Make Surplus Burgers to Store in Your Freezer
If you go hunting and have deer and turkey meat processed through a local butcher, preparing burgers may have come to mind. Because fresh products need to be consumed relatively quickly, freezing patties will be necessary if you have a lot of ground meat products. Purchase some hamburger moulder equipment and parchment paper to aid in preparing each batch of patties.
Similar to What Food Service Industries Use
Some food service industries utilize a burger press or electric moulding equipment. If you have eaten at establishments that serve burgers that always seem to be the same diameter and thickness and don't show any inconsistencies in their shape, there is a good chance that a press or mould is being used behind the scenes.
These items can save valuable time in the kitchen and aid with portion control. Additionally, if ingredients are being used that don't bind together well, a press or a moulder will contain a barrier that will ensure that a raw patty will remain intact before you place it on a grill.
The Possibility to Mass Produce Items
If you have some menu ideas that you want to try out and are considering using the bulk of your meat to create various patty types, a manual press or an electric moulder will allow you to mass produce patties quickly. Decide what type of equipment will be best suited for your needs. You may even want to invest in a press and a moulder if you would like to try out manual and electric methods.
Learn how the equipment operates before preparing a batch of patties. A manual press will likely contain a lid and a base. The base is where you will need to place meat that is being formed into a patty. The lid is the part that will compress the meat. Some lids contain markings on their interior side. The markings can be used to add grill marks to patties.
An electric moulder will contain one or more chambers that meat will need to be added to. Each chamber will have a defined outline, which will contain the meat during the production of each batch of patties. Once you are confident about using each type of equipment, line your ingredients and parchment paper up along a counter.
To avoid cross-contamination or mixing the wrong ingredients, create one type of patty before cleaning the press or moulder and moving onto another meat variety. Place a piece of parchment paper in between the patties, stack the patties up, and secure them inside of freezer bags. Label the bags with the product's name and date before placing the patties in the freezer.
