Easy burger patties - no touching!

I don't like touching cold, raw hamburger meat, but we all love burgers for dinner.

I came up with this simple, nifty trick for making burger patties that are relatively equal in size, but don't require me to keep sticking my hands back into the meat bowl.

By the time I mix up the spices and the meat (bare handed), my hands are miserable... so I want to wash them and be done with the meat touching.

First, I decided to use my ice cream scoop to get even servings...

Next, to make them patties, I used my potato masher to get them flat.

And, then, tada
Decent looking patties with no touching!
