Hamburger Patty - Basic

10 min    2    meat, basic

Instructions

Equipment needed: burger press, wax paper squares or baking paper

Notes:

  • Make the burgers first and let them rest in the fridge. Take the mince out of the fridge about 30 minutes before grilling.
  • You can cut squares of baking paper to the size of your burger (check the size of your burger press).
  • Buy mince from the butcher. Supermarket mince contains water, which causes a lot of smoke on your BBQ and can lower the temperature.

Preparation:

  • Place the mince in a bowl and add the salt, Worcestershire sauce and pepper.
  • Mix everything together well.
  • Divide the mince into equal portions.
  • Shape each portion into a nice, firm ball.
  • Place the ball of mince in the burger press and press down firmly.
  • Place the burger on a sheet of baking paper.

Cooking:

  • Heat the BBQ to at least 200℃.
  • Cook the burger for 5-7 minutes per side over direct heat with the lid closed. Cook 4 minutes per side for medium.
