Frequently Asked Questions - 07-0701 Weston

How to adjust the patty thickness?

Turn the wing nut counterclockwise to the top of the threaded rod. Adjust the thickness adjustment knob to align the desired weight marking with the top edge of the hamburger press. Then tighten the wing nut without over-tightening.

How to use the hamburger press?

Place a 6.4 cm (2 ½ in) meatball on the base. Close the lid by pressing to form the patty. Use the compaction/ejection button to compact and facilitate removal. Remove excess meat around.

How to clean the device?

Thoroughly clean the hamburger press before and after each use with hot soapy water. Dry it immediately to prevent rust. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

What cooking temperature for ground meat?

Cook ground meat to an internal temperature of at least 71°C (160°F) to destroy bacteria. For whole steaks, a temperature of 63°C (145°F) is sufficient.

How to avoid cross-contamination?

Always separate raw foods from cooked foods. Use different cutting boards, wash your hands after handling raw meat, and do not reuse the same dish without washing it.

What to do if meat sticks to the hamburger press?

Place a sheet of wax paper on the base before placing the meatball. This will facilitate the removal of the patty. Make sure the meat is very cold (between 2 and 4°C).

What is the warranty for the Weston 07-0701?

Weston offers a one-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. To benefit from it, you must send the warranty card with a copy of the purchase receipt within 30 days.

How to contact customer service?

Call 1-800-814-4895 (United States) or 001-440-638-3131 (outside United States) Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET. You can also email [e-mail].

Can frozen meat be used?

It is recommended to use meat at a temperature between 2 and 4°C (36–40°F). Frozen meat will not allow proper forming and could damage the device. Thaw it in the refrigerator before use.

How to store the device after use?

Wash and dry the hamburger press thoroughly before storing. Keep it in a dry place, away from humidity, to prevent rust and deterioration.

CLEANING & ASSEMBLY

Before and after each use, disassemble and wash all parts of this product that come in contact with food. Wash all parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse with clear water. Dry immediately. This product is NOT dishwasher safe.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

4. Clean all pieces in warm, soapy water. Rinse with clear water. Dry immediately.

2. Place the Adjustment Press Plate inside of the Main Body chamber guiding the Push Rod into the Adjustment Knob.
3. Slide the Spring over the exposed portion of the Push Rod, and screw the Compressing/Ejector Button onto the Push Rod.

MAKING PATTIES

1. Mix meat with your favorite seasonings.
2. Form the meat into 2 12 " (6.4 cm) balls. Size of the patties will depend on the amount of meat used for each patty. NOTE: When adjusting your patty weight, allow for 10% to 20% shrinkage when fully cooked.
3. Adjust the Thickness Adjustment Knob to the desired patty thickness. FIGURE 1
4. Close the Main Body lid down and press to form the perfect patty. To compact the patty, press down the Compacting/Ejector Button.

HELPFUL TIP: Place a piece of waxed patty paper under the meat and another on top of the meat before closing the Hamburger Press. This will make it easier to remove the patty. For best results, meat should be between 36^(2^) and 40^(4^) .

FOOD SAFETY

There are basic rules to follow when handling food.

They are COOK, SEPARATE, CLEAN, and CHILL.

COOK

It's crucial to cook food to a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria that is present. The safety of hamburgers and other foods made with ground meat has been receiving a lot of attention lately, and with good reason. When meat is ground, the bacteria present on the surface is mixed throughout the ground mixture. If this ground meat is not cooked to at least 160^ to 165^ (71°C to 74°C), bacteria will not be destroyed and there's a good chance you will get sick.

Solid pieces of meat like steaks and chops don't have dangerous bacteria like E. coli on the inside, so they can be served more rare. Still, any beef cut should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145^ (63°C) (medium rare). The safe temperature for poultry is 180^ (82°C) and solid cuts of pork should be cooked to 145^ (63°C).

SEPARATE

Foods that will be eaten uncooked and foods that will be cooked before eating MUST ALWAYS be separated. Cross-contamination occurs when raw meats or eggs come in contact with foods that will be eaten uncooked. This is a major source of food poisoning. Always double-wrap raw meats and place them on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator so there is no way juices can drip onto fresh produce. Then use the raw meats within 1-2 days of purchase, or freeze for longer storage. Defrost frozen meats in the refrigerator, not on the counter.

When grilling or cooking raw meats or fish, make sure to place the cooked meat on a clean platter. Don't use the same platter you used to carry the food out to the grill. Wash the utensils used in grilling after the food is turned for the last time on the grill, as well as spatulas and spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat as it cooks.

Make sure to wash your hands after handling raw meats or raw eggs. Washing hands with soap and water, or using a pre-moistened antibacterial towelette is absolutely necessary after you have touched raw meat or raw eggs. Not washing hands and surfaces while cooking is a major cause of cross-contamination.

CLEAN

Wash your hands and work surfaces frequently when you are cooking. Washing with soap and warm water for at least 15 seconds, then dry with a paper towel.

CHILL

Chilling food is very important. The danger zone where bacteria multiply is between 40^ F and 140^ F ( 4^ C and 6^ C). Your refrigerator should be set to 40^ F ( 4^ C) or below; your freezer should be 0^ F (- 17^ C) or below. Simple rule: serve hot foods hot, cold foods cold. Use chafing dishes or hot plates to keep food hot while serving. Use ice water baths to keep cold foods cold. Never let any food sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours - 1 hour if the ambient temperature is 90^ F ( 32^ C) or above. When packing for a picnic, make sure the foods are already chilled when they go into the insulated hamper. The hamper won't chill food - it just keeps food cold when properly packed with ice. Hot cooked foods should be placed in shallow containers and immediately refrigerated so they cool rapidly. Make sure to cover foods after they are cool.

NOTE: Special considerations must be made when using venison or other wild game, since it can become heavily contaminated during field dressing. Venison is often held at temperatures that could potentially allow bacteria to grow, such as when it is being transported. Refer to the USDA Meat and Poultry Department for further questions or information on meat and food safety.
