Burger magic!

Round burgers are sooooooo 1971.

(This illustration came from a 1972 edition of the Family Circle Illustrated Library of Cooking.)

I have tried that and the hamburger never cooks so that it will keep it's shape.
A square ends up looking more like Arnold Schwarzenegger's head...the log one looks like doodie and the triangle's corners all cook away.

STUPID FAMILY CIRCLE!

Clearly this article was meant to drive bored housewives insane!

I will never be happy with a roundish burger again. Ever.

I prefer my hamburgers shaped like equilateral dodecahedrons, thank you.

Oh my god I have been drinking the koolaid for the round burger lobby all my life. It never occured to me that I could have my burger my shape. THAT post made my head explode. Once again the Dr is on the cutting edge. I am making donut shaped burgers tomorrow with melted cheese in the middle. Yeh..you heard me bitch...I am a rebel like Johnny Yumma was a rebel.

The hot dog burger is the worst.
That's what I want for dinner, a burger that looks like a turd.

A friend actually did the hot dog shaped ones for her 4th of July cookout -- she said it simplified shopping for buns because she was serving bratwurst, too. Like Karen said, the resulting "burgers" looked very turd-like.

What the hell is that one on the upper right, a boob burger?
