I’ve made my fair share of burgers and I can honestly say it doesn’t matter. Idk if I’ve ever had a burger that wasn’t tender either.

[@Chrismedina3322]

Exactly this video is bs

[@goldencleopatra]

Gordon Ramsey mixed it with ingredients lol

[@CorneliaPauline]

Same 🤷‍♀️🙈

[@xiindoix9845]

It actually does matter. she's absolutely right the burger gets noticeably tougher the more you mush it around

[@Brockthedog315]

I’ve been cooking burgers for 50 years on the grill, stovetop, whatnot. This is not true. You need to handle them at least enough that they will not fall apart when you try to cook them. Plus you need to season them. Not just on the outer layer. Don’t overthink. If you have 80/20 you won’t have a tough burger unless you cook way too long.

[@meganhale6164]

I've made quite a few burgers and it doesn't matter either way. It really makes no difference. The way it's mixed depends on whether you're adding other ingredients that need mixed in. I personally wouldn't want to eat that burger you've made. Ground beef shrinks when cooked, you've made dense hockey pucks that won't come close to filling the bun. To make a burger you take a little less than you have there, roughly form it, put it in the cast iron pan, griddle, whatever it is you're using then put a piece of wax paper on it, smash the every loving crap out of it so it's super thin. Let it cook, flip, add cheese immediately to cooked side.....When cheese is melted your burger should be done. Add 2 patties to your bun and serve yourself a tasty smash burger. Burgers aren't difficult.

[@jasminecarter1387]

Lollll

[@kennyking7598]

According to her I’ve been over mixing for years yet my burgers are still tender and juicy, well seasoned, well done. A lil chopped onions and green peppers in the mix go along way. Or quick substitution jutsu with the beefy onion soup mix or original 😊

[@whofookncares2149]

Remind me to never come over for your green pepper welfare burgers

[@rosab08]

I put all kinds of ingredients to the ground meats and then form them in a one cup Tupperware bowl. Perfect everytyme. 60% of the tyme it works everytyme.

[@teddyboy252]

But you have to add the spieces

[@vintagestrings6]

I will definitely try this thank you so much. Thanks for your video.

I put bread crumbs on the outside of the ground beef then mix it so it doesn’t fall apart

[@WavyxJagan]

Seasoning?

[@FishForFun.]

Correct no seasoning it will taste like shit

[@enzo_thehimbo]

most burgers are seasoned right before they go on the grill especially in restaurants they dont mix it into the beef

[@Countcho]

Beef doesnt “need” seasoning because its already yummy. Salt and pepper before frying

[@WavyxJagan]

@@Countcho crazy

[@JackRR15]

​@@CountchoI mean S and P is seasonning ha

[@cindyquintero5389]

Where is the seasoning?

JESSICA FOR PRESIDENT!

[@chiefqueef7332]

80/20 ground beef will also be pretty dry I prefer 70/30 for burgers

[@larondataylor1291]

Thank you So Very much ❤🎉

[@nadantagaming2276]

Thank or the tips!

[@matthewwhittington-jk9ep]

A good way to make this.

[@WiseAilbhean]

I mix it with 2 forks on a very cold sheet pan. Then I gently separate and form. And addt’l ingredients, i mix separately and add it in.

[@TheAfzalfamily]

Umm. How do you add seasonings then?

[@philipmaguire6007]

while cooking after the first flip lol

[@JackRR15]

I'll never understand people who deason their burger like a meatloaf VS seasonings both sides

[@Jaiwavbeatz]

You can season the raw ground beef, add minced onions, garlic/ peppers etc.. and mix and shape the ground beef before cooking… there are folks who barely season food which I can’t understand, but to them everything tastes good… I’m from Caribbean background so we season for real

[@leon3ev]

@@Jaiwavbeatz that’s a fact 👍🏾

[@godnyx117]

@@Jaiwavbeatz You can't understand what? That people have different taste and sensitivity like you? I'm very sensitive on salt and all the times that I over-salted it, I highly regretted it. Just because something doesn't seem right to you or it's not how you grow up to do, it doesn't mean that it is wrong or stupid.

[@meagankaletski760]

does this apply to ground chicken too?

[@jeffdiggs7030]

I see gordan Ramsey talk about that too but he adds an egg but do u have to put egg and what its for. Is it like a binder or does it act as a flavor or filler ingredient. UPDATE: I looked it up and they say if your meat has high fat content then u dont need to add and egg and with him he had 70/20/10, 70 chuck, 20 another type and only 10 fat.

[@hillhank3070]

The biggest one tip is not to add any seasoning until AFTER you've formed the patty.

[@cxrtezzy8852]

Is this rlly true?

[@hillhank3070]

@@cxrtezzy8852 yes

[@user-zf3mb2rh9n]

This works in most cooking cause it burns if the temp is too high. Temp and time is a lot more important then people make it seem in cooking. Start low and finish high has been an extraordinary experience for me when comparing meals I’ve made 100 times.

[@FishForFun.]

You know that it does nothing

[@Cimsy_games]

[@EnvisionStudios904]

This is what you do when you dont want your food to taste like anything. In Spanish cultures we mix our meat well with the seasonings making sure never to smash the meat. In indian cultures they do smash the mean. Moral of the story is all cultures have delicious versions and NOT RUBBERY. The tidbit about mixing the proteins together when beef is composed of mostly protein fibers is beyond blowing my mind right now.

[@RealSB83]

Add bread crumbs and egg yolk to prevent it from being tough. Hello! Don't for get the seasonings

[@rebeccasample1514]

That's how you make a meatball

[@Infiniti25]

Breadcrumbs ain’t for everyone, some people like their food to maintain some purity and flavour instead of added grain-based carb filler crap.

[@ALAN13T]

Yummy

[@GoBart454]

Thanks Jess, your tips are always so helpful ❤

[@JessicaGavin]

Thanks!

[@markbob6563]

The meat is most tender the least you handle it: true..true..👌🏻🤣💀

[@aishahzxful]

is it possible to use minced beef?

[@JessicaGavin]

It doesn't have the fat to help the burger patties stick together. You can mix in minced beef into the ground beef to make a mixture.

This is for people who don’t like to season their meat.

“how to form your burgers” is the title.

[@xiindoix9845]

You dont need to mix it together for it to be well seasoned and she's absolutely right the burger gets tough the more you mush it around. I've noticed it before watching this video

[@aaronhotchnerzoltfbi8085]

Oh

I looking at upper part of the double Patty..squeeze a little..

I love unflavored burgers

[@mirsadmemic5863]

It is tru, I sow other video 2 months ago, is really much better taste

[@alexhuerta6164]

Just made a couple burgers last night that were super juicy and extremely tender, and yet, I mixed that meat like hell. Myth busted

[@VeenterTerritory]

Dude I just mixed the hell out of my beef dude that mean it’s going to be loose?

[@Ryemaster287]

You forgot Bout adding a small crevasse in the center so that the meat doesent contract into a ball and cooks all the way

Hockey puck burgers. Smashed burgers all the way

Let me know how it turns out!

incorrect, theres many ways to make a burger but just about everything in in this is wrong. dimpling is the only thing that makes sense, assuming thats the burger your going for.

y does my hamburger patties break up?

You do realize that there is no such thing as “overhandling” your burger right?

talking aboout handling ground beef minimally. you realize its ground, right?

taste is taste

You add seasoning and cook it medium high until cooked through and you need fatty beef for burger otherwise your eating fake meat

How does less fatty beef classify the meat as fake
