We’re big fans of the Juicy Lucy — a Minneapolis-born burger with cheese inside instead of on top — but every time we’ve tried to make it on the grill, the cheese gets too hot and the whole thing kind of explodes into a cheesy, meaty, melty mess. The Anova Precision Oven solves that problem with a controlled high temperature. We changed up the traditional recipe and replaced the traditional American cheese with pimento cheese spread, which is why we call this one the Juicy Lucille.
