Hi everyone

i don't have one and haven't seen it - but a co-worker asked if yoiu could use it to make kid-sized burgers.
has anyone tried???
 
i haven't tried to make the kid sized burgers, but i imagine you could...just use it as a stencil like a cookie cutter
 
It really isn't very "kid sized" though... We often make our ice cream sandwiches using the measure all cup because it doesn't make such a huge dessert!
 
A friend of mine bought this product to make burgers and discovered that it made the burders too samll for adults, but maybe they would be perfect for a kid's meal! :rolleyes:
 
I think I read a reply someone got from HO saying that it wasn't recommended, but if they were to use it with meat not to ever use it for anything else so it doesn't cross-contaminate.
