    You won't regret it. My only complaint is that while I have the egg open smashing, flipping, cheesing, etc all the air get the coals to about 1000 degrees. I had a hard time getting to a spot where I could flip them without burning the crap out of my hand from the inferno coming up around the griddle. Still awesome and gloves will fix it for next time but be aware.

    Funny how opinions differ. I made these last week on my cast iron griddle and my wife's comment was " they're ok, but if I wanted a skinny fried burger I would just go to steak and shake". Oh well.

    I found the perfect tool at Smart & Final in San Diego for $7.50.



    I used a cast iron griddle I found at Target last year, and left the ground meat very loosely formed.





    No way I had time to take a photo of the burger. It went too fast! OMG, it was so delicious.

    I used mayo on the bun and next time I'll mix it with mustard. Don't overload it with toppings, as others have said, keep it simple or you won't taste the wonderful caramelization. DELICIOUS!

    Try smashed burger on the half shell, the shell being a portabella mushroon.

    Awesome. Still haven't done these but definitely will very soon. Thanks for the reminder. Great post.

    @Judy Mayberry, try this for your next smash burger (or otherwise for that matter). Mix together 1 tablespoon mayo, 1/2 tsp dijon, some chopped chives. Adjust mayo/dijon proportions to taste, but that should be about right. Spread on both halves of a grilled bun. Top burger with Swiss cheese and caramelized onions. That is all.

    Wear a bib and have someone standing by with an oshibori. You can thank me later. ;)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Wow, Michael...that is REALLY spot on. I always order my burgers with grilled onions anyway. And I made a potato gratin from an forum recipe yesterday so I have plenty of gruyere left. I'll keep a damp clean dishcloth ready to mop up with.

    I have a very coarse Microplane grater that makes big shreds of cheese and they melt perfectly.
