Tip from a really old griddle/grill cook. Use non-stick aluminum foil on your smash press thingy. Wrap it around the smasher with the dull side down. You'll never need wax or parchment paper again. I've done 24 smash burgers at a time with non-stick aluminum foil on my heavy, cast iron smash press without having to change it out. Try it.
I will thanks for the tips...
Absolutely right. Parchment paper is a waste of time and money.
That’s a great tip. Thanks!
Why do you need anything at all? I have no idea that you had to put something your smashing tool!
@@bradleytenderholt5135 evidently meat sticks to the 'ol smasherelli
When I was a kid back in the 60's growing up in Eugene, OR, I would follow my neighbor on his John Deere tractor while he plowed. One rainy day my Mom made me a burger on white bread with mustard and salt/pepper and lettuce. Old George and I sat in the rain and had lunch next to his tractor. Best burger ever and the memory will never fade.
Sometimes thats the greatest kind.....memories...thanks for going down memory lane
I put mustard on there before I cook it I cook a lot outside so I rub the mustard on then put my seasonings It acts sort of like a binder but it tenderizes it and makes them juicy I smoke the patties about two hours really low temperature then turn the heat up and let them sear for a few minutes each side Best burgers you ever had
@@user-ct4im4nd6rhmm smoked hamburders I may have to give that a shot.
I know this is an old comment thread but that brought back some awesome memories. My grandmother would always make up a bunch of burgers in cast iron pan, wrap them in paper or foil, load them all up in a playmate cooler and bring them out to us where we'd be on the tractor, cuttings trees or whatever we happened to be doing. Usually on a bun but sometimes on quite bread. I've been trying to duplicate those burgers for years. I've come close but I haven't quite achieved it yet.
@@WalkerSmallEnginePerformanceyou missing one ingredient, grandmas love
I like how you didn't just list the mistakes but you demonstrated them
Yeah I give credit to my wife..all her idea...she said imagine being on her side on the griddle and watching a video on how...then you try and mess up...etc....
Thank you for using the word plethora, it means a lot.
😂
Perfect video for all levels of griddlers. A great training and coaching video for smash burgers. Adding garlic Texas toast really adds to it as well.
uuuuuggggghhhhhh thats a great idea....texas toast patty melts
Neil and Amy thanks for all you do for this community. Your advice and guidance is always appreciated
Thanks so much Tim...we appreciate that...
Is the griddle electric?
@@lindahubbard5454 no they are propane griddles for outdoors, however electric griddles are made for inside and can produce the same
Took a break from the video 20:04. Made my first smash burgers, including toasting the white bread, on the 6th use of our two burner Blackstone griddle. The 93% lean meat (with a few drops of peanut oil) performed perfect as per your instructions. Thanks! Next time will be to add slices of cheese along with a topping of sauteed onions, to suit.
Hey thats great hear...yeah just use it as a canvas...make a burger sauce change up cheeses...ect..have a blest with em
Thank you for the tips. I just bought a Blackstone Griddle and this was my first time making smash burgers. Because of this video, I made the best burgers I have ever had in my life! My wife and kids loved them too!
man thats what is all about....thanks for letting us know Tyson
God. you have captured my desire to cook. I recently, (2 days ago), got a gridd;e to convert my gas grill to a griddle. you helped me with seasoning my griddle. My first breakfast today and it was ok. My wife didn't like my cooking on an iron griddle that she saw me seasoning it. Today she tasted my griddle chicken and she loved it. if it wasn't for you, she would not touch anything I did. now that the griddle is black and up to par. Now she is willing to trust me. That means she is willing to trust you. We are a hit with here. She wants me to make the smachburger tomarrow. you are the greatest.
Ralph what a comments....that music to my ears....you know they say happy wife happy life...really appreciate that...
Man I wish I would have found your channel sooner. I got my first 36” griddle last week, seasoned it up and was so pumped for smash burgers and I completely botched it. Watching this video I literally made all of the mistakes you listed and showed minus having a group of people over, just the wife and kids. Thanks for showing what it takes and demonstration!
