Barbecue Mash-Up Molds

The Ham Dogger Crafts up Hybrid Cookout Cuisine

— July 29, 2012 — Lifestyle
What do you get when you combine a delicious sausage with a juicy burger? A ham dogger of course. This hybrid cookout creation consists of a hamburger shaped like a hot dog thanks to this cleverly engineered mold.

Just add your own special blend of ground meats into the device and watch it form into a peculiar mash-up meal. Whether you like to go with lean ground turkey or classic beef, the possibilities are endless with this offbeat kitchen item. Family cookouts and backyard barbecues will no longer be a hassle considering you only need to grab one type of bun for these franks.

The ham dogger mold provides grill masters a freakish, but potentially delicious alternative to traditional patties and burgers.
