David Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I know I love to low and slow and think of various methods of cooking/ smoking etc but there is one thing that will always remain in the top ten for me and that’s a good burger. Stopped by at Cheerbrook Farm Shop today near Nantwich and picked up a few steak burgers. Grilled over lump wood at high temperature on the Smokey Joe; toasted fresh roll and lettuce, tomato, dill pickle, mustard and ketchup. P.S - I also bought an Angus Brisket point, so hopefully attempting Burnt Ends tomorrow!!. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I do love a burger. Quite often I will make the classic, 20% fat mince and use a burger press I got a couple of Christmas’s ago. Press the patty to 1/4 size and then 3 minutes on each side over a chimney of lumpwood. Stick the cheese on for the last minute and it is nice and soft. Nice and simple, but when done right it is definitely a great meal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlashster Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 The neighbours are currently cooking some cheap burgers and they smell awesome. I know they are rubbish compared to the homemade ones we have, but there is something about the smell that is so enticing! Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Just remember as great as they smell. They are never as great. My mum brought me ready made burgers from Able & Cole that shrank in size. One pack of four cost as much as it would cost for 8 burgers I could make myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Our philosophy is when you make your own, whatever it is, sauce, burgers, jam, cakes, you know what going in and not what some manufacturer thinks we should have in. Ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 The ones I bought were very good and I could see them being hand pressed on site, no shrinkage, 20% fat declared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
