so I’ve been experimenting with my meat grinder and making meathead’s steakhouse burgers. I’ve done 2 cooks in the last week and they’re delicious, but 2 of my 4 fell apart on the grill both times. It probably has to do with:
1. The way I’m forming the patties. I’m trying to be as gentle as I can to keep the air pockets inside, but what do you all do to make sure that you seal the outside enough without over handling? I thought I was good this time, but those little crevices turned into a fault line on the grill
2. Utensils. I’m starting 225 on my rec tec, flopping once, and then moving over to my gas grill at warp 11- about 750 degrees with the grill grates. I’m using a spatula for all of the flips, maybe tongs are the right move though
3. The grates - I noticed a bunch of burger crumbs in the gutters of the grates...I could flip the grates to griddle mode which may help a little, but by the time I’m at the sear stage I think the damage is done
what do yall think?
