We have only used it once so far and it was awesome. So much quicker than how we used to do it. Using the press also makes the burgers uniform. Before, we were just eyeballing. I washed it in dishwasher and it was fine. I put it on the top rack. The little parchment papers that come with it is a must have. It makes it so much easier to get the patty out. 10/10 highly recommend.Highly recommended. Easy to use. Instead of buying pre formed hamburger paddies, buy it in bulk and make your own. It'll save you a few dollars.It produces beautiful patties. the papers makes storage clean and easy.Made burgers and with the wax papers it worked greatAll goodAs stated in the title, we like the uniformity in the burger patties we made so everyone’s can be cooked the way they like it. Adding a little oil before beginning makes removal of the Pattie from the press easier.all burgers are the same size now, cook the same now!We had a plastic one, but it broke. This is just what we needed! Very sturdy.Very easy to use and clean. Quick and easy fresh burger patties. Would def buy again. Would suggest buying extra papers, comes with a good amount but I plan to use this fairly oftenFantastic little burger pattie maker....love it ?not thick enough
