Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium to medium-high heat (400-450 degrees.) Some grills burn extra hot so adjust accordingly. Place seasoned griddle over the top of the grill grates. Gently divide the beef into 8 equal clumps, do not over-handle. See notes above.When griddle is hot, spray with cooking spray and place a clump of beef on the griddle, pressing down slightly with hands.
- Season with salt and burger seasonings to taste. Just a sprinkle of salt and about 1/4 teaspoon seasoning will do. Spray the burger press with cooking spray and press down on the beef making it flat. Keep the press on for about 30-seconds to 1 minute.
- Spray the burger press with cooking spray and press down on the beef making it flat. Keep the press on for about 30-seconds to 1 minute.
- Remove the press and flip the burger. Season the cooked side with a little salt and seasoning and then press down with the press again for another minute or until you reach your desired doneness.
- Add a slice of cheese (optional) and remove burger from grill. Place burger on a plate and cover with foil for 3-5 minutes. If you added cheese, make sure the foil doesn't touch the cheese. It will stick.
- Serve with hamburger buns and your favorite burger toppings and condiments.
