Arrange in a circle on a dish lined with absorbent kitchen paper and cook on HIGH for 4 minutes. Turn over and cook for a further 2 minutes. Leave to stand for 1 minute before serving. Serve with a green salad or in hamburger buns. These burgers can be cooked in a pre-heated browning dish, if desired, for 4-5 minutes, turning once.
