I was watching the Epicurious cooking show on The Travel Channel and the chef said that he never commits the ultimate sin of pressing down on a hamburger (to rid it of grease) while it is cooking. Do you press or no?
Mark,
I don't press but after a flip, when it's nice and plump, I check for doneness by piercing the center of the burger with a tip of the spatula about halfway into the burger to see if it oozes red or clear juices. If it's clear I add cheese. If it's red or a little of both I reflip and add cheese.
