Omcan 11426 4 In. Hamburger Patty Press, Manual, Anodized Aluminum Body, 6.75 oz Max Patty

This Trento hamburger press turns ground meat into uniform 4 inch patties at the prep counter, one pull of the lever at a time. It suits fast food establishments, restaurants, and any fast-paced kitchen that portions patties by hand but wants every one to come out the same. The plate takes up to 6.75 ounces of product per patty, and the press is entirely hand operated, so it works anywhere you can spare roughly 9 by 10 inches of counter and does not tie up an outlet. Note that the head rises to 12 inches when lifted, so give the press that much clearance under low shelving.

4-Inch Patties up to 6.75 Ounces Each

The 4 inch stainless steel plate takes the guesswork out of portioning: load the same weight of ground product each time and the press delivers a patty of the same diameter. It works for burgers, crab cakes, fish cakes, veggie burgers, salmon patties and meat loaf patties, in beef, chicken, turkey or vegetable blends. This is the 4 inch model in Trento's line; a wider 5.2 inch version is offered under item 11428.

Anodized Cast Aluminum Body, Stainless Steel Food Contact

The hand operated press body is heavy duty cast aluminum with an anodized finish. The parts that actually touch the meat, including the plate the patty forms on, are stainless steel.

Upward Push Extraction

The press pushes the formed patty upward to make extraction easier. The working sequence is short: lift the lever to its end point, lay a cellophane disc on the stainless steel plate, add the portion of ground product, cover it with a second disc, draw the lever back to press, then lift the lever again and remove the patty.

Disassembles for a Real Cleaning

The press is easy to disassemble, and the stainless steel plate lifts out so the contact parts go to the sink instead of getting a wipe-down in place. Clean all the parts with mild water, soap and disinfectant at least once a day, or after a long period of inactivity.

Cellophane Press Papers Available Separately

Trento offers cellophane press papers sized for this plate under item 11427, approximately 1890 sheets to a pack. A disc goes under and over each portion as it is pressed, and the interleaves make stacking patties easier. Omcan also lists 4 inch solid round patty paper (item 47489) and 4 inch perforated round patty paper (item 44431) as accessories for this press.
