How big should I make my patties ck? I've been doing 7"diameter about 5/8" thick on the grill. They're good but medium rare in 3m each side and the size of sliders. How big should I make my next batch?
*medium well, meant they're overdone by my taste, wanting medium rare
>>22070057Those look fine, post burgers after they are assembled
this nigga measures his burgers
>>22070057the correct size is however much a handful of meat is for yourself.you just grab a handful, make the ball, squish it flat with your palms, print the thumb, cook.
>>22070075kek
>>22070057Borgur
>>22070057>/diy/ anon cooks some burgers
Optimal size should match bun and tomato. Thickness should be maximum 3/4".
>>22070057Get a pack of professionally made burgers to use as templates for your diy attempts.
>>22070451Ill eat my steak blue sometimes but isn't ground beef that rare a bad idea?
>>22070454thats not the problem
>>22070454Yes. It is. After grinding, the muscle fibers become much less densley packed and now have pockets of air and water for bad stuff to thrive in. It is actually really interesting how it all works with how dense chicken vs steak muscle fibers are and how that interacts with stuff like salmonella. Fun read next time you have time.
>>22070503Chicken is a problem because the feathers leave pores deeper into the muscle tissue.
>>22070521Correct! and the muscle tissue is less dense, which explains thick breasts not being able to be eaten raw.
>>22070057Make em de size of da bun
>>22070536Na cause potential shrinkage, and ain’t nothing gayer than a burger that’s too small for a bun. Gotta make em a bit bigger than the bun to accommodate
>>22070057Check out the size of whatever buns you're going to use and match the burgers up to that. 80/20's gonna shrink quite a bit. Make them at least 3/4' bigger than the bun.
half pound or you're poor
>>22070057whatever is proportional to the bun you're using... taller bun = thicker patty
>>22070538Then make them big enough so they shrink to the size if the bun
>>22070140>tomatojust fucking up food with uncooked tomatoes, huh?you're a menace.
