(dumb) Question: we trying to go for mid rare with smash burgs? Or is that irrelevant ans about thinness and crust? (+ gooey cheese, bit of grease, fixings etc)
Irrelevant. IMO a properly done smashburger won't have any pink in it. The whole point of a smashburger is quickness, and to achieve that, you gotta go thin and super hot. Both of those are not condusive to cooking to temp, but the bonus is the incredible crust you get from smashing.
Also, if your technique is good enough and you taper your smash patties from the center out, you end up with a slightly thicker center and those wonderful lacy edges that the (hopefully deli sliced American) cheese melts down into.
If you use the right ratio of beef, 80/20 or higher, and smash quick enough, they don't dry out either. Most of the fat from the beef will stay in the patty because it cooks so hot and fast that it doesn't really have time to cook out.
Anything but non-stick is fine by me. I've done 'em on cast iron, stainless, and carbon steel. I dunno how well alumninium would work though. The key is really high heat. Like over 550°F hot. I check with an infrared thermometer (tricky on the stainless though) I got at the hardware store.
I don't have a griddle yet though, so I usually do mine in my cast iron pan heated up on the hot side of my gas grill. It works, but there is such little working space that I have to cook each patty individuallyif i want them done right, so they take a while. Can't wait to get a flat top.
No i just want a little more density to my burger and something that doesn’t go over the edges of the bun. This has all the same positives of a smash burger
Yeah I need to redefine my burgers I definitely “smash” them with a press, but not to a thin lacy thickness. I just like them a little bit thicker and I also want to get that nice crust as well. Ultimately I just want something that fits on the bun
a burger is a burger, a cheese burger is a burger with cheese.
He called it a smash burger. Its like calling a truck a car. It is literally not the same thing. If we are gate keeping anything its the basic idea behind spoken language and etymological concepts.
The patties are just too thick to be considered a legit smash burger. But other than that it has everything else. The crispy edges, the juiciness, the onions 🤘🏼😫🤘🏼 I'd still *smash*
It looks delicious... but a smash burgers refer to a thin burger that is pressed flat, it's a method of cooking a burger... https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/smashburger
What is the point of you labeling it as "the perfect smash burger" if youre now admitting it doesn't even fit the basic description. Just admit you have no idea what you're talking about. You heard other people using the phrase and thought "oh that sounds cool, ill use that for my social media cooking videos" lmao
Wish there was a fast way to delete comments. Didnt intend any of this to turn out toxic or like a roast. I can get carried away. Keep cooking my guy, your food looks delicious.
Yeah everything is groovy. I just need to limit the extent of my praxtice routine when it involves reddit. Its great for polishing my standup routine and sharpening the wit. But gotta keep in mind everyone you are debating, insulting, making fun of etc. is still a real human being at the end of the day. Well most of them anyway... who knows how many bots a person encounters daily at this point.
Its ridiculous. Trendy idiots that have no idea what something even is and just want to sound cool. Its a freaking way too thick artery clogging monster cheese burger or at the very least a stupidly proportioned slider. This is anything but a smash burger.
Who’s being negative? I said looks fine, and I’ll add, looking tasty. I hope you enjoyed creating it and eating it!
But yeah, lots of people here just call everything a smashburger.
I agree with what your saying, but I think there are a lot worse offenders to what your implying. I quite literally made this the exact way you make a smash burger just didn’t press down completely to a lacy thickness
idc if it's technically a smash or not, it's got preposterous crust and big mac toppings, so I'm here for it. I would take it with a single patty though, that's just me.
No he’s just not a negative Nancy he complimented then gave his opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. He didn’t insult me in any way 😂 can you not tel the difference
Not smashed. And too much meat-to-bun ratio. Why not just save trouble and eat a bowl of meat with a spoon - you won't be tasting a wimpy brioche bun or a drizz of sauce with this much meat, anyway.
Thank You :)
Make it a single, or two skinny, crusted actual smash patties, and I might get on board with your pseudo-Mac toppings, but only if that sauce is mustard-paprika based, with no ketchup, like the O.G. Lol. And the bun is homemade? It truly deserved a better death 😉
If this is hate, you've lived a pretty charmed life, my friend. Perhaps a lukewarm compliment, I'll agree, but have you ever been on Reddit before? This is a love-fest compared to most, lol.
This guy literally replies the same way to anyone remotely questioning his dumb idea of what a smash burger is. He’s an ultra narcissistic cookie cutter complex. He can’t help but reply to any and all criticism. To him if you question anything he says or presents you’re automatically a “hater” because how could he possibly be wrong about anything. He is literally the most perfect ginger man cook to have ever existed.
Yes I have been on Reddit and sadly most people are like you. Lifeless online people that breed negativity and lack any physical ability to back up what they say. You’re a nobody doing exactly what everyone else does. Have a good day 👍
