I'll bring the chairs

jules, did you ever try steaming the cheese by covering the burger in the frying pan with a metal bowl? i mentioned it ages ago after reading about it. it's the only way for me now... such juice, burger dripping, much flavours.

I have seen that done at diners and such. killer idea. I don't have proper ventilation in my kitchen so I avoid some things unfortunately.

You can do that on the grill as well - I keep a stainless steel bowl handy for just that (I also use grill presses for burgers - I find it keeps their shape more uniform and cooks evenly (and puts nice grill marks on the top at the same time).

You can also buy a pan specifically for that purpose that has a handle on it.

covering the top vent on my grill melts the shit out of the cheese. i can sometimes get a little char on the cheese which is even better. i have put a flat cast iron griddle on the grill top before. i got it screaming hot and then cooked burgers on it, they seared almost instantly and had a nice crust on the outside. that was awesome. i may have to do that again soon now that i am thinking about it.

i do want to look into a burger press this summer, my hand formed patties are usually very inconsistent, and sometimes a little too brittle.

i just like to put some ripe brie or camembert on my burger and let nature take its course, tbqh

hell yeah. Some double cream brie and truffle oil, with some crispy red onions and smoked black pepper? Ciabatta bun with garlic aioli.. Touch of red alder smoked salt. My favorite recipe

this thread gives me raging hunger.

rocket, salad of the devil.

Didn't know rocket/arugula/rucola/whatever was so controversial, apart from having a universally dumb sounding name. Kale does unspeakably grotesque things to my insides and yet everyone speaks of kale like it is the christplant risen. I'll stick to my slightly pungent pal Eruca sativa, IMO.

lol not that exact recipe, but sounds good!

The truffle oil combined with the garlic aioli might be a bit to much richness for me to handle at once, tbbqh.

The aioli and truffle oil is good if you use a leaner blend of meat, such as bison. =)

I paid $22 ish something for a burger recently and I'll be honest it was pretty tasty. But I think ~$22 is as high as I'm willing to go for top burger at this point in my life !!

had a little Burger-Meeting with my Brother-in-law today. In remembrance of your post (and in lack of more cheddar) we had two burgers with melted camembert and topped it with Lingonberry Jam. Real tasty, that was!

(Sorry, no Pictures)

how are you guys ok with eating meat that is not fully cooked? i recall this one time i went to fat burgers and ordered a burger, my third bite in i saw some pink raw meat and had them fully cook that mess all the way.

generally I'm a burgers well done and cooked all the way through man, but this one came pretty rare and I was in a hurry so just ate it anyway. I must add that I'm posting this from the toilet.
