    That’s. Something. I’m not a fan of pressing patties when cooking but I think this one coulda stood one smoosh.

    Bet it tastes fine just the way it is though.

  3. Bulbous Burger is the name of my band. Sorry, I don’t have an answer for you.

    In high school I worked at a shitty Burger restaurant called 2 Doors Down. They had prepackaged frozen patties that would just go on a conveyor belt through the oven. About half way through the cooking process they would balloon up like this, nearly spherical. I would have to reach in there with tongs and pinch them like a zit to get the juices to spray out until it was flat again. Sometimes the spurt would stream out of the oven a couple feet. It was super fun and horrendously disgusting.

    When making a burger if you put an indent on the top with a tea spoon or something similar it will stop it from ballooning

    Looks like you made patty balls and dropped it in the grill without shaping further.

    I make a dimple in the center of my patties to help prevent this

  10. So nobodies gonna say anything about the pan huh?

    MF literally got crop circles on it.

    No indent in the middle, possibly too high of a fat content which causes alot of shrinkage.
    Also I don’t recommend a non stick pan for a burger, the heat requirement is too high for nonstick and you’re gettin all kinds of fun non stick chemicals in your meat and ruining your pan

    At first I was like is that avocado pit?
    Then I was like is that a potato?
    Then I was like, this that a hamburger bun?
    Then I was like no it’s the meat patty.
