How do you make a hamburger that does not fall through the grill?

Answer 1

add italian bread crumbs. don't be afraid to add liquid things as well (A1, vinegar, mustard... anything with a lot of flavor). then make sure the meat is getting cooked up around the edges before flipping with a spatula big enough to pick the whole burger up. happy grilling!

Answer 2

Place aluminum foil on top of the grill. Works for me. By the time its consistent enought to not fall throught the grill, I remove the aluminum foil.

Answer 3

i usually cover grill with foil,,,i've never had a problem with them falling through ...what i want to know is how to keep from dropping them when you turn them...i lose at least one burger per cookout that way. ;)...(oh and i usually buy premade patties, if i am making my own i add stuff to it like lipton soup mix, green peppers, etc.)

Answer 4

put aluminum foil on the grill and put the patties on the foil and grill it

Answer 5

add an egg and oatmeal to the meat before you make your patties. This will thicken them up.

Answer 6

you may not like this, but a less lean gound beef will stay together better than really lean stuff. plus once it's done if you melt a slice of cheese on it, it will glue it all together

Answer 7

add a little egg to the beef and make sure they are packed tightly... dont try to turn them too early

Answer 8

add egg and oatmeal or rice (rice is usually for meatballs)

p.s. i like the bread crumbs idea and the foil one too :)

Answer 9

Make your patties larger than a walnut.

Answer 10

use an egg mixed in with it or bread crumbs ie: italian bread crumbs are really tasty! good luck
