It’s either thick or thin. No in between.

Bro overcooked the first one on purpose let’s be real

"You're making smash burgers wrong. When you smash them you're squeezing out all the juices. What you need to do is smash it harder" 💀

If your smash burger is coming out THAT dry, you're cooking it wrong in general.

Instructions unclear: smashed my burgers, now paying child support Edit: fixed the term

Love how the secret to smash burgers is essentially “hulk smash”

Turns out you have to smash burgers to make smash burgers. How eventful!

Smash burgers don’t “squeeze out the juices”. That’s exactly the point of them, you press them while they’re cold, before the fat has rendered so it remains inside. High heat and fast cook time allows a full cook, moisture retention, and a good sear simultaneously.

Apparently I wasted my whole life making smash burgers wrong. Thanks bro for making me realise and helping me rectify😭

As someone who worked at smashburgers joint the secret is you don’t want a non-stick surface for smashing Pattie’s! You want he burger fats and protein to stick and create a crisp crust on your patties.

It gets dry if you overcook it or if you smash it after it's already been cooking. I make both ways because some like it less crispy, some like it softer -but I can tell you for sure they aren't dry. Second burger looked like it went too long on the first side. First "dry" burger looked like it didn't get a good sear so probably too cold/too long. You want to flip when the juices just start to turn from red to clear not when the whole thing is like that. A hot surface and not overworking the beef in the pan or when forming balls is key

The WRONG WAY To Make Smash Burgers 😊 The WRONG WAY To Smash Burgers 💀

Idk why, but the smile he had at the end from eating the burger just made me happy. It shows that one of life’s simple necessities can bring so much joy into one’s being, and I find something extremely fulfilling in seeing that.

I will make this for lunch btw you are my dads hero he made your deviled egg burger, cowboy butter turkey and pork belly cinnamon rolls for the Super Bowl party it was so good

Instructions Unclear: Hit the burger with a Neutral Overhead Smash, it looks like it was made at McDonalds now.

BRO I'M FASTING WHY IS THIS IN MY DAMN FYP

It doesnt really matter if some juices escape when you smash, its not gonna be dry if you use a 80/20 blend

Dude really pat-dried the first paddy before showing it lol but somehow the 2nd thinner paddy is all juicy looking smh😂

That squeeky 1st press got me😂

I love how happy he looked when he took a bite into that burger

My dad claims he came up with smash burgers and that a couple years later they became popular

So the right way to make the smash burger is to smash the burger. Groundbreaking. I don’t know how I ever got by without this video.

Him: “you’re making your smash burgers wrong Me: “what’s a smash burger?”

Gordon Ramsey be like: why do you squeeze out the juice, it’s the FLAVOUR!!!!

We were all making smash burgers wrong, thanks for saving us from wrong smash burgers

That moan was weak my boy! 😂

God give this man a medal

Smashing a burger does *NOT* squeeze out all the juice. When making a smash burger you smash the beef when it's still raw, and the juices (which are mostly water) are bound inside the muscle fibers. Do an experiment -- take some raw hamburger meat and squeeze it as hard as you can in your hand for a full 20 seconds (not just one pump like you'd do on the grill). Did it become dry? You only dry out a burger if you cook it too long or if you squeeze it once it's partially cooked and the protein denaturates. How hard you squeeze has nothing to do with it, and if your burger is dry, changing the squeeze strength won't change anything.

How to turn a patty into bacon

I always wondered why the burger isn't just smashed before it goes on the griddle

Of course I had to find a delicious looking burger right before bed

Kid taught something everyone knew. Internet had to be broke

Instructions unclear, broke my stove and in need to buy a new one from smashing the burger with a sledgehammer

U did the same thang twice bro😅 😂😂😂

"smashburgers are dry" **squeezes burger to show juices**

So, basically, make it thinner and dryer. Gotcha 😂

Making a smashburger isn't about getting the juices out. It's about marrying the Burger to the cooking surface faster.

The International Burger Counsel concurs.

“Smash that burger Fred!”

“You’re making smash burgers wrong when you smash them, instead try smashing them”

I make smash burgers by making a regular burgers then just pummelling it into the counter

*me watching this while fasting* 👁🫦👁 yummy

That first one is exactly how I do it and they've never been dry. Homie overcooked the hell out of it.

