OMG I am so hungry now!!! My burger tip: Add butter! Put the patty in, let it cook for about 30 seconds, then add a big slice of butter to the pan. When you flip the burger, do the same and add another portion of butter. This will give extra fat to the meat and make an incredibly crusty, juicy, delicious burger! It's very helpful if you can't find or can't afford fuller fat or better quality meat.

Oh my, so many delicious burgers! I should not have watched because it’s almost 10:00pm & now I’m hungry 🤤. Another great video.

I love your tip about cutting the assembled burger in half and browning the cut ends. I’ll try that next time! One thing I like to do with my burgers sometimes, is gently fold a bit of cubed cheese into each patty before cooking. Makes them extra juicy and you get pops of gooey cheese when you bite into the burger.

😍 Nice sharing these Burger tips with us 🙏🏿🙏🏿. I love all about burgers 😋 & the ingredients tips given to put these marvels 😋😋 together is simply great 👍 Thanks so much for all the informations 🙏🏿🥰😄🤗

Refika, this patty recipe looks amazing! I would suggest that you try pretzel buns. Pretzel buns with plenty of mustard

I love you too. Thanks for the tips 🥰

They all look amazing 😻! I love a burger with sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese 🧀. Another favorite would be bacon cheese burger with a fried egg on top . Yummy 😋!

Thank you Refika and team :). I find when you use good meat and keeping it simple (just meat and a good sprinkle of salt and pepper) it tastes so much better then the burgers with a long list of ingredients. And let your burger rest 10-15 mins after cooking. this will allow the juices to get pulled back into the meat.

Greetings from Cape Town! We love sweet food so we love adding some Cape Malay peach chutney and olive oil to the minced beef.

Tomato, lettuce, pickle, and mayo on a toasted bun. I don't have a burger very often, but when I do, I want the best. So easy and less expensive when you make it at home.

How timely! I will be grilling burgers with my son, his significant other, and my granddaughter this evening. Thanks for some additional ideas. Yum, yum, yum!

OMG! Amazing

I’m a purist when it comes to the burger patty and just like good beef, salt and pepper. Any cheese, American, cheddar, Swiss, Blue it’s good by me. It must have pickles though! I can do veges or not. I love in Australia when you get a burger with ‘the works’. This will include pineapple, beetroot, fried egg, BBQ sauce, and more! Burgers are just delicious 🤤

American cheese is not actually cheese-at least, not legally. The FDA calls it “pasteurized processed American cheese food.” In order for a food product to be a true “cheese,” it has to be more than half cheese, which is technically pressed curds of milk.

Thank you, Refika & the team. Delicious, as always! Love from Germany❤

You may think it's crazy, but my favorite burger is thick, medium rare, cheese, and crispy bacon on top, with a good amount of peanut butter spread under the burger. Good spicy jam spread on top bun goes well with it, too! I thought it was weird too, until I tried it!

Great tips. Certainly going to try some of them. Thanks.

Delicious, Refika! We always put a little Worcestershire on the burgers about 15 minutes before they go on the grill. I love this lovely French Dijon mustard with tarragon in it or some tomato chutney on my burger, mushrooms sauteed in butter and fresh herbs is another of my favorite toppings, and there must be pickles!

with the smash burger, it’s important to leave it in a ball for the first few minutes of sautéing. smash after a few minutes to improve caramelization and browning of the meat. i’m from the midwest in the US…. that’s how they do it in the diners that make insanely great burgers. appreciate you all. thank you. 💛

Fabulous burger recipes, Refika. The burgers look amazing after they are assembled, too.

Great video on all about burgers 101, and then some. Of course I watched to the end, your videos are always nicely detailed and fun. NOTE: I love a good brioche, but for a hamburger not so much, it disintegrates when wet ingredients like tomato or pickles are added, even toasted. Refika, as always Thank you!💕👍

Perfect ♥️🧿👏 I eat once in a while home-made. Molases make everything delicious Red onions, too.

