How to cook?

[Anonymous No.14573503]

I'm sifting through piles and piles of shit with search engines. I need some help. I don't need to know how to season shit. I just want to know

How do I cook ground beef on a cookie sheet in the oven?

1. I guess patties are easy enough but how round and how thick?

2. What heat?

3. How long?

I've never cooked GB in the oven. Fuck off, troll.

just look up oven baked meatballs and go from there and make up the rest of it

Don't Google. YouTube. Watch people do it. Don't go for some fancy cooking channel either. Just a regular fat black lady in her kitchen will do.

Also this if you're that concerned.

Why would you want to do that

[Anonymous No.14573592]

>>14573541
Yeah, let me go all the way out to the store and buy a thermometer that I will use to easily cook GB tonight. I'm not sifting through more search engine bullshit. I don't need to know favorite recipes and all that crap. I don't need a thermometer or temps, Anon. All I need is the time/thickness. It's pretty basic. I just want to pop it in the oven and basically be done with it.

Or is food/cooking full of poseurs like all the other 4chan boards?

Learning to cook is trial and error. Watch people season their food (I grew up watching my mother). Try to mimick their seasoning on your own, if the food is too salty make a note to use less next time. Over time you'll be able to guess quite accurately how much seasoning you need for stuff just by knowing how this stuff tastes.

Same goes for following some basic recipes and just seeing how it goes. Maybe you've made the burgers too thick or big the first time, make note to make them smaller next time. Just keep practicing and tweaking things. I've been cooking since I was a child (helping mother to start, then taking over family dinner time) and even then when I'm learning to cook with something I've not used before I don't always get it right the first time, I just think about how the food turned out and how I would've liked it turn out.

Thanks. I'll check on this.

>>14573584
No offense but I just wanted something easy. Like, for other meat slices it's 375 per 1/2 inch. Let cook 8 minutes. Flip. 8 more minutes. Just as an example.

Easy peasy, see?

Nobody fucking measures ground beef by thickness. You want to cook it to the right level of doneness? Get a thermometer. It is a fundamental cooking apparatus any time you're cooking meat

[Anonymous No.14573636]

>>14573615
Guise! Guise! Plz. I appreciate it but all I need is what thickness for the patty and the temp/time to cook it. I'm looking at the oven because it's pretty easy and I don't have to baby sit it. I can cook many at a time. Etc.

Sorry. This is a no frills sorta thing.

I didn't realise you were asking for advice on that one thing, I thought you wanted general advice and were using that as an example! I don't do ground beef patties so you're on your own bud.

How fucking retarded are you? I have autism, I've been in care for most of my life, and even I could figure out to just to find some patty recipe or some shit. You're literally more retarded than a care autist. Feel ashamed.

Yeah but how wide? I'm missing about 8 more pounds of ground beef.

[Anonymous No.14573674]

>>14573668
Oh, I thought you knew. Ground beef is always shaped in to patties 3/8 of a league wide across all recipes.

I found it. 1 inch meatballs at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes and an internal temp of 160. Since I lack a thermometer I'll just leave it in for 15 for sure and maybe another minute or two. I'll check to make sure there is no pink inside since it is ground beef.

Thanks for the help everyone!

OP, if you want to make oven burgers, I guess you can, but no one does that. No one unless your only oven is like a toaster oven.
I'd put in some minced onions, chopped bacon, maybe some seasonings, just a bit or right up into full meatloaf style patties, to prevent them from drying out too much. We're gonna broil them, not bake them. This is best.

Now that's it said..
1) take cold meat out of fridge, season it or not, how you wish with mix-ins or be a purist, pat out into patties at or around 1/2 inch think. You can go thinner when cooking some other method, but 1/2 think is perfect for the oven. This is when someone like worchestershire will soak in. Rest it 10 minutes to take the fridge chill out of it now.
2) get a broiler pan or jellyroll pan or any pan or dish with sides out. Do not rub any oil on it, but you could line the pan in foil for cleanup ease later. Important, do not use a flat cookie sheet with no sidewalls, if it's perfectly flat, juices will roll off and possibly smoke or catch fire in the bottom of your oven.
3) Position an oven rack about 4 inches from the top, but no less than that for better control, so, maybe the 2nd or 3rd rack position down.
4) Now, turn on your broiler element. This cooks food from the top of the oven.
5) Oil your patties with a few drops of oil and your fingertips on the top and bottom. Lay your patties down on pan a few inches apart. And, pop under the broiler.
6) Do not walk away. Do not leave the kitchen. Do not get distracted. Feel free to crack the oven door a couple of inches, and watch it cook even. About 4-5 minutes in, pull out, and if the top is nicely browned, flip them, broil the other side. Try to flip them too early or make them too thin, they can fall apart. After 2nd side cooked, flip again and think about a glaze and another minute in the oven. Glaze with BBQ, chili sauce, hoisin, anything really, even jalapeno jam. You can press a sliced onion into one side.

Saved. Thanks. But I'm lacking in material currently. Since I don't have sidewall dishes what do you think about using foil?

>>14573700
Oh? How's that? Anon makes joke. I make joke too. You go ree.

You have no oven pans with sides?

[Anonymous No.14573761]

>>14573734
No baking dishes? Ovens come with a 2pc broiler pan?
Fold up sides. Turn the foil into a boat. You don't want juices to run off.

>>14573761
Yeah, no dishes :(

I also have a skillet but no spatula. Even if I did, I think doing all the meat at once in the oven would save me from spending a while over the oven.

> I guess patties are easy enough but how round and how thick?

Medium roundness. 1/2" thick. 3/8" thick if you prefer inferior well done patties.

>What heat?
Broiler setting, high, oven rack in the second or third slot from the top.
They will ooze their delicious grease, so use a cookie pan with edges all around to collect the delicious natural grease. Or a broiler pan.

>How long?
Turn on broiler, wait 90 seconds for preheat.
Cookie pan in.
4 minutes.
Cookie pan out.
Flip patties.
Cookie pan in.
4 minutes.
Cookie pan out, broiler off.
Wait between 4 and 8 minutes between pulling them out and biting into them. No more, no less. If burgering, this time can be spent putting the patties on the buns and carrying them to the table.
If you're going for crumbly beef for smoothies, you can separate from the grease immediately, or place in the fridge so the delicious healthy grease congeals with the beef crumbles.
