IF PAN-SEARING

1. Remove the patties from the bags and carefully dry on paper towels. 

2. Season again with salt and pepper. 

3. Heat the vegetable oil in a 12-inch heavy-bottomed cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. 

4. Add the patties and cook until well browned on the first side, about 45 seconds.

5. Flip the patties, add the cheese, and cook until the second side is well browned, about 45 seconds longer.

6. Place the patties on the buns, top with condiments as desired, and serve.


IF DEEP FRYING

1. Heat the oil in a large wok or Dutch oven to 400°F. 

2. Season the patties again with salt and pepper. 

3. Carefully lower the patties into the hot oil using a metal spider. 

4. Fry until deep brown, about 2 minutes. 

5. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and immediately top with cheese. 

6. Place the patties on the buns, top with condiments as desired, and serve.



COOKING IN YOUR COOLER

These recipes require an accurate thermometer as well as a beer cooler with at least a 2.5-gallon capacity and a tight-fitting lid. Some coolers retain heat better than others do. Heat retention can be further improved by draping several towels over the cooler during cooking. Leaving it in a warm spot also helps—I leave mine in direct sunlight on a warm day or in a warm corner of the kitchen indoors. 

Here are the basic steps for cooking in your cooler:

a) Season the food generously on all sides with salt and pepper. Place in a single layer in gallon-sized zipper-lock freezer bags along with any aromatics or rub. Squeeze out as much air from the bags as possible with your hands and close them, leaving 1 inch unsealed.

b) Heat at least 2 gallons of water to the designated temperature; using an instant-read thermometer to ensure accuracy (the hot water from your tap may be hot enough, without having to heat it on the stovetop). Pour the water into the cooler.

c) One at a time, slowly submerge each bag of food in the water until only the unsealed edge is exposed. Any remaining air should have been forced out of the bag as it was submerged. Seal the bag completely.

d) Close the cooler, drape it with a few towels, and set it in a warm spot for the specified cooking time, checking the temperature of the water every 30 minutes or so and topping it up with boiling water as necessary to maintain it at within 3 or 4 degrees of the desired final temperature (with a very good cooler, this may be unnecessary).

e) Remove the food from the bags and sear in hot fat, on a grill, or with a blowtorch to trigger the Maillard reaction and add textural contrast to the food.
