I've made bacon on my stoneware but someone this week at a show said they cook hamburgers on their stoneware.

Does anyone do that and know what temp/length of time for about medium-well?

I don't make hamburgers in the winter because it is currently zero out and I'm not grilling...I don't eat them when they are cooked on the stove - yuk...

...but, I'm willing to try the oven...

Anyone do this?
 
I do mine in the grill pan on top the stove. They come out pretty good, with the grill lines and everything.

...don't have a grill pan yet... :( But I'll keep that in mind!!!!
 
My husband makes great tasting Hamburgers of the large bar pan in the oven.

After I started with the PC it took my husband a while to understand everything about the stoneware but now HE LOVES ALL of IT

When ever I have a chance to order something - when a host it close to the next level, I will get an order or two from family and friends add it to the host order and then I will spend the free stuff on me. My husband wants different stones

I use the grill press with the grill pan for hamburgers and steaks. They cook faster and the press stops the splatter.
 
350 and just depends on how big they are

Beth - be careful with the grill press on hamburgers. Since the meat has been ground, it is easier to lose moisture, and the press will speed that up.
 
Kate...you are right about the press. At the restaurant I have one cook who has a tendency to put that press on the burger and leave it to long. It comes out dry and overcooked. She wants them to cook faster. But, it will work as long as you watch them.

Well, made them last night - 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. Better than on the stove top and better than the George Foreman grill but doesn't beat the REAL grill!
 
I hate to go out side and grill when it is too hot or too cold... so I started putting the patties on the large bar pan and i bake them at 450 for about 30 minutes. No splattering and easy clean up

I do this too. And love them like this. So far, I have not had a problem with them being dry.

Wow, either my oven is super efficient or yours are well done. There was no pink in mine and I only cooked them for 20 minutes...
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to prepare stoneware for cooking hamburgers?

Before using your stoneware for the first time, wash it with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry. To season your stoneware, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil and bake it at 350°F for about an hour. This helps create a non-stick surface and enhances the flavor of your hamburgers.

How do I prevent hamburgers from sticking to the stoneware?

To prevent sticking, ensure your stoneware is well-seasoned. Additionally, you can lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil before placing the hamburgers on it. This will help create a barrier and make it easier to remove the burgers after cooking.

What temperature should I cook hamburgers in stoneware?

For optimal results, preheat your oven to 375°F. This temperature allows the hamburgers to cook evenly, ensuring they are juicy on the inside while achieving a nice crust on the outside. Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the patties, so check for doneness with a meat thermometer.

How long should I cook hamburgers in stoneware?

Cooking times can vary depending on the thickness of your hamburgers. Generally, cook them for about 20-25 minutes at 375°F for medium doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 160°F for safe consumption.

Can I use frozen hamburgers in stoneware, and if so, how does it affect cooking time?

Yes, you can use frozen hamburgers in stoneware. However, you will need to increase the cooking time by about 5-10 minutes. Make sure to check the internal temperature to ensure they reach 160°F for safety. It's best to avoid cooking from frozen if possible, as fresh patties will yield better flavor and texture.
