My host for tonight has a guest coming who is looking for "the hamburger patty maker". Does anyone know what that is? She (the customer) said that she has a friend who has one. The only thing I can think of is maybe someone is using something else in a creative way.:D

Any ideas?
 
Tupperware sells one.Our Ice Cream Sandwich Maker can be used to make patties.
 
Some people use the Ice Cream Sandwich Maker to make burgers. This is not recommended by the test kitchens because of the bacteria.Otherwise, she's probably confusing us with Tupperware.
 
Once again, Cheffers typing at the same time. :D
 
Maybe the meat tenderizer could be a substitute!
 
We used to have one a long time ago. I still have it in my cabinet somewhere. I got it the first time I did PC, circa 1993.
