The StufZ Burger Press is probably one of the niftiest kitchen cooking aids I’ve come across in a very long time. Almost everyone loves burgers but I think you would be hard-pressed to find anyone that likes making burgers (and stuffed burgers at that) from scratch. The StufZ Burger Press is a high quality, durable press that makes stuffing burgers with your favorite ingredients easy, and convenient, delivery delicious dinners in just minutes.
Pros
Cons:
- Stuffed burgers are easier than ever to make
- Easy preparation and cooking
- Very little mess and clean up
- Convenient dishwashing and space saving storage
- Easily comes apart and put back together
Cons:
- Probable weight gain from copious burger consumption
- You might run out of ingredients to stuff in your burger
- Outings to burger restaurants won’t seem as exciting
Stuffed burgers used to be a special weekday dinner when I was a young. I still remember getting ridiculously excited when I smelled fries and burger meat coming from the kitchen. In fact, I didn’t like drive-thru burgers because they were so boring in comparison. My favorite was the bacon, cheese, avocado and green pepper stuffed burgers. I loved them so much, I told my Mom that when I lived on my own, I would make them everyday.
Well, it wasn’t exactly as easy as I thought. Stuffed burgers are really hard to make manually, and I can’t be the only one who has ever tried and given up. It’s tricky to get the spacing, and sealing just right, and figure out exactly how much of what you need. Doing the molding with your hands is inefficient and difficult. It’s hardly surprising that most attempts end in disaster.
For the longest time, I tried to follow my Mom’s classic stuffed burger recipe: half a pound of ground beef or turkey, stuffing ingredients of choice, aluminum foil, repeatedly folding and unfolding, and more bowls and measuring cups than I can count. Needless to say, this method had an approximately 40% success rate. More often than not, I just gave up and fried bland squashed ground beef on a skillet and called it a night. My Mom must have had the patience of a saint, and the hands of butcher to manage making stuffed burgers from scratch. I put stuffed burgers in the category of “failed recipes” and gave up on ever being able to make them — after all, I could just have them when I went to stay with my parents.

Now, I go to a major football school where tailgates are a really big deal. At one particular tailgate, I came across a stall with stuffed burgers, going for eight bucks. I begrudgingly forked out the money, but not before I caught a glimpse the StufZ Burger Press box in the back of the trailer. As soon as I got home, I checked around various retailers searching for the StufZ Burger Press.
I had a brief internal debate over whether I could fit another appliance into my already tiny and overcrowded kitchen. Between the food processor, blender, egg maker, the random Seat Pets I keep inexplicably finding in my kitchen cabinets, and countless other increasingly useless cooking aids I acquired when I started living on my own, I wasn’t sure whether I should add another one to the list. I decided to go ahead and purchase it. It was much cheaper than both my Foreman Grill and electric skillet, and far more useful.

It was easy to use as the Stufz website said: add your choice of ground meat, shape it, stuff it, and then close it to seal. My roommates and I made about six burgers and all of them came out perfectly shaped and sealed. There was no falling apart or spillage. There was practically no mess, no endless dishes to be used in preparation, and best of all, a delicious product. It was much simpler than I expected, so much so that I even got one for my Mom.
The clean up is quite simple, and all the parts are dishwasher friendly. The individual parts come apart easily, and are reassembled with equal simplicity. My concerns about space were largely unfounded — the Stufz Burger Press fits in any cupboard, and doesn’t need any special storage.

My friends love the burger press, and it’s our new tailgate treat. It goes perfectly with a cool beer or soda, and fries. It’s the perfect way to kick off a game, whether it’s at the stadium or in the backyard. You can take it practically anywhere because of it’s compact size. It fits in any bag or cooler, and you can wipe it down with paper towels and put it away.
Another thing I like, is how quickly you can make the burgers. Hand stuffing and molding can take ages, and just for a single patty. With the StufZ Burger Press, I managed to make several in less than an hour. You can focus on making other things, and sides instead of endless laboring on the ground meat to get it just right.
I would have to say that my favorite thing about it, is the limitless variety of combinations. I’ve experimented to my heart’s delight with every kind of stuffing and topping imaginable on a burger. I made veggie burgers, Portobello mushroom burgers, chili burgers — I could go on and on. It makes it easy to try different things without worrying that they might backfire — because they simply won’t with the burger press.
My Final Thoughts
The StufZ Burger Press, for it’s usefulness, is extremely well-priced. I found it available at many different places, but it was cheapest directly on the Stufz website for just 9.99 plus shipping and handling. At restaurants, or food trailers you could end up paying that for just one stuffed burger. You could make your own, over and over again with just the single purchase. I think there was even a buy one get one free promotion available — any friend or family member will appreciate the gift.
