How Long Do You Cook A Burger Per Side?
The cooking time for a burger depends on the thickness of the patty and the desired level of doneness. In general, a 1/2 inch thick patty should be cooked for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, 5-6 minutes per side for medium, and 8-9 minutes per side for well-done. It is important to use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F before serving.
