Tips for Making the Most Delicious Burger Recipe

To get a tasty and juicy result, you should try some of these tips when making a burger recipe:

Get the right meat cut- the type of meat you buy is important for the texture of your burgers; using high-quality meat that would make your burgers moist is important, like brisket, short rib, and chuck. They are all good meat cuts to use for your burger recipe.

Do not pack too much meat for your patties- for you to achieve that juicy texture for your burgers, avoid using too much meat when making your patties, instead make a thinner patty of around 4-5 ounces, this not only allows you to get a juicy burger but it becomes easier to cook. Try using one pound of meat to make four patties and 2 pounds of meat to make eight patties.

Add some butter to your buns- adding butter on your buns before and even after your grill or baking them adds a bit of sweet toasted flavor to your burger. For the best bun option for burgers, try using a softer bun like challah or brioche roll. To toast your bun, place them on a baking sheet and toast in an oven for 2 to 3 minutes.

Press thumb the patties when shaping them- pressing your thumb into the uncooked patties would help give them a good shape once cooked. Most burgers tend to swell up when it is cooked, so when you make an indentation with your thumb in the center of your party, once the patty is being cooked, the mark would disappear and leave you with a fine flat-shaped patty that isn’t shrunk up too.

Use the right Crisp lettuce and meaty tomato- lettuce and tomato are the basic vegetables in burgers. To get a good burger’s full flavor and texture, use crispy lettuce and meaty tomato like the San Marzano. Also, remember to place them correctly with the lettuce underneath the patty and the tomato above; this arrangement allows the juices of the tomato to mix with the patty and the lettuce underneath prevents the juices from entering the bun.

Place the pan after pre-heating the oven-  placing the pan in the pre-heated oven and leaving it for 5 minutes before removing it and placing your patties makes the patties lock their juices nicely when it is finally placed on the pan. Don’t forget to spray the pan with a nonstick cooking spray before cooking.

Cover your burgers with aluminum foil- this helps with retaining and locking the moisture in the patty, which would result in a juicy burger. Another use of aluminum foil in baking burger patties is to reduce the mess on the baking sheet when placed below the patties.

Use a rack to separate the fat from the meat for a low-fat burger recipe- placing a rack over a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil would help separate the patties from the drippings and fat produced when cooking.
