Hello eras amus. I knew I would get flack for the way I like my burgers. That is why in the video I tell the viewers when to take it off for rare, medium rare, medium, and medium well. I don't like the texture of rare through medium well burgers, I think they are too mushy... I do like my steaks rare or medium rare... but burgers... mediium well going into well is the right temp for me. Take care!

@@Viewtoagrill Wonderful video! I also like my hamburgers cooked medium well to well done. With 80/20 hamburger meat, there is absolutely no reason not to eat them any other way IMO. They are juicy and delicious and without any risk of E. coli poisoning. Believe me you don't want that; I had the misfortune of getting E. coli poisoning by eating a medium rare hamburger and spent 6/days and 7 nights in the hospital. I have tried your method and the hamnurgers are absoutely 100% done, 100% tasty and 100% juicy and moist. No need to risk anything by eating a lesser cooked hamburger in my opinion! Keep up the great videos!

I've seen a few cooks say that salting early causes the meat to stiffen up. Have you noticed any difference between salting before putting the patties in the fridge or salting them right before throwing them on the grill?

@Viewtoagrill 10 ай бұрын

While the meat is in the refrigerator the meat will get cold and stiffen. Putting the meat on the counter and letting it relax will allow the meat to losen and get soft again. Watch my 8 mistake when grilling steak video. There is a part in there where I talk about letting a steak relax.. same concept.

Forward sear hamburger patties? OK. Your mentioning of leaving the patties a little loose is interesting, never have I heard of this. I believe it has merit.
