.Cooking Times for Burgers

Source of Recipe

From "Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes" by Bobby Flay


"To me, a perfect beef burger is pink and juicy in the middle and cooked somewhere between medium-rare and medium, which is an internal temperature of about 145� degrees (F). The USDA recommends cooking ground beef until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees (F) for safety reasons. Burgers destined for those who are very young or very old, pregnant, or have compromised immune systems should definitely be cooked until well done."
