Tips, Tricks & Storing

Keep your hands wet when shaping the patties. This stops the mixture from sticking to your fingers.

For juicier burgers, don’t overwork the meat. Mix ingredients just until combined.

Make a small dent in the center of each patty. This helps them stay flat while cooking.

Let patties chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them hold their shape better.

Cook patties over medium-high heat. This creates a nice crust while keeping the inside moist.

Don’t press down on the burgers while cooking. This squeezes out the juices.

Store leftover cooked patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

You can freeze uncooked patties for up to 3 months. Place wax paper between them before freezing.

To reheat, microwave for 1-2 minutes or warm in a skillet over medium heat until hot.

Try different toppings like bacon, fried egg, or grilled pineapple for variety.
