Beef Burger Patty FAQ
A beef burger patty is a versatile ingredient that can be customized according to personal tastes and preferences. When cooking a beef burger patty, people often make the mistake of over handling the ground beef during formation which can lead to a dense, rubbery, and chewy texture. Light handling and a delicate touch can make for a juicy and tender patty. A high fat to lean meat ratio is also key in achieving a flavorful and tender burger - notably an 80-20 mix. Additionally, it's important not to add salt until just before cooking the patties as prematurely salting can change the texture of the beef and result in a tougher patty. A good trick to ensure even cooking and prevent the patty from puffing up in the center during cooking, make a dimple or depression in the center of each patty before grilling.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does beef burger patty expire?
An unopened package of beef burger patties from the store will generally stay good in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days past the printed sell-by date. Once it's been opened, it's best to use the patties within 1 to 2 days. If you happen to buy frozen patties, they can be stored in the freezer for up to 4 months. If you have a homemade beef burger patty, you should use it within 1 to 2 days if refrigerated or up to 4 months if frozen.
How do you tell if beef burger patty is bad?
How to know if your beef burger patty has gone bad can be a bit tricky, but there are a few telling signs. First, look at the color. If there are gray or brown areas, it's time to toss it. The smell is another big giveaway. If it has a sour or off-putting scent, it's not safe to eat. Lastly, if there is any sign of mold or slimy texture, that's a clear sign it's gone bad.
Tips for storing beef burger patty to extend shelf life
• Always refrigerate or freeze beef patties immediately after purchase. • Store beef patties in a meat-specific drawer or at the bottom of your fridge to prevent juices from contaminating other foods. • If freezing, wrap each patty individually in a plastic wrap before putting them in a freezer-safe bag for the best quality. • Defrost by moving the patties from the freezer to the fridge a day before you plan to use them. This is the safest and most effective way to thaw them. • Marinated patties can be stored in the refrigerator, but need to used within 24-48 hours to ensure their freshness.
