Tip from a really old griddle/grill cook. Use non-stick aluminum foil on your smash press thingy. Wrap it around the smasher with the dull side down. You'll never need wax or parchment paper again. I've done 24 smash burgers at a time with non-stick aluminum foil on my heavy, cast iron smash press without having to change it out. Try it.

When I was a kid back in the 60's growing up in Eugene, OR, I would follow my neighbor on his John Deere tractor while he plowed. One rainy day my Mom made me a burger on white bread with mustard and salt/pepper and lettuce. Old George and I sat in the rain and had lunch next to his tractor. Best burger ever and the memory will never fade.

I put mustard on there before I cook it I cook a lot outside so I rub the mustard on then put my seasonings It acts sort of like a binder but it tenderizes it and makes them juicy I smoke the patties about two hours really low temperature then turn the heat up and let them sear for a few minutes each side Best burgers you ever had

I know this is an old comment thread but that brought back some awesome memories. My grandmother would always make up a bunch of burgers in cast iron pan, wrap them in paper or foil, load them all up in a playmate cooler and bring them out to us where we'd be on the tractor, cuttings trees or whatever we happened to be doing. Usually on a bun but sometimes on quite bread. I've been trying to duplicate those burgers for years. I've come close but I haven't quite achieved it yet.

I use a 5" wall putty blade (for food only, of course) as a flipping tool. Run that sucker over a sharpening stone a few times and it gets every bit of crust on the flip. And it's cheap enough where when it gets old and ready to throw out, you're only out about $7.

My first breakfast today and it was ok. My wife didn't like my cooking on an iron griddle that she saw me seasoning it. Today she tasted my griddle chicken and she loved it. if it wasn't for you, she would not touch anything I did. now that the griddle is black and up to par. Now she is willing to trust me. That means she is willing to trust you. We are a hit with here. She wants me to make the smachburger tomarrow. you are the greatest.

@Guithero5 3 месяца назад

1. Grille is not hot enough 2. Proper technique- smash and HOLD the burger for a second don't just smash and instantly release pressure, you won't get an even cook across the entire patty. 3. Flipping too soon-wont get mayard reaction (not sure if I spelled mayard correct but its the reaction that makes the *crust* of the burger) 4. Take care when flipping, you need to "scrape" (with the spatula flush to the surface as to not damage the flattop) the burger off the griddle. 5. Over cooking the burger, have everything ready so you don't overcook while trying to season and assemble other ingredients. Start small, don't try and make 8 burgers at once your first cook, start with one at a time and once you get into a rhythm and have a feel for how long things take work up from there. 6. Too large of a patty, you want balls of meat that will squish thin without being so large they won't fit on a standard bun.

That white bread is THE move! We call that a “patty melt” where I grew up. 💣 And I agree that sliced white bread is the home chef’s best friend. Didn’t even realize when we were young that our parents were just trynna give us something substantial but save money, because they made it so fun to look at bread and say “how can we make this work for this meal tonight?” I used to toast it and throw butter and syrup on it like my own quick version of French toast before leaving for school. Best smash burger tutorials I’ve seen are on your channel!

@syence_nird Год назад

I use a 6" drywall knife as my "spatula" to flip the burgers. Never had a tearout and works flawlessly every time. I found those long spatulas have a learning curve and this method takes the guess work out of it.

@112ayoung 11 месяцев назад

interestingggg

@MikeMPharmaCyclist 10 месяцев назад

I use something that is similar but it's actually designed for use on a griddle. It looks like a normal spatula in terms of the handle but the tool itself is a stubby rectangle with really sharp edges on all sides. This is what they use in most commercial smashburger restaurants from what I've seen and of course it works perfectly every time. Also I've seen in the commercial kitchens they always paint the griddle with a little bit of butter first which gives a much better browning effect... A darker color that's more caramely while still not overcooking the burger.

I bought a commercial 16 inch Avantco electric griddle for $230. It takes a while to heat up but it works incredibly well and things like worrying about the right temperature are never a worry. I set it to 425, let it heat up for 25 min or so, and proceed to make incredibly delicious smash burgers. The grill plate of the commerical griddle is nearly 3 times as thick as my Blackstone... and it makes a huge difference in the cook.

@OShackHennessy Год назад

@donnycollins1797 Год назад

I just did my very first smash burgers following your teachings. I was so confident in what I leared I rolled out about 17 balls. I did one first, turned out perfect, then I did two, then I worked up to three. Mine looked just like yours and I seasoned one side. I was careful to dig for the crust. I think they turned out reallly good, just very slightly over seasoned. I'll back off that a little next time. I had a double and my youngest daughter had a single. Tasted alot like a Wendy's burger, which I think is good. I'm really happy because I've NEVER cooked, and this is great. Clean up wasn't even too bad.

His presentations are exactly how the nay delivers trading; intro, description of subject matter, person experience, content delivered with “matter of fact” (confidence), explanation of the critical do’s and don’t s, conclusion and results. Most of all Neal’s passion makes the videos top notch. On the other side of the camera, Amy is also incredible.

You can tell the heat of the grill with the palm of your hand. The number of seconds you can hold your hand over the heat at 4 inches will give you your heat. Also, use the bottom of a sauce pan to mash the burger down. Just moisten the bottom of the pan and push down and give a slight twist. One minute on the first side 30 seconds on the second.

I needed this video. When I made smashburgers for the first time, they did indeed suck. I saw a couple mistakes I made in this video. The second time around I got them pretty good. And they got better yet the third time. Learn from mistakes and keep at it.

You are so welcome JIm...try one at a time and let it rip...happens fast when its that hot...

Good video. Thank you. Not a big fan of excessive bread on a burger/sandwich. Thin white browned in garlic butter works for me.

Some good tips. I didnt have a grill or smasher so I improvised. I found 2 mins first side and 1 minute final side. The foil worked great. I just need better equipment now. Thanks!.
