To make the perfect hamburger from home, you'll need the best burger pressing tool. Then, form a ball of ground beef in the palm of your hand, add seasoning, herbs, and spices before pressing it down using the press. You can also add other flavors like cheese, jalapenos, onions, or garlic to the meat at this point. Once the meat is in the press, use the top to apply even pressure to the meat. This will ensure the patty is flat and will cook at the same rate throughout. When it comes to cooking your burgers, if you want a medium-rare burger, then cook your patties until they develop some color on both sides. Depending on thickness, this should be around 6 to 7 minutes total. For a well-done burger, stop cooking once the outside is crispy - this should be 9 to 10 minutes total. But, be careful not to overcook it since this will dry out your burger and make it tough.
