Couldn't find any chuck grin

John, thanks for making me aware of A Hamburger Today! What a great site!

The on-topic "Burger Lab" and ultimate slider recipe are slightly different links than the one you posted, but I expect also already familiar to you. I don't see him using a pan lid at all, but crowding the pan with the patties and buns.

My wife observed that she thinks this Kenji is now part of the America's Test Kitchens/Cooks Illustrated crew.

I LOVE recipes like this (and a lot of the Alton Brown material) where the process is unexpected.

John, thank you so much for sharing your experience on this! I know what we're having for dinner smile
