Product Information
Full details
The Buffalo Manual Hamburger Press is an essential tool for commercial kitchens and high-volume food service operations that require consistent, professional-grade patty production. Designed for efficiency, this manual press ensures every burger maintains a uniform 100mm diameter and 138g weight, providing perfect portion control for 4oz patties. While it significantly streamlines your prep process, it is important to note that the unit is strictly manual and requires physical operation for each press, which may be a limitation for operations requiring fully automated high-speed production.

FAQs
Can this press produce patties larger than 100mm?
No, this specific model is hard-coded to produce 100mm diameter burgers.
Is the unit dishwasher safe?
We recommend hand-washing the unit to protect the finish and structural integrity of the components.
Does it include burger papers?
The unit includes a built-in hopper for paper storage, but you will need to purchase standard 100mm burger papers separately.
What is the maximum weight the press can handle?
The press is optimized for a maximum weight of 138g.
Can I use this for non-meat mixtures?
Yes, it can be used for veggie or turkey burgers, provided the mixture has sufficient binding agents to hold the 100mm shape.
Troubleshooting
Patty sticking to the press plate
Ensure you are using the burger separator papers in the hopper and that the meat mixture is properly chilled before pressing.
Uneven patty thickness
Verify that the meat mixture is placed evenly in the center of the mold and that the handle is depressed with consistent downward pressure.
Difficulty in operating the lever
Check the hinge and pivot points for any debris buildup and apply a light coating of food-grade lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Buffalo Manual Hamburger Press, place the unit on a flat, non-slip surface, ensuring the base is secure. Before the first use, wash all food-contact surfaces with food-safe detergent and rinse thoroughly. For daily maintenance, disassemble the press components according to the manufacturer's manual and hand-wash with warm, soapy water. Avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads or caustic cleaning agents that could damage the anodized finish. After cleaning, ensure all parts are completely air-dried before reassembling to prevent moisture buildup inside the mechanism. Periodic inspection of the handle pivot point and the pressing plate ensures smooth operation.
