  • Hi everyone!! Sorry for not uploading Blackstone content but hopefully today’s video makes up for it! We’re making everyone’s favorite Blackstone food. Yup you guessed it... SMASH BURGERS!!
    In this video I share my method of making this type of burger. There’s a lot of videos on CZcams about this topic but hopefully this one is unique and covers some things other videos miss. Also, its easy to make one or two burgers on a huge 36” Blackstone but in this video we’re making 6 huge 5 oz patties on a 22” Blackstone. It’s very possible, just need to be a little efficient in your preparation. In fact I’ve made up to 9 patties on the 22”. Don’t be afraid, it’s possible!!!
    Also if you enjoyed this video don’t forget to like and comment below. If you really really enjoyed this video then please subscribe to our channel and we’ll create more Blackstone content for your enjoyment!!
    And lastly, we welcome feedback! We’re always looking to learn New tips and tricks so if any of you have any pointers you’d like to share feel free!! I’m not an expert by any means and I’m always open to learning new ideas!!
    Enjoy!!

      I think the only thing I would reconsider is using waxed paper on heat because of the tendency for the wax paper to melt or chip. Parchment paper may be more suitable for this purpose since it is more heat resistant. Otherwise wonderful video

    Hello I’m a chef, I like your method of placing the top bun on the burger while it’s still on the flattop. I have a piece of advice for your bun toasting method, I have two bun toasting methods, one, I put 4x as much butter on the flattop as you did. Second method, I use zero butter or oil, make sure the flattop is clean as a whistle, and in one smooth motion, put the bun on the flattop and apply gentle pressure with your hand for 5 seconds, this ensures that the entire surface of the bun is toasted evenly.

      I don't understand. You say you use 4x the butter on the flat-top, then you say use zero butter or oil and a clean flat-top. If you're gonna hand out advice that nobody asked for (which, for the record, is a dick move) at least don't contradict yourself.

    The biggest thing I learned about my grill was to get a stainless steel cookie cooling rack to put on one side of the grill. I cook my burgers first along with some bacon or beef bacon. Then when they are close to done I put them on the rack to finish, add cheese to melt and stay warm. Then I will clean off the grill, then toast the buns. Once done toasting then I build my burgers while the buns are hot off the grill...

  • @The_Good_Life_starts_today

    Simple video, thanks! Because of the sugar content, brioche buns will toast twice as fast. I personally use bacon grease (or tallow) to sauté mushrooms/onions. One last note is to add seasoning to the meat prior to rolling into balls. If you like spicy, add some minced jalapeno!

  • @bloozedaddy
    @bloozedaddy Před 2 lety +44

    Clarified butter or beef talow. Regular butter burns at high heat. If you like the nutty overtone it's fine but if you're just looking to make it nonstick with butter flavor you go clarified so the milk solids don't burn. Bacon fat also is a nice mix-in. 👍 Also.. Your buns will have a more consistent toast instead of mostly edge if you lightly butter the bun instead of putting the butter on the grill because buns generally aren't perfectly flat. Push down on them slightly after a few seconds. Nice approach on everything else. I agree on not going too thin... 3-4 ounces tops

    Just started making my smash burgers since we don't have back yards here and just got my iron pan, which is not very popular here also.
    I will definitely go with your gentle press technique because that's what I did the second time and those burgers were much better than the others. And I love the seasoning, I have all the spices except onion, will definitely try that too.

    Great video! I love griddling simple, smart, and fresh, and your video does that! I recently saw a griddler video where they cooked frozen store-bought burgers....I almost cried. So easy to make a fresh, delicious burger; no idea why a griddler would allow pre-made burgers or hashbrowns touch their griddle.
    I prefer my patties 3 ounces per and make my burgers doubles.
    Like the idea of watching the bubbling on the top of the burger.
    Not sure how I feel about the top bun pre-installed on top of the cheese; I prefer to put the pattie on the bottom bun-just my preference. I also found doming the cheese helps with the melting and keeps moisture, then add the second pattie on top of the pattie with cheese.
    Not sure if you mentioned this or not, but I find that medium ground beef produces the most delicious smash burger!
    Keep griddling and keep sharing! I love learning new techniques and sharing my own. I love the comment section of these videos, as that is where the learning happens.
    P.S. like the wax paper carton for smashing. I have had the cooking sheets catch fire on me during the smashing...lol

    I mean you just made a normal burger which looks delicious btw. Real smash burgers are smashed down twice as much. You will see the griddle thru parts of the meat. And there is reason for that. The cheese will hold it together and you usually make doubles because of the thinness of the patty after smashing it. The whole point is to get a crust on the meat. Good job on these, but technically, it’s just a normal burger. You’re not getting the full Maillard reaction on these.

    Not too bad for a beginner I guess. Rule number one for a good, tasty crust is to NOT use any oil butter. Ask anyone that’s been doing these for any amount of time and they’ll tell you to start with a dry, smoking-hot surface. When you press them, they will will stick to the surface, which is very important. As far as toasting the buns, I prefer to use clarified butter on the bun directly. This grill is covered in residual burned butter. Not good. I’m not sure why you would want to obscure the meat with a piece of cardboard. You should be able to see what you are doing. A quick, hard press down and slide your spatula off to the side. Your end product looked good.

      Actually recently I’ve switched over to parchment paper (single) and it peels off much easier than the thick cardboard. I’ve never tried double parchment paper.

    1) The first time you say you flip after the juices come to the top, should these juices be red or clear before the first flip?
    2) Also, how do you know when the second side of the burgers is cooked and therefore to remove the burgers after you've already flipped them earlier?

      @adamscott1738 Před 2 lety

      @@cooltechno360 I work in a burger joint and the best way to do your burgers is to season them before you put them on the flat/hot plate. Once you have done that you don't need to butter or oil the plate for brioche buns because they are made with butter and will just get soggy to fast, then place the patties on the plate and smash them down and the amount of fat that comes out of the patties will stop them sticking. Depending on your size of the patties it will depend on the time of the cooking, normally 1-2 minutes each side is best, if you flip it to early its not the end of the world just flip back until ready. Steak burgers are still good to eat a little pink inside.

      No. This is the worst smash burger video ever. This isn’t a smash burger it’s a “smashed” burger.
      Don’t every use butter on a flat top. It burns.
      Do 2.5 oz patties get wax paper, smash them down hard and the pull the edges paper thin. Use his rub but add .5 part sugar and .25 part MSG.
      Don’t put you’re fucking buns on a 600 degree griddle either. They were burnt to shit.

    Many smashburger chefs and enthusiasts alike will tell you that you never use oil or butter when smashing. You want that meat to stick as much as possible so it doesn't swell or shrink into a standard griddle patty! That's also why a good scraping tool is so important.
    If you use a good grind with at least 20% fat, and get your cook surface to around 600°F, you can crush your patties paper-thin and they will still retain plenty of moisture. I do mine crushed and smeared to the point that you can see the griddle through the meat, and anyone who has tried one says it's easily one of the best burgers they've ever had. Never any complaints about dryness.
    thick, char-grilled burgers are DONE.
