What weight/size do you make your burgers? - 02/04/19 11:28 PM
I use "jumbo" buns (about 4.5 inches across) and go for around 6 to 8 ounces, which ends up about 3/4 inch thick. If I'm somehow stuck with regular size buns I'll go maybe 5 ounces and just slightly thinner.
This is for normal cooking - if I'm doing burgers for more than a few people I'll go 1/4lb (and obviously regular size buns) for ease of cooking. Anyone needing more (I know I will!) can either have more or make a double...
If it's just me sometimes I'll go all the way up to 12 ounces, but at that size I use toasted sourdough - more square inches than any bun I know of and holds up better...
What say you all?
