Be sure to have the grill well oiled and pre-heated to a medium to high setting before placing the Impossible Burger patties on the surface. (via Impossible Foods). Of course, be sure the patties are thoroughly defrosted and seasoned to your liking before placing them on the grill as this will allow them to cook evenly and thoroughly, according to CNET. You'll want to grill each side of the patty for about three minutes or until internal temperatures reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
