TIPS Spray your burgers with oil before barbecuing. Preheat the BBQ and cook the burgers on a moderately high heat for the first few minutes. Then, lower the heat so they can cook through properly. Turn the burgers once during cooking. Burgers are ready to eat when the juices that ooze out are clear, not pinkish. A large burger will take about 6-7 minutes on each side to cook through. Smaller kid-sized portions will take about 4 minutes each side. Make sure the burgers are cooked thoroughly before serving.
