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.

Dubman I’m a kitchen gadget wanker, so bought myself a decent cast iron press….

Wicked. Tell me it’s got the Vinny family crest embossed on it.

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).

vinnyt77

Dubman Of course. We put that on everything.

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.

Try the smashed burger just once.

Homegrove

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

Homegrove

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.

Smallman1 I literally shout this at the burger as I’m smashing it down…
