Classic Ultimate Hamburgers
To prevent burgers from falling apart, turn them only once, and for heaven's sake don't press on a burger with a spatula. All you're doing is pushing all the juice out of the burger. Another trick to getting an evenly cooked burger is to put a depression in the center of each patty before you put it on the grill.
