To avoid soggy hamburger buns, celebrity chef Sunny Anderson suggests placing and melting your cheese on the bottom bun, beneath the burger patty, rather than on top of it.

Ground beef leaks its juices both during and after it cooks, and the bread absorbs them and becomes soggy. The cheese, however, creates a barrier between the meat and the bun.

the most important to protect.
