I picked up a couple 85/15 patties from the butcher counter today. These things are super thick, about 12 oz each! Any advice on how to handle these animals?

Flatten them out a bit and grill over a fire like a man. I swear this board is all women who just sous vide every piece of meat these days.

Agree with flattening them out a bit and put the divit in the center to keep them from drawing up much. Either grill or cast iron cook them.

I don't care for a burger that's too thick. Too hard to eat. I like the meat to cover the whole bun, though.

You laugh, but you can actually get the medium rare safely this way.

Don't feed the troll. Expand your horizons a bit.

Thick burgers are just different from thin burgers.

Indirect side of the grill and bring them up to temp slowly.
I typically bring them up to about 115, flipping often.

Then sear them off as your normally would with a burger.

I normally sear both sides good. Then move to cool side of grill to cook inside to desired temp.

Turn oven to broil 500. Place cast iron skillet in oven. No oil. When it is heated take out skillet. Throw in burgers. Put back in oven on top rack. 8-10 minutes for medium well. I regularly make my burgers in the half pound range and this works perfectly.

Why not just combine them and re-portion into 4 6 oz burgers or something?

12 oz just seems too big for a burger IMO
