How to cook BuiltBurgers?
Grilling and BBQ Ideas
Begin with defrosting your gourmet burgers from BuiltBurger. Keep them frozen until about 24 hours before you plan to cook them. Ideally, defrost in the refrigerator. In a pinch, remove the butcher paper and place individually wrapped flavors in a bowl of cool water to speed up defrosting.
Take a minute to review the cooking and grilling tips below. These tips and ideas represent our many experiences that went into creating the BuiltBurger brand and products.
Grilling Instructions - Outdoor BBQ:
1. First, prepare your bbq or grill. This is the most important step.
GAS: Ignite grill and keep lid closed for at least 15 minutes while the grill surface gets hot. Ideally, reach a temperature of 350+ degrees. Open lid and lower heat to medium.
CHARCOAL or WOOD: Once coals/chips are nice and hot, keep lid closed for 15 minutes. Open lid and wait 10 minutes before placing BuiltBurgers on grill surface.
For both, a nice bonus is to apply a bit of olive oil to the grill surface. Use a rumpled up paper towel with about a tablespoon of olive oil.
2. Place BuiltBurgers on grill.
Our all-natural meats should be cooked gently. Cook approx. 5-7 minutes per side. If the external air temperature is above 60 degrees, keep grill lid open. If below 60 degrees, you may close lid, but cooking times may be shortened, so monitor frequently.
Try not to press down on Builts with a spatula. It's a good idea to turn only once if you can.
3. Remove BuiltBurgers from grill.
Place on serving platter and allow BuiltBurgers to rest for 3-5 minutes.
Place on bun and apply recommended toppings and enjoy.
Grilling Instructions - Indoors (Seared in the Pan, Finished in the Oven):
You don't have to BBQ to enjoy a burger. BuiltBurgers are a year-round gourmet meal. Therefore, they can be cooked indoors with great results if you follow these simple steps.
1. First, prepare a cast iron skillet or a good skillet (don't use non-stick) and the oven.
Heat skillet on hot for approximately 5 minutes and lower heat to medium.
At the same time, warm-up oven by setting it on "Broil - High". If oven has different broil settings, after 10 minutes, change to "Broil - Low"
2. Place BuiltBurgers in pan to sear.
Sear both sides approx. 2 minutes on each side.
3. Place pan with seared BuiltBurgers into oven on middle rack setting (avoid using top rack setting)
"Broil - Low" for approximately 7-10 minutes; if low setting is unavailable, cooking time will be shortened, so monitor carefully
4. Remove BuiltBurgers from pan.
Place on serving platter and allow BuiltBurgers to rest for 3-5 minutes.
Place on bun and apply recommended toppings and enjoy.
