User: What are the top 5 best ways to prepare a burger?
Assistant: 1) Traditional methods would start with using a normal grill for 2-3 minutes per side, ensuring the burger is full cooked.
2) For the real burger enthusiast, the only way to prepare a burger is the smash burger style typically completed on a flat top griddle.  This technique produces a unique sear on the outer part of the burger adding to taste and texture.
3) Some people might also like to prepare a burger on a kitchen stove top or George Foreman grill.  Not advised but works in a pinch.
4) For those camping, burgers can be prepared on a cast iron skillet over wood fire.
5) Lastly, one could use a microwave in a pinch but this type of heating mechanism is not idea for preparing any type of meat.
