the flat press to the plunger and twist and lock so you can seal the top of the stuffed burger. Then you need to slide out so you can remove the burger. Not a quick way to make stuffed burgers or easy. If I knew I would need to use my hands this much to help form the stuffed burger, I would have just done it by hand. Also the handle is small for a man's hand.
