Ultimate Burger Guide
Whether you use a charcoal grill or a gas grill from doesn’t matter. What does matter is taking time to cook food properly. In order to do that, here are a few grilling tips to keep in mind:
- Choose your grill. If you’re looking for convenience, consider one of Globo Surf‘s 10 best portable grills. Portable bbq grills can change a good camping trip into a memorable one, and if you’re a sports fan, you know a good grill for tailgating is a must. A portable grill will make you the true MVP.
- Be sure you’re grilling on a clean surface. The best way to clean the metal grate is to use a wire brush and to brush when the grill is nice and hot.
- When you’re cooking high fatty foods, such as hamburgers and sausages, make sure to keep the flames low to prevent flare ups from the oil dripping into the flames.
- When cooking burgers, try to turn and flip burgers as little as possible. NEVER press down on burgers while on grill. This causes flare ups and releases all the grease or flavor.
- Hamburgers should be seared over high heat for 2 minutes on each side, and then add 2 to 3 minutes for every level of doneness (so add about 4 minutes for medium and 6 minutes for well done).
- Allow the meat to rest! Once the meat is cooked to desired temperature, allow it to rest for approx 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to absorb back into the meat.
