Perfect Burgers

To measure beef for a burger, “use a simple 1 cup measure. Fill the cup until you can fit one finger width in the cup on top of the beef—nearly a cup of beef makes a 1/3-pound patty. Then you can use your measuring cup to help press a neat, thin, round patty that’s about the width of that same finger.”

Josh Buchsbaum is managing partner of 300 Burger (300burger.com), open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
