Thanks Nancy, and you would be right to assume I started doing it that
way before the steam basket method came to me later on. A traditional
"maid-rite" copykat is to do exactly what you describe, and than add
beef broth back into the mix once the burger is cooked and broken up to
re-moisten (the steam factor I think). That would also allow for the
steaming of the rolls or buns.
