Free food & cooking tip: Shop once, cook once (step 2 of 11 from "The Ultimate Burger Masterclass").
Buy chuck labeled 80/20. If the pack looks watery and grey, pick another. Buns should be soft — a crusty bakery roll will fight you. American cheese is the right cheese here because it melts into a blanket instead of a greasy puddle.
Keep the meat in the fridge until the pan is hot. Warm mince smears. Cold mince crusts.
You'll need
- Meat stays cold
- Buns are soft, not crusty
- Cheese is sliced and ready
