'ri,f |J n rfla ttb © b se ru e r July 2. 2008 PageA5 The All-American Burger Independence Day What's more comforting than a classic burger — thick, juicy, done to a T and capped with melted cheese? Each year on July 4th, Americans celebrate our freedom and independence with barbecues, picnics, parades, fireworks, and family gatherings. These days anything goes when it comes to throwing it on the BBQ; grilled veggies, shellfish, even fruit! Looking for something a little more traditional and all-American for this special weekend? How about a juicy, hearty, and satisfying hamburger! On the average American eats three hamburgers every week. They also say that 72% of all these more than a billion burgers are prepared and eaten somewhere other than home. Now if you are like me, you prefer homemade hamburgers. F ollow th ese tips and you 'll soon he on your way to grilling the perfect burger: • Be sure your ground meat is fresh. It should be bright pink without any unpleasant odor or dark spots. . • Avoid over-mixing ground meal because it becomes tough with handling. • Grill ground beefburgers over high heal to scar the outsides and seal in their juices. • Since it's the fat that gives burgers their natural juiciness and flavor, when using extra-lean meats, add moist ingredients for juiciness, extra I L I seasonings for flavor, and grill them more slowly over medium heat. • I'se a spatula or tongs when turning burgers to help retain their shape. • Avoid pressing down on the burgers while they're grilling; this squeezes out the juices and makes them dry and tough. • Never cook burgers to the point of dryness, but be certain they are fully cooked. The meat should show no signs of pinkness inside, the juices should run clear, and the temperature should register 160 F in the center.
