You need to know that
Being a preparation made with minced meat, it must always be well-cooked and not rare to avoid the risk of foodborne diseases from pathogenic microorganisms.
On a steak, any contamination remains superficial and is eliminated during cooking.
This is why it is possible to eat a rare or slightly cooked steak.
In minced meat preparations, contamination can spread inside.
This is why when consuming hamburgers, meatballs, or other dishes made with minced meat, it is important that the cooking is complete and there are no pink or undercooked areas.I cook my soft and juicy hamburgers in a pan.
Prick the hamburgers on both sides with a fork [to prevent juices from exploding when cut].
Heat a wide nonstick pan.
Cover the bottom of the pan with a sheet of parchment paper.Transfer the hamburgers to the pan on the parchment paper and cook with a lid, preferably glass, for 2 minutes per side.
Continue cooking without the lid for another 2-3 minutes per side.
Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of your hamburgers.Your homemade meat hamburgers soft and juicy are ready.
Enjoy your meal!
