Get to know everything from the basic steps to the ultimate chef tips of making diner-style burgers at home and please them all this holiday season.

Winter is almost here. You can already feel the cold breeze almost every morning and evening. The arrival of winter signifies one more thing – That is, of course, the holiday season. In fact, most people start to feel the joy and excitement of the holiday season with the arrival of winter. The holiday season means togetherness, warm and cozy family dinners, and a lot of good food.

To make the dinners a bit more special, you can make some diner-style burgers at home. It will surely please the crowd. Not only will it be an amazing way to make your family feel special, but it will also make them lick their fingers and forget about the store-bought ones.

If you wish to do something like this, but you are not great at cooking, or perhaps you haven’t done it before, this article is just for you. This article describes an easy process of making diner-style burgers at home. Continue reading to know the ABCs of making burgers at home.

Buns

Most people underestimate the burger bun. They consider it to be the least important. However, the bun can’t be ignored or be compromised if you are looking for diner-style burgers. They play a huge role in the overall taste and texture of the burger. If the bun is wrong, no matter how hard you try, you might fail to get it perfect. So it’s better to pay equal attention to all the elements than focusing just on the patty and ending up with an average burger.

Ideally, burgers taste best when they are made with soft and squishy buns. However, you don’t want them to get soggy or mushy after some time. Another thing to keep in mind is that it is best if the bun has a mild flavor. Otherwise, it might overpower the burger. On the other hand, if you use straight up plain flavorless buns, it might make the burger feel bland. The best options for burger buns are brioche buns, potato buns, and pub-style buns. You can’t go wrong with these.

Another thing a lot of people fuss about is sesame seed on the bun.  It doesn’t make that much of a difference actually. You can get buns with or without sesame seeds according to your taste.

Now that you have got the right bun. Make sure to toast them. Toasting the buns makes a big difference. This simple step can really elevate your burger. It brings a slight crunch on the outside, but the insides remain soft. Toasting them with butter is obviously the best bet. Butter just makes everything better.

Patty

Now comes the exciting part. This is the center of attraction for a lot of people. The patty is generally made with beef because it is a lot more flavorful on its own than most other options. The fat present in beef makes it even better. It makes the patty very juicy and naturally flavorful.

As for cooking the patty, this is the step that makes homemade burgers different from restaurant ones. The patty is grilled in the restaurants. This process gives it the signature texture which is slightly crusty on the outside and juicy inside. You can make ones exactly the same by using a gas grill like weber spirit ii e-210. To know more you can read weber spirit ii e-210 reviews online.

To make the patty at home, try to use meat that has more fat. Twenty percent fat will give you the best results. It will give you the juiciest patties if cooked right. Don’t make the mistake of putting too much seasoning. It ruins the fresh flavors. Stick to salt and pepper; this classic combo will make sure you don’t go wrong. Honestly, they are enough for an amazing beef patty. You don’t need anything more.

An easy way to get even patties is to use an ice cream scoop. Scoop it out first, and then you can roll it. Add some butter to the skillet and melt it on medium heat. Add the meat and smash it with a spatula to make it flat. Make sure not to cook it on high heat. High heat can dry out the patty. Cooking on low heat will take more time, but it is worth the wait. Many people have the bad habit of pressing or smashing the patty, again and again, to cook it faster. In reality, it makes no difference to the cooking time. However, it forces all the delicious juices out of your patty, which again results in a dry flavorless patty. So, make sure to smash it no more than once.

Onions and cheese

Caramelized onions and melting cheese are staples in American-style burgers. Honestly, it is very hard to go wrong with this step. It is a very simple step that brings an extra punch of flavor. To make the caramelized onions, melt some butter in a skillet, coarsely chop some onions, and add them to the pan. Season with some salt and pepper and cook it until brown. If you are a true burger lover, you’ll be able to tell when they are done. It should take about fifteen minutes on low-medium heat.

For cheese, you can use whichever brand of American cheese you want, but make sure it is American cheese. Mozzarella or parmesan won’t work.

Assembling

Now that you know about the elements, let’s talk about the assembling part. Prepare the onions first. Then season the beef and make the balls. Toast the buns first and then start cooking the patty. During the time the patty cooks, spread some thousand island dressing on the buns. When the patty is almost done, add cheese on top of each patty. Wait for a minute, and then add the onions on top. After the cheese melts, take the patty and put it on top of the bun and cover it with the top half of the bun. And there you have your restaurant-style burger!

To Sum Up

Now that you know the entire process of making restaurant-style burgers at home, nothing can stop you from pleasing your loved ones. Serve the burger with some fries or wedges, and people will find it hard to believe that this dish is made at home.
