Can you guess what this is?
I told you before that I experimented with the idea of soft-packing a burger patty to get a juicier result, but after doing only one such patty, which turned out crumbly, I decided to make the rest of my burgers my way. I still had that one fragile patty, though, and it totally fell apart inside the Ziploc bag, so how does one go about fixing a wrecked patty? I used a crab-cake-style solution: I got out an egg and some panko bread, then mixed the crumbled beef into that to create a meat-loafy patty. And that's what you see above. How did it taste, though? As you might imagine, the egg made it a bit eggy, and the panko didn't enhance the flavor much, but overall, the patty had a good chew, and the beefy taste dominated. I won't be making such patties regularly (unless I want a breakfast burger or something), but this was, overall, a good solution to a serious engineering/architectural problem. It looked weird, but it tasted fine.
To the extent that I can taste anything. Still at about 10%.
