grill-less burgers

so i've been giving DH daily coupons for vday....tuesday's coupon was for a homecooked meal of his choice.

this morning he texted from work saying he wants to cash in for dinner tonight and that he wants burgers....

we live in a 1bedroom is jersey city so needless to say we don't have a grill. how would you guys go about making burgers without one???

for my top chef girls - i dont wanna follow in fabio's footsteps with minimeatloafs.

help! please! can this be done?

Re: grill-less burgers

Do you have a grill pan?

Even if you don't, you can make the burgers in a skillet, or I've used a heavy cast iron pot/pan. Works pretty well.

Re: grill-less burgers

frying pan? skillet?

Re: grill-less burgers

i do have a grill pan that DH got me from williams sonoma but everytime i use it i set the fire alarm off so i'm like scared of it. i think its the type of metal that its made out of...???

i think i'm gonna with a skillet....think they'll come out okay?

Re: grill-less burgers

Yeah i think they'll be great! You can even doctor them up a bit, put some jalepenos in the meat and/or cheese and make an inside out burger! MMmmmMmmmm

Re: grill-less burgers

Go get yourself a George Foreman grill It's the best thing to have in the winter or in an apt.

As for tonight, yes, you can make them in a skillet, or on a griddle pan. Or you can use a broiler pan and broil them in the oven.

Re: grill-less burgers

I always put them in the broiler. My mom always fried them in a skillet

Re: grill-less burgers

I do them in the broiler

Rachel Ray is the queen of grill less burgers, and she does them all on a cast iron skillet type thingie.

Re: grill-less burgers