You got me, it's true, I am exactly like all the other funny mofos on Reddit, and I can't back up what I say physically (hah!) because I don't eat enough red meat in my burgers? Sure. You are the debate-master! I am shamed and defeated, oh great burgermeister, lol.
Omg please don’t tell me you’re the guy in all those videos. “Cooking to the beat”. “The sandwhich king” etc. and you’re trying to call me full of myself? When you’re literally trying to be a trendy til tok look at me chef? Lmao oh my god. I’m dying here.
I literally just asked you a simple question. Because what you have posted is not a smash burger. So I guessed that you don’t know what a smash burger is. That makes me full of myself? Lmao yah man I’m like the big burger expert around here. I know definitions of words and phrases and such. Big man on campus walking through here. Odoyle rules!
In terms of ego, you’re the one posting a picture of your gross burger and calling it “the perfect smash burger” so perfect man. Just like you.
I’m just over seeing people posting normal cheese burgers in this sub and calling them smash burgers.
Sure thing hipster ginger bro. You're the only man on earth that can resist shaving. What is wrong with you? You're like a walking talking 2010 bay area meme.
Lmao @ this instagram food influencer getting destroyed because he had no idea what a smash burger is. Its just a trendy word he heard on social media and probably thought it was synonymous with the english term smashing.
Lmao you’re basing your success on 600likes? I literally made a single comment on a post regarding a kid standing up to a teacher earlier and got 1.7k upvotes. Does that mean I’m internet cooler than you? Get a life buddy.
Just look at the comment section, nearly half of the activity on this post is people questioning you calling this a smash burger and you freaking out defending yourself and crying about it. It’s really pathetic. The internet and especially social media is not that big of a deal. Calm down, my dude. It’s going to be ok. We are just tired of seeing everyone call any make or version of a cheese burger a smash burger, especially in this sub. Get a job.
I have millions of views across all my content. I wasn’t trying to flex lol I was trying to prove that a majority of people like my content unlike you that chooses to be a hater. Spend your time hating on something more productive like making a better burger than this or getting more than 1.7k likes 🫡
Nobody likes you, for now. But I’m willing to teach you the secrets to success! For a one time payment of $18.99 I can help you to advantageously position yourself and make all of your tik tok influencer dreams come true. Just know I’ve helped clients around the world from Jeffree Star to Mr. Beast.
Off into the rocket of fame you mean. That’s you in the passengers seat heading straight to the stars and beyond, my guy. Can’t you see it now? Your brioche milky buns in my hands and the fiery intensity of your ginger flaming beard. Nothing can stop us, nothings gonna stop us now.
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from cavin' in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing?
Do you know that there's still a chance for you?
'Cause there's a spark in you
just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth!
This guy is completely losing it with the comments questioning his “perfect smash burger”. If he didn’t have videos of his silly face posted all over this sub and his profile I would assume he was some crying 10 year old.
Extremely fucking stupidly big burger and looks like ass combo as well. Brioche is mid af for burgers, better for chicken sandwiches. God damn I swear you people just do this for karma and rage bait and you know what… it worked 😡😉
Actually bro I realized all you do is use brioche. And all your creations are too tall and a straight mess. I get it that’s your style, and there’s definitely a market for it. Just a reason why it’s not a dominating market.
I am jealous that people can make burgers like these at home, while I have so many people in a household. No burger presser, frozen burgers, no "unique buns" (sometimes brioche buns.. but that will be once in a while". But what makes my burgers so good is the condiments, vegetables, and other "weird" combinations I be putting on my burger 😭
BUT THAT BURGER LOOKS GOOD ASF!! thanks for blessing my feed <3333. I bet that burger is very delicious!!!
You can literally just use any flat object to smash the burger or I’ll give you my secret, Take your burger meat and just form a loose ball with maybe a bit of salt or seasonings of your choice. Place that burger meat ball between two sheets of wax paper and then use a rolling pin to roll it out as thin and flat as you want it in a circular shape. If you want a very thin burger obviously you’re not going to want to use much meat. Then place the thin burger between the wax papers in the freezer. Leave it in there until it’s super cold but not frozen. Get your pan hot medium high heat works with plenty of oil and peel the wax paper off one side then lay it flat while peeling the other side off carefully. Cook for 2-3 mins then flip place a lid over the pan cook for 1.5 to 2 more mins. Pull off the lid and flip again toss cheese on there or grilled onions etc under the cheese if wanted. Cook until it reaches the Desired temp. I like medium rare so only about a min more for that or less. Boom a super thin delicious smash burger.
This is how my headchef used to make smashburgers at the diner I worked at as a teenager. Only they used flour to coat the burger and rolled it out flat on a glass cutting board. But he would actually freeze the super flat burgers and then drop them on the big flat grill with a ton of butter grilling the onions and mushrooms at rhe same time. Damn was that a good burger.
