Use one of the higher temp oils, or the oil itself will smoke. I like a bit of butter, but peanut oil works very well. If you're using oil, try brushing it on the burger instead of pouring a bit into the pan.
When making the patties, try to shape them as slices of a cylinder, not ovoids. They will cook much more evenly.
With practice, you can test doneness by poking the top of the burger and judging from the consistency.
I like adding shredded cheese and horseradish to patties. (plus maybe a sprinkle of salt/pepper)
