BEGINNER RECIPE
DIRECTIONS
1 Place the plancha on the unit. Turn the dial to set
temperature to 190°C. Set an external timer to 7
minutes and allow the plancha to preheat.
2 In a large bowl, add the minced beef, salt, pepper,
garlic powder, and onion powder and mix until
evenly combined.
3 Separate minced beef into 4 equal portions.
Working one portion at a time, shape the beef
into flat, thin patties, approximately 13cm wide
and ½cm thick.
4 When unit is preheated, add the burgers to the
plancha. Firmly press each burger down for
5 seconds.
5 Let the burgers cook undisturbed for 4 minutes,
then flip and press them down for 5 seconds.
Cook for an additional 4 minutes (if a more well-
done burger is desired, cook for an additional
2 to 3 minutes). Place 2 slices of cheese on each
burger, then close the lid and let the cheese melt
for 3 minutes. When cheese is melted, transfer
burgers to a plate.
6 Place the vegetable oil and onions on the plancha
and sauté for 4 minutes.
7 When onions are cooked, transfer to a
plate. Add buns to the plancha cut-side down
and let cook for 1 minute. Once the buns are
browned, remove from plancha. Place the
burgers in the buns. Top with onions and
any desired condiments.
TIP For a vegan-friendly burger, swap in your preferred
plant-based minced meat and cook as instructed.
