Burger Fest !!!

well I'v been doing it like this for years and never had any problems like l have said each to their own

It's fine if you want to do it that way for home consumption. It's generally not recommended though. Basically, the finer you chop something the greater the risk, due to the increased surface area and the opportunity for incorporating contamination during processing. A large, uncut joint of meat can sit around quite happily for ages in the chiller, with minimal risk. Mince can't.

I'm well aware of meet hygiene as i worked for woodhead bros, who supply morrisons with all their meat.
i have made these for my own consumption . if people don't like how i make them, TOUGH!!!

I have found that the flavour develops better anyway each to their own

An incorporate mix will still develop even when frozen albeit slower. And left to defrost slowly in a fridge will help that process before cooking. As the others have said you’re inviting incident.

Edited to add, beautiful looking burgers and a nice set up. Definitely pinching the ice cream scoop idea.

Kind regards
