Any tips on cooking frozen, pre-formed hamburger patties on the barbie?

Question

Do you let them cook on the first side until blood pools, then flip them and cook until done? Do you cook for preset times (five minutes on first side, four on second)? Or exactly what do you do? Thanks for you help!

Answer 1

First you gotta build yourself a pile of coals as high as a midget's ***. Then set fire to a piece of cardboard soaked in gasoline and throw it in with the coals. After that fill up a condom with lighter fluid. Non-lubricated for Cripes sake you're gonna eat the burgers not screw `em.

Wait `til the fire is poking out of the coals and then throw that molotov condom onto the fire and then you'll have yourself a fire that can be seen from outer space. Wait for it to flare down a bit then you can start cooking.

Answer 2

I just cook them till they are brown on one side and then brown on the other side.
Then I cut into the center of one to see if it is still bloody, if not, then they are done.
If they are still bloody I cook them for a little longer.
I never had luck with the timing thing.
Then if everyone complains about them not being done, which they usually don't, I would stick them in the microwave a while.

Answer 3

I always use the Bubba burgers for this, and yes I let them cook until the juices appear on top, then flip them over to finish them off. Never press down on them so the juices stay inside.

Answer 4

Yeah, watch out for things like peices of bone. Better off getting some ground round and making them yourself.

Answer 5

I would defrost them in micro wave for about 5 mins before BBq

Answer 6

You let them thaw out, or microwave on low like number two to thaw out to room temperature, then cook.
