Aye, I only do 6 oz cause I’m pretty good at telling that weight by eye.

Smashed thin with cheese in the middle is the best burger imo

this - it's why I always try to make my own -15% Fat mince, some chopped up Smoked Back Bacon Fat, Salt, Pepper, and a squirt of Mustard.

any tips for sealing around the edges - Mine have a tendency to split. doesn't impact the cook but you do lose some of the cheese. I try to rough up the edges a little on the top and bottom patty piece but it doesn't always work

Why do you put cheese inside the burger?

Because I can???

I also put cheese in the top... I like cheese

just make 2 patties and stick it between. Can't see why it needs to be sealed in. I prefer "mature slices" for the true filthy taste, and I just put them on the patty when I flip it. Cover with a lid and it'll drape itself nicely over the patty

Yep. I like my burgers simple. Zero interest in these towering things you see at a lot of places, with 10 types of meat on etc.

Just give a few different things a try, such as cooking indirectly first then finishing on direct heat or turning the edges over the coal.

I like cheese too - that's why I put it on the burger. I don't understand putting cheese inside the patty; it won't behave like the cheese on top. Like with a stuffed crust pizza, by adding shit inside it you're just detracting from the things that made it great in the first place

I quite like a burger with cheese in the middle. It needs to be the right cheese though, something quite processed and American works well.

Used to love a chippy cheese n burger when I was out on the lash

IF you get it right Jobbo, you bite into your burger and lovely oozy melted cheese spills out.

Give it a try - Zed's right though - needs to be well processed cheese. If you use the good stuff, it basically melts way - makes for a juicy burger but you don't get the correct ooze...

I'm not even going to try it - I want my burger to be meaty, not made of oozing cheese

Try it once, surely?

(I’ve never tried it, but I will give it a go)

No - I might deep fry some cheese and add it to a normal patty like this, but I've got no interest in fucking up a burger.

Fair enough...

Jobbo is a man who knows what he wants. A can of Fosters and a burger with cheese on TOP.

Not underneath, and not in the middle!

Bang on. None of that foreign muck neither.

Fuck me, burger pedantry

Cook four flattened burgers.

Two large baps. Under the oven for a bit, open 'em, add butter and cheese to tops and bottoms. Grill for a bit.

Once cheese is melting, add ketchup to taste (or not) and add a burger to each base, add another slice of cheese, grill a little longer.

Once cheese starts melting, retrieve from grill, add the other burger, add condiments, then wait a few minutes to let it all oooooze around before ramming it down your fucking throat.
