Re: Burger Presses
We had a great BBQ on Saturday, mostly from Tesco's range which appear to be on special offer. Lots of BBQ food for £2 a go. Their kebabs went down a storm.

We did the same, their beef kebabs are yummy, so are their prawn ones.
Last year their fish ones were delicious.
Their burgers last year were very crumbly, falling through into the coals, and their chicken on the bone pieces weren't up to much.
We use a skottel as it's so much better than bbq's.
Dead easy to clean, makes fantastic pancakes, does cheap burgers really well as they've got nothing to fall through (unless you use the grate).
Best part is that it compacts down into a handy carry bag.
Was under £100 too!

As no one has come up with the perfect Buger Press to make them the right size you could always try this way.
Make up the mixture for your burgers then press it firmly on to Teflon cooking sheets to the thickness you want(or use rolling pin over another Teflon sheet). Chill slightly then cut into 5" squares which you can round with your hands.
Won't be perfect, but rustic is a good look for BBQ food.

aaah, I see - mind you, in Kenya 1963 the steak was cheap enough to buy for the dog, as well, not so in the UK 2007

Re: Burger Presses
BBQ's in Saudi were normally on the beach, which really put the sand into sandwich!
Dad likes his meat carbonised, so that was how he did everyones.
Put me off beef for years.

 Why bother with cooking it then? Just eat it straight out of the wrapping
I like beef cremated I don't want to be reminded of what I am eating...

Warm is nice. Mind you a steak tartare sandwich goes down very well uncooked

Seriously, steak tartare is lovely. I wouldn't make it myself, but I used to buy it from the butcher all the time when living on the continent. Never had any ill effects from it.

I know - I used to work in Belgium and France, and would eat it (occasionally) with a raw egg on top and black pepper; I prefer my meat medium-rare, but as the man said, try anything except morris-dancing and incest.

In Holland it is usually eaten on sandwiches/baguette. Occasionally with raw onions, but without the egg (normally). It is also mixed with a sauce containing all kinds of spices. Any self-respecting sandwich shop will serve it.
