Phil's Tips
Remember the secrets of a good burger are:-
- Use minced or ground as the American call it chuck steak, 8mm mincing plate, then mince again on a 5mm plate
- Use meat that has a minimum of between 15% - 20% fat content.
- Mince the meat twice, the mix together well, they will bind easier and the burger will hold its fat and moisture better.
