Its always "cook your food bro!!" In the middle. We eat it, we live, but its pink. You can see the crust, i was proud of that! The bun i didnt even try, i was all patty tonight. Im sick of screwing up everything so now im working on 1 thing at a time!
I dont have a center bite because it was pink.
How do i not burn the '$#>2>&$' out of the patty, but still make it looks safe inside?!? Nobody wants a med-rare burger!!!

Cook it slower and flip it more often
How are you cooking it?
I want a med rare burger.
I want med rare thank you. Maybe your heat is too high
Turn down the heat
If you’re looking for a crusty patty cooked all the way through, smash patty is the easy way. It’s my go-to because it’s quick and easy to duplicate for more than one person.
If you want a thicker bite, just stack your patties.
If you want to stick with the thicker patty, treat your burger more like a steak. Pan temp should be right at 300-350 f, plenty of butter in your pan, flipping every 30 seconds until your crust has formed and your internal temp is where you want it.
If it’s too crusty and not cooked through for your thickness, lower temp and try again.
Low and slow my friend. Whether it’s in the oven, on a cast iron pan or a grill, low heat and let it take some time. Get a meat thermometer if you gotta and check on it while cooking.
What a weird post.
I learned after much practice to cook only to med rare and then wrap them in foil and let them steam inside on the upper rack of grill until cooked to medium, the way I like it. It makes for a far more juicy and evenly cooked burger.
Also, don’t smash the burger as it cooks. Let it sear.
High heat
Stop listening to assholes on the internet who say the most ridiculous things. The number one stupidest thing said in this entire sub is that meat that is cooked rare is unsafe and that it’s not good? Not only is it safe, and you never hear about people getting sick from eating it that way. It has way better texture and tastes infinitely better than if it’s well done. Good luck trying to find a story of someone who actually got sick from eating a medium rare Burger.
If every restaurant under the sun that sells burgers is allowed to offer you a burger cooked rare or medium rare. Then it’s definitely not some health crisis, or they wouldn’t be able to sell it that way.
Turn the temp down and cook it a bit longer.
Nothing that’s a perfect looking burger to me
Looks perfect!
Turn the heat down to low or low-med…
Add a lid on top of your pan for the first side
Med rare all day.
The bun looks a little dry, try buttering the bun.
Looks bomb af
Lol, it looks fine, youre trippin
Sounds awesome. If you’re afraid of pink beef, google Mettbrötchen
I mean visually that’s a perfect cheeseburger.
Thinner patties or lower temperature.
In the US medium rare / medium is common for burgers. I share your aversion.
looks good and nothing wrong Bro
Idk. I had to throw out grassfed patties because my bro did me a favor and cooked them but they were raw inside and had sat on the counter for an hour. He just didn’t realize and I wasn’t taking chances. Maybe reverse sear? Put them in the oven, then take out and sear in a pan.
*I* want a medium rare burger.
Medium rare is the proper way to cook a burger.
Smash that mfrigger … flip and smash again … 🙂
