Before you dive in, here are some tips to ensure your cheeseburger journey is a success:

When grilling or pan-frying your burger, preheat your grill or pan to a high heat, and oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
For firmer cheeses such as American, cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella, thinly slice or grate them. On the other hand, softer cheeses like gorgonzola, blue, or Feta should be crumbled.
To prevent overworking the meat, gently form the patties and avoid pressing down on them during cooking. Overworking the meat can result in a dense, less flavourful burger.
Add the cheese during the last minute or 90 seconds of cooking to prevent overcooking.
When cooking the burger, ensure the heat isn't too high to prevent the outside from cooking before the centre.
Letting the meat chill in the fridge for about 20 minutes before cooking helps it hold together and cook evenly.
It's not necessary to flip the burger multiple times while cooking; once is enough.
A dimple in the centre of the burger helps prevent it from shrinking or puffing up during cooking.
The burger is ready to flip when it easily comes off the grate or pan. Cooking times can be found in the "How Long to Grill..." guide.
