I've owned the Weber 6483 Original Burger Press for about a year now and I can say that it's very good. I checked the Amazon ratings and noticed that it gets 4 stars. I compare this one to a few other versions and can say that they don't come close to this one.
Watch me give a cooking demonstration of Ground Chuck on a Weber Gas Grill, which features the patented Flavorizer Bars, ensuring extra flavor to the burgers.
I cook the burgers over direct high heat for about 9 minutes. The burgers have a dimple in the center, which is a feature that the press has. The dimple is designed to compensate for the puffing that occurs in the center and promotes a nice, flat burger. You will notice that I flip the burgers only 1 time. If you flip them more that that, the flavor start to diminish. I also make sure not to press down on the burgers with a spatula, because the good juices will be lost.
I seasoned the burgers with Emeril's Bam! Burger, Hamburger Seasoning. Another good choice it to use Montreal Steak Seasoning.

Put saran wrap in the clear lid before pressing the meat in. Then pull on the saran wrap to it will remove the burger easily. Can do this over and over with the same saran wrap.
+Stan Bumpurs Oh wow, that's a good idea! Thanks for the tip.
Nice tip! Whey to thing outside the burger press. Thanks!
4 year old comment and I found it today 5/27/20. Had a tough time getting them out. Thanks Stan. First round is on me.
Waxed paper discs are cheap and do two things.. they make it easy to get the burger out of press and allow a stack to be frozen for easy separation later. I recommend this lentil-based alternative to meat, works a treat.
Thanks for the advice!
"Lentil-based alternative to meat"? LOL! No thanks!
I appreciate that you are aware of cross contamination and put a paper towel on the spray can before handling it. 👏
Yes, thank you
Unfortunately Amazon no longer sells this burger press, only third party vendors, but I did find it at Home Depot and ordered it because of your review. Thanks 🙏 for a great review of the Weber Hamburger Press.
Glad to help, thanks for sharing!
This review is the absolute best on YT for a burger press. Im glad I found it. It should be at the top of the pages of results. NONE of the others are this good. Just delightful to watch all the way through. Even the comments are useful. And Thanks for the Amazon link!
Wow, thanks! I made this video quite awhile ago and glad to hear it. 🙌
A good way to prevent sticking is to spin the top a few times while pressing. It will come out nice and easy. Thanks for the video.
Thanks, I'll have to give it a try.
Excellent! I just purchased one of these today, the lack of instructions had me scratching my head a bit. Perfect video to help me understand how to best use this. Thanks! :)
+Benjamin McMahan Thanks, happy grilling!
I bought one of these on a whim at Canadian Tire and wasn't happy with the results last night. Now I know what I was doing wrong not to mention a very good idea in the comments of using Saran Wrap . Thanks.
That's a great idea!
I have three previously bought burger presses that will now go to Goodwill. Enjoyed your video.
Awesome! Thank you!
I can't believe I've lived my entire life without a burger press. Gonna pick one of those suckers up today!
Let me know how it works, thanks!
dude, this is for a burger press, and i was hooked...you need a show
Thanks!
Nice video buddy. Told me everything I needed to know. I was browsing this item on Amazon and then decided to look for a good review on youtube and here you are. Thank you for the time you spent on the review.
You're welcome, enjoy the Weber Burger Press!
I bought the press today. It worked great without the olive oil.
Sounds great!
Thanks! Just got one for Father's Day and this video was very helpful
Cool, glad to help! I sometimes use this to make burgers in-between the two sizes. It's quite versatile.
Amazing! Turned out excellent the first time...
I used the Smoky Montreal steak... Yummy!
I don't think you know that the black knob can turn and go off so there can be air above the patti to lose it with really easy
You did a really good job with this. Your presentation was compact and you didn't fall into the "uh" or "umm" trap Plus the burgers look awesome! :-)
Cool, thanks!
I recently purchased a weber grill that looks just like yours. I made hamburgers by hand and they were great. I just ordered the burger press to maybe streamline the process. Thanks
I still use this grill all the time. It's more expensive that others, but worth it.
Nice. I just found one at a yard sale to use!! I had the white one but this looks better. I also own the same grill but the burner just broke. My favorite grill. I need to change out the burner so I can use my new burger press and get to cooking.
Thanks! I haven't had a burner go out on my grill yet. Hopefully it's an easy fix for you.
It seems to me that if I had to make several hamburgers at one time I'd lay the meat out on a large cutting board and use a rolling pin (or a piece of 1 inch PVC pipe) to flatten it. I'd use lengths of wood on either side of the meat to determine the thickness of the patty and to keep the level consistent. Once that was done I'd use just the top part of your hamburger press like a cookie cutter to make the patties. I believe this would be simpler and faster.
What do you think?
Sounds like a good idea. The one feature of the Weber press is that it puts a dimple in the center for improved burger grilling. You could easily do that with your thumb when putting them on the grill.
Define "several."
