Start with good
meat. Get a butcher to grind chuck beef for you with
a 15% fat content.
(More fat and it will just drip off the meat and
cause fire flare-ups; less and the burgers will be dry.) If
possible,
buy the meat the day you’re going to cook it.

Choose your cooking
method. The homemade burgers can be cooked with a
broiler or grill,
fried in the skillet or frying pan, or barbecued.
They can also be baked. The method used depends on what you
have
available and what you prefer by way of taste and texture.
Whichever
method you choose, after taking the patties out of the
fridge, spritz
them with a little cooking oil or brush them with some melted
butter
before cooking.
Broiler/grill:
Preheat the broiler (upper level grill) to medium
heat. Line a broiler
pan with foil, for easier cleanup after cooking.
Place the burgers in the broiler pan. Broil them for 6-7
minutes on each
side or until
thoroughly cooked.
