Anyone into making smashed burgers. I will admit I’ve only just started doing them on the bbq. I don’t I’ll ever make my own burgers ever again.

    Dubman Yeah, big fan here. Saw a Youtube vid about ten years ago showing how to make smashburgers, and they’ve become the only way I’ll cook them now. I use a heavy cast iron grill plate over my charcoal BBQ, and the results are fantastic.

    Used to use a burger press to make half pound monstrosities, but would far rather have 2 × 100g smashburgers these days.

      Last time I made they were to or not smashed down enough. Today I’ve gone for 2 ×75g lean mince but will smash them pretty thin. Also added some extra beef fat from last Sunday’s roast for a bit more flavour. Do you a slice of cheese between each burger.

        Nice 🙂

        Yeah - always a slice of cheese per burger. Bit of water on the grill plate and steel bowl as a dome to steam the cheese and keep the burger moist.

          They’re so good and simple. I used use burger press myself. But now I just use 2 baking trays and some grease proof paper to smash them.

            Biggest compliment I ever got was from my wife when we had burgers at a TV chef’s burger joint, and she said “your burgers you make at home are better.” 😍

            I don’t think my burgers are THAT good, but maybe the burgers where we ate them were just really average.

            I always try a new burger joint (we have too many for a city this size in Turku) by the most simple cheese burger they have on the menu. Which is what I do at home. Just raw onion, salad, pickles, special sauce, ketchup and mustard with the bun, cheese and one patty.

              vinnyt77 I also have one of these, for the same purpose - making smash burgers (though not on a barbecue, on a flat bottomed pan with a roaring gas flame works quite well).

                  bosstrabs probably quite the same, as most people use a flat top grill to make burgers.

                    Dubman oh I love them, just need to buy that presser thing, I tried just pressing the everloving fuck out of the patty with a spatula, it did not work to my satisfaction.

                        I hope you’re listening to Timo Mass’ Der Scheiber or something equally mega when you’re making your smashed burgers lads.

                          Come to ‘Pizza Barn’ where you too can eat like a FUCKING FARM ANIMAL
