Hot off the Press Smash Burger Meat Press
Forming a perfectly shaped burger patty can often be a challenge. This Hot off the Press Smash Burger Meat Press is the ultimate tool (and secret…shhh!) for creating mouthwatering burgers. The press is designed to effortlessly shape and flatten your burger patties, resulting in a juicy and flavorful burger. When using on a griddle, press and hold the burger down with the press for crispy edges. It’s sure to impress! This press can also be used for making appetizers like quesadillas, mini tacos, and more!
Corn on the Cob Butterers
Grilled corn is the best way to enjoy those sweet kernels of pure joy (in our opinion, at least). These fun Butter Boy and Butter Girl gadgets make for a mess-free way to enjoy corn-on-the-cob!
Here’s how it works:
Simply insert a stick of butter through the bottom of Butter Girl/Boy, press the square plastic piece through to hold it in place, and gently push up to make the butter dispense out of Butter Girl/Boy’s head.
Roll Butter Girl/Boy over your corn to ensure an even, delicious layer of butter every time. Salt and pepper on top and you are good to go! No more messy hands or uneven buttering - and fun for kids of all ages!
Corn on the Cob Holders
Bring a smile to the table with these adorable Butter Baby Corn Holders! Simply press the holders into the ends of the cooked ear of corn to avoid touching the hot corn. Butter your corn with Butter Girl/Butter Boy, and you are ready to go! Each pair also interlocks together for smaller and safer storing.
