Took me 3 weeks to figure out why my burger patties kept falling apart on the grill
Turned out my grind was too coarse and I wasnt chilling the meat long enough before forming. 20 minutes in the freezer before pressing fixed it, has anyone else run into this?

Been there, my friend. Spent a whole summer blaming my patties falling apart on cheap beef and a bad recipe before I figured out it was the grind all along. Once I started running the meat through the fine plate and giving it that chill time in the freezer, everything changed. The fat needs to stay cold so it does not smear and turn mushy, which is what makes the patties crumble. Also learned not to overwork the meat when forming, just press it gentle and let it be. Three weeks is nothing, I think it took me two summers to crack the code.