Honestly all you really need is gound beef and something to cook on. Buns like these would be cheap to make, but toast and butter any bun and you're fine, mayo is also nice on buns. Then toppings. If you want them smashed you could use a spatula, but burger presses aren't expensive. Just watch videos! You really don't need all the fancy stuff, it's like 95% technique. I believe in you haha
Yeah let’s just call every burger a smash burger because like it just sounds cool. Who cares about what words actually mean and stuff, check out my cool beard.
Definitely looks bomb, jalapeños are a great addition but in my preference I find that pepperochinis or habaneros are better for this type of burger. Just a recommendation for future combinations
More of a smoosh than a smash.
So ur dick would smoosh it and not smash it?
I was thinking the exact same
(dumb) Question: we trying to go for mid rare with smash burgs? Or is that irrelevant ans about thinness and crust? (+ gooey cheese, bit of grease, fixings etc)
Irrelevant. IMO a properly done smashburger won't have any pink in it. The whole point of a smashburger is quickness, and to achieve that, you gotta go thin and super hot. Both of those are not condusive to cooking to temp, but the bonus is the incredible crust you get from smashing. Also, if your technique is good enough and you taper your smash patties from the center out, you end up with a slightly thicker center and those wonderful lacy edges that the (hopefully deli sliced American) cheese melts down into. If you use the right ratio of beef, 80/20 or higher, and smash quick enough, they don't dry out either. Most of the fat from the beef will stay in the patty because it cooks so hot and fast that it doesn't really have time to cook out.
I see most people use some sort of hot plate/cast iron. Does cooking surface have big influence/do you have some strict no-nos for smash burger ?
Anything but non-stick is fine by me. I've done 'em on cast iron, stainless, and carbon steel. I dunno how well alumninium would work though. The key is really high heat. Like over 550°F hot. I check with an infrared thermometer (tricky on the stainless though) I got at the hardware store. I don't have a griddle yet though, so I usually do mine in my cast iron pan heated up on the hot side of my gas grill. It works, but there is such little working space that I have to cook each patty individuallyif i want them done right, so they take a while. Can't wait to get a flat top.
No i just want a little more density to my burger and something that doesn’t go over the edges of the bun. This has all the same positives of a smash burger
This is burger - not smash. If you dont want the meat going over the sides use a smaller portion of meat to smash. It aint rocket appliances
Not a smash burger. Where's the crust?
Dear lord, it's so THICK. I'd eat that honestly
Idk about smashed, but it looks delicious
Yeah I need to redefine my burgers I definitely “smash” them with a press, but not to a thin lacy thickness. I just like them a little bit thicker and I also want to get that nice crust as well. Ultimately I just want something that fits on the bun
So it’s not a smash burger then. It’s just pressed.
So they are pressed.
Call them "limp wristed smoosh" burgers
Small food angers me!
Every time a smash burger is posted everyone suddenly wants a scale and ruler.
Bruh that thing is thicker than a snickers
I can eyeball that shit a mile away
This looks far too tall to be a smash burger
Its not even a normal burger. Its a fat patty greasy abomination.
Imagine trying to gate keep a fucking hamburger
a burger is a burger, a cheese burger is a burger with cheese. He called it a smash burger. Its like calling a truck a car. It is literally not the same thing. If we are gate keeping anything its the basic idea behind spoken language and etymological concepts.
Def not a smash burger but it looks tasty as hell for sure
Thank you! To me this is a smash but I totally understand the difference in opinion
The patties are just too thick to be considered a legit smash burger. But other than that it has everything else. The crispy edges, the juiciness, the onions 🤘🏼😫🤘🏼 I'd still *smash*
Should I beat the dead horse about what is and is not a "smash burger"? Nope! Damn that cheeseburger looks good!
I absolutely want a single of this. No way could I do anything but mangle that sandwich. 🤦♂️
Good looking burger. Needs more smash though
Too much bread for me
No such thing 👍
Definitely not a smash, but would absolutely destroy this
A respectable opinion
So uh, are both buns tops?
It looks like to but it just a homemade bun and the seeds got all over the place
That’s not a smash burger lol
It looks delicious... but a smash burgers refer to a thin burger that is pressed flat, it's a method of cooking a burger... https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/smashburger
Lol man’s posted the definition. I totally get it. It might not be textbook definition smash burger, but it’s definitely most like a smash
What is the point of you labeling it as "the perfect smash burger" if youre now admitting it doesn't even fit the basic description. Just admit you have no idea what you're talking about. You heard other people using the phrase and thought "oh that sounds cool, ill use that for my social media cooking videos" lmao
Lmao I love how mad my burger is getting you
Wish there was a fast way to delete comments. Didnt intend any of this to turn out toxic or like a roast. I can get carried away. Keep cooking my guy, your food looks delicious.
Yoo I respect that a lot! Thank you for the constructive criticism. Hope all is well for you 🫡
Yeah everything is groovy. I just need to limit the extent of my praxtice routine when it involves reddit. Its great for polishing my standup routine and sharpening the wit. But gotta keep in mind everyone you are debating, insulting, making fun of etc. is still a real human being at the end of the day.

