Hypothesis

The hypothesis is that pressing the pattie thinner in the last 2 minutes of cooking will improve the flavor.

Recipe - To make 10 serves


  • 2500 gram mince beef (Medium grind from xxx supplier)

  • 12 gram salt

  • 3 gram pepper

Method

  • Place all the ingredients for the burgers in a large bowl. Season and mix well. Cover and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • Using wet hands, shape the mixture into 8 burgers. If you want to cook them straight away skip to step 4.
  • If you are freezing them; place flat between sheets of baking paper in a rigid freezerproof container. Freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to use, defrost the burgers completely in the fridge; this will take 3-4 hours.
  • Heat a griddle pan or barbecue to hot. Brush both sides of the burgers with oil and cook for 3-4 minutes each side or until well browned and cooked.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium hot. Top each burger with a slice of cheese and grill for 2 minutes until bubbling. Toast the burger buns until lightly golden.
  • Mix the mayonnaise with the mustard and spread over the base of each bun. Add some tomato, lettuce and avocado slices, then the burger, red onion slices and the other half of the bun.

What we want to test

We want to test consumer response to 4 pattie thicknesses

Method


Prepare 4 batches of 10 equally sized 10mm think patties

  • Test 1 - Cook on 200C grill for 8 min then 'squish' to 8mm think and cook for 2 mins
  • Test 2 - Cook on 200C grill for 8 min then 'squish' to 6mm think and cook for 2 mins
  • Test 3 - Cook on 200C grill for 8 min then 'squish' to 5mm think and cook for 2 mins
  • Test 4 - Cook on 200C grill for 8 min then 'squish' to 4mm think and cook for 2 mins
