Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

What is it about restaurant hamburgers that makes them so perfect? As it turns out, you can create restaurant-style burgers at home just by using a few simple tricks of the trade. Take a look at these tips for grilling perfect burgers.


1. Don’t Start With Ground Beef

Grind your own beef for ultra-juicy burgers tailored to your preferred ratio of lean meat to fat. Don’t feel like grinding your own meat? The meat department at your local supermarket will grind it for you.

2. Don’t Overhandle the Meat

While it feels good to slam that patty back and forth between your palms, the less you handle the meat, the better your burger will be.
