Griddle

We aren’t saying that you should give up your backyard barbecues once and for all. However, this is a great method to try if you haven’t already tried it by now. Cook your burgers on a flat top griddle. Doing so will allow you to smash them once before you flip them. This will help infuse the patties with even more flavor and give them a crispier and more caramelized crust.

Panade

If you want your burgers to be as tender and moist as possible, ditch the breadcrumbs. Instead, make a panade. It’s made from a combination of starch and liquid. In this case, it’s bread cubes and milk which are mashed together into a thick paste. We know it sounds somewhat odd, but believe us when we say it’s worth it. The mixture will help bind the meat and absorb the juices better, resulting in moist and tender burgers.

Brown Butter

Brown butter is such an easy thing to make and it adds so much to a dish! For burgers, brown butter adds a wonderfully nutty dimension that will become your favorite thing in the world. After making brown butter, quickly cool it and allow it to solidify before cutting it into little chunks. Then, put them into the ground beef. Aside from adding a delicious flavor, the butter will up the fat content in the patties, making them even juicier.
