The rule involves cooking the burger for 5 minutes on one side, 6 minutes on the other side, and letting it rest for 7 minutes before serving.

This method ensures that the burger is cooked evenly and retains its juices, resulting in a juicy and flavorful burger.

The 5-6-7 rule can be used for any type of burger, whether it's beef, turkey, chicken, or veggie.

To use the 5-6-7 rule, preheat your grill or pan to medium-high heat and cook the burger for 5 minutes on one side.

Flip the burger and cook for an additional 6 minutes on the other side.

After cooking, let the burger rest for 7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before serving.
