Pre’s holiday season is beginning, grilling season.
We wait for the air to warm up and then we uncover the grills! Memorial Day marks the start of summer grilling. This year, cookouts with all your friends and family may not be possible but making a stand out burger is still a must. No one said you have to stay 6 feet from delicious, juicy burgers.
Making the perfect burger can be done in many ways but there are a couple of techniques we like to use on the regular. There are not many things worse than a dry, shrunken burger when you have been waiting all winter for the perfect grilled burger bite. Let’s all take an oath to never settle for a mediocre burger and get to grilling!#grilltogether
5 Burger Techniques for Juicy Burgers
The Perfect Shape
The perfect burger shape varies from person to person. Our perfect burgers are about an inch thick. This thickness keeps you from overcooking the outside while the inside cooks. Round your edges to make for an easy flip. Also, pay attention to the burger buns you have. Shape your burgers to your bun! Keep in mind your burgers will shrink a little but technique #3 will keep them from shriveling.
When to Salt
Last year, Christy from@christinewilliamscooks, was in our kitchen cooking up some burgers recipes forwhen you forget the hamburger buns at the store and need to improvise. She shared with us one of her favorite burger tricks to keep the burgers juicy. Salt the side, put that side down on the grill, and then right before you flip, salt the top side. This way the salt does not suck out the moisture while the burger is cooking.
The Indent Trick
This is an old but trustworthy trick. Use your thumb to make an indent in the center of your burger before cooking. This indent keeps the burger from shrinking while on a hot grill or grill pan. Use this trick to make sure your burger matches your buns!
Measure out the burgers and flatten on a cutting board.
Spoon the blue cheese into the middle and fold in the sides to the center.
Carefully shape your burger. Grill and then top with some bacon and red onion and add this burger to your“Wow the Guests” Cookout recipe list.

Elevate Your Burger Toppings
There is nothing like a classic cheeseburger made with a toasted sesame bun, American cheese, sliced red onion, tomatoes and ketchup. We took these classic toppings and gave them a makeover.
Massage your red onion slices with a little lime and salt.
Grill your tomatoes and top with flaky sea salt.
Mix ketchup with Gochujang paste for a Korean kick.

"Real talk...since my cancer was environmental and not hereditary I am super conscious of what goes into my body, especially protein. Post chemo left my body super low in iron so steak remains in my diet. I found Pre a few months ago and it’s the only meat I buy. Grass-fed, no added hormones and most importantly affordable. Eat better for your body people!"

"Your steaks, especially the sirloin, ribeye, and filet mignon are absolutely delicious. Wasn’t sure how these cuts would taste grilled but they taste just as good if not better than cuts I’ve had a top notch steakhouses."
Mario
"When our son was diagnosed with a rare medical disorder, it meant that we would have to change our diet as a family. Because his metabolism doesn’t function like a typical person’s, we have to be very careful about what we feed him. One of the changes we made was to use more grass-fed and finished beef in our cooking. We decided to give Pre a try, and we are so happy with the quality and taste of the meat. Buying from Pre gives us peace of mind and we feel confident knowing that we are using a product in the top of its class."

"This beef is AMAZING! I'm from Wisconsin so a huge steak lover. This is some of the best beef, I've experienced and I've had beef around the world. It's a must try, and you'll understand what I mean."
