Made these today on the BS. Absolutely the best burgers I’ve ever had. Very easy too.

    he put the cheese on the lower bunn, it helps the cheese cement the burger to the lower bunn, less slipping around. theres no real reason to even melt the cheese on the griddle, the cheese melts enough when assembling. onions up

    Looking good! What fat content did the beef have? My Costco has nothing fattier than 88/12 unfortunately.

    Cheater tip - for smashing the ball, you can press directly on top of your spatula with your hand. It's not hot yet.
    I butter the bottom of the spatula so that the meat doesn't stick.

    That’s a good idea. I used a thick stainless steel burger smasher and a little sheet of butchers paper on these.

    I use a piece of parchment paper between the meat and the spatula. No worries about it sticking.

    I have a stainless builders trowel, you can press as hard as you like. A wipe with an oiled tissue before smashing and a sideways motion when lifting works to avoid sticking.