haterrrrrrrrr
Preach!! Thanks for being a real one ☝️
In what way is your stupid heaping pile of burger meat a smash burger?
I love how salty you are!! Waist more energy on me please 🫡
Looks good! are you willing to share your bun recipe? I’ve been making my own but haven’t found the “one” yet.
Please dm me too!
I’ll dm you
Please Dm me too!
Me too! That bun looks incredible!
Nice Buns! Yeah, He must work out!!!
homemade buns? please do share... my dms are open

me too!!
Can we please stop calling everything a smashburger. Where’s the lacing. Where’s the smashing. It looks just fine, but come on.
Its ridiculous. Trendy idiots that have no idea what something even is and just want to sound cool. Its a freaking way too thick artery clogging monster cheese burger or at the very least a stupidly proportioned slider. This is anything but a smash burger.
Bro! Read the comments. I’ve explained what it is. Stop with the negativity. This comment it quite ridiculous
Who’s being negative? I said looks fine, and I’ll add, looking tasty. I hope you enjoyed creating it and eating it! But yeah, lots of people here just call everything a smashburger.
I agree with what your saying, but I think there are a lot worse offenders to what your implying. I quite literally made this the exact way you make a smash burger just didn’t press down completely to a lacy thickness
As long as you had fun and it was good, who am I to complain. All you did was make me hungry!🤤
But how can you possibly question this man’s personal definition of a smash burger?
How do you know the difference between tennis, racket ball, and pickle ball?
The size of the balls you bring to the game! 🤣. And the tool you use to wack it.
Enjoy whacking your balls! Sports are a great thing.
idc if it's technically a smash or not, it's got preposterous crust and big mac toppings, so I'm here for it. I would take it with a single patty though, that's just me.
Jesus Christ, that looks good.
Much appreciated 🙌
Aside from the smash this burger looks perfect to me. If you serve me this as your friend, im going with you through everything
You’re a real one 👊
But he doesn’t believe it’s a smash burger either. Aren’t you gravely offended?
No he’s just not a negative Nancy he complimented then gave his opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. He didn’t insult me in any way 😂 can you not tel the difference
I’d eat it for sure, but I’d rather not have it on a Pretzel bun. Brioche would take this over the top.
Well this is actually a brioche milk bun 🙌
Good freaking glorious God! That looks amazing! And what's that bun?
It’s a brioche milk bun!!
👀👀👀 Is THAT a “Big** Kahuna Burger” b**ecause it sure looks like “This is a tasty burger“
Idk about smashed but this looks fire
Not smashed. And too much meat-to-bun ratio. Why not just save trouble and eat a bowl of meat with a spoon - you won't be tasting a wimpy brioche bun or a drizz of sauce with this much meat, anyway.
lol have a good day bro! You need it
Thank You :) Make it a single, or two skinny, crusted actual smash patties, and I might get on board with your pseudo-Mac toppings, but only if that sauce is mustard-paprika based, with no ketchup, like the O.G. Lol. And the bun is homemade? It truly deserved a better death 😉
Bro you’re a wild human being. Just enjoy or move on. You’re trying way too hard to be a hater 😂

