i usually just flip them once and dont press down on them...

it bothers me when people flip them 10+ times...

how many times do you flip your burgers?

3-4. i try to do steaks w/ just one flip but i'm fussy with burgers for some reason. i like them cooked through but not too dry.

1. put on grill
2. flip once after 6 minutes
3. remove from grill after 6 more minutes

let stand for about 5 minutes.

Well.. on a foreman it's different, since both sides heat.... But on a regular grill, I'll cook, flip, cook, flip, cheese. Helps make sure it melts... nothing worse than a thick slab of half-melted lukewarm cheese on your burger.

YUP, it irritates me when people grilling flip stuff 10x's, just leave it the fvck alone. I usually sneak in and end up take over the cooking duties.

I only flip once, but i do give it the occasional squeeze if the burgers are too greasy for my tastes.

Throw it on and cook til you see the blood/juices starting to bead up on it, then flip it once. Depending on the size you can give it a few minutes, then flip it back and cheese it.

As many as it takes.

Edit-Usually 3 or 4 flips...just to make sure they don't get too crispy. I never squeeze them though.
 

3 minutes, rotate 45 degrees, 3 minutes, flip, 3 minutes rotate 45 degrees and add cheese cube, 3 minutes, remove DIRECTLY TO BUN
don't put them fricken burgers on a plate

only suppose to flip them once, dont press down the the burgers it just releases all the juices out. Cook at high heat and dont mess around with them.

You flip it as much as it needs to be flipped, no more, no less, if you don't know when to flip a burger, turn in your man card right now. :p

2 flips, cook one side, flip ONCE cook the other.. then when burger is done i flip it over to the first side for a few seconds just for the heat and that's it
