If your burger turns out dry, check the following three areas that are the usual suspects. First, be sure you are using 80 / 20 ground beef. It has the perfect amount of fat for a juicy burger, without letting it shrink too much. Up next, check that the kosher salt didn’t hit the burger until right before going on the grill. Salting too early draws out moisture from the meat, resulting in a dry burger. Lastly, be sure you don’t overcook the hamburger. Juicy burgers should have just a hint of pink on the inside.
