DIRECTIONS
Insert grill grate in
unit and close hood.
Select GRILL, set
temperature to
HIGH, and set time
to 8 minutes for
medium-cooked burgers.
Select START/STOP
to begin preheating.
While unit is preheating,
divide the ground beef
into 4 portions and
hand-form each into
a loosely formed
4-inch patty.
With your thumb,
make a 1-inch indent
in the center of each
patty (this will help
the burgers keep their
shapes uniform during
cooking). Season
patties with salt and
pepper, as desired.
When the unit beeps to
signify it has preheated,
place patties on the
grill grate, gently
pressing them down to
maximize grill marks.
Close hood and cook
for 6 minutes.
After 6 minutes, place
a slice of cheese on
each patty. Close hood
and continue cooking
for 1 minute.
After 1 minute, remove
cheeseburgers from
grill grate. Place the
buns on the grill grate.
Close hood and cook
for the remaining
1 minute.
When cooking is
complete, serve
cheeseburgers on
the toasted buns.
