the beauty of Oddleys burger reciepe is that there is no specific amount of meat called for just add to every 100gms meat 3gms bread crumb 10gms onion and 1.54gms of spice mix To make the spice mix just use gms where it says parts and you end up with 39 gms of spice mix which is added at the rate of 1.54gms per 100 gms of meat.
Hope this is as clear to you as it sounds to me If not ask again and Ill try to clarify.

For some reason I can't view the recipe. I know it's an old post but all of the responses make this sound like a moral imperative. Has the recipe been moved?

Oddleys Bonza Burgers

Chuck Steak Minced on 4.5 mm Plate

Of meat
3 % Breadcrumbs
10 % Finely chopped onion
1.54 % Spice Mix

Spice mix
76.9231 % - 30 parts salt
10.2564 % - 4 parts black pepper
5.1282 % - 2 parts Sweet smoked paprika
5.1282 % - 2 part onion salt
2.5641 % - 1 part cumin seed powder

Method
Mince cold chuck steak (only as it gives the burger just the right taste) through the 4.5mm plate of a mincer, then add spice mix and knead thoroughly, until slightly sticky. Add onion and mix add breadcrumb and mix. Shape into 4 - 5 oz burgers, and use or freeze.

:D
Curing is not an exact science... So it's not a sin to bin.

I am trying this recipe tonight.

Also, I made an Excel sheet calculator for Oddley's Awesome burger Recipe. How am I going to share this?

Regrettably, there's no facility for hosting it on the forum. You could maybe host it on your own server? However, that would depend on others having comparable software or you could convert it to a program that's in the public domain (Open Office?).

I generally post this sort of thing on my blog using a simple Javascript calculator. I can send you the details if you'd like, or alternatively if members want, post a calculator on my blog?

Just another shout out for Oddley's burgers, yummy :D .

Nothing to do with the recipe, but next time I make burgers I will mix much more lightly so they are less "dense".

I agree with this. I made Oddley's Bonza Burger and the taste was simply stunning but I found the cooked patties a little firm.

I will be trying again using a lighter touch when mixing the ingredients and trying a panade.

I didn't have onion salt but I do have a mahoosive tub of dehydrated onions so I blitsed some to a fine powder - worked well. May also try the addition of garlic to the panade but first I gotta try Oddley's recipe exactly as suggested with good meat.

This said I fully believe the reason for the dense burgers was the Sainsburys pre-packed minced beef and the dough hook on my Kenwood Chef. Getting down to Smithfield soon so Chuck has been added to the list.

I recommend you to try without the breadcrumbs and onion in the mix. Bread and onion should be on the burger, not in it IMO.

I have a simple taste - I'm always satisfied with the best.

When making other more traditional burgers I have found not salting them at all when mixing helps keep them loose. Just add salt as seasning when you cook them.

I was of that opinion - until I tried these. Go on, live dangerously, try them!
