how long to cook hamburger
Keep an eye on the burgers while they are finishing up cooking. The amount of time it will take to cook your hamburgers on a stove depends on how large you made the patties. 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick patties take about eight to twelve minutes to cook on average. One way to check on how far along your burgers are is to take the pointy end of a knife and cut a small slit, prodding the meat back to see the color of the inside.
