  1. If you want to check the flavour of the mince mixture before forming it into burgers, break off a small chunk and fry until cooked, then taste and adjust the seasoning.

  2. You can freeze the uncooked burgers, wrapped in cling film, for 1 month. Defrost to cook.

  3. Camembert is lower in fat than cheddar but it still delivers a strong cheesy hit.

    Steam-frying burgers requires just a little oil. The steam keeps the burgers juicy and tender.
