Enjoy Better Cheeseburgers With Gordon Ramsay's Simple Advice

Delicious cheeseburgers are pretty basic and easy to make, but you can give it a further flavor boost with Gordon Ramsay's simple technique of premelting the cheese in a pan.
The celebrity chef demonstrated in a YouTube video that premelting the cheese helps it become caramelized, adding more flavor to your favorite cheeseburger recipe.
Additionally, you wind up with extra textural contrast, as you have that standard gooey quality and some crispy, bubbly bits that result from contact with direct heat.
You can start by placing a slice of cheese in your skillet with a little salt. Next, Ramsay likes to take the base of the bun and place it cut side down onto the melting slice.
With a little flourish, the chef then moves the bread in a circular motion, helping to "mop up" the cheese. This fully coats the bread in the perfectly caramelized, melted dairy.