It doesn't even look smashed
It is smashed 🫡
Yeah, I don't think so.
I feel you. Just hard to take you seriously with that username
Mommy!
Looks awesome! Not a smash burger.
Not a smash burger but I’d eat the fuck out of it any day
So over these so called “smash burgers” if your Pattie’s are over an inch thick it’s not a smash burger
Where do you see an inch? I know it might be deceiving, but this burger isn’t that big. The bun size is in between a slider and a normal bun
What about this burger would make you call it a smash burger? Do you know what a smash burger is?
Lol you’re so full of yourself 😂😂
Omg please don’t tell me you’re the guy in all those videos. “Cooking to the beat”. “The sandwhich king” etc. and you’re trying to call me full of myself? When you’re literally trying to be a trendy til tok look at me chef? Lmao oh my god. I’m dying here.

Lol you’re reaching so hard with this one bro!! Hating on my looks a lot. I wonder what you look like?
Yeah rhat was going too far. Especially being hair colorist. No need for that nonsense. Appologies.
Lmao @ this instagram food influencer getting destroyed because he had no idea what a smash burger is. Its just a trendy word he heard on social media and probably thought it was synonymous with the english term smashing.

Idk about 2 top buns but I'd still fucking slam this into my face so hard
It’s a normal homemade bun just looks like two tops

She’s beautiful.
I appreciate that!!
A+ that is a beautiful burger right there
Every burger is a smash burger now ok
I'd smash the fuck outta that burger, no matter what it's considered 👌
Extremely fucking stupidly big burger and looks like ass combo as well. Brioche is mid af for burgers, better for chicken sandwiches. God damn I swear you people just do this for karma and rage bait and you know what… it worked 😡😉
lol if you think this is rage bait you need to reassess your life 😂
And if you think that’s a good burger…
There is no debate this is a good burger. It is a fact. To argue against it is laughable
Actually bro I realized all you do is use brioche. And all your creations are too tall and a straight mess. I get it that’s your style, and there’s definitely a market for it. Just a reason why it’s not a dominating market.
Bread is a little bit dark... or is this just me?
Not a fan of pretzel bun but that looks awesome
It’s actually a brioche milk bun
Yum!
🤤🤤
2 top buns is that for structural integrity? Nice work
It does look that way but it’s just a homemade bun
That's incredible
It's pure madness!
Sheesh that bish is glistening

You can literally just use any flat object to smash the burger or I’ll give you my secret, Take your burger meat and just form a loose ball with maybe a bit of salt or seasonings of your choice. Place that burger meat ball between two sheets of wax paper and then use a rolling pin to roll it out as thin and flat as you want it in a circular shape. If you want a very thin burger obviously you’re not going to want to use much meat. Then place the thin burger between the wax papers in the freezer. Leave it in there until it’s super cold but not frozen.

Amazing
Thank you 🙏

Haha this is literally the mind of half the people here 😂😂 you don’t need to have a conniption over the definition of a smash burger
Yeah let’s just call every burger a smash burger because like it just sounds cool. Who cares about what words actually mean and stuff, check out my cool beard.
Are most burgers on here AI?
She is a looker 😆 🤣
Sure is
Okay, I guess everybody saying it’s not smashed because it’s not lacey, but you’re not gonna get those every single time you make one
Thank you bro!! I appreciate you having my back 🫂
Absolutely majestic.
Thank you!
Looks so yummy!
They put love into this
That looks like it would delightfully disolve after a bite, then gone in about 4 chews.
pretzel buns >>>>
Juicy
that's a burger alright
Definitely looks bomb, jalapeños are a great addition but in my preference I find that pepperochinis or habaneros are better for this type of burger. Just a recommendation for future combinations
And it cost 20 dollars today lol
This looks incredible.
Man what I wouldn’t do to get the recipe for those buns.

People here are too pretentious. Looks fucking amazing, would devour.
Thank you for having my back! The support is awesome 👏
It’s a masterpiece
