A hamburger is a type of a sandwich that consists mainly of beef. The main ingredient for a hamburger is the beef patty. The meat in the burger can either be grilled, broiled, steamed or fried. This patty is then covered with many different toppings and condiments like onion rings and vegetables. They are then closed inside a baked bun and are ready to be served. Hamburgers are generally served along with Potato chips, onion rings or French fries.

When you fry something in a pan, and leave the meat to be cooked in that same grease, you aren't getting something that's good for you.

If you grill the meat, then there's a better chance that the fat is going to drip away and burn off, therefore you aren't getting all the fat that would be stuck to the meat like in a frying pan. Hope this helps.
