There's nothing quite like the taste of a juicy, homemade burger that's cooked on a barbecue. You can adjust the flavour to your liking by adding herbs, spices or your own secret ingredients. On Chris' food blog - Yorkshire Pudd - he opts for a classic beef pattie. Served in a toasted brioche bun with a good strong cheddar, iceburg lettuce, 2 rashes of streaky bacon, a slice of beef tomato, quality mayonnaise and burger sauce.

Classic Burger Recipe

Ingredients:
600g Beef brisket
400g Beef blade
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:
1) Grind brisket and beef blade using the KuKoo meat grinder using the medium blade. In a bowl combine mince, with a good pinch of salt and pepper and mix well.

2) Shape into burgers, ensuring they are compacted so they hold their shape. Pop in the fridge and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

3) Get your barbecue to optimum temperature or pre-heat your frying pan and add the meat. Allow to brown on ether side and ensure it is cooked in the middle.

Follow our top 6 tips for perfect burgers every time

1. Choose your meat

Your burger should remain juicy so avoid going too lean otherwise you will lose some of the taste!

2. Flavours & Seasoning

Add fresh or dried herbs and spices to bring your burger to life. A classic hamburger is great with the addition of dijon mustard to boost the taste. For Spanish flavours add chorizo and smoked paprika to pork mince... Divine! If you feel like been super-fancy then fill your burger with a melt-in-the-middle pocket of cheese - we love the flavours of lamb and feta or beef with blue cheese. Don't forget to season your burger - always season with salt afterwards otherwise you'll draw out the moisture during mixing.

3. Bind It

If you're using a leaner meat or adding onions or chillies to your mix then add a handful of breadcrumbs and a beaten egg to combine the burger together.

4. Chill Out Time

Once you've shaped the burgers, give them time to chill out in the fridge - doing this will help them keep their shape during cooking.

5. Let's get cooking!

Now the tough decision - to BBQ, grill or fry? Ensure your burger is cooked thoroughly (you can always use a meat thermometer if you're unsure). Cook for 5-6 minutes each side for medium and for well done 8-9 minutes either side.

6. Eat it!

Now enjoy... Don't forget to add your gherkins (love them, or hate them), juicy tomato and a squeeze of sauce.... We're drooling over here!

So we’ve got you covered with our top 5 meals, all of which can be cooked up in the KuKoo Multipan - whether it's just for one or a cosy couples dinner.

Mexican Fajita Feast

• Sliced Chicken Breast – rub with oil and dry fajita season
• Slices Sirloin Steak – remove excess fat, rub with oil and dry fajita seasoning
• Chorizo Sausage – Sliced into thick discs
• Sliced Peppers & Mushrooms
• Red Onion & Coriander – finely chopped

Warm your tortilla wraps in the microwave then serve with guacamole and salsa, deeelish!

Classic Spag Bol

• Spaghetti & Boiling Water
• Beef Mince
• Finely Chopped Carrot, Celery & Onion
• Bolognese Sauce - homemade or from a jar
• Sliced Mushrooms

When the meat and veg is cooked mix into the sauce, then use a spaghetti spoon to remove the pasta and place into a colander to drain. Serve the pasta in a bowl and top with the Bolognese. For extra tastiness grate some cheese on top, yummy!

Naughty Bacon Double Cheeseburgers

• Beef Burgers - when they're cooked to your liking, place sliced cheese on top
• Bacon - lots of bacon
• Sliced Red Onion
• Burger Bun - slice in half & add to the pan right before serving for a crispy toasted bun

Spread ketchup inside the burger bun before layering everything up. You can add a bit of a kick with chilli sauce too or try squeeze in one of your five-a-day with slices of fresh tomato and lettuce.

Stay Healthy Salmon & Veg

• Salmon - fillets work best & cook in about 7 minutes
• Sliced Peppers – red, yellow, orange or green
• Cherry Tomatoes
• Sliced Aubergine
• Spinach

To bump up the flavour factor, stir a teaspoon of pesto into the peppers and cherry tomatoes. Then add a squeeze of lemon juice onto the salmon and a knob of butter to the spinach before serving.

A Hearty Cooked Breakfast

• Eggs - scrambled, fried or mini omelettes
• Sausages, Bacon & Black Pudding
• Mushrooms & Tomatoes
• Baked Beans - a 200g tin fits in that top right corner, whilst a full 400g tin fits in the bottom right

If you're not a fan of the healthy stuff substitute the veg for a few hash browns. Or if you've got a sweet tooth, trade the eggs for pancakes, the meat for fruit kebabs, veg for berries and melted chocolate instead of beans.
