3.0 out of 5 stars It's okay but I can make a better Ham-Dog without it October 20, 2012

Length: 2:25 Mins

I have been on a little bit of a hot dog kick lately and I decided to try this little gadget out. It seems cute and well made. I used 80/20 ground beef and sprayed the inside of the Ham Dogger with a non-stick spray. In order to keep the ham dog from falling apart I had to hand roll it into a cylinder before I put it in the mold. The ham dog shrunk quite a bit during cooking so if I had it to do over I might have used a 90/10 ground beef mix although the resulting ham dog would not have been as tasty as it was.

My final conclusion is that, although this is an inexpensive, nifty little item, I can roll a better hot dog shaped hamburger with my own hands. I decided to make this little video so that you can judge for yourself. I hope that it is helpful to you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Much easier to just make thin patties and put two together. December 16, 2012

Much easier to just make thin patties and put two together. I guess it requires more than 9 words and now more words.

4.0 out of 5 stars Neat Gadget November 2, 2012

By CAS MARINO

I never suffered the desire of some to have hamburgers and hot dogs all be of uniform size and shape and fit one universal bun.

I believe in diversity. In people, and in grill meats.

What I DID salivate and jump joyously for was the fact that now virtually anything that can hold its form (either raw or mixed with a breading or dough or semi-frozen) can now be dogged, dipped, and fried on a stick.

I am still going nuts with the possibilities, but turn anything you want into a meatball paste, and dip it in tempura or beer batter, and ooh Daddy. I also bake them to insure they're cooked through.

But I have indeed also gone old-school and made meat mix into a no-casing sausage and pan grilled the result, and plainly and simply, this product easily does as it promises.

Unique multi-piece design makes for a bit of a learning curve, but also makes for brilliant clean-up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now I feel Like a Golf Pro eating a Hamburger Dog at the U.S. Open September 3, 2012

By BeachBumBob

Since I saw and read how a little hot dog stand, that is inside the Olympic Golf Course, San Francisco, that plays the U.S. Open course, called Hot Dog Bill's Hamburger Stand is such a big hit with the golfers for over nearly 50 years, I thought I'd give it a try to recreate it.

In one of the articles that I read, it said that members at Olympic could buy a meat mold, like the one at Hot Dog Bills in their Golf Pro shop, but when I went to their web page, I guess if you are a non-member you are not going to able to buy it.

So the next best thing was to buy something like it here on Amazon. All I can say is, that it will take a little time to get use to it and to determine the right amount of ground beef to put into it so it doesn't over flow the tube, but after awhile I got the hang to it and was able to come up some hamburger dogs, like the ones that the Daughter that took over her father's business at Hot Dog Bills on the golf club makes and Boy! did they taste great!

I seasoned them up with a little lawry's season salt, added some fresh cut onions and some Trader Joes organic ketchup, and I was forced to eat two! Ha Ha yes there was a gun to my head ha ha ha

Your Kids Will Love Um!

Just make sure that you get the bigger, more sturdy type hot dog buns at the market as the ball park buns I used were just ok. On youtube , just type hamburger dog in search and or look up All-American Burger Dog!, still on Youtube with the fun teaching chef from foodwishes , who will show you how he cooks his and season it right.

One of my friends that I cooked one up for is going to purchase one for his family, something for a nice change if you are going to do backyard BBQ's or picnics...... also can be used on a fry pan (and it's dishwasher safe)

All ready made a bunch up for today, the Labor Day Holiday

Update: 9/7/12 For those who are thinking to buy this product because you either read or saw on TV re: "Hot Dog Bill's" Hot Dog Stand that sells "Hamburger Dogs", and was looking to find their exact mold, then go to hotdogbills dot com (sorry I had to spell out dot com in luie of .com as I notice that amazon does not allow web sites in their reviews, so I hope you get the drift?) I still love my Ham Dogger, as Hot Dog Bill's sell thier H.D. Mold for over $25.00 over $30.00 for tax and shipping, but at least you can go to thier web site and just look at it and see the difference on how they make their Hamburger Dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really unique way to make burgers. September 25, 2011

By Boston Bean

This looked kind of gimmicky , but the reviews by the other customers moved me to try it. One of the reviews aid they used plastic wrap. I had some waxed burger paper sheets, so I thought I'd try them. I put the paper in the bottom, and added the hamburg, Then I pressed the meat, and after removing the rolled meat just rolled the paper around the rest of the meat, and put them in the freezer on a tray. When they were frozen I then put them in a freezer bag, for later use. Try it, it's a nifty little item, and it does a great job.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easier to roll it by hand January 5, 2013

By Roger Farnham

Yes the product works as described. I like the product but I rarely use it. The thing is that it is actually easier (for me) to simply roll out the hamburger by hand. I like to then fry the burger until done, roll it up in a corn tortilla, pin it with a toothpick, and toss it back into the pan to crisp the tortilla. Add a little salsa or other condiment and it is a new take on an old favorite. If you "roll your own" there is no cleanup at the end.

Easy to use and easy to clean. Used lean ground beef and a string cheese stick. Cooked it on the grill came out good. But they did look like turds on the grill.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun! May 13, 2010

I bought this with the intended use of making burgers that fit in hot dog rolls. I found it's also useful when making Italian sausage to form it without the use of casings! So easy to use and fun for kids & adults alike!
