Yeah - you could probably do pretty well with an 8 inch baking dish,
smush in yer meat mixture, bang it a few times on the counter to get

have fun and fewer tools to wash.

The gadget is just one more thing to use once, store for years, then
regret and relegate to the thrift shop pile. I saw a carload of em in
Big Lots and even there they didn't sell. I think they were 3 bux.
