How do you cook a hamburger on the top of the stove?

Answer 1

Put it in a frying pan first. Then turn on the fire. Cook until done.

Answer 2

sprinkle some seasoning on the meat and make patties. Coat the bottom of the pan with a little oil and turn the stove on medium high. Once the pan is heated put the patties on them and wait about 5 minutes and turn it over. Keep repeating until it looks well cooked. You can always smash one down with a spatcular to see if they are cooked well. If blood comes out......cook longer.

Answer 3

I like them better grilled but obviously some places in the world are -30 right now, and I guess you'd have to be pretty dedicated to cook out in that. I like to use ground beef as lean as possible when cooking them on the stove. If you're cooking on the stovetop instead of on a grill, there's nowhere for the grease to go and they just sit there in it, so if there's less of it, that's good. Also it helps to know that it won't shrink too much from the size you originally made it. Make the patties about an inch and a half thick and about an inch wider than the buns you're using, and mix whatever seasonings you're using into the meat before you form it into patties. I like to mix in a little barbecue sauce, but just plain salt and pepper is just fine. Cook them on medium high heat. If you have a stove like mine that goes low,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,high, that's about 6. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness so you don't over/undercook them. You're going for 160F. If you're not using a nonstick skillet, apply some cooking spray before you heat it up so they don't stick. That's about all I can think of.

Answer 4

I like to mix the ground beef with chopped onions and spices before shaping patties. Then shape patties and heat up a frying pan to medium heat. Don't forget to put a little oil (very little, the burger grease will do most of the work) in the bottom. When it's hot, put the patties on. Cook, flipping once, until centers are no longer pink. Then enjoy.

Answer 5

I just did this with ground turkey about an hour ago. A little olive or canola oil in a frying pan on about med heat. not too hot or the outside will be cooked before the inside.

Answer 6

I get a large frying pan hot and then add thawed hamburger meat and chopped onions and garlic and then cook until done. Drain the fat and it is ready to go!

Answer 7

1: Shallow fry in a small amount of hot oil in a frying pan for approx. 5 Min's each side. or,
2: Sear on a griddle-plate for a similar time.
You could deep fry if you are Scottish, or boil if you are stupid.
In an "emergency", they cook fine, (if a little smokey, [disconnect alarm before cooking, re-connect before crashing], on the hob itself.
Enjoy. Chas.

Answer 8

You need to put it in a pan, lightly greased. Press down with a spatula and brown on both sides. Some people like the middle red, others want it brown all the way through.

Answer 9

In a frying pan put a spray like Pam first

Answer 10

I season it. Make a patty (a ball flattened out) and then cook until it is not pink inside. About 8 or nine minutes total time.