Hey thanks for the support..yeah thats what we are about trying to teach you how to get better faster to help ya enjoy griddle cooking more...
Same. Just tried my griddle out with some smash burgers, and them shits broke apart quicker than the League of Nations. It was a massacre. All my friends I had invited over for it laughed at me. I haven't been that embarrassed since high school.
@@guymcperson4330 "them shits broke apart quicker than the League of Nations" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I need all the knowledge. Starting my burger business in 2024@@TheFlatTopKing
I love the whole white bread thing! We very seldom had buns for anything! It was always white bread!
Yeah absolutely...surprising more people dont do it..Sliced White bread for us was for everything...
Funny how as a kid I hated a burger on white bread it was like being punished but now I do it now and then just because!
Sliced white bread was great for poor mans pizza too
@@Johnfor3 I remember getting teased for having no burger buns for my patty when I brought a burger to school.
I’ve never made them, and I don’t have a griddle. But the other night I thought I’ll try a smash burger like you make. I just did what you always do, but in a pan and made do with what I had. Turned out great! Also wanted to add, the fact you always SHOW what to do, personally helps me a lot. Thanks!!!
Hey in one of the videos mentioned we did that...smash burgers for beginners...
we used a cast iron pan to simulate if you dont have a griddle
Thanks for the kind words,,,
@@TheFlatTopKing oh! i missed that one!! thanks, gotta watch that!!
I agree about the speed comment. Not only for this meal but for everything on the flat top. That’s one thing that took me by surprise is how fast and hot this thing cooks. Definitely have to have all of your prep done and ready to go.
Exactly!!
I use a 6" drywall knife as my "spatula" to flip the burgers. Never had a tearout and works flawlessly every time. I found those long spatulas have a learning curve and this method takes the guess work out of it.
interestingggg
I use something that is similar but it's actually designed for use on a griddle. It looks like a normal spatula in terms of the handle but the tool itself is a stubby rectangle with really sharp edges on all sides. This is what they use in most commercial smashburger restaurants from what I've seen and of course it works perfectly every time. Also I've seen in the commercial kitchens they always paint the griddle with a little bit of butter first which gives a much better browning effect... A darker color that's more caramely while still not overcooking the burger.
I use a 5" wall putty blade (for food only, of course) as a flipping tool. Run that sucker over a sharpening stone a few times and it gets every bit of crust on the flip. And it's cheap enough where when it gets old and ready to throw out, you're only out about $7.
Problem with not using foodgrade or foodsafe is some of the marerials used. The putty knife may contain unsafe levels of lead or other toxic metals. Just a thought, your family, your kitchen, your rules.
We made smash burgers for the first time last night. After watching this video a few times, they came out PERFECT. I have been watching your videos for a few winks since we decided to buy a Blackstone. You make this look easy and made me feel confident in making them. Thank you for what you do!
Robert...thats music to my ears...thanks for reaching out..really appreciate it...
Such a timely video for me! I made smash burgers the night before your video posted. a couple turned out okay, but most did not. I then saw your video post...watched...learned!!! Tried again the same day and success!!! All comments were MUCH better. TY for helping. I have been a home cook for most of my 49 years... yet I learn lots from you guys. Your channel has quickly become my favorite! Love the interaction between you two :) So adorable. Keep the videos coming. Blessings to you and yours this holiday season!
Hey Amy cant thank you enough for your kind words and support...Happy Holiday season to you and your family as well
1. Grille is not hot enough
2. Proper technique- smash and HOLD the burger for a second don't just smash and instantly release pressure, you won't get an even cook across the entire patty.
3. Flipping too soon-wont get mayard reaction (not sure if I spelled mayard correct but its the reaction that makes the *crust* of the burger)
4. Take care when flipping, you need to "scrape" (with the spatula flush to the surface as to not damage the flattop) the burger off the griddle.
