Hi Brittany. Thanks for the advice. I want to try to bake them sometime. I'll follow your tips tonight though and try to pan fry them. I love a good pan fried burger. My mom would always steam the bun too. I think she puts the cheese on and then stacks the bottom and the top buns on top of the meat, then puts the lid on for a few minutes while the cheese melts into gooey yumminess! Wish me luck and thanks again.

But I have done them before and the way I tell that they're done is by texture and by pressing on the meat. If it feels firm, it's probably done. If there's any squishiness to the patty, then it may not be done. I usually cook mine for 8 minutes on medium heat on the first side, flip, and cook for six or seven on the other side. Then I press down on the meat to see what kind of response I get. I also feel the sides of the patty for squishiness. I eventually got it by trial and error, but for me personally, I found that the sure fire way to get the meat all the way cooked through is by baking the hamburger patties. I have not done this in over a year so I don't remember the precise time and temperature I used, but that's a definite way to get them cooked through. Maybe someone else knows about baking hamburgers and how long to do them?
