Burger Cooking Tips
Use High-Quality Meat
The key to a delicious burger is using high-quality meat. Look for freshly ground beef with a high fat content. The fat will add flavor and keep the burger juicy during cooking.
Season the Meat
Don’t forget to season your burgers with salt and pepper before cooking. You can also add other seasonings, like garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce, for an extra kick of flavor.
Make Evenly-sized Patties
To ensure your burgers cook evenly, make sure the patties are the same size. Use a scale or your hands to divide the meat into equal portions before shaping into patties.
Get Your Grill Hot
Preheat your Z Grill to 350°F before cooking. This will ensure that the burgers cook quickly and evenly.
Avoid Flipping Too Often
Flipping the burgers too often can cause them to fall apart and lose their juiciness. Aim to flip the burgers only once, halfway through cooking.
Use a Meat Thermometer
The surest way to know when your burgers are done is to use a meat thermometer. Insert it into the center of the patty. When the temperature reaches 160°F, your burgers are done.