Thanks for another great video. ❤

I’m not crazy about burgers, however I will try your tips!! Looks great!!!👍

Oh my goodness! Yum ❤

Wow! I love this. 😻🍔

Hi Refika, I have 2 tips that I love. First, Saute slivered Onions in a pan with melted butter. Add salt & pepper and cook, stirring occasionally until caramelized. Second is my sauce. 1/4 cup Mayo, half as much ketchup. 1 TBS mustard and a squirt of siracha. Diced dill pickle with a little pickle juice. Mix. Yum.

I love your burger theory section. So few people describe the REASONS for their decisions on burger size and additives.. Very nice. :) I'm Australian - so we like beetroot on our burgers, instead of gerkins/pickles.

For bun flavor boosts, you can use a garlic butter spread before toasting the bun. For having extra smokiness when you cannot grill outside in the cold weather, use smoked melty cheeses for your burger (smoked cheddar, smoked provolone, smoked mozzarella). Add some smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, coriander, and/or chipotle powder to your mayonnaise. A fresh salsa will tast good on the burger (onion, serrano pepper, tomato, cilantro, lime juice), it will bring out more juiciness.

That gourmet burger looks amazing!

Tip I learned in culinary school: Make the center slightly thinner than the edges (bi-concave disc). As the burger cooks it shrinks inward and will pull meat toward the center causing it to be flat instead of round in the center. This makes it cook more evenly and also helps keep the toppings from rolling off.

No no I won't believe it till I taste it from you.. In Trabzon ❤😅

I watch all your videos, even though I’m vegetarian. Always some useful tips to apply to all my other recipes. Hello to the entire team!

This is an amazing video! Thank you for sharing. Onions are a must on a burger, red, yellow, or white and thinly sliced. Grilled or fresh onion, I prefer both! Also, I like what is known in America as a bread-and-butter pickle. It is halfway between a sour pickle and a sweet pickle. It is also pickled with onion, mustard seeds, and celery seeds. They have an outstanding flavor!

This American approves 😎💪🏻🇺🇸 BBQ sauce with bacon is very popular in the USA. Also, onions are very popular too (all of Refika's options are great). Lastly, I personally love my burgers with spicy pickled jalapeño peppers and tomato ketchup and yellow mustard. 🤤🍔

I always say how lovely the recipes are and of course our wonderful Chef Refika, but must credit the beautiful photography which brings another level of deliciousness to your charming videos. We do LOVE them - my husband is making some as I type. Happy Easter '24!

Thank you for your Worcestershire Sauce hack. I don't like the ingredients in Worcestershire Sauce, but I love the flavor. You have given me the answer to my problem!

I love onions on my burgers, so my burger tip is to make a quick onion pickle by slicing some onions, adding salt, rubbing them to make it easier for the onion juice to come out, and cover it with lime juice. The lime juice and onion juice combine and make a great pickling acid. You can also add habaneros for an extra floral scent. I like to add garlic and black pepper to the pickle as well. It pickles great for same-day use, but it's even better the day after! edit: Omg ILY too 😭 this is my favorite cooking show!

I love to make pizza burgers. After the burger patty is done. I to it with tomato sauce. A little bit of pepperoni. Some veggies that I like on pizza and some delicious mozzarella cheese.

amazing 😋😘🤪

Yummy episode! If you like iceberg on the burger, put on a thin slice of a small iceberg or half of a big one, it is way less messy to eat. ❤

Love your channel. Will comment later about the meat pizza and wonderful super sharp curved blade knife.

I like to make cheese stuffed burgers. I make small pucks of cheese (a little butter helps shredded cheese stick together) and freeze them before forming the meat around the cheese. This keeps the cheese from leaking out while cooking.

