Good solution 2J. Nuther helpful hint if you need it, which you may not...

... when I work with meat like that I like my plastic thicker than regular plastic wrap so I slit open the sides of a Ziplock sandwich bag and use it. Sometimes the meat still wants to stick to the plastic so I just use my finger and rub cooking oil over the plastic so the meat doesn't stick to it.

Also, if you'll get a little bowl of cold water and set it where you're working, get your hand wet in it before you pick up the pressed patties and it will keep them from sticking to your fingers then.

I chop lots of vegetables for our various meals and my hands would get really chapped in the winter, plus I hate the feel of uncooked meat. I had a box of disposable gloves left after OB's halo traction was removed and I not longer had to clean his pin sites, I started using the gloves for chopping vegetables and skinning raw (store-bought!) chickien, and I love 'em. You can get 'em on sale at Walgreen's, and I think Paper Warehouse carries a thinner variety.

Those are some good tips. When I was working with the plastic, I was thinking wax paper might have even been better.
