Secrets to making the perfect burger

To make hamburger patties juicy, you need to properly fry them.

To do this, it is advised to use the following tricks:

  1. The larger the diameter and thickness of the cake, the juicier it will turn out.
  2. Cutlets should be formed with wet hands. At the same time, they must be repulsed, throwing from one hand to another.
  3. To prevent juice from flowing out, it is necessary to fry the cutlet over high heat for a few seconds, and then reduce it when the crust is browned.
  4. Do not touch the patty often during frying. It is necessary to wait until one side of the cake is browned, and then turn and fry until cooked on the other side.
  5. You can’t press on top with a spatula, otherwise all juices will come out of the meat.

To get the perfect burgers, you should use some recommendations:

  1. It is important to make sure the meat is fresh. Better if 1 kg is only 20% fat.
  2. To cutlets were the same, you need to use special cooking rings.
  3. It is important to properly assemble the sandwich: first put the sauce on both halves, then lettuce leaves, and then the cutlet. So the roll will not get wet quickly.
  4. Do not get carried away with spices. If the meat was chosen correctly, it does not need seasonings, except salt and pepper.

The basic principle of building a hamburger is the more tender the product, the farther it should be from the cutlet. Otherwise, any experiments are welcome.
