When it comes to summertime grilling, the stakes are high. The sun is blazing, kids are running wild, everyone is hungry, and all eyes are on you while you tend to an open fire. No big deal, right? While burgers have a reputation for being an easy option to serve when curating a cookout menu, they are incredibly hard to do well, especially at scale. You have hot spots to contend with and flare-ups to manage, knowing that just a couple of minutes separate a perfectly cooked burger from one that looks and tastes more like a hockey puck. That said, in my opinion, the payoff of a perfectly cooked burger is worth the cortisol surge of (wo)manning the grill. One has not experienced true joy until they have nailed a tray of beautifully cooked-medium burgers.
