How Can You Make Perfect Hamburger at Home?
One of the foods that we like to prepare at home the most is hamburgers because they are eaten a lot in restaurants in Bangladesh but it the preparation is simple. They are prepared in a short time and they are also much richer than the ones we buy in burgers. For this reason and to make them perfect, today we want to show you how to make homemade hamburgers, with the fundamental tricks so that the next ones you make are a success.
In addition, the technique and the tips that we are going to teach you are valid for all types of hamburgers, whether they are beef or mutton, or if you make them with other ingredients such as chicken, or fish hamburgers.
Common Elements to Every Hamburger
The Bun
Whether you make them yourself with a good recipe for tender buns or if you buy them, buns are essential in the preparation of hamburgers since they have to have a double condition. On the one hand, be tender enough so that it does not cost us to eat them and on the other, have enough consistency to hold the content without breaking or falling apart.
To make a good hamburger, the buns must be toasted, lightly buttered, which will give a special flavor to our homemade burger and will also make the crunchiness of the toast help the resistance of the bread. In my opinion, you should not spread the bottom bread with any sauce and on the top one, you can put mayonnaise, or a mixture of mayonnaise with other ingredients to customize the flavor.
Vegetable Supplements
Before I talk about the filling, let me talk about all the toppings to a burger. The main thing is the salad part and here practically everything goes. Burgers gain a lot with a fresh touch that you can add with lettuce, lamb’s lettuce, or any green leaf and some tomato slices. In any case, the variety is fun, so do not hesitate to experiment with different green leaves that will add different flavors to your recipe.
Our advice is that you put the lettuce underneath, cover it with tomato and on this, you put the meat or patty. So, then you can add the ketchup or mustard sauces to your taste, without softening the bread. The lettuce also protects the bread from the natural humidity of the tomato.
The Hamburger
For me, the best burger is the one made only with meat, if you want, dressed with some herb or spice, but with nothing else. It is not a Russian steak or a meatball so, in my opinion, you do not have to add eggs, milk, breadcrumbs, or sliced bread, but you can do this to your liking.
My recommendation is to mix veal with very chopped bacon pieces that will add more flavor to the meat and also a little fat that will make the mixture juicier. Once mixed and seasoned, we form a ball without touching too much, flatten it a little, and let it rest at room temperature before going through the grill.
In the center of the hamburger, wrapped in meat, you can put some extra ingredients, such as a cheese slice as in this burger stuffed with cheddar so that when it is cooked then it comes out melted as a surprise for the diner.
Toppings of the Burger
On the hamburger, once cooked and turning it over, we can put a slice of cheddar, Havarti, or cream cheese, letting the heat of the grill and that of the meat itself melt it. We can also add grilled onion, confit onion, or any other topping that we like.
Making burgers is a very common and very easy recipe but making it home is really elegant. With this tip, you can make a perfect burger at home. Though preparing all these materials are hectic, you will be able to make a burger successfully.
