This is my kitchen DUH! moment. Instead of getting my hands dirty trying to form the perfect mini burger, I could use tools in my kitchen to do the work for me!
Step 1: Scoop the beef into the measuring cup.
Step 2: Smush the beef down with the back of a spoon to level it off.
Step 3: Turn measuring cup over spatula. Tap cup until patty comes out.
I have those measuring cups! I got mine from Ikea almost 5 years ago! Brilliant!
IKEA is fun for little kitchen-y stuff like that. 🙂
I use one of my measuring spoons to make nice small meat balls. Still have to do some shaping by hand but it’s only with 1 hand so it’s nicer than the way I used to try.
I’m stealing your tip because I never thought about it but I love it!
So simple, yet genius. I used this tip to make burgers for my husband the other day. I don’t think I can ever go back to handmaking them ever again.
