Jerk Pork Patty — Cooking Guide

About This Product

Our Jerk Pork Patty is seasoned with a bold, spicy Jamaican jerk blend — packed with heat and warm spice, ready for the grill or pan.

How to Cook It

  1. Form patties gently (don't overwork the meat) and season the outside just before cooking.
  2. Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat, about 4–5 minutes per side, flipping only once.
  3. Don't press down on the patty — this squeezes out the juices.
  4. Cook all the way through, then rest 2–3 minutes before serving.

Safe Internal Temperature

Cut Internal Temp
Ground beef, pork, or lamb 71°C / 160°F

Because it's ground meat, cook all the way through — there is no food-safe "medium-rare" for burgers or patties. Check with a digital meat thermometer. (Source: Health Canada safe cooking temperature guidelines.)

Chef's Tip

Press a shallow dimple in the center of each patty before cooking so it stays flat instead of puffing into a dome.
