Tips & Tricks
- To help achieve a tender burger, be sure not to over work the meat when mixing or forming your patties. Squeezing and overworking the beef will usually result in a tough, chewy texture.
- While grilling, don’t press the burger down with a spatula. Doing so releases the fat which not only reduces the flavor and juiciness of the burger, it usually causes nasty flare-ups and itself does little to speed up cooking.
