How many times to flip?

just once here

Once here.

once for me usually. unless i'm doing a bunch and end up moving them all over the place (say, cuzza hotspots or hugely varying 'doneness' requirements)

Interesting they claim in the comments that sous vide makes a good burger. Might just try that...

Mark,

Be careful, there are eggs that do not react well to bullets

Usually once, sometimes more. Don't really notice any difference - it's just a burger.

Ron,

The article was very interesting. Might try a 200-225* cook, then a high temp sear. Could cook a large batch at the low temp early, then sear them when time to serve them up.

Thanks for posting.....

4, about two a side then 90* each

I sear at 500 for 2 minutes per side then shut everything down and roast to temp. So 2 flips for me.

Beli,

I am a MFBG (multiple flipper buger guy). However, I am that way because a very, very long time ago when a good hamburger was fresh made and dripping with juice you could buy it from Wendy's and that is where I learned to cook hamburgers. We were trained to cook to a point then turn, cook, turn, cook, turn and then serve fresh off the grill. Hamburgers should not have a hard outer shell, they should be soft on the outside and cooked all the way through and then juice run out of them when you bite into them. At big family get togethers my family demands that I cook the hamburgers and it drives a lot of my male relatives insane! They don't understand the flipping. On the egg though i get away with about 4 flips.

I guess that is like asking which shoes do you put on first....we all have habits.

If I can remember, I guess I flip mine twice most times. The last one is not for cooking reasons but to check the color on the bottom side of the 1st flip

And to quote the rip-off movie:

"If someone asked me if we should flip the burger, a simple "Yes. By all means sir, flip that F$@%er, twice!"
