Hamburgers and how to tell if they're done - the Netherlands version
Posted: September 11th, 2009 - 6:55am by Doug Powell
A bites-barfblog reader from the Netherlands sent along this 2008 video, which has an English-speaking bit with a self-proclaimed hamburger professor in New York (New Amsterdam?) demonstrating the touch-the-hand method of determining whether a hamburger is properly cooked (note: this technique is complete BS).

The technique in question appears about five minutes in.
