Oil your grill grates- Avoid mangling your burgers by starting with clean, oiled grates. You can oil them by spraying with cooking spray (BEFORE lighting the grill).
Preheat your grill to medium high heat (About 450 degrees). If you’re using a charcoal grill, arrange the coals so you’ll have one high heat zone for cooking and one low heat zone, so you can move the burgers if there are flare ups.
