Napoleon Gourmet Slider & Burger Press Kit — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Napoleon Gourmet Slider & Burger Press Kit used for?
This kit helps you form uniform, high-quality burgers and sliders by hand easily and consistently. It features both a full-size burger press and a dual-chamber slider press, letting you make patties in your preferred size or thickness.
What are the key features & components?
- Dual-chamber slider press for making two sliders at once
- Full-size burger press, with a built-in indent tool (removable) for making stuffed burgers
- Nonstick, heavy-duty plastic construction for easy release of patties
- Removable bottom plates (for both the slider and burger sections) to simplify patty extraction
- Dishwasher safe parts for easier cleanup
How do I use the press—especially for stuffed burgers?
To make a stuffed burger, remove or flip out the cover from the handle, press an indent into the patty, add your filling (cheese, bacon, vegetables, etc.), then top with another layer of meat and press to seal. The slider press works similarly, but allows you to form two equal sliders at once. Use the removable bottom plate to lift out cooked or raw patties without damaging them.
How should I clean and maintain this press?
All components are dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward. After use, disassemble the removable bottoms and wash thoroughly. Dry each part before reassembly to prolong the life of the press. Avoid extreme force or sharp utensils when cleaning nonstick surfaces.
Are there any limitations or tips I should know?
Because it’s made of plastic, avoid exposing the press to very high heat or flames. Use gently and avoid warping the parts. The nonstick surface helps, but over time wear is possible. Also, stuffing too much material can make sealing harder, so moderate your filling layers. Many users suggest starting with thinner patties and practicing seal technique.