OMG❣️❣️❣️😍

Shack burgers are the worst, love this video all informations are great. Big thanks to you and your team

Refika, thank you for your absolutely fantastic videos! I want to host a Turkish breakfast at home and I'm looking into getting those copper frying pans, those used for menemen suckle yumurta, etc. What size is best for individual use? I found some online and the smallest is 16 cm and the largest 28cm (which is clearly too large for one person). They are quite pricey and I'd want to make a good choice, so thought you'd be the perfect one to ask for advice! Thank you!

I'd wanna go to your restaurant ❤

Refika!!! (and lovely team) These are all great tips for burgers... and that's high praise coming from someone in the US! One tip we'd suggest for the big burgers, which we have found to be useful, is not to press on the meat once it is on the heat. It can be very tempting to do so but we believe that it squeezes out the delicious juices. So, that's what we would recommend. We hope all are well on your side of the globe. Be well and stay safe!!

As always great recipe Refika! Try this one: homemade pita bread, fresh fish patty (chop the fish, add salt white pepper lime zest, chopped green onion and parsley, beaten egg and panko). Cook the patties in a little butter (and/or oil) over medium heat. Garnish with avocado slices, onion rings or tempura, lettuce or any green you prefer. Sometimes I make taboulé parsley salad but without bulgur and use it as a garnish. As for the sauce, I use homemade tartar sauce, or tahini sauce, or the yogurt sauce that is normaly use for shish taouk. Even a garlic seasonned homemade mayonnaise is good with that … try it… you will like it😊 11:34

Well, I want the spatula. 😀Sooo let me think. In Macedonia we have a meat patty with cheese inside the patty , it’s called sharska pleskavica (шарска плескавица). It is very tasty. Something else: A interesting fact about our burgers is that in the bread roll we put the patty, some condiments like ketchup and mayo, fresh cucumbers and cabbage, if a person is a fan, hot pepper flakes. Inside the bread roll we put the potato chips (fries) as well. The burger is not complete without the chips.

I would love more vegan recipes loved your Eatballs ❤️❤️

Hmmmm I do love a good burger. You got my mouth watering. I prefer a ciabatta bun as it stands up better to all those juicy fillings. I always order a burger with chutney and jalapeño peppers the hot and sweet is so tasty. It also has bacon for that Smokey flavor as well. Our normal grocery stores in the US don’t have great meat selection all the time. I do agree with the person who mentioned using a little butter to get it nice and juicy if your meat is not as fatty as you would like. As always well done team Rafika.

Great video but now I really want a burger!

Oh my goodness what an amazing video and it’s hard to add anything to make the burgers any better I’ve seen on comet about stuffing the patties with cheese so that tip is out my other comment would be to put the cheese on the patty add a splash of water in the pan and then put on the lid the steam help to melt the cheese

🍔

This spatula is hard to find in stores. Would love one💕. In West Hartford CT🙂

I like tzatziki on my burgers.

I loved you saying 😅 with economic crises the meat is becoming smaller n smaller 😝🤗🤗🤗♥️✌️🕊️🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃😎👍

I really didn't like fast food your food is easy and healthy 😮

In my patties I add onions, garlic and ginger paste or powder, salt, pepper, cumin and green chilli… do try u wld love it and spatula will be mine …😂

Growing up we hardly ever went to the big burger retailers unless we where in the city, normally in our home town it was the family run takeaway if we did. I would guess 90% of the time we would have homemade Frikadelle as my mother was german [dad was welsh] and the recipe is very similar to the one you showed and was normally just beef. One variation Oma taught mum was to add chopped up leftover meat to the raw minced beef, these are very different in texture and abit in flavour. depending on the added protein beef/pork/chicken/lamb/rabbit. I stll make all variations for my family to this day and have taught my kids all that my Oma taught me such as adding abit of pickle brine to the meat blend and using a panade made with light rye bread. A great way to pass on memories and family history least the be forgotten. I would point out that if you add an acid to the raw mince you need to use it all or it will denature the protiens making the meat crumbley with a mealy moth feel which is rather unpleasent.

I really love you and your country Turkey
