Critical Success Points

  • Season the patty right before it hits the pan to avoid steaming the “bleed”
  • Sear the patty without moving for a full 3 minutes to develop a crust
  • Toast the bun halves cut side down until golden, not burnt

Safety Warnings

  • The skillet will be very hot – use oven mitts or a thick towel when handling the pan
  • Oil can splatter; keep face away from the pan while searing
  • Pressing the patty releases liquid – avoid pressing with the spatula
