Flip the burger just once in the pan. This method ensures even cooking and keeps the burger juicy. Start by cooking it over medium-high heat for around 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side or until it reaches your desired doneness. Flipping multiple times can release juices and make it dry.
