Operating Instructions

- Place the main press body on a flat, stable surface.
- Form a ball of ground meat (up to ¾ lb) and place it into the main press body.

2. Making Stuffed Burgers
- Place the main press body on a flat, stable surface.
- Form a ball of ground meat (approximately ⅓ to ½ lb) and place it into the main press body.
- Detach the inner part of the press handle/lid (the smaller circular piece). Use the outer ring of the press handle to create a deep cavity in the center of the meat.
- Fill the cavity with your desired ingredients (e.g., cheese, sautéed onions, bacon bits). Do not overfill.
- Form a smaller, thinner patty with additional ground meat and place it on top of the filling to seal the burger.
- Reattach the inner part to the press handle/lid and press down firmly to seal the stuffed burger.
- To remove the stuffed patty, push up on the bottom plate of the press.

Grilling Tips:
For best results, ensure your grill is preheated to the appropriate temperature for your meat type. Avoid pressing down on burgers too much during grilling, especially stuffed ones, to retain juices and fillings.
