The Best Way to cook burgers on a presto
Hey there! Want to make some awesome burgers on your Presto griddle? Here's the easiest way to do it:
- Heat your Presto griddle to 375°F (that's about the medium-high setting)
- While it's heating up, form your burger patties - make them about ¼ inch thick and put a small dimple in the middle with your thumb
- When the griddle is hot, spray it lightly with cooking spray
- Put your burgers on the griddle
- Cook for about 4 minutes (for medium burgers)
- Flip them over just ONCE (don't keep flipping!)
- Cook another 3-4 minutes on the other side
- If you want cheese, add it in the last minute of cooking
Pro Tips:
- Don't press down on the burgers with your spatula - this makes them dry!
- For food safety, make sure the internal temperature hits 160°F
- Let them rest for 2-3 minutes before eating