5. Over cooking the burger, have everything ready so you don't overcook while trying to season and assemble other ingredients. Start small, don't try and make 8 burgers at once your first cook, start with one at a time and once you get into a rhythm and have a feel for how long things take work up from there.
6. Too large of a patty, you want balls of meat that will squish thin without being so large they won't fit on a standard bun.
Learned so much from this video, thank you! Just got my blackstone about a month ago and planning on doing smash burgers tonight
Great Video, I am using my Weber griddle for the first time today, Memorial Day, and cooking up smash burgers for my friends of 50 years. We are both Vets from the 70s. This will help me not to screw up my first cook off. Thank You for your service!
First thank you for your Service...and your friends..thanks for commenting and Happy Memorial Day as well...Cheers
Thanks for the 1/3 cup measure tip! It was also good to see the lacing. I've done smash burgers once and it was a fail. This encourages me to try again. :)
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful...just try one at a time and learn as ya go...easy once you get a hang of it
Neal you are a natural or well trained instructor. I’ve been grilling for decades but new to the griddle. You teach so many techniques that I’ve improved rapidly on food my wife and I enjoy. You and Amy keep up the great work and I’ll keep learning 😅
Thanks Jim that means a lot...of course you have no idea where you see yourself in life especially starting something new and I can guarantee I didn't see myself here ......but here I am and really love it
@@TheFlatTopKing poo
When I first started watching some of Neal’s videos I picked up on his delivery technique. I knew he had some sort of exposure to naval training.
His presentations are exactly how the nay delivers trading; intro, description of subject matter, person experience, content delivered with “matter of fact” (confidence), explanation of the critical do’s and don’t s, conclusion and results. Most of all Neal’s passion makes the videos top notch.
On the other side of the camera, Amy is also incredible. Timely prompts to ensure important tidbits are not missed and he camera work is fantastic.
I just bought my Blackstone griddle last week. We've done a few simple things but thank you for teaching us the right way to do burgers. Can't wait to do these for my son this weekend!!!! Thank you, from beautiful Tulsa, OK.
hey thats great...great way to the the family together...biggest thing is to try one at first to get the hang of it...you can learn a ton just by the first one...
Thank you man! You nailed it for me because I struggle with these.
good to hear...lets us know when you nail it...
I just did my very first smash burgers following your teachings. I was so confident in what I leared I rolled out about 17 balls. I did one first, turned out perfect, then I did two, then I worked up to three. Mine looked just like yours and I seasoned one side. I was careful to dig for the crust. I think they turned out reallly good, just very slightly over seasoned. I'll back off that a little next time. I had a double and my youngest daughter had a single. Tasted alot like a Wendy's burger, which I think is good. I'm really happy because I've NEVER cooked, and this is great. Clean up wasn't even too bad.
Hey thats so awesome...plus the ability to maybe get your daughter involved as well as she loves some of the food you will be able to cook now...
bro how have you mad it this far without every cooking - true survivor grifter right there
@@XeNeXX I didn't start really getting into cooking until I was 30. I was a late bloomer in life, and aside from lots of camping (I worked seasonally in logging) and couch surfing at friends/family, I didn't fully move out of my parents until 28....too long of a story for here.
My mom was a real annoying bit*h about me using her kitchen, so I just avoided it never really bothered getting into cooking much, except for basic stuff such as frying eggs/potatoes and such. I also was ignorant of how easy it is to start learning how to cook, so I didn't have confidence in my abilities. But now I love cooking and have learned alot in the last 8 years.
Thankful to say my first couple of times I didn’t make that many of these mistakes. The one I was guilty of on my second run though was making too many at once. Makes for one chaotic scene-especially if you’re hosting! 😮 BUT, overall mine were a success.
Thats awesome..yeah they happen fast thats for sure
Thank you. I have been cooking on my grill for over 4 years and love it. I thought my food was good and people love it but after watching you videos especially this one my food is at my level of liking thank you for all the little things that are to easy to overlook and giving the food that little bit extra that makes that final pro taste.
