How Long Should You Cook Hamburgers In A Frying Pan?
The cooking time for hamburgers in a frying pan depends on the thickness of the patty and the desired level of doneness. Generally, for a 1/2 inch thick patty cooked on medium-high heat, it takes about 4-5 minutes per side for a medium-rare burger, 5-6 minutes per side for a medium burger, and 6-7 minutes per side for a well-done burger. It’s important to use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the burger reaches 160°F for safe consumption.
