How long to cook burger patty

Two things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 7:00

How thick is the patty?

How do you want it?

How to tell without a timer

Rest it a minute, and check 71°C / 160°F at the centre. Cheese goes on now if it is going on.

Grinding mixes the surface through the patty, so a rare burger carries risk a rare steak does not. Worth it only with meat you trust, ground the same day.

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
