I never add water to mine. If it gets too greasy I carefully drain the pan by the sink. I do press down a little with a spatula to make sure they stay flat. George got on me once a while back because my burgers were not staying flat so i try to be pretty careful about that. I have a cover on the panb so the frying will not splash at me. I go for maybe 5 minutes on the first side, then turn off the pan and let it fry more. When it quiets down, I slide the pan off the heat, open it, flip it, and go a few minutes more. I have the heat pretty high with the pan covered. I don't get burned because I wait until it calms down before opening the cover. I also like to put the buns in under the cover on top of the burgers so the buns can get warm and get the flavor into them. Also if I assemble the burgers when they are pretty darn warm, if I have a slice of cheese it will start to melt. Yum! No out burger tastes like a good fried homemade one. Lora
