Got a quick question, I cooked burgers for 40 people this past weekend. How do you hold the finished product while it is in the chaffing pan without the burgers drying out ?? I have heard that some people use 7-Up in the pan... Thoughts ??
 
Use beef broth diluted with water or au jus. Works great. They stay nice and juicy and the flavor added is pretty good to.
 
Warm buns...

(How's that for a softball for Bubba and his blackberry?)
 
If you cook them rare and put them in a perforated pan over steam (chafing tray or steam table) they will come out perfect. We add liquid smoke and broth to the steam source-so both flavors get steamed into the burgers. When we vend we often cook burgers----it is better to be about 10 burgers ahead than 10 burgers behind. Just do not add cheese to burgers in the steam tray---it melts and runs everywhere.