Thanks Rob...well said...cheers
I bought a commercial 16 inch Avantco electric griddle for $230. It takes a while to heat up but it works incredibly well and things like worrying about the right temperature are never a worry. I set it to 425, let it heat up for 25 min or so, and proceed to make incredibly delicious smash burgers.
The grill plate of the commerical griddle is nearly 3 times as thick as my Blackstone... and it makes a huge difference in the cook.
Great tips! The only thing I do differently is mix my seasoning in a small bowl so I can use my hand to sprinkle it rather than deal with the individual seasoning bottles.
I mix my seasoning into the meat before I make the balls. Works just fine.
Just make sure you season just as you're ready to start cooking
A huge thank you - just had my first attempt at smashed burgers after watching your video. Everyone loved them some saying ‘best ever’ ❤👍🍔🍔🍔
Fantastic bud...truly...nothing better than the feeling hearing that
Thanks so much! First cook in my Blackstone and first Smash Burger. I made a nice warm slaw with broccoli, cabbage, and mushrooms for on top and on the side.
Had some trouble with getting the first few off the griddle but then I got the hang of it. They were a big hit with my husband, his twin, and Cosmo the cow herding pit bull.
Thanks again!
Hey thats awesome to hear....thanks for sharing..
Me and my wife made smash burgers for the first time tonight. These tips helped a ton.
Awesome job explaining everything, Smashburgers are amazing when done right!! Great Video!!
Hey thanks bud...you got that right...
Ive practiced making smash burgers so many times that i had completely forgotten some of these problems that i definitely had as well. I just pushed through with just trying it a thousand times haha if all else fails practice makes perfect!
Thanks for sharing!!
I needed this video. When I made smashburgers for the first time, they did indeed suck. I saw a couple mistakes I made in this video. The second time around I got them pretty good. And they got better yet the third time. Learn from mistakes and keep at it.
Man thats music to my ears...thanks so much for commenting..
Great video guys! Thanks!
I'm a line cook in chicago ; after the owner of the restaurant took my 6 hours of overtime and spread it out throughout my paystubs so he couldnt pay me overtime, it made me realize even through i basically did all the prep, employee relations, kitchen set up, deep clean, I realized i can run my own resturant if i tried thnk you for these tips
So much unnecessary information.
try paying people time and 1/2 overtime while running a business ... see if your still operational
@@blockthis08lmao sounds like you can’t manage a business properly. if you can’t pay employees properly you shouldn’t be in business
There ya go, let the crooked boss go his own way.
@@bbcbandit5695 not talking to you
Great video! I usually go about 2oz for my patties. 3 tops, depending on how much I have to use. I like the smaller patties since it's better to stack them up. :D
Definitely on board with that...
I’m from Wisconsin, and we did all those things with white bread, also (including, stretch your hamburger with it).
Now I make buns form sctrach, and my family goes wild for those, since they taste like croissants, but still make loaves of white bread occasionally.
Great video! Thanks for demonstrating the mistakes!
Thanks for all the examples, this was very informative.
Thanks for watching Brody....
You guys are awesome. Thanks for this video. I’m new to the game and have made some great Oklahoma onion smash burgers. Need to try the mallard reaction without the onions in the way! I see you’re using the rectangular smasher. Why not the 8” round one? Thanks for all your videos. I love the Flat Top King (and Queen 😊)!
Hey thanks Tim...honestly when I was looking for one I knew I wanted rectangle bece other than burgers most food has a rectangular shape...ribeyes., chicken breast, bread etc...
You can tell the heat of the grill with the palm of your hand. The number of seconds you can hold your hand over the heat at 4 inches will give you your heat. Also, use the bottom of a sauce pan to mash the burger down. Just moisten the bottom of the pan and push down and give a slight twist. One minute on the first side 30 seconds on the second.
