How to Make Smash Burgers on the Griddle

[@BBQandBottles]

We’ve had lots of questions about the griddle we use. Here’s a link to our review of it if you’re interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/honahqhuetSJhqc

Brilliant video & recipe, I recommend Next time just cook the burgers for 15 seconds less to get the best results other then that everything was on point 👍🎉☺️😁👌

[@destinydorma1346]

What would you price this at?

[@destinydorma1346]

Also, what kind of pickles did you use?

[@OmitZz]

@BBQ and Bottles you can squirt some water around the burgers before you put the lid on and im willing to bet you can melt other cheeses quick enough. Around not on the burgers*

[@redstone5149]

That’s how you do it! There are lots of videos that claim to show you how to make smash burger. Most of them cook the patties too thick. The execution in this video was perfect! Thin and crispy patties, yum!

[@BBQandBottles]

Thanks guys. This is one of our family favorites now. We do this a few times a month at least.

[@troyhenry3267]

This is the best video on KZbin showing how to make the ultimate smashburger. The way you make them, the ounce you use, to the simple toppings are perfect.

Amazing as usual. - I was kinda laughing at some of the comments about the cooking time of the burgers and I was like I'm almost always cooking for more than one person and it's difficult if not downright impossible sometimes to get "everything" timed out perfectly. - Those burgers looked absolutely delicious!! - Great technique and advice!!

Good video. Smash burgers are so easy to make. It's almost impossible to get them wrong, as long as you get them thin enough. Crunchy burgers sounds bad until you actually try one, it's really unbelievable. It's amazing how this simplicity utterly blows away any fancy burger you could possibly buy at high end restaurants.

[@Sola_Scriptura_1.618]

Lean ground works well. You do want more rather than less fat in your ground beef! When I started watching this video, I was thinking, WTF is he doing with a 70g patty? If you are making triples, then 70g patties are good. I make double burgers as per this method and find 100g ideal! Anything over 200g is just too much beef for me. I also noticed he used the cheap wonderbread buns! Awesome choice because it provides the perfect meat-to-bun ratio. I have tried smash burgers with better larger buns, and they just take too much flavor away from the beef! Great video and an awesome presentation. No matter how long you have been cooking smash burgers, there is always lots to learn. I would suggest buying a smasher if you plan on making these a regular meal; the spatula smash technique used in this video is excellent, but it takes too much time and energy. I also found smashing and holding for 10 seconds helps with the crust formation, just my experience. Mmmm, I am in the mood for smash burgers!

If it takes 45 seconds to cook it and 10 seconds to smash it, that means by the time you smashed your 4th patty, the first patty was overcooked .. yet you had plenty of time to play with your cheese etc.

[@onpoint1111]

seropserop glad you said it. i was thinking those burgers were dead before he got to the cheese. great video tho, if you like em well done.

[@bubblegumbxtchh]

on point 11 in Canada, “well done” “medium” etc. isn’t really a notion we have when it comes to burgers cause we have a law that they must be cooked a certain amount before they’re considered able to serve. Not sure if it applies in households or just places that serve food, but yeah. It’s made it so that having pink in your burger is seen as a big no-no. I’ll admit, I’m now aware that a little is fine but I was the same way.

[@onpoint1111]

I make smash burgers all the time on our griddle. I admit that this video had several oddities that people pointed out (cook time, haphazard laying of meat / flipping out of order) BUT the fact is he is right: that crust is what you are after for a smash burger, and that burger he made looked perfect, had the best crust, and would have been delicious. What I do differently is chop the onions and fry them, leaving them off the the edge while the meat cooks. Then, put the onions on top of the cheese while it melts. Perfect diner style. Also, I use potato buns.

[@strugs1]

Great video. There are a lot of smashburger videos out there, but very few of them discuss ideal grill temps and the weight of the patties, and you were quite clear about both. I followed your steps and everyone in my family said they were the best burgers I have ever made. One question about the ground beef though - you said that you can't get 80/20 ground beef in Canada. When I googled this, the canadabeef.ca web site indicates that "lean" ground beef is 17% maximum fat and "medium" is 23% maximum fat. Would the "medium" ground beef be close enough to 80/20? When I asked my local independent butcher shop about this, they suggested that I use a custom ground beef that they offer which is ground sirloin mixed with ground bacon and they said it was very close to 80/20.

[@BBQandBottles]

If you can find medium them go for it - the fattier the better. When I asked at Lowblaws they said they weren’t allowed to sell anything fattier that lean (17%). I bet your butchers chuck would be great too. Glad to hear the burgers turned out well!!

It’s stupid, extra lean ground beef is all you see in supermarkets. Any butcher shop will do whatever you want though. My new go to is buy a whole brisket and cut it in half, trim the fat and grind the flat into burger with 30% fat. The other half fits on the smoker nice. Lots of work but worth it

I found out from my meat department at my local grocery store (in US) that they can only leave about 1/4" fat on a ribeye. We can at least get 80/20 ground beef.

Did these this evening. I found medium ground beef at Sobey’s, a rare find. Usually it’s lean or extra lean in my area. The Lodge cast iron griddle on the Webber S670 worked great. I added canola oil for the first batch based on advise from another video. I figured a heavier-set fellow with a Southern accent must know his stuff. Usually they do, but not this time. So I followed the advice of the Canadian on the 2nd batch, on a clean griddle with no oil. I was able to get that wonderful crust. Following your advice, I even went with process (American sounds better but it is after all processed cheese), and found Martin’s potato buns too. Was an awesome cheeseburger.
