ToggleExpert Tips That I Recommend
- Gently shape the patties without overmixing so they stay tender and juicy. Don’t overmix, or they’ll get dense.
- Always make an indent in the center of each patty. This way, the burger won’t pop up while cooking.
- To keep patties in shape, let them rest for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling. This simple step will help the patties hold their shape.
- Avoid pressing the patties with a spatula while cooking, as it releases flavourful juices and dries them out.
- To get a properly browned crust, preheat the grill machine before adding the patties.
Recipe Variation for Different Diets
- Keto Version: Use keto buns instead of regular buns. Check whether mustard and mayonnaise are sugar-free.
- Gluten-Free: Use instead of regular buns. Also check whether ketchup and mustard contain additional ingredients like malt vinegar or barley, or whether they are gluten-free.
