The best thing about summer is its food. While holidays in winter can be delicious, there is nothing better than the warmth of the sun and the aroma of freshly grilled burgers. The hamburger is one of the most popular foods to grill. You might have forgotten how to grill the perfect hamburger, or you want some tips and tricks to improve your burger-making skills. Have no fear! This article will show you how to make your barbecue the talk of the town.
Cold, fresh, fat.
These are three words you might not normally associate. Before grilling a hamburger, make sure it is refrigerated. This will ensure that it stays cold and not at room temperature. Fresh meat is preferred whenever possible. Ask your local butcher or grocery store if they can grind it right in front of you. Fat is the final ingredient. Fat is not something to be afraid of, especially if it’s flavor you are after. Avoid buying meat that is less than 85% for your burgers. Remember that fat is the key to flavor.
Clear your grill.
Although it sounds easy, many people neglect to clean the grill before they cook their burgers. Believe the myth that grease on the grill makes burgers taste better. This is false! However, this is not true. Leftovers from your grill can affect the flavor and burn your burgers (even though the flames may seem cool to impress your friends but they are not as good for your taste). Make sure to oil the grill after removing the burgers.
Take a break from the seasonings.
You don’t need fancy seasonings if you want to make the best burgers. You only need salt, pepper, garlic, and optionally garlic. Do not add salt to the burger mix! Salt should be added at the end of each side, just before grilling. Next, we’ll discuss what you can do to the mixture.
Mix-ins
You might want to be more extravagant. Mix-ins and seasonings can be added to ground beef. You can add BBQ chips to your burger. It sounds strange, but it is possible. You can crush a few chips, but any flavor will do. Add the crushed chips to the meat mixture and grill the burgers. For extra fat and flavor, you can add butter to your mixture. You might try it out before you go to the big barbecue.
Let the burgers go & let the lid down!
It is tempting to flip your burgers over and over. The burgers should cook on their own. A burger should be a little crisp on the outside, but not too dry on the inside. You have a greater chance of it getting burned or undercooked if you play with it too much. Don’t press the hamburgers. People are also tempted to do so for this reason. When grilling burgers, it is tempting to press the meat. This can cause the meat to lose their flavor and juice. Don’t forget the juicy goodness!
Cheese at the end!
Do you want to add cheese? You can add cheese! Make sure to add it in the last 30 seconds so that it melts. Do not add it too soon or your cheese may melt.
Make sure to crisp the buns.
Crisp buns are the best. It should not be burned, but it should be crisp enough to crunch just a little. To get a crispy, warm bun, place the buns on the grill just a bit after the burgers have been cooked.
These tips can be used to help you get started, or maybe you’ll try your hand at experimenting on your own to find the best recipe. There are some guidelines that you can follow for burgers. However, there is still room to be creative!
