How Do You Keep Burgers Moist On The Grill?

Keep hamburgers warm by setting them on a preheated aluminum tray as soon as they come off the grill. If necessary, you can put the tray back in the oven. As an alternative, add cooked burgers to a slow cooker set to low; or add a bit of beef broth to an aluminum pan set over indirect heat, and place the burgers inside.

But how do you guarantee the burgers you’re serving up at home are just as juicy and moist as the ones from your local burger joint? I searched far and wide for the top juicy burger hacks and put three of the most popular to the test, including the ice cube trick, the mayonnaise method and the ever-popular thumbprint technique.

Avoid the ”High” or ”Low” settings as excessive heat or low heat will dry out the burgers. Add an oven-safe bowl at the bottom of the crockpot to keep the burgers fresh for more than an hour. Fill the bowl with water as the steam it will produce keeps the burger moist.

There are those ( chefs included) who advocate against cooking burgers right on your grill grates, as you can lose a lot of the flavorful juices and fat—which sometimes also causes flare-ups that char your meat to a crisp (in a bad way).
