NOTES & TIPS
Making Burger Patties. Take special care to keep the patties the same size so that they cook at the same rate. The patties will puff up as they cook, so I make the raw patties very thin, about 5 inches in diameter. Thin patties are also better for loading your fixings without toppling over. They also don’t take as long to cook. If your patties are thicker than mine, add 2 minutes to the pressure cooking time.
Are they cooked all the way through? I don’t want to see any pink in the center of my hamburgers.
Yes. Follow the recipe’s instructions, using the correct weight (4 ounce patties) and size (5 inches in diameter) when shaping the raw meat patties. If you use larger patties, then your cooking time will need to increase.
