Advantages vs. Electric Patty Machines
| Factor | Manual Hamburger Machine | Electric Patty Machine |
|---|
| Cost | 70–90% cheaper (80–80–300 vs. $1,000+) | High upfront investment |
| Power Needs | None – ideal for off-grid/truck use | Requires outlet or generator |
| Maintenance | Gears only → minimal upkeep | Motor/drive belt repairs |
| Portability | Lightweight (3–8 kg); countertop use | Heavy; often requires station |
| Hygiene | Fewer crevices; faster cleaning | Complex parts → bacterial risk |
Limitations
⚠️ Labor-Intensive: Unsustainable for volumes >500 patties/day.
⚠️ Speed Limit: Max ~6 patties/minute (vs. 20+/min electric).
⚠️ Meat Texture: Hand-packed may retain more structure than extruded patties.
Best Practices
Meat Temp: Use chilled ground meat (0–4°C) to prevent smearing.
Fat Content: Ideal 20–30% fat for cohesive patties.
Lubrication: Lightly oil molds if using lean meats.
