Nice video, the one additional smashburger technique tyou should add is he lacy edge burger. It creates meat candy on the edges!
@morrius0757 Жыл бұрын
I was wondering if you could do a burger experiment to see if you like it like I did when I tried it. If you like it it may be a future vid you could do for content. Try making a semi-smash burger. I made a typical smash patty, got it real good and crusty on the flat top and then chopped it up and mixed it in with raw ground beef to make a pub style thick burger patty. It's sort of like eating the best of both worlds, you get a pub burger with the benefit of a medium rare patty but with more brown crispy flavor since you have the chopped up already cooked smash patty pieces on the inside. Make sure to let the smash patty crumbles cool before putting them in to avoid cooking the inside more.

Ron would be even happier to have processed the cow himself; something I have taken part in. My father and I wound up with 150 lbs. of very good, but lean burger (mixture of round, sirloin, and chuck). The best thing is, it only cost us $15, if I remember correctly.

Greg, what size buns are you using!? I'm nabbing the 5mm and 8mm presses but wonder if your bun sizes are the 'Large' buns we usually have here in Texas (think, Whataburger) or if they are 'standard' burger buns? I usually use 4oz GB for the Large buns, and 2-3oz GB for the standard ones. I don't want to end up dwarfing standard buns with overhang (much) so some insight on your bun size/s would be helpful if you have a moment to respond. Are you still using 4oz GB with the 5mm? Always enjoy your content and really dig the new Ballistic Burger channel too!

@NickM2054 жыл бұрын
@@hipx It's not to 'heat up the ball' it's to get the moisture up through the meat, so when you smash it quick on both sides it's less likely to dry out - less time for surface area against the heat that dries out a burger. Most smash burgers are not 4oz either.
