Advantages: Burgers don't fall apart Disadvantages: Can be tricky to assemble
A big success in our household the burgermaker from Lakeland is a simple to use gadget, which allows you to make great burgersquickly and simply. I had stopped buying shop burgers after the BSE scare and decided to have a go at making my own. Yes, you can make burgers without this gadget but mine do have a tendency to fall apart.
