I came across this method for easily making lots of burger patties, and it worked so well I thought I would share it for anyone who has never heard of it. Works great for square or round patties.
Roll hamburger into a log. Use loaf pan, or just bang on counter for square edges (I made mine round). Freeze for 30 min, or until beginning to firm up. Slice into patties with sharp knife.
I weighed each patty (I made ten) just to see, and all but one were within 1/8 of an ounce. The tenth was 1/4 ounce larger than the rest lol. Big deal, right?? I did do minimal shaping, to make the edges nice, and make them perfectly round, but you wouldn't have to. I'm just anal (I fixed them so they were all exactly the same weight too).
Next time just for fun, I think I'm going to mix in some seasonings before I roll up my log.
