I like most Canadians love burgers, and since grilling is a summer-must for most, you want to make sure you don’t end up with the often inevitable charred burger, undercooked meat or bland flavouring.

To help Canadians avoid these common mis-takes, Sobeys’ professional burger-griller, Head Chef Adrian Shaw, offers the following tips to perfect the art of burger grilling:

Better Burger Grilling Tips:

 
1. Meat makes a difference. Chuck makes for an ideal burger because it offers the juiciest, fullest flavour. 

2. Start with a clean grill. To prevent burgers from sticking, brush the grates to remove food particles.

3. It’s okay to flip. Flip burgers multiple times so they don’t dry out on one side.

4. Grill at high heat. Use high heat to cook the burger as quickly as possible without it drying out.

5. Grill with the lid open. Did you know “grill-ing” refers to cooking with the lid open while “barbecuing” is cooking with the lid closed? Grilling with the lid open directs the heat to one side of the burger at a time, making for juicier, more flavourful burgers.

6. Watch for hot spots. Move the burgers around on the grill so they cook evenly.

7. Don’t ‘squish’ the burgers. It may be tempting to ‘squish’ or flatten the burgers as they grill, but doing so releases their flavourful juices.

8. Use a thermometer. Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to an internal temperature of 71 degrees Celsius (160 degrees Fahrenheit).

9. Don’t skimp on the bun. Buns come in all shapes, sizes, densities, and flavours. Make sure you’ve got the right one to complement your burger.

10. Top it off. Don’t forget to stock up on unique toppings to take your burger to the next level. From ketchup to aioli, there are endless ways to top your burger.
