A friend of mine makes the 'NJ Diner Style' with ground beef, a little
ground pork, an egg and a little bread crumbs....kneads it all
together for quite a while...and grills them. Sure it appears to sound
like meat loaf but it sure does not taste like it!.

I form the hamburger with the plastic top from one of those
supermarket plastic containers that you put the bulk olives it...the
cover, upside down, allows you to compress the meat to a pretty thin
evenly distributed pattie...one can press in the center more to make
it thinner if one wanted to...as mentioned on a subsequent post.

The result is 100% ground beef with 100% ground pork and 100% Pure Egg
and 100% Bread Crumbs(unflavored) and it tastes 100% great.

Again, much better on the grill.

I prefer the taste of wendys, as I remember. mcdonald's hamburgers
were to me what 'dunkin donuts' donuts were----very inexpensive as I
tasted them over and over for the single price....now, as I remember,
their french fries were a different thing altogether--outta this
world.

FWIW.

Tupperware sells a hamburger press. It has 5 or 6 individual containers, a
round sleeve to keep an edge in container or to keep the meat from sticking
to the sides, and a piece with a handle to flatten the burgers. They all
stack together and have a lid for the top. You use one and put the lid on
until they are all gone. Very easy to use. Have had it for years - love
it.

I like the taste of fast food hamburgers. I'd like to know if I can
simply buy ground meat, form it into patties, and fry them. Somehow,
from my past experience, it results in completely different sort of
taste and texture. So, what is the secret? How could I make fast food
style hamburgers at home? Any ideas?

I remember seeing my mother had one. But, if I remember correctly, they're
tiny! The hamburgers that come out of the press can't be more than 3 1/2 to
4 inches across.

If it's the same as the one I had, it's too small in diameter. But it
does work great.

That size patty is what would be considered a portion - if you're not using
a bun and putting it on a plate - make two. I like using it because it will
make all the patties a uniform thickness and they cook evenly. I guess it's
to each his own. Have we been spoiled by all the super size, king size,
upsize, etc that a smaller patty is a problem. 🙂

I have 2 sets, the old, smaller set and a set I picked up a year or so
ago and its much bigger. :-)

Yes, thanks for asking. 😉

Hmm 3-4 oz, last I checked, was considered "a portion". Now, I have
bought and weighed on a food scale exactly, 3 ounces of hamburger and then
fried it up. It looks a heck of a lot bigger than the fast food stuff.

That's because they're compressed so much. Most fast food burgers
(except the really cheap ones) are at least 4 ounces (1/4 pound).
