From Alton Brown's show, the All American Greats video. Round and sirloin are lean, while chuck, pork, and lamb have more fat. To save for a few days, wrap in parchment/butcher paper. Chill meat chunks before grinding/processing. Only put salt on the meat. Put other flavors on the bun. To form patty, put into a ball by throwing back and forth, then form into disk. When heating skillet, a good temp is when water sizzles. If it doesn't, it's too cold. If it skips off the skillet, it's too hot. Don't smash patties on the griddle - it squeezes out all the juice. Let the hamburger rest before eating. Toast bun. Add mayo and pepper.
