An undercooked burger put me in the hospital once for over a week. now it's a matter of choice to get them extra well done... sometimes crispy... the same way i cook em on the BBQ

I like them pink in the middle,although I am so used to burgers being well done commercially,I dont mind well done anymore.

Crave Case turned out to be the highlight...congratulations! You guys played the game I wish we could have.

These is nothing like a rare cheeseburger.

Thanx for the explanation

Cook for about 1-2 minutes,then flip them over and cook for another 1-2 minutes either on a grill or barbecue.

I like mine medium rare out. Rare at home.

That's how I like them.

I like mine cooked until the last bit of pink is gone, then NO MORE! PepperPhil and I are kindred spirits, and for the same reason. When I do it myself, it's on a grill, either charcoal or Foreman (I actually have a generic Foreman grill that makes those triangle sammys and waffles if you change the plates, and flip the lined plate over for a good griddle that I LOVE, even though I never make traingle sandwiches for anyone but Big Ugly Mich, because no one else likes 'em that way). I would rather do 'em broiled, but hate cleaning up the oven after broiling anything.

Hardee's.Medium Rare all the time.

My preferences for a burger??

Eating out: pink in the middle.

Eating at home: medium rare cooked in a cast-iron skillet. (I grind chuck myself at home).

Trusted place for “pink in the middle”: Red Robin

Condiments: Hellmann’s, slice of Velveeta, thick slice of red onion, and slice of ripe tomato (if available).

Bun: Poppy seed hard roll from my supermarket’s bakery.

Whats your preference Med.Rare, Med., Med.Well, or well?

Do you have a favorite place to go that you trust them to cook you up a med.rare burger?

How do you cook yours at home?

Personally I love a med.rare burger very juicy but I know my butcher shop and have him grind a sirloin steak for me.

I also find that cooking them quickly on a preheated George Foreman with a little season salt mixed in the patty makes for an awesome juicy patty .

A slice of cheddar on a toasted bun and a slice of onion - Mmmmmmm Burge Heaven!

Mother told me of her childhood in MX and grandma would make what was called "panocha" hamburgers:

ground beef (sometimes would add some ground pork too)
chopped onion, cilantro, jalapeño, an egg, a few tablespoons of flour
S&P to taste
mix it all together
grill it, almost well done, especially with the pork (back then)

serve on fresh bolillo (mexican round baguette)

fixings:
mayo, escabeche jalapeños, lettuce, tomatoe, onion, a dab of mustard.

sorry if it's not exactly on topic, but my mom made it a couple times and bingo!

I personally like charred using mesquite chips on the grill.

On the other hand, med-rare with cornichons, mayo, tomato, onion and a slice of thick cheese is great too.

And White-castle style sliders kick butt when needed. Seared rare.
