I tried making the burgers for the first time and they were disgusting but it wasnt the calcium powder - it was the very lean ground beef I used, these burgers were truly awful lol. I really think you want atleast 20% fat ratio in there for a good burger. Also there may be something to be said for packing the burger too tight, you dont want to beat the meat up so to speak, according to youtube chefs :)
After your burger is prepared do you fry them in a pan on the stove?
The burgers are such a great idea for those on a budget, I just need to learn to cook properly. I think its a game changer for me if I can learn to make them. Im squuemish with gelatin and with powdered supplements so this is something Im really going to experiment with.
The burgers + Fries in HCO + coke is a super cheap, super tasty way to boost calcium, get gelatin and nutrients. Its like the perfect diet for me taste and budget wise. Only downside is starch in potatoes.
I have tried fried in butter or coconut oil, grilled in the stove with some cheese in top of them, and grilled too. All of those seem to work well, provided (like you said) the meat is not too lean and has some fat to allow the burger to stay together and not look/taste like charred slab of meat.
