Maybe if you follow Sally's suggestion about cooking the burgers rare, and then putting them in the roaster, you will get a better result, but that depends on whether you're planning on serving them later. If you're planning on serving them right away during a short period of time, it's probably better to just cook them through and keep them warm in foil. Hi, Craig,

If it's too liquidy, my guess is that there might be too much sauce anyway. If you go this way, I think either scenario (just searing off or completely pre-cooking) would work out alright. It probably depends on your resources during grill-time. If you've got a big grill and can dedicate someone to cooking the burgers to order, I think that will get the best results. But if your time is limited or the grill is on the small side, it's probably better to cook your burgers close to done and just warm them as guests request them; otherwise they might spend a lot of time waiting for their burgers. Hope this helps! Howie Hi, Tom,

Do you this the semi pre cooked patties will absorb to much liquid and become soggy, or do you think that my best bet would be to pre cook sseason and put in the foil pan, upon guests arriving put again on the grill to finish cooking and add cheese? Please inform me of your thoughts. Best Regards, Tom Tamera,

During my visit there, I had expected to eat lots of fried chicken, yams, greens... and tons of peach cobbler. My last weekend there in the city, my sister and I had run across a popular chef in the city by the name of Eric "The Ace of Taste" Campbell. He gave my sister a recipe for this dish, and it was fantastic. For the remainder of my stay, there was no fried chicken, yams or greens... just lots of Keema, and, of course, peach cobbler! Someone please tell me, what is the origin of this dish? I have heard that it is Jamiacan; some say Indian? Which is it? Thank you, T. Simms San Francisco, CA.

We use roasters quite a bit to keep the food that has been grilled warm and "servable". Since you will have a bit of time from grilling to serving, I agree that you should slightly undercook your burgers then put them in your roaster at a lower temperature. They will keep cooking in there just like in an oven but because of the design of the roaster oven itself, they will remain juicy. We have used the coolers lined with aluminum foil method for transporting food from one location to another, but it will not keep the food warm for more than an hour. Congratulations to your son on his graduation, and next time may I suggest pork loin?