Just tried the sauce pan trick. Worked like a charm! Only issue I have is I only have stainless steel and plastic spatulas. So a lot of brown stays behind
You can tell it's hot enough when you put your hand on the flattop and can only hold it on there for .2 seconds
The bread worked exactly the same in our house growing up. I now do it to my kids without even thinking lol love all y’all’s videos! Great content keep bringing ‘em bud!
That is awesome! Thanks Jesse...
In New England in the 70's The Friendly's ice cream franchise was making their griddle burgers on toasted white bread. They were to die for.
The OG
thats awesome..amazing the hate in the comments from doing this....just makes me laugh.....they dont have a clue
As usual, great tips bro! I will have to keep some of these in mind when shooting future smash burger videos!
Thank you for this. I have people ask me all the time about their smash burgers and this video takes the explanation out for me. I can just share your video. 👍
YES SIR....that would be great...thanks Steven
Great video! Love your content. Ice been griddling for a while, and have had some issues like you discussed. Love the content! Appreciate you and your help! Griddle on!
Awesome, thank you! Really appreciate the support...
Great "technique tips" in this video...much appreciated! I agree with you...good bread is better than BAD burger buns. At the end, when you gave Amy a bite...she sounded like she was enjoying it so much..great job! Happy holidays to you and your family!
Hey thanks so much...Happy Holiday to your family as well...thanks for the support
Some good tips. I didnt have a grill or smasher so I improvised. I found 2 mins first side and 1 minute final side. The foil worked great. I just need better equipment now. Thanks!.
Sounds great!
I got my first flat top yesterday and made these, probably made half the mistakes but going to perfect them for this Summer. Got a new subscriber, I could watch your videos all day.
Well I truly appreciate that...really do..thank you
Made smash burgers for the first time today following all your tips. They turned out perfectly tender and juicy. This will now be my go to method for burgers. Thanks for the great video.
Great to hear! Thanks for commenting...
Neal, love you guys and what you’re doing! I look forward to all of your content. You have helped make me a better cook. I’m paying forward to my friends and family. Thanks again!
Thank you....much appreciated
I've definitely made a few of the mistakes you mentioned here, biggest one is rushing and not letting it come up to temp, just need to be more patient, looking at the difference in your burgers really shows just how important it is.
Absolutely...when making multiple it might be necessary to put down on fresh spots as well...
Thank you very informative
Just subscribed to the channel because I'm just starting up on the griddle . Looking forward to more informative videos like this one and mastering the smash burger and other recipes. All the best to you both 👍🍔
Really appreciate that..
I am just getting started with my new built in Blackstone grill and have learned a lot from Y'all today. Thank you very much and am looking forward to cooking my first smash burgers!
Hey Congratulations....thanks for the support
I watched your video over the weekend and tried making these burgers for the first time yesterday and they were freaking delicious 😋! Thank you!
Hey that so awesome...thanks for support
This video has to be the best tutorial I’ve ever seen Neil! So many videos about smash burgers but no one teaches anyone the dynamics of making one
Well to be honest RIch...I appreciate that...i try to look at it from the other side...i really enjoy this journey and now that I have a year under my belt Its nice to be able to relate to the audience...and its hard sometimes not to get extremely hard recipes because most of the audience I would be abandoning...I try to do some stuff in stages
@@TheFlatTopKing I know you do that’s why I love your videos. You really do try to help your viewers out and also make ass kicking food.
@@richbennett6577 👊
I watched a couple of your videos, and I made Smash burgers for the first time Saturday on a small griddle on our stove top. They weren't perfect but they tasted amazing. I'm on Amazon purchasing your favorite spatula. I may end up buying a flat top grill this summer!!!
They thats awesome...Best thing about learning different things in food is you still get to eat it all..hahahah...If and when you get to that point and need help just reach out if we can help...thanks
Thank you for this video. These tips and techniques will make the difference for me. My smashburgers were OK, but now I think I can make them excellent.
You are so welcome, glad it was helpfull
Thank you for the tips. I agree with you on the buns. Most hamburger buns just suck. I was raised on burgers made on light bread and it is my preference too.
haha Thanks David...
