The Diner Burger
4-6 servings
15-30 min
Easy
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a bowl, combine all the meats, gently mixing to avoid overmixing. Shape and press the mixture into six patties, about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Press a divot into the center of each patty with your thumb. Season the outsides of the patties well with salt and pepper. Place three patties on each cooking tray, divot side down. Lightly spray both sides with cooking spray.
- Place the drip pan in the bottom of the cooking chamber. Using the display panel, select Air Fry, adjust the temperature to 375°F / 190°C, and set the time to 9 minutes. Preheat the Instant Pot Vortex® until the display indicates Add Food.
- Place the cooking trays in the bottom and middle positions. When the display indicates Turn Food, flip the patties over so they are divot side up and switch the bottom cooking tray to the top position and the middle cooking tray to the bottom position. Cook until the patties are lightly browned, the juices run clear when pierced, and the internal temperature reads 160°F / 71°C on a meat thermometer.
- Place a cheese slice on top of each burger. Using the display panel, select Broil, adjust the temperature to 400°F / 200°C, and set the time to 2 minutes. Preheat the Instant Pot Vortex® until the display indicates Add Food. Place the cooking trays, one at a time, in the top position and cook until the cheese is melted.
- Mayonnaise Sauce: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, and relish; mix well.
- To assemble, spread the Mayonnaise Sauce over the inside of the buns, place the burger on the bottom half, and garnish with toppings of your choice.

About the chef
Donna-Marie Pye
Growing up in Whitby, Ontario, Donna-Marie Pye was introduced to great food at an early age. Memories of summers spent putting up beans, corn, peaches and tomatoes with her mother and sisters, picking and selling strawberries at a roadside country stand, catching fish off the east coast of Canada and cooking over campfires on family camping trips created Pye’s appreciation for unfussy, flavorful food. Pye’s straightforward style and easy-going manner are illustrated by her heartfelt belief that cooking is easy and anyone can do it. All anybody needs are a few tips and tricks, a handful of well-tested recipes and some time-saving cooking tools, all of which is offered at her and collaborator Maria Burjoski's cooking school and kitchen supply store, Relish Cooking Studio, with sincerity and humility. Pye is a Professional Home Economist (P.H.Ec) and holds a Bachelor in Applied Science in Food and Nutrition from Ryerson University, a diploma in Public Relations from York University and has taken cooking courses around the world. She is the best-selling author of four cookbooks including The Best Family Slow Cooker Recipes, 300 Slow Cooker Favorites and 300 Slow Cooker Winners. Her cookbook "The Essential Vortex Air Fryer Cookbook" was released in November 2020, and her newest slow cooker cookbook "Today's Everyday Slow Cooker" was released in March 2021. She is also a busy wife and mother to two grown and almost-gone children, daughter Darcy & son Jack.
