I didn’t have a meat thermometer; I’m going to buy one. To make sure the meat would cook through, I covered the burgers with a lid during frying. On electric stove heat 3 out of 7, I fried them 4 min on one side and 3 min on the other. I was satisfied with my burgers taste - well done but not tough:) Is there a reason that chefs don’t cover the burgers with a lid while frying? Does covering with a lid somehow makes the burgers come out less perfect?
Thank you, I'm going to cook my first burger.
That's great! Let me know how it comes out.
