How do I stop my burger patties from shrinking when I cook them? I tried the dimple trick, should I try the ice cube trick?
>>22100200>ice cube trick?yes, but a better method is put several ice cubes into a tub of boiling oil, then apply that to the patties
vinegar
>>22100200you dont, they shrink because fat renders outform your patties nice and thin and a bit wider than the bun so that they cook to be the same size as the bun
>>22100200the ice cube trick is just retarded folk science to keep the patty juicy, when in reality that's entirely a function of how high the fat content is
>>22100200use leaner beef
Make your patties a bit bigger so they shrink to the size you want. You’re welcome!
>>22100200I remember youPost your patties raw and cooked using the dimple trick
Don't cook them for longer than 30 seconds on each side on a hot pan. You're taking a delicious soft and juicy burger and making it hard, chewy, tasteless and dry if you cook it any longer.
>>22100200Mix powdered gelatin in them so it absorbs the lost moisture.
>>22100200After you form the patties you leave them uncovered in the fridge.This does two things;-When you put the patties on the heat the core holds up a little longer so the outside becomes a crust in the shape it was before the core collapses and tightens when it starts to lose its water and fat-It dries the patty a little, the outside crusts better on the heat since there's less water to steam away first
>>22100200Have you tried praying to God?
>>22100200dont listen to these other anons. the trick to making your burgers not shrink is to mix in 2, yes 2, sticks of butters into each patty. the butter will trick the heat and it will render all of the butter out before any of the fat from the meat gets rendered out and will keep your burger nice, thick, and juicy.
>>22100906This is troll bullshit. If only takes 1 stick per patty and he knows it. He's just trying to get you to waste money on extra butter. Go with 1 stick per patty and you'll be fine.
>>22100906>>22100907I want to say this is an elaborate double troll, but I also know "butter burgers" are a thing...
>>22101125they're both full of shit, using patties at all is a complete waste. just grind butter up and cook that
>Skip the grocery store and buy actual fresh and unfrozen meat.>Make burger patties bigger in diameter than burger bun.>Fry burger patties to the size of a burger bun.>?>Profit.Simple as.
>>22100208That sounds like a fantastic way to end up looking like Two-face.
Make a big thin pancake/tortilla-like patty so.it shrinks into normal size. Works for me...
>>22100200>he doesn't know the one simple trick>chefs don't even hate him
Everyone is giving recommendations on pan frying burgers in July? Not one person has mentioned a grill?Anyway, the trick is to leave the gas off.
>>22100200The dimple stops the center from expanding so you don't end up with a bloated looking burger patty, it does not prevent shrinkage, which is going to happen as the fat renders out. Nothing will stop it.
>>22100200get better quality meat
>>22100200make them triangular shaped and flatter, its my trick for saving 100 calories with medium sized wraps rather than big buns
>>22105749This
>>22100200Show it burger porn to make it big and firm.
>>22104416>the trick is to leave the gas offNo, I don't think I will.
>>22100237are you retarded?
did the jannies nuke all the frog OPs?
>>22107529Yes, that hate symbol is only allowed on a couple boards.
it;s not a hate symbol tho
