Speaking off smashed burgers, have you seen the Culver's commercial where he takes the salt shaker and presses down on top of the spatula as hard as he can? What's with that?

Culver's Butter Burgers ain't bad for fast food. And you can put all kinds of stuff on them. Of course the frozen custard (turtle sundae or praline pecan) afterwards is bomb! Gad, I just ate and I'm already making myself hungry. Actually, most of the 'Sconnies I've hung with are a lot of fun to party with. They have some strange hang ups but after several, you hardly notice it. :D

Hey, they have great beer, cheese, fishing, scenery...and girls. Not necessarily in that order, though. You just have to wonder about their names for football teams......;)

I agree about the WI girls. A gal from 'Sconnie was my lab partner in Entomology class in college. Wound up checking her for external parasites. Happy to say she was clean! ;):D

also if you make a depression in the middle of the patty, when it cooks it ends up flat instead of humped up.   Can't do that with a press. 

Not true!! Here is my patty maker, it makes a nice depression in the burger, and it does indeed keep it flatter as it cooks... (Sorry the box looks a little disgusting- I got it at an estate sale. The press itself is clean as a whistle.)

I think you guys are all nuts.  I thought the burger press went out with the carton of milk holder that people used to have.  It had a handle on it and was plastic, created to solve a problem that didn't exist. :)

I've got one of these, as was said, the dimple in the middle keeps the burger from puffing up. I've also got one of the original tupperware burger presses.  Both work good, I use which ever one matches the size of the buns my wife buys, tupperware press for small buns, this press for bigger buns. I like more meat than bun!!!! :)  I like the presses because when I do my burgers by hand they seem to fall apart, especially around the edges.  Not bad if I want a sample for me but I hate it when those pieces fall between the grate wires :(

I have two of them and the only time I use them is if I have a lot of guests over and then I make patties ahead of time with the press.  Handy that way.  It's also good for making thin patties for juicy lucy's at times to get a good seal.  But in general for home use I use my hands..  We had a press to make patties at work to make a variety of "flavors" of patties and added high temp cheese.  they were nice and uniform and could make them to a variety of thickness.  So it comes down to what you want and personal preference really.  You could have someone who is on a special diet for example and need 4 oz patties where this press would be handy.  Whatever floats the boat.  good luck.

I think the carton of milk holder also was in the era of putting plastic runners on the carpet to shield the carpet from dirt.  My buddies folks had that and even at 10 years old I knew it looked awful.

Mine is still a virgin. I could see trying it if I had a bunch of burgers to feed to a large crowd like some of the wedding and office parties I've grilled for. Otherwise, it's less hassle if I'm just doing a couple lbs. worth for us to wash my hands, make the patties then wash my hands again when I'm through. Our lamburger sticks together nicely especially if we plan ahead, allowing it to thaw slowly and completely, rather than being defrosted quickly in the microwave. Gonna wind up washing my hands at least twice anyway. :)

We had one of those for years.  Made it easier to hold and pour the milk.  Especially useful with kids around.  No longer needed with plastic bottles.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
