two zone fire<\/a> on your grill for more evenly grilled meat. See, one issue that you want to avoid at all costs is flare ups. This is when the flames leap higher than the grill grates, burning your food and potentially you! To make it safe to grill, use the two zone method.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWith a gas grill, this is a pretty straightforward process. You turn the heat on one side up and down on the other – it is as easy as that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A charcoal grill requires a little bit more effort. Once the coals are lit and glowing, use tongs or some other tool to move all the coals onto one side of the cooking grates. The other side should have no or only few coals under it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the best way to grill frozen burgers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prep the Burger Patties<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the grill is heating up, it is time to prep the frozen meat patties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remove them from the freezer and separate them, removing the paper separators between each patty. If you are going to thaw the burgers, do so now using your desired method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are going to grill frozen burgers straight up, season them instead. You can choose your seasoning – salt and pepper is fine or your can get creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In case you defrosting the burgers first, add seasoning once they are thawed. Once seasoned, it is time to grill the burger patties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grill the Burgers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Brush the grill grate with some oil so that the burger patties don’t get stuck to the grill. Then, place the patties on the grill – make sure that they are on the side with the indirect heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close the lid and let the burgers cook for about two minutes. Then, open the lid and flip them over. Shut the lid and let the burgers grill for another two minutes. Continue flipping them for up to 10 minutes at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are grilling frozen burgers, then I would press the burgers lightly with your tongs to see if they have softened up. Don’t let any of those delicious juices escape, though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At this point, I would check the internal temperature to see if they need to be cooked further. If they are done, move the burgers over to the side with the direct heat. This will give you nice grill marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would also advise you to the grill the burger buns until they are browned. This isn’t a necessary step, but hamburger buns do taste nicer when they are toasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
