What is the hold time for a 1/4 lb patty on the flat grill?

The hold time for a 1/4 lb patty on the flat grill is set at 10 minutes to ensure it retains optimal quality and safety for consumption. This timeframe allows the patty to maintain its juiciness and flavor while minimizing the risk of drying out or becoming overcooked. Taking the patty off the grill after this period ensures that it is still within safe temperature and moisture levels, which is crucial for delivering a good quality product to customers. Other options suggest longer times which could lead to compromised texture and taste, negatively impacting the overall dining experience.
