This is really boring and sad, but I made my first burger from scratch last week rather than buying one from the supermarket or butchers. Really embarrassing to admit,  but I'd never bothered before.

I found this site and it got me a bit obsessed:

I'm a pedant when it comes to home made burgers.

My recipe.

Skirt of beef, very finely chopped.  Shaped into burger shape.  No additions.

Fast fried until done to your degree of rawness.

Salt and pepper added post-fry to taste.

Pure heaven.

Giles - I'm going to try that! I'm actually going to buy a grinder at the weekend so I can grind my own beef. I nearly typed 'meat', rather than 'beef' but remembered where I was an thought it was too easy a joke…

Before I read all over that site, I didn't even know adding in salt before cooking (especially in, rather than on the burger), is really bad for the end result.

[Giles]

You will find the result better if you finely chop with a knife…..

[michaeljcr]

Interesting! I'll try that before I buy a grinder.

[Giles]

A grinder is useful and I use one to grind beef/lamb for cottage/shepherds pie & lasagne etc, but for something like a burger you want decent surface area to the bits of meat.  A grinder tends to "modge" the meat together…...

Modge being part of the Padmore vocab.......

Everything/body exudes class but what on earth is that red plastic basket doing there?
