Tomato — 33 burger recipes

produce · 33 recipes

Tomato is in 25 recipes and is the ingredient most often blamed for a soggy burger. A thick slice carries a lot of water, and cut surfaces release it steadily under heat, so where it sits in the stack matters: above the lettuce and below the top bun, the leaf takes the moisture instead of the bread. Salting slices and resting them for a few minutes draws water out first. Out of season, a supermarket tomato adds almost nothing but wetness, and several recipes here leave it out entirely.
