retard here with little to no cooking skill, best i can do is eggs/rice
felt like getting meat today so i got pork to make burgers
i've got a stainless steel pot, put some oil in it and let it heat up
only put some mild spices in the meat and put them in the pot
took a while for them to cook since i might have accidentally made them too thick, but eventually the inner side looked etable
also put eggs on top of the burger, some green onion too, butter for the buns
it tastes alright and i don't think i poisoned myself in any way, but it still doesn't feel quite right, maybe because i used pork
advice?

burgers are usually ground beef and you put other stuff in the burger like eggs and breadcrumbs. Try cast iron for top tier burgers.

does the pan actually matter?

A cast iron skillet can be well preheated and can aid in forming the seared crust on the burger.
While many other pans probably work too, cast iron seems to be the easiest to use to get a nicely seared crust.
It's a simple matter of thermal capacitance and conductivity - how well does it hold the heat, how well does it transfer it to the food. For a burger, we are concerned with the thickness of the pan, more than the shape.

yes, cast iron is also good for other meats, you'll end up using it for everything but eggs. Fuck eggs. Some people say if you prepare the cast iron well enough eggs won't stick but I've never had that luck.

i can't for the life of me get them to not stick
i've tried doing tons of shit, letting it preheat before putting in the oil, leaving it on max temperature, lowering temperature, using butter instead/with the oil,
in the end all i can do is pray that my spatula can keep it in one piece and then scrape the leftovers off

to be honest I just try to not cook eggs as much, but I want to try getting a cheaper cast iron, sanding it down to a mirror finish, coating it with cold pressed flax seed oil and doing that a few times and maybe then it'll be perfect.

You have to compliment your good burger with some good deep-fried starches. You gotta have a good beverage to go with a good burger and deep-fried starches. How are you going to spice your bison/lamb/beef/chicken/ham/veggie/fish burger? And what are you gonna do about the sauce? How are you going to prepare the toppings that go on the burger, do you fry up your veggies like me or do you lay em out cold?

Alright here you go Anon, a pepper jack burger topped with thousand island and grilled onions served on a bed of funnel cake with a sugar glaze style frosting on the side to dip with.

whoever made that french fry power ranking is wrong and should feel bad. Steak fries and cottage fries are trash and arent even worth putting on that list.
also the top tier should be Arbys curley fries, tots, thin crispy seasoned fries

Burgers are made from plain ground beef and cooked on a grill. Add salt/pepper to your liking.
Anyone taking about mixing in breadcrumbs/eggs/onions/peppers is a faggot who has no idea what they're doing. Smash burgers in a cast iron skillet are acceptable if you're in an apartment and don't have a proper grill.

There's more than one way to skin a cat Anon, you add fillers to burgers to stretch the meat, not for flavor. I prefer my onions on the outside but to stretch meat add whatever binders and fillers you want. Oat meal flour is cheaper than more meat if you grind it yourself.
I like my burgers like you do, just meat, but please explain your reasoning instead of saying people are faggots. I like em cooked plain and topped with onions because I like to taste the meat.

Yes. Preground meat often isn't trimmed well, wasn't great meat before it was ground, etc.
Grinding your own lets you pick out good meats, mix them yourself to blend flavors, and of course benefit from less time sitting around letting microorganisms establish colonies throughout.