Thank you for this video starting my very first smash burger food truck! You just gave me a boost of confidence!
That is awesome! Good Luck
I have a cast iron griddle for my gas grill. Love the channel. Thanks for the info.
Awesome....I actually just reviewed a Weber gas grill and griddle insert...very very pleased
Great video thanks! You've just helped me avoid a bunch of mistakes...and I hear ya on the white bread "versa-bun"..:)
Just found this channel as I'm in the market for a griddle. I saw a trick somewhere, maybe it was Diners Drive-In's and Dives, that you put a hunk of cheddar cheese on the burger, then shoot it with water around the sides and put a dome over it. Makes that toasted cheese around the patty. It's different but very tasty (did it in a skillet on the stove though).
Absolutely....its called a cheese skirt...I like em...the cheese creates a skirt and crunchy...
Smashing great tips!
You all are the best! I cannot wait to try this again, I did but didn't get that crust.
Thank you....good thing is when you practice this you get to eat it..ahahahha just takes around 425 to 450 ish....then 3 oz balls....then press and hold for 10 ish sec....then wait till its about 75 percent cooked through...flip and go...
Thank you brother!
Using the standard piece of white bread is awesome 👍
Yes sir....so versatile for sure...cheers
Im here bc im making my very first smash burger for dinner tonight. Since i dont have a griddle and am using a 10 inch cast iron skillet im afraid i wont have enough room to smash it correctly. I think i may pre smash it and fry it like that. Ur video was very helpful and so easy to understand so i thank u for that. I also subscribed and am on my way to check out other videos. Wish me luck with my burgers !!!!
Good luck...if you get a chance we actually have a smash burger video that has the words no griddle required....we actually made them in a 10 cast iron..check out smash burgers for beginners
new subscriber. you’re my man for griddle cooking moving forward!
thank u
Hey Joni....thats awesome...much appreciated and welcome to the family
You make it look easy! You are indeed a Grill Master.
Thanks Jeff....
Great video brother and thank you for your knowledge for sure! 👍
Hey thanks for the support
Great video. I and many other appreciate the effort and knowledge that went into sharing this information. I thank you. I am now a better ham burgerlar because of this video.
ahhahahaha great pun....
Thanks Flat Top King for the tips, i found your video informative and it was good to see the mistakes made, not just read a list of them.. and i know it will help alot with my own venture, thanks again!
Thanks Peter...appreciate that
Thanks for your help.. I’m just a beginner willing to learn
anytime
Made smash burgers for Super Bowl party, made some of these mistakes, but everyone loved them.
Great video!
Great to hear David....
Thank you both 💯💯💯
Thank you!
I don't have a griddle yet but these tips should work on my big cast iron. Thanks
You bet
That white bread is THE move! We call that a “patty melt” where I grew up. 💣 And I agree that sliced white bread is the home chef’s best friend. Didn’t even realize when we were young that our parents were just trynna give us something substantial but save money, because they made it so fun to look at bread and say “how can we make this work for this meal tonight?” I used to toast it and throw butter and syrup on it like my own quick version of French toast before leaving for school. Best smash burger tutorials I’ve seen are on your channel!
Worth watching!
#1 griddle not hot enough
#2 burger not properly smashed
#3 flipping the burger too soon
#4 spatula error: not getting all the crust off the griddle
#5 cooking burgers for too long
#6 your ball of meat is too big
Really well done presentation. Stuff I never knew as well. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Delicious video! Bravo!
I never would have none that Technique. Excited to try on my flat grill.
Thanks Henry...reach out if we can help
Good video. Thank you.
Not a big fan of excessive bread on a burger/sandwich.
Thin white browned in garlic butter works for me.
Dude, that looks amazing, thanks for sharing. Love it on white bread.
Absolutely Scott...definitely brings back memories
Excellent tips and video, watched and then watched some others and came back here to comment due to yours being so informative.
