How do you cook your hamburgers?

As for me, I love to cook my burgers in the George Foreman counter top grill machine. It drains all the unhealthy fats away and leaves a perfect burger. I would cook my burgers in the oven, but it heats up the house and then I have to turn on the air conditioner to cool things down. That's a real waste of money. Do you use the grill outdoors? Do you cook the hamburger on top of the stove? Oven?

I cook mine on top of the stove in a frying pan I haven't used an outside grill in probably thirty years.

I've never cooked burgers on the stove top before. Do they turn out good? Might have to try that.

They turn out okay. Like any other fried food they might be a little too greasy for some tastes though. But, I like them

I always let my hubby cook the burgers out on the grill. He likes to do it and it is something I dont want to do. It is usualy my job to do the cooking and if I can get him to do it then I can take the night off.

We usually cook ours on the grill. In the winter, I sometimes cook them on the stovetop, but we don't have hamburgers too often in the winter.

Mine are always cooked on the grill. But it is in the preparing them that I do something a bit different. First I marinate the meat in Dale's seasoning for at least an hour. Then I add Italian bread crumbs to the mixture of meat and one raw egg. I form my patties and then cook them on the grill till they are medium rare, for the children I cook them well done. They are to die for. Sometimes I will mix in bbq sauce as well. depends on my mood.

Oh no not that George Foreman grill. Those telsell companies aired it for months and it really made me crazy. Anyway how's the grill? Does it work well for you? I put my burgers in a frying pan until they get real crispy then I lay them on a kitchen towel to let the fat drain away. I eat them on a sandwich with some pickles, curry sauce and ketchup. Yummy.

We don't have a lot of fancy stuff in our kitchen, so we just cook our burgers on the stove, in the frying pan. If we had the option (or if we lived at my mother's place out in the country, or at my Dad's cottage up north) we'd probably cook our burgers in the back yard over an open fire.

I have a griddle plate and cook my hamburgers on there. You don't need any fat, and they can always be placed on a sheet of kitchen roll afterwards, or a cooling rack with a plate underneath to catch any fat coming from the burger. Brightest Blessings.

If I'm cooking them indoors, I cook them in a pan on the stove top. I would prefer to cook them in the griller but my grill & oven in this house are in the same compartment & not separarte like most.

We use the grill outside. It's easy and fast. If it's just a few hamburgers we might use the frying pan, but we usually make a lot of them so that we can each have one or two, and then if there's guests ofcourse!

I love my hamburgers fixed on an outside grill. And although I pefer charcoal I use a gas grill. I fix them all the time on my grill. If weather doesn't permit I can just simply roll it onto the porch and fix them there. Now you've gone and made m hungry!