I make burgers a couple times a week and have never needed anything to form pattys besides my hands. I usually do about 10 at a time, no problems.
Great video !! I brought one of these the other day. Going to make some burgers for the weekend 🎉
2:32 i wud get a fork VS my fingers ...i just use the tines from the fork ..and i even use the same fork and shape the patty with the "LOOK! NO hands method!!
How is it that I have lived on this Earth 42 years and grilled on my Weber charcoal grill for at least 22 of those.. and NEVER did I know that there was such a wondrous thing as a "burger press" ?? Gonna order one myself! Thanks for the review Mark.
The Lawn Care Nut Thanks, I think they taste better when you make your own vs buying the pre-made frozen burgers.
Me too.. 42 burger press-less years on Earth. I'm an ignorant moron. I'll go get me one instantly! Next 42 is gonna be sweet.. 😉
Get back in the lawn Alan!
Trying out my Weber burger press today. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome. Hope it works well.
Hi the dimple is put in a burger to insure it cooks flat and not convex ie a little dome, hope this helps
That's a great feature, sine many burger patties get that dome shape.
markthomasbuilder yes it's a great idea and so simple
5:30 Read my mind when grabbing that paper towel😅👍🏽
Yep, there's a buildup on there othewise.
Ever try mixing onion soup mix as a seasoning? Its absolutely wonderful
No, sounds good though. Thanks for the idea.
I really like your video, I did learn a couple of things from it.
1. I was looking for a press but realized I will continue to make them by hand, (yes it is messy).
2. I too, have to purge my collection of stuff. (can't take it with me)
3. How about using olive oil instead of PAM, what is in PAM that makes it not stick?
Great video, keep it up.
Thanks, I often use the olive oil version of Pam. The oil is what makes it not stick.
Great video & good information, haven’t used mine yet. I seen it on the shelf and I figured I needed this in my life! If I may add just a bit of constructive criticism on the video... It would’ve been perfect if we could’ve seen the finished product a bit more closely. It’s the end result that is the most important.
Okay, thanks for letting me know.
Thx bro 🙏🏽
Any time👍
How long would you cook your burgers if they are frozen?
Good question. I've grilled thin frozen burgers on this grill in the summer in 7 minutes. If they're real thick, maybe 9 minutes. I have another grill that doesn't get as hot as this, so it would take about 10 minutes.
Thanks for the video! I will be making burgers today!
Sounds great! I would've loved to grill tonight, but the wind was kinda crazy.
I'm going to have to try this, my burgers always fall apart, haha. Thanks.
Cool, best of luck to you!
Thank you for your review of the Weber Burger Press. I bought one in my local hardware store here in Bergen, Norway yesterday, and was confused when I saw that there were no manual included. Your review really helped me understand how to use it. One thing though: do you know what the lock on the knob on the lid is for? Is it simply to take the knob off when cleaning it?
Thank you! Yes, I believe it's for cleaning purposes.
Same, bought one today and no manual or instructions. CZcams saves again. Thank you!
Nice video but two things, your opinion on the burger press doesn't come across clearly enough and you need a charcoal grill 😉
I'm a fan of charcoal cooking and actually have a Weber 22" and 14" I still use this burger press as my go-to.
Great video , but If im going to go through the trouble of making my own burgers I would definitely not use store bought meat , I would grind my own And I would use brisket , if you use wax paper on top and bottom they would pop right out.....Well done
Interesting, I can see by your name that making your own makes sense.
What is the point of the little lock image on the top of the knob? Is twisting this supposed to make it come out easier?
Never mind. I saw the Weber video - the lock is for taking the knob off to clean the lid. :)
Haha, that's correct!
He didn’t show close up of the FINISH burgers. This tells me the dimple didn’t work and they swelled up like an egg.
Thank man. I just bought one.
Happy grilling!
Why can't you use spray bottle water instead of pam?
My advice is to stick with using Pam.
What's ground chuck?
It's 80% lean, which is the best ratio for making burgers.
great review, now I know how to use my press :) thanks!
Great, thanks!
The Weber burger press didn't appear too imPRESSive (heh-heh!). I found the Cuisinart 3-in-1 burger press to be far superior: easy to make different sized burgers, including "sliders"; easy to make stuffed burgers; and the bottom comes out, along with the pressed burger, making it easy to remove the burger you made; and the entire thing is made of dishwasher safe plastic, and all the pieces fit together for easy and compact storage. And the Cuisinart 3-in-1 is less than $8.00 on Amazon, whereas the Weber burger press is $10.00!!!
I've never tried stuffed burgers yet. Thanks for the info, I'll have to check it out.
We've got a burger press you have to take apart to clean about a dozen parts, this press is easy to clean. I might grab one of these.
Nice, my friend has got one of them burger press :) and it is so handy :) Brilliant and big thumbs up on them delicious burgers :)
Spray the Pam on the cloth then wipe the press.
My meat keeps sticking when I use it why?
I put a little cooking spray inside the burger press. That helps them from sticking.
