Wow the level of rage on here is terrible. Ok they made a mistake at least they are trying and learning.

OP glad you made a home cooked meal, take some pride in that.

Something had to die for that.

Those patties look somewhere between steamed and boiled.

Steamed hams

This gotta be rage bait 😭😂

I have questions. Were those baked in the oven or did you cook them on a baking sheet on the stovetop? Neither one is the correct way to make burgers.

If oven - just no, stop that.

If stove top - buy a cast iron pan .

Edit I didn't see the handle. Yes it is a cast iron pan. Which means it's being cooked on far to low of heat.

Edit 2. Op updated and said it was covered in tinfoil. Which explains everything. Don't reverse sear burgers. I don't think op Intemded for this to happen but low heat allows all the moisture to escape combined with a cover you just made the effect worse. They are going to be dry and flavorless. All the flavor is now floating in that pan. Instead of being locked in.

Those look terrible and they are just swimming in fat.

My god man

Good lord man at least put an NSFW tag

OP I’m sorry if you’re getting hate, but I think you over loaded that pan and your burgers steamed.

If you like them that way it’s all good, but cooking half the burgers at once or a much higher heat would do them good. If you get a full sear from the very hot cast iron they’ll be excellent.

On a grill this works, but not on a flat top style griddle.

This triggers men. There is something about food that can be grilled that affects response amplitude.

Toast those buns in butter, brah

This post is going to haunt me. Like wtf this is an abomination to burgers

Proper burger cooking. High heat. Make sure the pan is hot. If burgers don't immediately start sizzling when added to pan it's not hot enough. 3-4 minutes a side. If burgers don't give freely, that side is still cooking . If you want it more well done. Lower heat after that and flip again 2 minutes a side.
