Has anyone tried making hamburger patties with the ICSM? What do you think, would it work. I don't have one of these and so don't know.

Not sure if it would work but I have thought about it. Maybe I will use it the next time I make hamburgers (I have a patty press but those that don't might find it useful)
 
My host for next Saturday is making stuffed burgers with the ice cream sandwich maker. She says she does it all the time.
 
I am cheap <cough> uh, I mean, frugal...so I use the cover lid for the food chopper to make my patties! I lay a piece of plastic wrap over it, put in two large scoops of hamburger meat, and then fold over the platic wrap and use it to push the meat into the lid. Then, I use the plastic to lift out the patty. It makes really tender hamburgers cuz you don't have to squish them so hard and make them tough.

Sounds like a great idea to use the ice cream sandwich maker! Glad to have a second use to tell my guests about!
