SWMBO bought a hamburger press at Harbor Freight last weekend. So I'm getting ready to use it... unpack it... to find "Assembly and Operating Instructions". (WTF?? It's a hamburger press, for Pete's sake!)The following is directly quoted from that document:Safety Warnings and PrecautionsWARNING: When using Hamburger Press, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment. Read all instructions before using this product!1. Avoid working alone. If an accident happens, an assistant can bring help.[...]4. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the cooking area. Do not let them handle Hamburger Press.5. Store idle equipment. When not in use, Hamburger Press must be stored in a dry location to inhibit rust. Always lock up Hamburger Press and keep out of reach of children.[...]7. Maintain Press with care.

100% beef!

They probably use cow hair for fillers so they can claim 100% Bovine products.
