\n<\/u>It might be the weirdest idea that you\u2019ve ever heard of, but if you are firing up the barbecue this weekend, give it a shot. According to \u201cMasterChef\u201d judge Graham Elliot, you can make a perfect burger at home, and it\u2019s a lot easier than you might think. He says they key to grilling an excellent juicy hamburger is to put an ice cube in the middle of the patty, fold the meat around it, and then grill it.<\/p>\n\n
