Free food & cooking tip: Build from the bottom bun up (step 10 of 11 from "The Ultimate Burger Masterclass").
Bottom bun, sauce, pickles, patty with cheese, onions, more sauce on the top bun, close, press gently for two seconds. That is the whole architecture. Lettuce and tomato are optional — blot tomato or it will steam the bun into mush.
Eat within five minutes. If you must hold them, wrap in parchment, not a sealed box.
Pro tip: Making doubles? Two thin smashed patties with cheese on each. Never one giant ball.
