ReUseIt Crafts

I have the hardest time making equal sized burgers and sausage patties. I actually bought a burger maker and found it didn't work well nor did it get clean in the dishwasher. So I looked around my supplies and saw that the margarine containers were just about the right size (with burger shrinkage) and had lots of em’ (enough to experiment with).

As you can see from the pictures, it was very simple and because the pieces separate, they clean up well in the dishwasher (they hold up a good long time too, I’ve used these over and over).

I just cut the container wall down to the height I wanted for my burgers, cut a hole in the bottom big enough to push the burger thru while maintaining the strength of the container. I cut the lid the size of the inside of the container at the bottom. (I used a piece of paper to measure the size before cutting the lid).

Place the lid piece in the bottom of the container, add the burger, pat it down, then turn it over and push the bottom out and thru, wa-la…nice, even burgers… (I used a container that held crab meat (Mmm) for the sausage patties but the small margarine containers are about the same size) Thanks for reading…ReUseItNut…
