How can you stop the grease from splattering when cooking hamburgers?
1. Use a large skillet. This will give the grease more room to spread out and reduce splattering.
2. Use a splatter screen. This is a metal mesh screen that you place over the skillet to catch grease splatters.
3. Turn the heat down. Cooking hamburgers over high heat will cause the grease to splatter more.
4. Don't crowd the skillet. If you put too many hamburgers in the skillet at once, the grease will have nowhere to go and will splatter more.
5. Blot the hamburgers before cooking. This will remove excess moisture from the hamburgers, which will help to reduce splattering.
6. Don't flip the hamburgers too often. Flipping the burgers too frequently can cause the grease to splatter more.
7. Add cooking oil to the pan. This way, the grease will slide off the meat instead of popping and sizzling as it evaporates.
8. Use a meat press to flatten the burgers before cooking. This can help to reduce the surface area of the meat, which in turn will reduce the amount of grease that spatters.
9. Cook the hamburgers in the oven instead of on the stovetop. This can help to reduce the amount of grease that splatters since there is no direct heat source.
