Looking like I may have to buy one and find out.

I’ve wondered about these.
Just seems expensive for what you get.

Sadly, even fabricated stainless steel is expensive. Given the price of my Buffalo burger press and other similar items, it seems par. I’ve ordered one - bought kofta mix last week so will report in due course.

Ive got a similar thing, never used it, got it when a butcher went bust on me.
I should probably sell it

Seen these recently. On the wish list for items I think. Certainly adds to the product range going into BBQ season

Exactly this ^^^ I hate making sausages and this seemed an easier route to go with burgers

Whilst we are awaiting the results from wytonpjs with trepidation and excitement, I have bought a plastic version of this and will feed back results as to whether or not it is worth buying the expensive version.

Interesting that they don't show the cutter! Now I'm waiting with trepidation to see if you really have the better bargain

Still not arrived though - might be one of the packages due today. I'm butchering Sunday so hopefully, not long!

You just use a knife. Preferably sharp, and that is another subject completely as it is a skill I really need to get to grips with.

Hence the slots - got to be a tad accurate in pushing the knife through initially, thereafter should be ok. Perhaps a tad beyond my competence...............

I knew it was one of those weeks! Just chased up where it was only to discover the order didn't "complete" - entirely my fault

Should be here Tuesday now

Hope your attention to detail was better in the day job. .
In saying that, I was off on a bike trip and my mate came to a stop, put his foot down on gravel, slipped and dropped his bike. Luckily I didn’t laugh as I did it two hours later.

Could do the same by hand or using tin foil? But like the idea

 

[Morkai]

I got myself some flat skewers and make them like this.

Loads better than round ones on sticks and the shape gives nice crispy bits.

 

[The Singing Stalker]

Doing it by hand or with metal skewers is fine for domestic use.
For selling, we need consistency.

They sells presses for these, so you can bang them out quickly and all uniform.

Plus, they look better and cook better than the cylindrical ones.

Well, mine's finally arrived and in the flesh so to speak (my cock up) and its much smaller than I'd imagined

The holes are only 20mm diameter so the koftas (or grillsticks as the instructions call them) won't be quite the size I'd thought - think chipolata verses porker. It is however very well made out of quality high-grade stainless steel and manufactured well, not like some shiny thin plate Chinese ones I've seen.

Hope to give it a go in the next few days.
