I really love making burgers and I’m always up for trying new recipes. A couple of weeks ago when we were back in Glasgow I picked up a couple of new gadgets from Lakeland. Lakeland is the most amazing homewares company and the great news is that they deliver overseas!!!
My new gadgets were a burger maker and a quarterpounder press. Here is how I put the my burgerpress to good use… It’s similar to a previous recipe but still a work in progress in my never ending journey to find the perfect burger recipe.

Remind me to stop reading your blog in the morning, I get so hungry that I find it hard to make it to lunch! And burgers really are my thing. Damn, I’ll never learn!

Mmmm, I know what’s on the menu tomorrow. A small mid-American touch you can try, for variation: I replace the chili with a dash of tabasco and about 4 drops of worcestershire, and I always use 1-2 tablespoons of oatmeal flakes and an egg, for 500g. The key to getting them right is to make sure the first side is cooked firm over relatively high heat before flipping.
