I wanted to find a new great way to make plant based smash burgers! I know every time I make them, they fall apart or are too dry!
So I went to the internet and did what anyone should do... watch KZfaq videos on it!

It appears as if the cuts or overlays got mixed up. You're tasting the Mushroom smash but the overlay puts "butter smash" as second place. Just like "The cooked in butter is the worst" but the emoji appears next to "mushroom smash"

Beyond has a sweet after taste and leaves a sticky residue in the skillet. Impossible has a salty/savory after taste and leaves an oily residue in the skillet. Both products have gone through many changes since being introduced.. I eat these products sparingly due to allergic rxn to the ingredients. My family enjoyed The Wellington. Thanks for sharing and the honest non-critical reviews.

Burgers smashed with onions are always awesome ! Totally makes sense that they keep vegan patties juicy

It almost looks like it falls apart because it's sticking to the spatula/smasher. You can tell with the one with onions how it doesn't stick and they work much better. I bet you could have a little piece of parchment paper between the meet and smasher and leave it on while it cooks for a few seconds if you wanted to skip the onions

Exactly. I work in a smash burger restaurant and it sometimes sticks to the spatula and they break, it also happens with meat

@maxwell_edison Жыл бұрын

Yeah this video is a bit weird, I'd think with Sauce Stache's cooking experience, he wouldn't blame the meat for sticking to the spatula. Like bruh never had regular beef stick to anything before? Kind of makes the whole video seem unnecessary lol Also seems like if the Impossible one truly dries out quicker, might just need lower heat.

You don't need anything fancy. Just turn the meat ball after a couple of seconds and before you smash. Never sticks

Having done a TON of burgers with both I think you are correct, impossible is better for smash burgers because it's all about the maillard reaction. Tip, rather than smashing in the pan I pre smash between parchment paper. I also slice my onions on a mandolin and use A LOT of them, not caramelized. Also the Mississippi slugburger works real well with plant based ground. The breadcrumbs add extra binding power and it also allows you to make more from 1 package of ground.

I’ve been using the premade impossible patties to make your McDonald’s cheeseburgers and when I smash them, I use the paper that separates the patty and there is no sticking to the spatula. Works like a charm. Thanks for your recipes 🌱💚

pre-smashing the burger with wax paper helps a ton. Brian lagerstrom did it in his smashburger video. I also like making a "beefy' marinade and brushing it on the burger when its done cooking. My marinade is usually maramite, liquid smoke, soy sauce, and a bit of water. That way the burger is almost dripping wet with beefy marinade when you eat it

I prefer the impossible burger over the beyond any day. If you’ll cook the burger for 30 to 40 seconds on one side ( not any longer than that) then flip it over and mash it, it shouldn’t stick. That’s the way I’ve been doing it and it gets flat and crispy on the edges.

I love to make Impossible smash burgers. I grill some very thinly sliced onions in the pan (just for 10 minutes), salt & pepper 3 oz Impossible meat seasoned with S&P, slightly oil the hot pan and smash the Impossible meat flat. I never have a problem with it sticking or falling apart. I put the meat and onions on a plate and toast the bread in the nice fond left in the pan and then load the burgers up with the grilled onions, some raw onion, tomato, mayo, mustard, and ketchup. The times I've tried this with Beyond Burger meat, I've thought it smelled and tasted like cat food.

What is the best bread/sandwhich spread you can make with TVP[textured vegetable protien] that is not overly difficult. - Something using meatloaf seasoning or Onion soup powder or Taco/chilli seasoning with maybe some tomato sauce or something. - And maybe another variety with mushrooms gravy seasoning or something like that. - Something simple and not overly expensive. - Something that you can maybe chop up some onions, mushrooms or peppers to enhance but it is not required. - Basically something to eat your bannock with on a budget.

@jahverussell2642 2 жыл бұрын

My theory as to why Not Another Cooking Show's onion smash burger was the winner was because the onions that you put on top of the burger broke up the usually smooth surface of the burger thus preventing an air seal when you press the spatula down onto the burger thus preventing the burger from sticking to the spatula when you lift it back off the burger thus preventing the burger from breaking up in the pan. The onions act as sort of a "non-stick surface", if you will. The burger is still able to hold its form and thus probably retain more of its juiciness when using that method. Phew! That was a lot of burgers and thus'!
