Halloween? Nope!
Thanksgiving? Yeah right!
Christmas? Not even close!
The best holiday of them all is National Cheeseburger Day! And it is today!!!
@ForkReporter has been telling us some of these burger making tips for years, but today, this list from Pensacola News Journal is more important than ever.
- Build To The Bun - Before you make your patty, check out the size of your bun, and build it to fit it. Make the patty a little bit bigger than your bun. Then, when it shrinks, it'll be perfect.
- Dig A Dimple - When you press out your patty, make sure to leave a dimple in the middle. Burgers like to swell up in the middle as they cook, so this helps stop that.
- Don't Push It - When cooking your burger, do not press it down with your spatula. This just squeezes the juices out, which is bad.
- Test The Temp - Don't be afraid of a thermometer. They're the fool-proof way to make sure your burgers are cooked properly.
- Toasted Twist - Try toasting the bun. It can add textures and flavors.
- Cross The Queso - If you want to make sure that every bite has cheese, crisscross the cheese.
