This isn't a press but a neat way I found to freeze, thaw and makek patties without ever touching the meat. I put my 2 pound pkg. of meat in a gallon freezer bag,take my rolling pin and roll it out flat all the way to the top. It freezes very well and thaws fast because it is flat! I use scissors to cut from the middle of the bag all the way to the bottom and then left and right to make flaps. With it open I then take a butter knife and cut into squares, however big I want my burgers. I pick it up by the flaps and put on a plate to hand to the dh to grill. Never touched the meat! Lynn
