How To Use the Tastee-Ring Burger Press

Use a strip of plastic wrap slightly wider than press. Lay one end over base.  Place a lemon sized amount of food on the plastic in the base.

Fold plastic over food, press firmly with top. 

After first press, fold loose plastic edges over patty, then repress to seal.  Ready for use or storage.

Plastic Wrap is the Key

Using plastic wrap with the Tastee-Rings Patty Press is a convenient way to prepare and store large quantities of food. The grooved patties freeze faster and stay in quality condition, making them readily available for quick meals and cookouts. Patties are 4½ inches in diameter, but the weight and thickness of the patties is controlled by the amount of food used. The thinnest patty weighs about 3 ounces and is about 3/8 inch thick. Just add more food to make thicker patties.

Tips for Preparing Better Patties

• Select a plastic food wrap with good stretch and self-adhering qualities.
• Adjust patty thickness to your choice by using more or less food.
• Patties of a soft, sticky nature should be chilled or frozen before removing plastic wrap.
• Freeze patties on a flat tray, in a single layer, with folded plastic edges down to better preserve grooves.
• For long term storage, place convenient numbers of frozen patties in closeable freezer bags.
• Plastic film pulls easily from frozen patties. (Always Remove Before Cooking)

Caribou Burgers

Ingredients

1 pound ground caribou
4 ounces ground pork
Salt
Fresh ground black pepper
½ medium onion, chopped
Bread crumbs or other cereal, optional
Your favorite burger spices, herbs and condiments to taste
1 egg, to bind the ingredients

Because caribou has so little fat, you’ll need to add some pork for a juicy burger.

Mix all the ingredients handling as little as possible. Heat grill or broiler. Brush burgers with vegetable oil and grill about 4 minutes; turn and cook to desired doneness. Serve on rolls with your choice of condiments.

Venison Burger with Soy Sauce

Ingredients

1 pound ground venison
1 Tbs. oil, optional Garlic powder, to taste
4 Tbs. soy sauce

Shape venison into patties 1 inch thick. Sprinkle both sides with garlic powder

If fat was added to meat when ground, cook in un-greased skillet.  Salting the skillet lightly will keep burgers from sticking. Otherwise, add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. As the burgers begin to fry, pour 1 tablespoon of soy sauce over each patty. The salty flavor of the soy sauce combined with the garlic powder adds a new dimension to venison burgers.

Barbecue Venison Burgers

Ingredients

1 pound ground venison
½ pound ground pork
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. onion powder
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. Accent
½ cup water
1 Large bottle Barbecue Sauce

Mix all ingredients together except for water and barbecue sauce. Form patties per press instructions. Brown in large skillet or grill, drain grease and return to low heat. Add water and barbecue sauce and simmer for 45 minutes.

Possum Patties 

Ingredients

1 pound Opossum

1 large onion (finely chopped)

1 cup chopped Polk

1 cup of lard

Remove Possum from road real soon.  You don’t want him to get too ripe.

Dip Possum in scalding water (make sure he is really dead first and not just playing possum)  Remove skin and hair from Possum and then cut the best part of the meat off the bones.  Try not to get too much fat or gristle. Put meat in meat grinder and turn handle until all the possum meat comes out.  You may want to repeat this step so that the meat is finely ground. Mix first three ingredients and make into patties with our handy dandy burger press.  Heat lard in cast iron skillet until it is real hot.  Then fry them “Possum Patties” until they are golden brown on both sides (turning once). 

Can be served with lots of catsup.

Yield:  4 to 5 patties
