Here are a few tips to make a better burger.
Keep your grill clean
When was the last time that you cleaned the grill? A clean grill helps to cook food better. Would you put food in a dirty pan on the stove? Don’t put food on a dirty grill. A good grill brush is essential. Heat up the grill and scrub it with the brush before putting food on it. It only takes a minute and you will taste the difference.
Don’t keep flipping
Do you know how to slow down food cooking on a grill? The simple answer is to keep flipping it. According to the Pints Templar Grilling Tips, turning food too often slows down the cooking. Only flip a hamburger once during the cooking process. Otherwise, the hamburger can become dry and tough.

Please don’t squish
Why take a spatula and squish a hamburger? When you squish a hamburger down, all the delicious juices to the bottom of the grill. Let the hamburger cook and leave it alone after flipping it once. Leave all the flavor in the hamburger.
Gooey cheese is the best
Who wants un-melted cheese on a hamburger? To get cheese to the gooey consistency, place a metal bowl over the burger for a minute right before it is done cooking. The steam created under the bowl will help to melt the cheese. The hamburger will have melted cheese on every bite.
A bite with texture
Like any good dish, a better hamburger benefits from different textures. Adding a crunchy topping can make your hamburger the best ever. Balance the cheese or avocado with some pickles or even potatoes. Taste the crunchy difference.
