infy BURGER SOMMELIER: Pro Tips for Summer
A few pro-tips can take your burger to the next level.
- ground chuck should be around 20% fat, anything less than 15% makes for a dry burger
- the grill should be preheated, and cover closed while cooking
- to form a good crust, leave the patty alone for several minutes on the grill
- let the burgers be burgers: flip them only once, don’t play with them on the grill
- over high heat, a burger usually cooks in about four minutes per side
- cheese should be added as soon as the burgers are flipped, buns and toppings assembled and ready to go
Half sirloin, half chuck? Filet tips? Ribeye? It’s up to you. Keep an eye on that grill and you’ll be money.
