You are too nice! But thank you.

Lol I hope so! We really need to watch that movie.

We really like to cook and eat lol but thanks a lot! Much appreciated.

I hope you get a burger soon!

I should get those right? But thank you for the complement.

Lol for science?

I appreciate that! No pickles on this though unfortunately.

It did hit the spot. Thanks so much!

I’ll make you two since you asked nicely lol

Press down on the bun? Haha I also think it’s the perspective.

No problem at all! I hope you get one soon. Such a difference in taste from those thick and juicy burgers.

Deal! But only if I can get chicken parmigiana!

I wish I could make you all burgers for your nice comments

Only burned 2 in the process lol

Thank you!

Thanks man. But I agree it isn’t real cheese but the it’s hard to find a cheese that melts just like this.

Half price for you if you ever come with u/v13ragnarok7

u/Toucan_Lips put it best with his comment

“You get a lot more surface area cooked very quickly so you get a lot of crusty edge. Also usually one portion is split into two patties so you get two thinner, crustier patties that are then held together by melted cheese.

Compare that to a more classic burger patty which is often thicker and has a juicy/pink interior and an outer crust. Smash is almost all crust.”

Hopefully you can find a mom and pop shop that sells them. They really hit the spot.

Why not? Smashin’ Saturdays. Burgers deserve two days if tacos get one.

Monkey see, monkey do. I’ve seen a few chefs on YouTube and in restaurants wait before smashing. If you or anyone knows if it makes a difference I’d love to know.

Thank you!

It’s a deal. If I ever take the plunge and open a burger shop, burgers for life for u/v13ragnarok7

I actually make them for my wife and I every F1 weekend and have been trying to perfect them for the last few months. I get nervous cooking for a lot of people but I just went for it today. But it’s true when you get the sear/smash perfected it’s a whole new thing.

Thank you so much. I made 9 of them today and everyone did love them. I actually ran out of beef for myself but the bites I had from my wife did make me really happy.

If I ever open a burger shop you can have free burgers for life. Thank you friend.

Thank you!

Grab a pack of medium (80/20) ground beef and make roughly packed 3 oz balls of beef. Got my griddle rippin hot and place the balls down. After 10 seconds I used a stainless steel burger press and smashed them. Added salt, pepper and a tiny bit of garlic powder on top. Waited around 2 mins till the edges were curling and crisp. Flipped and added a slice of Velvetta cheese on each patty. Waited around another minute and a bit till the cheese was melted and bottom was crisp. The only other condiments were caramelized onions and sauce.

Sauce: Mayo, ketchup, relish, yellow mustard, tiny bit of fresh garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, dash of Truff Hotter sauce. Let it chill in fridge for a bit.
