Remta W38 Hamburger Patty Press, UFO Burger, Electric

Remta Electric Hamburger Patty Press - W38

Remta W38 is an electric press produced for preparing 10 cm diameter UFO burgers, sealing the edges of the bun to keep the patty, cheese and filling inside. Its 25 cm diameter cast cooking surface is Teflon coated. The bun toasts without sticking to the surface, and cleaning after service takes little time.

Thanks to the automatic thermostat, the temperature is set with the knob on the front panel, and the heating status is monitored via the indicator light. The long-handled lid design allows pressing without touching the hot surface. Its compact body takes up little space on the counter and can easily be added to the menu as an extra product in fast food outlets, cafes, kiosks and burger restaurants.

What Is a UFO Burger?

A UFO burger is a type of sandwich in which the edges of a round hamburger bun are pressed closed and the filling stays inside the bun. It takes its name from its flying saucer-like appearance after pressing. Toasted on the outside and hot on the inside, this product is suitable for takeaway and on-the-go service, as it can be eaten by hand without the sauce and filling spilling.

With the W38, in addition to the classic patty recipe, UFO burgers can also be prepared with different fillings such as chicken, sucuk, kashar cheese and vegetables. This flexibility allows a new product to be added to the existing menu without setting up a costly extra preparation area.

How to Prepare a UFO Burger with the W38?

In UFO burger preparation, the patty and fillings are usually cooked in advance, while the press is used to seal the edges of the bun and toast its outside. This way, the product is ready for service in a short time when an order arrives.

• Switch on the appliance and use the indicator light to check that heating is complete.
• Split the hamburger bun in two and place the bottom half on the cooking surface.
• Place the cooked patty, cheese and sauce in the center of the bun without letting them reach the edges.
• Close with the top half of the bun and press by lowering the long-handled lid.
• When the bun is toasted and the edges are sealed, remove the product from the surface and serve.

Keeping the filling away from the edges is important for the bun to seal properly. For the same reason, the amount of sauce should be kept moderate. Having patties and fillings ready before peak hours increases service speed.

10 cm Patty Forming Press

Since the burger diameter prepared by the W38 is 10 cm, it is important to form patties of the same size and even thickness. The Özlem Patty and Hamburger Forming Machine 10 cm shapes the meat mixture into a flat, round form, allowing patties compatible with the W38 to be prepared.

Patties of equal size cook in the same time and help maintain the same cost per portion. Models in different diameters are listed in the hamburger forming presses category.

Griddle for Cooking Patties

A cooking surface is needed to cook the patties, chicken and sucuk used in UFO burgers in advance. With its 67 x 37 cm surface and automatic thermostat, the Remta R85 Griddle makes it possible to cook many patties at the same time.

Suitable for intensive use with its stainless steel housing and fast-heating design, the griddle forms a preparation line from the same brand as the W38. Other models are listed in the electric griddles category.

Fryer for French Fries

French fries are a frequently preferred side in UFO burger menus. With its 8+8 liter double tank, the Remta R102 Electric Fryer allows fries and other fried foods to be prepared at the same time.

Its second thermostat provides fire safety, while its baskets with removable handles offer ease of use. Models with different capacities are listed in the electric fryers category.

Meat Mincer for Preparing Your Own Mince

Businesses that prepare their own patties can determine the fat ratio and flavor of the mince according to their own recipes. With its capacity of 250 kg per hour and digitally controlled cooling unit, the Empero No 22 Plus Meat Mincer allows mincing while keeping the meat cold.

Thanks to its single-phase 220 V connection, it can be used without additional electrical infrastructure. Other models are listed in the meat mincers category.

Cleaning and Maintenance

To ensure a long life for the Teflon-coated surface, metal spatulas, knives and hard scouring pads should not be used. Residues on the surface should be removed with a plastic or silicone spatula, and cleaning should be done with a damp cloth after the appliance has cooled down.

Before cleaning, the appliance should be unplugged, and the body and electrical connections should not come into contact with water. Regular cleaning at the end of the day prevents burnt residue from building up on the surface and helps products toast without sticking.
