anyone do custom meat grinds at home?
Dry aged/ wet aged combo's ?
Well,you really should
There must be "pink" or its just over cooked gray matter"hamburger"
I often grind my own chuck.
Once ground the onliest thangs that touch the meat are an ice cream scoop, a hotass cast iron pan, and a steel spatula.
I respectfully disagree about lack of color as a fail factor when cooking burgers.
I am inclined to say you are correct when it comes to flame grilled or broiled burgers.
Flat top griddle or cast iron and smash technique burger is the sheeit.
Hear me now, 'bleed me later...but no seriously.
You have to try it for yourself.
Looky here through this threads pages and you'll have an idee what I mean.
As per aged beef I'm not completely sold.
The flavor profile is different and more mineral and earthy which is ideal for steaks but when I done it
grinding dry aged ribeye (6 weeks, and cost me about $30 bucks for that steak) I didna' reckon that the difference
in age and cut was enough to justify the price.
I prefer just regular ole' chuck at a little plus or minus 80/20, and even that ratio is not set in stone for me.
I've smashed burgers with store bought ground beef that was 90/10 and had great results.
In the end, I just love a dadgum hamburger.
This is a great place to be.
Posty your burger all up in here!
