Abstract
A frozen hamburger patty separator for separating a single hamburger patty from a frozen hamburger block including a U-shaped holding member having a bottom wall connected to front and rear walls for holding a frozen hamburger block in place. A U-shaped handle support component is connected to the holding member, and a blade support component is pivotally mounted on the handle support component. A separator blade is connected to the blade support component and is less than 2 inches from the pivotal mounting. A handle is connected to the blade support component for pivotally moving the separator blade between a separating position for separating hamburger patties from the frozen hamburger block and a non-separating position for allowing the frozen hamburger block to be moved along the holding member for holding the frozen hamburger block. The frozen hamburger patty separator is made of a material selected from the group consisting of durable plastic, steel, stainless steel, and aluminum for ease of cleaning and repeated use.
