Fast Food-Inspired Burger Molds

The Cave Tools Burger Press Ensures Meat Will Cook Evenly

— March 29, 2016 — Lifestyle
Those who have ever cooked a burger on the barbecue know the inevitable dimple that's created with round patties, so the Cave Tools Burger Press is intended to banish this notion.

Designed to press burgers into a square format, the press will hold about two pounds of ground meat and shape it into six separate patties. The square mold helps to ensure dimpling doesn't occur, but also makes the cooking process more even and quick.

Square burgers are the signature style of fast food chain Wendy's and are chosen by many to be the best shape to create the tastiest burger. The Cave Tools Burger Press enables chefs to copy this aesthetic and get that same deliciousness from their home grill.
Trend Themes
1. Square Burger Revolution - The use of square burger molds to create evenly-cooked burgers is a trend that will transform the fast food industry and home cooking.
2. Cooking Gadget Innovations - The market for cooking gadgets will continue to evolve as more innovative products like the Cave Tools Burger Press are developed and released.
3. Fast Food-inspired Home Cooking - Home cooks will continue to adopt fast food cooking styles and techniques, thanks in part to square burger molds like the Cave Tools Burger Press.
Industry Implications
1. Cooking Utensils - The cooking utensil industry has opportunities to develop and market new products that enable home cooks to replicate fast food cooking styles.
2. Fast Food - Fast food chains like Wendy's have the opportunity to capitalize on the popularity of their square burger style by selling their own burger molds or partnering with manufacturers like Cave Tools
3. Home Appliance - The home appliance industry can capitalize on the trend of home cooking by creating appliances specifically designed for fast food-inspired cooking styles like the use of square burger molds.
