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 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.

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.

Most of all Neal’s passion makes the videos top notch. On the other side of the camera, Amy is also incredible.

@MikeMPharmaCyclist 10 ай бұрын
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 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.

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.

Great "technique tips" in this video...much appreciated! I agree with you...good bread is better than BAD burger buns. At the end, when you gave Amy a bite...she sounded like she was enjoying it so much..great job! Happy holidays to you and your family!

I’m from Wisconsin, and we did all those things with white bread, also (including, stretch your hamburger with it). Now I make buns form sctrach, and my family goes wild for those, since they taste like croissants, but still make loaves of white bread occasionally. Great video! Thanks for demonstrating the mistakes!

Well to be honest RIch...I appreciate that...i try to look at it from the other side...i really enjoy this journey and now that I have a year under my belt Its nice to be able to relate to the audience...and its hard sometimes not to get extremely hard recipes because most of the audience I would be abandoning...I try to do some stuff in stages
