For many Americans, summer means afternoons spent tending burgers on the grill. Mark Bucher, founder of BGR The Burger Joint, and Tim Carman, Washington Post food critic, along with WAMU 88.5 producer Michael Martinez, demonstrate how to prepare the ideal hamburger patty. Get tips like how big to make your patty, what ingredients to use (hint: sometimes all you need is salt and pepper), why your thumbprint plays an important role and how to tell the difference between medium well and medium rare.

What I like to do is roll a good amount of meat into a 7 or 8 inch log,
season it with salt and pepper, and then carefully insert it into my anus.
bon appetit!
what about egg and breadcrumbs?
and mixing it all together ect
you just throw a lump of mince on the grill?
I loved this video, except for the “manly” shit. What the hell is “manly”?
I am a friggin woman and I sure do love beer… and flames >:)
Fuck that. Just grill that mother fucker.slap some lettuce tomatoes onions
and eat the bitch.
I press it in da centre wit my manhood , much more sensitive
He seems like a nice dude but also a bit of a condescending asshole too, he
doesn’t like it when Gary Oldman finished his points, like no-one else
knows what resting does.He comes across aggressive somehow!
I know I left a comment awhile ago but this recipe mixed with “You’re Doing
It All Wrong – How to Make a Burger” recipe, and they literally fall hand
in hand, even tho they arent related. but you watch this vid plus the one
in quotes and I garuntee you will have the best burgers you and anyone you
know have ever had. gl and wp.
fucking worst video I have ever seen….first of all, if you wanna make a
perfect burger, you do not buy minced beef from a fucking supermarket, you
mince it yourself from a good piece of beef you saw before. Sencod of all,
omg powder pepper? Good meals need fresh ingredients – nothing but freshly
ground pepper is acceptable. All what is up with that all manly shit? :-D
beer ….flames rofl.
all this was missing was glitter and unicorns
The guy in the white shirt likes to get drunk b 4 he makes his burgers.
Thats why hes acting like an ass…
Interesting tips. Thank you! I’m trying to figure out how to make something
good for my husband out of ground beef tonight, which I don’t cook often
myself being a vegetarian. I’m afraid of over cooking the burger though if
I don’t flip it, I don’t want the underside to get too dark or even black.
Practice makes perfect though. The thumb in the middle, over seasoning,
letting the patty sit separate from the bun for a few minutes, as well as
the percentage of fat needed to make a good burger are very wonderful to
know. Once again thank you!
Good grief what a bland an unappealing burger! Stop it!!!!!!!!!!
I disagree with everything you said. I hate thick patties, impossible to
chew or fit in your mouth with a bun and toppings. I hate juicy patties,
when i bite down into a burger the last thing i want is an explosion of
melted fat burning the inside of my mouth. When i grill a burger, i squeeze
the hell out of it. Over seasoning is just plain wrong. Salt wrecks havoc
on your thyroid gland and blood pressure and it ruins the taste! It sucks
when a burger tastes like salty balls. A touch of salt is all you need.
Everyone knows to use freshly ground pepper, none of that pre-ground pepper
powder. So yeah, nice try but wrong. Just plain wrong.
Thanks for the tips. I’m going to make my first burger this weekend. Even
when you buy them they have horrendous amounts of additives. It’s really
hard just to find a plain burger, so I’ve got the 20% Beef mince and hope
to get cooking soon.
Thank Baby Jeebus for gay guys. Always comin’ through with the reasonable
approach without the “macho” nonsense. Looks like a good method.
$15!!! Holy moly! Or am I just cheap?
Putting it in the fridge before cooking…
Jesus I cant even take you serious
What the fuck is wrong with that guy in the middle. Christ.
no end result. for all i know that turned to mince .. bad..bad on
you…..just bad
Lmao! Three-non-manly-guys discussing a burger patti. They are so funny,
without meaning to. :-)
Mark Bucher you sir are a god among men. youre telling me that the best
burger ever, is the burger that ive been making for the last 10 years. for
this video I commend you.
Is that Gary Oldman?
I just want to take a spatula and wack the middle guy in the head
