About Burgers
A good burger is a simple thing. It is a seasoned patty, a soft bun and toppings that suit your taste. You can cook it on the grill, in a skillet or in the oven, so it works in any kitchen and any season.
This section has three kinds to choose from. Beef burgers are rich and classic. Chicken burgers are lighter and take well to herbs and spices. Veggie burgers are made from beans, grains or vegetables and are a good meatless meal. Pick the one that fits your table tonight.
Questions folks ask
What is the best way to cook burgers?
Grilling, pan-frying and baking all work well. Use whichever you have, and cook until the patties are done all the way through for the meat you chose.
How do I keep burgers from falling apart?
Keep the mix cold, shape the patties firmly but gently, and flip only once. Veggie patties often do better with a binder like egg or breadcrumbs.
Can I make burger patties ahead of time?
Yes. Shape them, separate them with parchment, and keep them in the fridge for a day or freeze them for longer. Cook them when you are ready.
Kitchen tips
- Keep the meat cold until you shape the patties so they hold together.
- Handle the mix gently. Pressing too hard makes a tough burger.
- Press a small dimple in the center of each patty to help it cook flat.
- Let cooked patties rest a couple of minutes before you build the burgers.
- Toast the buns lightly so they do not turn soggy.
