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

                        The owner’s a right clown too, you haven’t invented the light bulb mate, your ground breaking gift to the world was to make a 2ft fucking pizza.

                        That Food Insider account has some of the most disgusting shite you’re ever likely to come across. Unimaginative garbage dressed up as groundbreaking. How far can some asshole push the food envelope? A Phily Cheesesteak wrapped in a pizza maybe? How about a Philly Cheesesteak wrapped in a pizza and then deep fried and covered in special sauce? WOW, its blowing up on social media!!!!

                          Haha the fucking state of that. And the yanks have the temerity to question anything anyone eats anywhere else on the planet.
