How do you prefer your burgers cooked?

[ronbrad62]

I just did burgers indoors, Smashburger style, because the weather called for rain. I seldom do them that way unless I use my Blackstone. I really miss that method and I think I prefer them that way. How do you like yours?

I don't really have a "grill" so most of the time they are on my yard sale cast Lodge cast iron griddle inside.

I been digging griddle burgers Lately - Not smash burgers but reg patties with Cavendars Greek seasoning and W sauce......

Griddle/pan burgers are fine. Grilled (open fire) burgers taste much better IMHO

I had to vote for "It doesn't matter..." because I started with direct grilled burgers. Then moved to indirect burgers, seared at the end. Next was smash burgers on a griddle. And new to me are sous vide burgers seared on a griddle.

Where is the "By Me" option? :laugh:

I have not tied that, yet, but will need to.


I had to vote doesn’t matter. We like em grilled or griddled.

I rarely fry my burgers. When I do I use a cast iron skillet for frying. My go to method is using a Kettle with the indirect method. Burgers that are 80% lean that weigh 180g (6.3 oz) are rubbed and cooked 15 minutes on one side, flipped and ten minutes later I check the internal temp and if it hits 160F, it is done! Lately I have been using my 18" WSM for cooking burgers and I do not use the waterpan. Same method and cooking time as on the Kettle.

Steaks on the grill, Burgers on the griddle.

Used to be a die hard burger griller, but once I tried them on a HOT griddle, I've not looked back. I love the crust I get from using the griddle, which isn't possible on a grill. I will concede that a properly grilled burger has a wonderful smoke flavor, but I simply prefer the crust.

Guess it depends on what you like. Flattop burgers are fine. I prefer burgers with grill marks, where only part of the burger gets crispy.

I'm a fan of both but lately I've been making Oklahoma onion smash burgers on the blackstone, seasoned with my home smoked salt blend.
Kinda get the flavor of both worlds.

Rare to medium rare.

Oh, what do I cook em on? Anything hot enough.

 

[SMOKE FREAK]

Just grilled em stuffed with lots of blue cheese and topped with pepper jack. Roasted green chile and a toasted bun. :clap2:

 

[LYU370]

Either one is fine. Although it's either on the Joe or the gasser since I got rid of the Blackstone. Was way too messy.

 

[SMOKE FREAK]

Yes. I like my burgers cooked.

 

[BuffettFan]

It just hit me!

"I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Hienz 57 and French fried potatoes. Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer!"

It’s either on the gas grill out back, or on a frying pan in the kitchen.

Just did the first on on a cast iron pan in a while and forgot how well they sear the meat.

I just found this video and may try basting the next on in butter.

I'd be happy with that burger!
I do prefer more on the rare side, though.

Can I change my vote to "doesn't matter"? I love steak tartare.
