3The Cook

    • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

    • Place your patties on the grate and cook them for 3 to 5 minutes per side until an internal temperature of 160°F is reached.

    • Lightly toast your buns by placing them over direct heat with the grill lid open. Cook them for 30 seconds or until the face is light brown and toasted.

    • Top each of your toasted buns with a burger and slaw then serve.
