I am lucky enough to have some pretty incredible grillers in my life. I am not the grill master, I am not as bad as Tom, but I lack bbq skills. If you need some help at the grill here are five tips from chefs and other experts on how to cook the PERFECT burger.
1. Aim for an 80-20 meat-to-fat ratio. An 80-20 ratio gives a good balance of moisture and flavor.
2. Base your patty size on what cooking surface you use. A good rule of thumb is when you’re cooking on a griddle, use around four ounces of beef . . . on the grill, aim for a 6 to 8 ounce patty . . . and when pan searing, a 7-ounce patty holds up to the higher heat and won’t overcook because of the thickness.
