Tips for Grilling Hamburgers

A few tips for the best burgers.

• Make certain hamburger is thoroughly defrosted before grilling (I actually use ready made burgers at the frozen section at the store and toss them on frozen - on a low heat to begin so that the burger defrosts as it cooks)
• Pre season with pepper - seems to bring out the juices and flavor
• Never take your spatula and press down on the burgers while grilling - you lose juices this way
• You will see the juices flowing from the burgers while you grill. Once the juices are a clear color, your burger is probably done. Use a thermometer at first to get a feel for this
• If you are going to use a barbecue sauce, wait to apply until the burger is almost ready.
