When it comes to making a hamburger, there are several core steps that need to be taken. Any one of which ignored will lead to a less than fabulous hamburger meal hot of the grill! You've done the preparations as far as coalescing the right ingredients with the best ground beef available at your local supermarket. You've left your patties in the fridge to marinate overnight, and now it's ready to get to the grilling! A very important step that many grill chefs forget is that they need to make sure the grill is very hot- searing hot- before they should even place the patty on the grill. This way, not only do you allow the juices and natural flavorful oils from seeping in and romancing the patty, but you also prevent the hamburger from falling to pieces! This is especially important during the flipping step of the patty. If the grill wasn't hot enough when you put the slabs of patties on it, it will most likely fall apart when you attempt to flip it or when you try to serve it. It isn't necessary to flip it too many times depending on the hotness of the grill, but you can feel free to move it around and flip it as you deem necessary to get the patties just the way you like it. |
