If you handle the meat gently, it'll stay soft. The harder you treat it, the harder it is. Simple science.

1) Your just breadcrumbs away from a meatloaf.

2) I can tell from your pics you over handled the ground meat. You basically almost want the thing falling apart. With all of that shite in it you're not even tasting the beef.

I've seen several posters stating the same, but what does it hurt to handle the meat "too much"?


It makes the meat "tougher" and it dries out quicker. Alton Brown had an entire Good Eats on this. The more you smash the beef the more fat you remove hence why your hands are covered in white gunky shite. You want fat in the meat. You want to see strands or bits of beef when you make your patties. It shouldn't look like one solid hunk of meat like the ones in the Op. Just try it. It will be the tastiest and juiciest burger you've ever eaten that doesn't require anything added to the meat.
