* After years of perfecting my patties, I found that 3.5oz / 99g is the perfect weight per patty for home cooking and grilling. I usually buy my meat from the butcher and buy enough meat to divide it into 3.5oz portions. For example, if I needed 6 patties, I would buy 21oz / 595g of meat. If you don’t have a kitchen scale or buy a prepackaged pound (454g) of ground beef in the store, just divide by 5 to have meat patties weighing 3.2oz / 91g or divide by 4 to have 4oz / 114g patties.
