I don't click on clickbait ads but does putting ice on a burger while it's grilling do anything?

>>11618227
Not really. I guess it could help if you want to keep the center more rare, but that can be attained by just cooking it properly. Just seems like clickbait, because they could've put the reason why in the title.

>>11618227
I doubt melting ice on your burgers would impart more moisture which is what I would guess they are trying to achieve, juicier burgers

>>11618227
Oh there definitely is. I'm never making one the same way again

>>11618227
>ice melts
>turns to steam
>steamed hams
duh

>>11618227

I thought maybe it was like...once the iceube is melted its time to flip. I dont cook burgers so I dont know if this is retarded or not.

>>11618227
I came to find out this trick supposedly came from a Top Chef personality called Graham Elliot.

>Do you like your burgers juicy but have the problem of them drying out before they're done
No? Has anyone ever said a burger was dry when the issue wasn't overcooking? Just don't overcook your burgers.

>>11618292
what? dude, shut the fuck up.

>>11618256
your'e completely retarded.
It's nothing but clickbait.

>>11618270
>not showing the inside

>>11618227
I've seen some cooks squirt water on the grille and cover with a bowl to steam the patty
I'm assuming this is supposed to work in a similar manner but probably is useless

it's a retarded idea
the moisture on the ice side will prevent a good sear

>>11618292
I think the issue is they are trying to make the patties too thick.

>>11618227
You should absolutely do this. It cures cancer and prevents wrinkles.

Even if you want a juicier burger, you don't just pour water on them like that. You want some flavor which water doesn't have.

Sounds like a trick for people scared of cooking. Just learn how long to keep the damn thing on the grill/pan and when to flip. If you fuck up do it again.

Imagine having a tray of ice cubes for your prep lol.

>>11618393
How else can you reliably check if the oil is hot?

melts the cheese faster so it stays more rare

>>11618387
This. I can't stand when recipes call for diluting shit with water.
>>11618407
you put your finger under tap water for a second, and flick it into the oil

>>11618227
>doesn't clickbait
>assumes everyone else clickbaits

>>11618232
Fuck off RIAA shill

>>11618354
The thickness of the patty shouldn't matter. You can always sear the outside and then finish cooking via indirect heat. The key is not to overcook the middle by leaving the patty over high heat for too long.

Or you could try reverse searing the patties. Cook them via indirect heat until the middle is nearly done and then finish by searing. Either way, a skilled cook should be able to produce a juicy, seared patty that is still slightly pink in the middle (about medium doneness). Only an unskilled dumbass would produce a dried out patty.

>Or you could try reverse searing the patties. Cook them via indirect heat until the middle is nearly done and then finish by searing.
This is the best way to do it if you're cooking at home, I think. Otherwise all the juices leak into the pan while you're trying to sear it and it just doesn't come out properly. Tried recommending it a few times here and always just got told I'm trying to be too fancy though :(

In addition to the water trick the other guy described, you can see oil shimmering when it's hot. Also, if you're making burgers, ideally you're using something that allows you to feel the heat radiating off of it, like iron.

>>11618227
alternatively you could have just tried it yourself and reported back instead of shitting up the board with this thread you fucking mong

>>11619248
Not wasting perfectly good ice on an idea I got from an ad.

>>11618237
Makes it colder

>>11618751
>too fancy
fgt

>>11618227
or you could just refrigerate your patties.

>>11618227
Who the hell seasons their burger with water?

>soak burger while cooking
>inhibit maillard reactions by adding constant moisture
>create grey disaster instead of burger patty

Yeah, no, thanks, pass.

>>11618251
this.
I only make icecube burgers

If the artists actually made money off record sales I would argue that piracy IS theft because you're stealing from their hard earned money but it's pretty much only the labels that profit so fuck em.
