Smashburgers for Beginners on the Blackstone | COOKING WITH BIG CAT 305

[@teresacamp3365]

If you can watch this and not get hungry your not human! Omg I'm starving...Thank you !

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Terersa!!

[@bill43520]

I appreciate the basic instructions (such as, "Medium High" temperature). This IS my first meal on the Blackstone and I can approach it with confidence!

[@padude131]

I'm with you i just bought my blackstone today. I seasoned it so now I'm searching KZbin for cooking videos!

[@marvinm8446]

Great job and I love smashburgers 🍔👍🏽👌🏽😋.

[@ЯрославКошелев-ы6х]

We've used this griddler for a variety of items including steak, fish, vegetables kzbin.infoUgkxMcXT6_MuT0hB3ejyGQQHaeof9bwoWPUf and mushrooms and it's been great! Gets that great smokey flavor when using high heat or sear. The grill works amazingly simple and very low smoke for what it is. Heat gets up fairly quick, especially on closed position. The griddler side is fairly simple, better for eggs and pancakes rather than any cooking. Use the flat plates with the grill side if needed.Cleanup is easy and having heat on both sides is great for cooking a large amount or panini press.This definitely gets hot though so be careful with the sides.

This is exactly the type of video I was looking for. Thanks so much for taking the time to make it! Making these burgers TONIGHT!

Hey big cat just started trying these about 6 months ago. But why do mine puck up in the middle when I flip them?

[@catherineharris27]

Yeah dude 🤟👌!!! I'm trying to get my hubby to purchase a Blackstone grill! And yes 4oz burgers 🍔 are the perfect size! Love the 1/2 cup 🥤 hack!! Burgers🍔 look delicious 😋

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Catherine, your husband will love it!!!

[@kellycoleman715]

Subscribed as soon as I saw him scraping that Blackstone so he "wouldn't miss a thing". That's my style. Respect!

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks bro, appreciate you!!!

[@TheBigTimeBoiler]

I'm not a huge fan of regular burgers on the grill but I got a Weber Crafted Griddle and wanted to try out smash burgers... I watched a couple of videos but ended up using yours as my main tutorial... Let me tell you, best burgers I've ever had on the grill by far! Only main differences I did was use 1/3 measuring cup and seasoned them before they went on the grill.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

I like the seasoning part before, never thought of that!

[@garygeller6177]

Holy CR*P man!! That looks absolutely fantastic! I'm drooling as I'm typing! I'll definitely give it a try 👍. Thank you sir.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Gary, appreciate the comment brother!!!

[@vincevince7482]

Another trick if you like the crust on your burger. When you flip them, try and put them in a spot where there was not a burger. I usually am for the spot I just toasted my buns in. Also, if you don’t have a press or want to minimize cleanup and use minimal tools. Just use the spatula. Use a scraper or something to help press down. Once smashed, “SLIDE” your spatula off. Don’t lift straight up or the meat might stick. Works like a charm.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Vince, appreciate you brother!!!

[@judsonkr]

If you are going to slide off the burger make sure that you use a non-perforated spatula.

[@douglascushenbery1747]

If you are not a fan of American Cheese, try a slice of Provolone and a slice of Swiss Cheese in loo of the American Cheese. It's not traditonal, but might avoid a divide in the family. Enjoy. Great video! I make these burgers twice a week, quick and easy, and awesome.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Douglas, I hear you about the divide in the family lol... I like all cheeses...

[@GingaNinjaGriddler]

Your burgers turned out amazing. I'm in love with my Blackstone, our poor BBQ doesn't ever get used anymore.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Ginga Ninja for the comment. I just checked out your channel and subscribed, looks great!!!

[@briankillian5248]

So glad I bumped into you folks. USN Ret, PNC. I bought my griddle top last year and love it.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@cujo229]

It's videos like this why I love to cook on cast iron. The sear and taste is unmatchable.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

I agree, too many people are afraid of cast iron and there is no reason to be. I'm with you 100%!!!

Oh my goodness!!! I just bought a 28 inch Blackstone on Saturday I’m definitely gonna make these this week !!! Thanks

Ironically I just cooked on my 28" today for the first time in a while. I made a great breakfast and then made some Cuban Sandwiches in the afternoon. 28" is a good option!!!

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Awesome!!! Happy Father's Day, you're gonna love your gift...

[@johnclarke6647]

I do mine about the same way on my Blackstone. My seasoning is salt, lemon Pepper, onion powder and garlic powder in my Blackstone shaker. I like your 1/2C measuring idea. I will try it. I will also try your loose ball idea. I normally just roll them into about a 2” diameter ball. I use my Blackstone press and parchment paper. I broke the handle off my Blackstone press and welded it back on. It will not come off, again.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

I'm not going to lie when I say I'm jealous of the welding skills. I've never welded anything but it looks badass.... Thanks John!!!

[@scottgautier1373]

I'm sharing this video all over FB as the primo example of how to properly make a smash burger. It's the one I used to learn the correct way to do it, and love being able to share it with others. Keep cooking it up, brother.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Awesome comment Scott, appreciate you sharing!!!

[@kind2311]

You're almost there! Crank up that heat to approx. 600°F and crush and _S M E A R_ that meat around so thin that it cooks almost instantly. That makes the best kind of smashburger, the "lacy edge". If it sticks, you did it right!

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Vinny, appreciate the tip brother!!!

[@kind2311]
