Fattiest meat you can handle. I love 70/30.

Handle the meat as little as possible. Don't dick around mushing it. Just lightly as you can form the patties.

Thumb in the middle to create a dent so you don't end up with dome burgers.

Salt and pepper only after the patties are formed.

I do them in cast iron. Super hot so I get an immediate sear and don't have to leave them long for a nice med-rare or medium.. Whatever you prefer.

Quality brioche bun. Not a package of falling apart junk.

Dress as you like. I like a slice of sharp cheddar on the hot patty but there are so many good cheeses.

Disagreed. They are different deals to me and both equally enjoyable depending on what I'm in the mood for.

I guess you shouldn't be mushing around for either one

Depends on my mood. I like to get the Weber up to about 600° and go 2 minutes then flip, another 2 minutes, add cheese and take it off when it's melted. Also, I don't like the patty to be 11" thick. Just a nice thin patty a little crispy around the edges and pink in the middle.

A great hamburger needs only ground chuck and a little salt.

It's best fried in an iron skillet using melted butter.

I don't cook burgers that often. If it was grade A beef then I wouldn't dare. However doesn't this help hold the meat together tremendously?

For real, I've never heard of anyone's pre-cooked burger patty falling apart because it lacked a binder.

Olive oil on the outside does the same and helps lock in the juices.

I'm an 85/15 Ground Round guy with Kosher Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper only on the outside. Grill over coals on high heat for 4 minutes a side flipping once.

You remember that poster asking if we would eat this burger he posted a pic of. It was extremely rare for my tastes. Under the pic he said

"Found out it was cooked by sous vide"

what does that mean?
