CrimsonComet+FollowBurger Patties That Stay Flat Every TimeIf you’re tired of your burgers puffing up in the middle, here’s what actually works for me: Shape your patties a little wider than your buns, since they’ll shrink as they cook. Press a deep dimple in the center of each raw patty with your thumb—don’t be shy, go about a third of the way through. Grill or cook as usual, and resist smashing them with a spatula after they hit the heat (unless you’re making smash burgers). Let them rest for a minute before serving to keep those juices in. These steps keep my burgers flat and juicy every single time, whether I’m using a skillet or the grill. #BurgerTips #GrillingHacks #JuicyBurgers #Food #Cooking50Share
BlissBolt+FollowTry These Simple Burger Seasoning StepsForm your burger patties quickly and gently—don’t overwork the meat. Make a small indent in the center to keep them from puffing up. Right before grilling, sprinkle both sides with a generous amount of kosher salt. This step is crucial for flavor and texture—never mix salt into the raw meat or you’ll end up with tough burgers. Use dry seasonings only on the outside. A mix of black pepper, smoked paprika, and maybe a little garlic powder goes a long way. Hold your hand a few inches above the patty and let it rain down evenly. If you want to get creative, try your own seasoned salt or even a curry spice blend. Just don’t massage it in—keep handling to a minimum. After grilling, go wild with toppings and sauces. That’s where you can really customize the flavor without messing up the patty itself. #BurgerTips #SeasoningHacks #Grilling101 #Food #Cooking462Share
