How Do You Shape The Perfect Hamburger Patty?
To shape the perfect hamburger patty, start by selecting high-quality ground beef with a fat content of 80% to 85%. Divide the beef into equal sized portions and roll each portion into a ball. Gently flatten the ball into a patty that is slightly larger in diameter than the bun. Make a slight indentation in the center of the patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking. Season the patty generously with salt and pepper before grilling or cooking on a skillet.
