The Only Guide You’ll Ever Need For

The Most Perfect Burgers

Wet Hands Before Shaping

Wet your hands with cold water before shaping the ground beef to avoid any stickiness.

After shaping, make a small divot in the top centre of your patty. The meat tends to puff up in the middle as it cooks, so this keeps it flat for even cooking.

Don’t Overwork The Meat

Be sure to keep the mixing to a minimum! Overworking ground beef can break down its fat and make your meat dense instead of juicy and tender.

After shaping your patties, chill them in the fridge before cooking — this helps them hold their shape.

Season Just Before Cooking

Add salt and any other seasonings just before the patties go into the pan. If seasoned too early, the salt can easily dry the meat out!

You can also sprinkle a tiny bit of baking soda on your patties. This helps the meat brown better and gives it a rich flavour, thanks to the Maillard reaction.

Don’t Press, Just Flip

Don’t press down on the patty while it cooks — you wouldn’t want to squeeze all the juices out!

Let the first side develop a good sear before flipping it just once to avoid breaking or drying it out. Remember to add the cheese to the patty as soon as you flip it.

Let The Patties Rest

For a medium-rare burger, use a meat thermometer and cook the patty to around 55°C.

Once it’s ready, remove from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes. This gives the juices time to soak back into the meat, making it more tender and flavourful.

Toast Buns In The Pan

To prep your buns, slice them so they have a thicker top and a thinner base.

Toast them in the same pan you used to cook the patty so they can soak up all the leftover fat for an extra boost of flavour. Alternatively, toast them in browned butter.

Assemble In Reverse

Assembling your burger in reverse helps keep the buns from getting soggy, while also making it more stable when you take a bite!

Start with the sauce on the bottom bun, followed by veggies, then the patty and cheese, and finish with the top bun.
