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)
