Burgers Mk II

Another attempt. T came over with some ground beef for burgers last night. He went to a butcher this time for the beef, and we did the patties ourselves. He asked what they recommended and got 92-8 beef. It was nice, and being from a butcher was generally better than what we normally get. We don't have one near us, and do the frozen ground stuff from the grocery store. Just in working with them to make the patties you could tell it was totally different.

Using the grill was good this time. Propane built up and singed the hair off my right arm when it lit. After that, we did the grilling as you'd expect. One thing we tried that was different was putting the rolls on the grill. It worked, and was a neat idea. Next time we might butter them first. We also tried something that didn't do a whole lot. We put a mushroom slice on two of them, just to see what would happen. What happens is that the mushroom gets sort of warm, and the meat underneath stays pink. We will stick to putting them on afterwards.

I also did the thing where I don't cook the burgers long enough on the grill. Most were done, but a few had some pinkish spots.
