Brittany,
I think it all depends on the heat, but yes, I would have used a teflon
coated skillet. I also cook my burgers on low to medium heat, but I cook
them for at least 15 minutes on each side.
On the grill, it's very easy; I cook them for about 20 minutes altogether,
and they're nice & done, minus the fat!

Subject: [CnD] A wquestion about frying hamburgers
Hello list,
I know countless people have brought up this subject, but I guess I didn't
pay enough attention, because I'm needing to bring it up again and I'm
hoping someone can help me. Tonight I really wanted a cheeseburger for
dinner, and I didn't want to bake it in the oven and don't know how to use
our grill. My husband is away and he's usually the one who cooks
hamburgers on the indoor grill. So I chose to fry my hamburger in the
skillet on the stovetop. I've done this before but it's been years since
I've done it, and when I did it last time, it was in a teflon coated
skillet. Tonight when I did it, it was in a stainless steel skillet
without a nonstick coating. I fried two hamburgers, one for now and one
for later. The second one was a bit smaller than the first one. Well,
dinner turned out edible, but not as good as I would have liked it. The
outside of my burger was crispy and tasted burnt, while the inside of my
burger tasted alright, it didn't taste raw anyway. The second
burger was almost completely unedible and burned most of the way through.
I cooked the burgers on medium heat for ten minutes on each side. Actually
come to think of it, the temperature was set on medium but on the low end
of medium. What in the world did I do wrong? At what temperature should I
fry hamburgers in a stainless steel skillet and for how long? Also, the
burgers stuck to the skillet really bad and tried to come apart when I
tried to flip them, because the bottoms would stick to the pan. Is there
a way to fry burgers without them sticking? Should I just break down and
use my teflon-coated skillet again? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks guys.
Brittany
