Smash burgers and hand cut fries.

Fan-freaking-tastic. I really need to dust off the griddle and try this.

@scottnc you got it. 2oz and smash em flat on a scorching hot griddle. All that wonderful crust!

@legume break that bad boy out!

thanks all

You have totally out smash burgered me. Those look amazing. Are you cooking on high? Just how hot is the griddle? I think I underestimate the heat needed.

Great looking cook Jason!

Fantastic looking food. Two of our favorite things - burgers and fries.

@Thatgrimguy yes. Cooking on high and give it time to get really hot. Last time I used my ir and it was just north of 500. Dry griddle with at least 20% fat beef. I flip with a razor scraper because you want it to stick and build the crust.

Its a quick cook once it's prepped.

@theyolksonyou how do you smash? I use a concrete trowel, but I struggle with the meat sticking to my press.

I have tried spatulas, oil, hot, cold, etc. I have found smash and slight turn helps, but its not perfect.

@Ozzie_Isaac I use my turner and an old grill spatula for extra leverage. Also use a slight turn and they get a little misshapen.

@Ozzie_Isaac I was under the impression you kept to your roots and smashed them between a floor jack and a station wagon fuel tank....

I think I must have been dreaming about this thread.

Just had smashburgers yesterday, but they sounded good for a late breakfast today. Home made buns, ground sirloin, home made thousand island.
