Burger night falls apart before the flame even starts. Here's where:
Hand-formed patties are all different — so they all cook different.
One's thick, one's thin, one's cracked down the middle. You end up flipping constantly and still serving one raw center and one hockey puck.
Loose patties crumble through the grates.
Hand-packing leaves weak spots. The patty splits at the first flip, and half your dinner falls into the fire.
Prepped patties have nowhere to go.
Plates of raw meat hog the fridge. Plastic-wrapped patties stick together and come out squashed. So prep-ahead never actually happens.
Getting burgers to a tailgate is a gamble.
A ziplock of patties in a cooler arrives as one bag of meat mush. So you overpay for pre-formed store patties instead.
It isn't that you're bad at making burgers.
It's that your hands can't press, portion, store, and carry — and until now, no single tool could either.
