Notes

Adjust Cooking Time for Perfect Patties

Cooking time may vary to reach your desired level of doneness depending on the size of your patties. Keep in mind, they'll shrink about 20% when cooked.

For example:

When broiling 1/4-pound burgers, cook for 4 minutes on each side plus 1 more minute to melt the cheese on top.
If pan-frying 7-ounce burgers, heat a little oil in a cast iron skillet, flip the burgers every 2 minutes for 12 minutes, then add 1 more minute with the pan covered to melt the cheese.
Grilling follows a similar method for mouthwatering results.

Enhance the Flavor of Grilled Gluten Free Buns

Grill your gluten-free buns to elevate their flavor. Simply slather the cut side of each bun with about 2 tablespoons of butter, then place them cut side down on your grill or in a griddle pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Allow them to toast, pressing down on them with a spatula so that they absorb the butter until golden. It's a small step that makes a big difference in taste!

Managing leftovers

Cooked hamburgers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Simply reheat them in the oven or on the stovetop for a quick and satisfying meal whenever hunger strikes.
