Shape the hamburger into a patty and leave it alone.

Preheat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of butter.

Place the hamburger patty in the pan without pressing it down.

Cook the hamburger for about 3 minutes without pressing it.

Check the juices; if they are running red, it is still raw.

After 3 minutes, flip the hamburger and cook for another 3 minutes.

Check the juices again; if they are still pink, flip it one more time.

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the juices run clear.