Weber’s worst invention. Pure shit
Ein super Video, danke dafür.
Thanks!! Bitte.
i wud plastic line the former FIRST......... add meat ...form it.... and use the liner as "handles" to pull the patty out ...even without the Pam
That works too.
How did the Emeril and Montreal Steak seasonings compare?
I like Montreal the best.
@@MarkThomasBuilder I'll give it a try thanks
Great review!
+theconman11 Thanks!
do not press the meat into the lid, just place it on the black part and press with the transparent lid down, the meat dont stuck and remains on the black part ;-)
Thanks, I'll try it that way and see if it helps.
Only in America can you get Olive oil in an aerosol can.
Haha, yep!
Thanks for the video! What is the lock for on the glass top?
I know it's 3 years later, but just in case others have the same question, as I did.. twist the knob to the "unlock" position and it will pull off of the clear half, to facilitate a good cleaning.
If it was extra virgin olive oil it would say it, that says olive oil on that spray.
Good wee video though.
Thanks, man!
Nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome video. For some reason my burgers have been sticking after i cleaned our weber q3100. Not sure how to fix it.
Use and grind half of a potato. The starch of the potato will create a non stick surface.
@@gabrielavila1226 thanks for the reply. 5 years on. I am now a master griller. 😀
@@tcoomer1989 yeah I didn’t notice it was 5 years ago until the message posted 😅
@@gabrielavila1226 lol all good. It's better late then never. And now your comment can help future generations. 😉🙂😄
The Tupperware Hamburger press is much better. Give it a try, you will be really very pleased.
I'm thinking that if I have to pre shape my burger, I might as well use my hands, Sir. :-( I hope they tasted good!
I've used my hands for years and they don't have as nice of shape as the Weber 6483.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Amen!
Way too much work. Just pat them out and put a dimple in the meat with your finger. Thanks for the review though. You talked me into not buying one.
I'm glad it helped with your decision.
I bought one of these and had to watch this video to understand it - I liked your video but absolutely NOT imPRESSed by the weber tool... I've seen much smarter burger presses around - I like the stamp-type ones better. I'll get one if I find one and put this away
Thanks for the honest feedback. I like the dimple it puts in the middle of the burger, which is different than the others. If I find a better one, I'll plan on reviewing it.
How about something like this : www.aliexpress.com/store/product/New-Hamburger-Patty-Mold-Stamp-Burger-Meat-Press-Progressive-Patty-Caddy-BBQ-Grill-Automatic-Press/103559_32613242979.html (random search) Looks easier/faster to form something usefull...
Looks simple to use. It says the item is no longer available :(
Yeah it sure looks like it could use some help with the sticking
I always put some olive oil on the grates and it seems to help.
@@MarkThomasBuilder I tried that one from Cuisinart and was not impressed.
Hi Mark
Hi Joey!
For me as a European, it is interesting to see that you Americans make not only bigger (in your country almost everything is XXL) burger, but also contentwise others: For my taste, onions and breadcrumbs are missing.
That's interesting. There's a local fast food place that offers triple burgers, so I understand you point about XXL.
Napoleon kit is much better and easier
I'll have to check it out.
Wax paper
Thanks goofy
More companies then weber use flavorizor bars.
Also, your grates are upside down.
I swear I followed the instructions about the grates. I'll have to look again. Thanks!
markthomasbuilder
The wide flat part is supposed to go "up."
Ok, good to know. Thanks!
Nope, they are designed to be used both ways. The wide flat side has a smaller gap so you can cook smaller food like veg etc and it less likely to get stuck, the thinner point side for your meats and larger items, least that is what Weber say. Sorry but been doing my research and just ordered the spirit 2 so I can at least get some decent BBQ's going during this self isolation! :)
Worst press I ever used. Period.
What's your favorite?
@@MarkThomasBuilder Cuisinart
0:47 ... who wants a UFO styled burger ??.... ughh why am i asking this question..... LoL! um sure some "weirdo" wud want this
Haha, yes it's kinda UFO shaped, now that you mention it.
Not much of a review...sorry

That thing looks like it sucks.
It's a handy burger press and works well. It's not the best out there, but works well.
Not a very good design
super)))5+
Thanks!
The weber burger press is garbage, sticks to the glass too much. I'll buy the Cuisinart
I spray mine lightly with Pam.
@@MarkThomasBuilder But even with the pam, you have a hard time getting it out. The cuisinart has a removable bottom that pops right out on the first try.
There is 8:48 minutes of my life that I will never get back...
Sorry. Have you found a better burger press?
9 min??? Thats a little overcooked for my liking...i like med to med rare 3-1/2 one side 2 min other!
No reaction to criticism huh? Lol
72 vegans disliked this video!
Wow, that's a lot! I heard the Impossible Veggie Burger tastes amazing!
as far as I understand this is a totally failed product , good thing I watched this before buying.
Overall, I'm happy with the way it works. I'm still looking the for ultimate press:)
