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.

Fantastic Firecracker (Beef)
BackStory: Celebrate the true beginning of summer with a spark. Bring on the sun.
Built Take: The challenge of making heat taste delicious, not offensive. We nailed it. We carefully selected 8 different varieties of peppers and folded them into all natural beef. Finished with sweet, warm tones of garlic, shallots and cilantro. A Built packed with heat, delicious in every way.
Why Now:How do you make this summer better than the last one? With a super spicy delicious burger. That's how.
BackStory: Traveling the globe for appealing flavors is always on our burger bucket list. This one is no exception in that we wanted to capture the familier, yet exotic flavors of panang thai curry in a burger. See for yourself.
Built Take: First, the meat. Fresh ground all natural pork shoulder. Next, the integration of classic panang flavors - coconut milk, thai curry paste, snow peas, carrots, cilantro, ginger and a touch of pineapple. Sublime flavor and perfect sans bun.
Why Now: Summer is the season of traveling. While you might not get there, we take you there with our first in a long line of exotic flavors.
BackStory: We get inspired by the right beer and wine that when paired with different Built flavors, it's sheer eating pleasure. We started tinkering with wine as a burger enhancer and here the debut.
Built Take: Simplicity and the right combination are often the most memorable flavors, right? Try this combo: Italian Marsala wine, fresh mushrooms, garlic, shallots and a nice dose of butter all blend together for a seriously savory taste profile.
Why Now:
Lots of request for mushrooms. Our Marvelous Mushroom sold out. So, we decided to evolve with something we think is even better.
Amazing Hot Wing BuiltBurger (all natural chicken)
BackStory: The Built team of mad "burger" scientists love to have fun. This one epitomizes that trait --- capture the quintessential flavor of all-american hot wings in a delicious, moist authentic chicken burger.
Built Take: Tender freshly ground all natural chicken takes on a bold, flavorful personality with the right balance of freshly diced celery, hand-crumbled danish bleu cheese and classic Buffalo-style hot wing sauce. Top it with good 'ole ranch and you have a real winner.
Why Now: Everyone needs a new app. for summer parties. Skip the bun...quarter this one up and insert picks. Folks will talk.

BackStory:All
of a sudden, don't you see the tall "rooster sauce" bottle everywhere?
This spicy chili garlic sauce has become quite the rage. Then, bon
appetit names it "Ingredient of the Year" (January 2010 issue) and we
just know there is a "rooster built" just waiting to be...um, Built.
BuiltBurger Take:
We created a harmony of flavors that work
together to give you just right amount of heat, while still honoring the meat
and other fresh ingredients. This one
takes all natural beef and incorporates ginger, shallots, garlic and basil
before adding the right dose of Sriracha before it becomes a mighty tasty (with
just the right HEAT) BuiltBurger.
Why Now: Add a
little heat to those cold early spring nights.
