However, when it comes to making the perfect cheeseburger you should not add any salt to the meat.
This may seem odd, but the salt will actually leach out the moisture of the beef. This is exactly what you do not want. When it comes to making the perfect cheeseburger, you want it to be moist and delicious. If you add salt, you are removing some of the moisture, which can cause the burger to become dried out. No one wants to eat a dry burger, so skip the salt when you are mixing up your patties.
