Looking for consistently tasty patties? These simple pointers can help.

1. Pick your patty: 80/20 beef tends to stay juicy; 85/15 balances richness and drip; 93/7 is leaner. Poultry and plant-based options offer different textures.
2. Form gently: Handle minimally. Aim for even thickness with a slight thumb dimple to help reduce doming.
3. Season smart: Salt and pepper right before cooking. Add extras (onion, spices) sparingly to avoid overmixing.
4. Cook with steady heat: Preheat grill or skillet, flip once, and avoid pressing.
5. Rest and build: Let patties rest briefly, then add toppings on a toasted bun.

You’ll find fresh, frozen, poultry, and plant-based patties, plus buns, all available for pickup or delivery.

“5-6-7” gets mentioned online, but there isn’t a universal burger rule behind those numbers.

• Timing varies: Thickness, fat ratio (e.g., 80/20 vs 93/7), and fresh vs. frozen all change cook times.
• Follow the package: Many patties include specific directions; some poultry patties are fully cooked and just need heating, while raw beef needs thorough cooking.
• Use visual cues: Look for good browning, less surface moisture, and the texture you prefer.
• Keep it simple: Even seasoning and consistent heat usually yield reliable results.

Consider testing one patty first and adjusting heat or time for the rest. Results can vary by equipment and patty style.

Burgers keep evolving, and shoppers are leaning into choice and convenience.

• Smash-style patties for crispy edges and quick cook times.
• Premium beef blends like Angus and Wagyu for rich flavor.
• Plant-based options that cook up fast and fit different diets.
• Poultry burgers, including turkey and chicken, plus seasoned varieties (like cheddar-and-bacon or spicy styles).
• Sliders and heat-and-eat sandwiches for quick meals and parties.

You can mix and match buns, sauces, and toppings to fit the trend you’re trying, and use pickup or delivery to keep hosting easy.

The fat ratio influences flavor, juiciness, and how forgiving the patty is on the grill.

• 75/25–80/20: Rich and juicy, helpful for high-heat grilling and smash styles.
• 85/15: A balanced everyday pick with moderate richness.
• 90/10–93/7: Leaner, with a firmer bite; gentler heat and added toppings or sauces can help with moisture.

Fresh patties are convenient for same-day cooking, while frozen packs are handy for stocking up. The “best” ratio comes down to taste and cooking method, so trying a small pack first can help you dial in what you like.

Many frozen patties are designed to go straight from freezer to grill or skillet.

1. Check the package: Directions vary by patty type; some are raw, others fully cooked and just need heating.
2. Preheat: Get your grill or pan hot so the surface sears instead of steams.
3. Cook from frozen: Place patties in a single layer; avoid pressing to help retain juices.
4. Flip a few times: Turning periodically can promote even browning on both sides.
5. Finish and rest: Cook until done per the package guidance, then rest briefly before serving on a toasted bun.

Keeping frozen patties on hand can simplify weeknights, and you can order for pickup or delivery whenever you’re running low.
