My Tips For A Perfect Burger

💡 TIP #1 : Don’t overmix the meat. I mix the seasonings first and then add the beef for minimal mixing. And these are my favorite mixing bowls -- sturdy with a non-slip bottom, so they don't slide around.

💡 TIP #2 : Wash your hands with cold water and form the patties gently. Warm hands and tight packing = tough burgers. Now you know.

💡 TIP #3 : Make a thumbprint in the center. This prevents them from puffing up.

💡 TIP #4: Always, always preheat. Whether you're using the grill, a cast iron grill pan, or just a regular skillet, preheating well is crucial to ensure a perfect sear and crispy edges.

💡 TIP #5 : Don’t press down. Unless you’re making smash burgers, and even then only in the very beginning! Pressing squeezes the juices right out.

💡 TIP #6 : For smash burgers, press down hard and fast as soon as they hit the pan. I go for about 1/4 inch thick using a large metal spatula, but a burger press, mini cast iron skillet, heat-safe plate, or even a ramekin all work, too.

💡 TIP #7: Don’t cut into burgers to check doneness — it lets the juices run out. I use this meat thermometer instead for perfect results every time. Aim for 130 F for medium rare, 140 F for medium, 150 for medium well, or 160 for well done. Let them rest off the heat to rise another 5 degrees from there.