The ✨augh✨ when he smash the paty i can't man🤣😂💀☠️

That's odd, I don't smash mine that thin and dryness has not been an issue. Could it be because I use a pan and crowd it with 4 patties so the juices can't go far or end up going to the next patty?

Finally someone who does it right

I don't want my burgers to look like a leaf that the hungry hungry Caterpillar came across

Homie said ya smash game is weak af. 😂

Smash that like button until all the juice squirts out!

"your cutting your vegetables wrong" - joshua Weissman

Difference is huge 😂

Plp who heard the moan when he smashed the burger😅

Agree. Also you can smash them between wax or parchment and make a big stack of them...then place them on the grill and use a bent spatula to crisp them evenly...if you dont have a smasher

😂😂😂 I love the satisfied expression at the end of the video 😋

McDonalds taking down notes rn💀

Wasn't aware a smash burger could end up dry.

That first one is just the way mcdonalds makes it

Him: a smash burger that nobody wants Collage students: and i took that personally

I’ve learned the trick of getting the meat close to room temp and then letting the balls rest on the grill for a couple minutes before smashing. That allows all the fats inside the ball to warm and then when you smash, ZERO juices will leave the patty.

bro really told us dont smash smash harder

What I learned, is you have one shot at smashing burger before pressing any juice out because it is raw and the juice hasn’t come out yet

i thought smash burger makers were supposed to straight up sucker punch the mf patty

If you cook it for the right amount of time, a burger should always be fairly satisfying regardless. It's not easy to accidentally make a bad burger.

Pro tip that I've figured out making smash burgers, put down some beef tallow on the griddle. Makes it so juicy.

Thank you for making this video my mom would always ask why obliterated my patty before cooking 😂

thank you now i know i've been making my smash burgers the right way all along

my grandfather makes smash burgers but without the smashing them i swear the patty is literally a sphere

100%. Perfect video. Almost every "smash burger" video i watch has a 1/2 inch thick patty. It's like calling a McDonalds Quarter Pounder a smash burger.

Smash concept is wrong itself 😂

All us 90’s kids still telling everyone they’re doing it wrong. That’s what you call momentum.

The real right way to do it is by flatening them out on the counter before they hit the iron. Then you get the best of both worlds.

Idc about that you just got a new sub because you food looks fireeeee

Here’s a tip smash it before you put in the pan and make sure there is butter down before you place it in the pan

Bro tried too fool us

I always do the smashing when my ball of burger is at about room temp for about 1 hour. This way you’ll retain most of the succulent fat , that helps flavor and keep your burger moist.

„you're doin your smash burgers wrong" Who said i am doing smash burgers

That smile and the end made my day

Thank god there are people who noticed that the first burger just magically dried

This guy’s logic: don’t smash all the juice out of it like that, smash all the juice out of it like this

me fasting while watching this:

Says the guy who didnt smash a heap of finely shredded onion into their smash burger.

Another way is to add diced onion on the patty before smashing it. Also improves the taste if the meat is not top quality.

Broooo you need to bring the historical recipes back! It was too cool! For real, pleeeeease

PERIOD. So many restaurants out there calling a thin patty a smash

I thought you was going tell us how to make smash burgers without squeezing the juice

Edging is crazy bro

Also layer it so you can flip one a little earlier and still have plenty of crisp

I worked at Freddy’s and the technique we learned was smashing it in a circular motion focusing on the edges. That way the center is the thickest part and stays juicy while edges are almost crunchy fried beef

I rarely comment but that man’s smile brought me a smile

The fact that there was a smash burger short right over before this....

I think the restaurant smash burger uses a smash tool that has the edges covered so the juices don't completely escape and get soaked back in.

Jokes on you, I'd eat both burgers anyway

Smash the way you want, who are you the burgernazi?

Another trick I've saw is put salt on it and let it rest or dehydrate the patty with another method. This way the juices will dry, meaning whatever was giving them flavour will be concentrated on the meat tissue

Instructions unclear: my burger is pregnant

Thought this was cordyceps fungus before my eyes properly loaded in

How to make a smash burger the correct way: dont smash your damn burger!

Also cook them from 1/4 frozen so the middle doesn’t get quite so hot and stays a little pink and juicy

Bro doesn’t know the secret

I pass out 4 times just to make my smash burger, I of course want to make sure I smashed it right.
