Beginner Smash Burger on the Griddle --- Amy's 2nd griddle cook
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 06. 2024
- This beginner smash burgers on the griddle video shows my wife Amy's 2nd griddle cook (who absolutely can not cook) making smashburgers on the Blackstone griddle… This is her very first time ever cooking a burger, and only her second time ever cooking on a flat top grill. So if you want to learn from the mistakes of a true beginner, then this is the video for you… because she definitely makes some mistakes while making these griddle smashburgers!
Watch out for the super important griddle beginners tip right off the bat… how to turn on the griddle the safe way, and what NOT to do!
Were her smash burgers edible? Yes. Were they fantastic? No. Did I almost lose my life? Yes. But practice makes perfect… especially when you’re a flat top grill beginner.
Hope you guys pick up some good tips from watching her! Cheers! And thanks so much for 50,000 subscribers!

I'm going to rewatch this and take a shot every time one of you guys says GAHlee. I'll probably end up in the hospital
Hahhahaha! This literally made me laugh out loud! I'm a Southern girl, born and raised... so "golly" is definitely a big part of my vocabulary. :)
Rip💀
😂
Don’t stop talking in the background lady! That’s why I love this channel. It takes both of you to make this channel.
thanks John...
I love this. It’s so hard to cook under pressure. That’s why I’m still on the fence about filming. Great job Amy
Thanks Kelly! Neal makes it look so easy when he's in front of the camera... then there's me, the trainwreck. 😂 People always ask us how much footage we have to film for a 10-12 minute video, and honestly, it's only about 15 minutes or so... I think because Neal has such a good base of culinary knowledge and experience to pull from, he can speak and teach very easily when he's in front of the camera... so for him the filming part is a piece of cake. For me, not so much!
@@TheFlatTopKing girl. You are amazing!!!!! I have nothing but respect for you. You shine and make him shine ❤️
@@stonerscravings You should definitely make some videos. I think it's a great idea. 👍
@@TheFlatTopKing I’m guessing you do lion’s share of editing? We all have our strengths. Working together as a team is what it’s all about. That comes through loud and clear…. it’s foundation comes from decades of mutual respect. That genuiness can NOT be faked, although folks try.
Experience is king, that's just the bottom line! Get in there and have fun, its ok to make mistakes that's how you learn!
You guys ROCK! Thank you for your service Neil!
TY
Amy, never sell yourself short! Except for that small explosion in the beginning, you rocked that! Congratulations on hitting that 50K! Experience is your best teacher! Nicely done! Cheers y’all!
Thanks so much, Jay! Yes, it definitely takes practice... I'm figuring that out. Like I said in the video, Neal makes everything look so dang easy!
Yeah, it comes from experience! You'll get there, plus it's really nice watching you learn....and a lot of fun
Your wife is a sweetheart!! She’s doing good 👍🏻!!
Thanks Kent! I guess I get an "A" for effort and comedic performance. 😂
Great video - fan of Amy as she is so sincere and funny. And she did great on the griddle. Between this and the Mistakes video I am able to correct all the things I was doing wrong and my burgers are getting better. Had some friends over recently and they concluded: GREAT!! They said I am like a Seinfeld episode with the soup guy... " You suffer for your Smashburgers. Yes. That is right." And you guys do too.
ahhaahah thanks so much
This is my favorite video yet!!! You guys make me laugh, great job! I look forward to the pizza video😁
Thanks Rich! I've been telling Neal that I really want to try my flatbread pizza on the griddle (I make it a few times a month in the oven). :)
It was great to see a beginner do it. I've learned so much from your videos so far. I've attempted to make smash burgers twice on my grill and recently learned that I didn't do a few things correctly. Hats off to Amy for putting herself out there. Nice work. Mad respect ✌🏻
Thanks Vance...its amazing how for new people they can relate when seeing it ...that is typically the whole goal...try to put ourselves in your shoes and find a fix
This is what keeps me coming back to you guys videos FAMILY!!! and your not hogging the griddle your teaching real time stuff !! I literally watch and comment on hundreds of videos every day I commend the flat top family for the videos you all put out !!
This is AWSOME!! There’s nothing more IMPORTANT than FAMILY COHESIVENESS
👍🏾✌🏾🙏🏾
WOW....thanks so much. I really appreciate that,,,,
Good job on being safe guys... and for showing pitfalls for new cooks!!! Serious props!!
Thank you...good or bad
Thanks for the great video can’t wait to try it myself
Great job!!
Awesome!!! Great job Amy!!!
Thanks Paul! :)
You guys are awesome!! Love it!! Keep up the great work!!
I watched your Smash burger What Not to Do video and this one before I made my first round of smash burgers today. With your tips, mine turned out great. Ya'll are my favorite flat top cooking channel.
Hey thats music to my ears...thats awesome..thanks
Amy, you did a fantastic job! I remember my first smashburger, it felt like a race against time and I almost panicked forgetting about the cheese because I wanted those patties off the grill! LOL Happy 50K to you both and many more to come. Your videos are educational, personable, and fun to watch!
hey thanks for that...cheers to the next 50,000
One last thing I forgot. I do not have to dig to get crust off. The very first ones I did amd they looked better. Now they just come right up and darker. Again appreciate the help and looking forward to the shake that smash that and que that seasoning I ordered
Another great beginner video with Amy.
Awesome video. Love the education and family fun.
Thanks Eddie...
Your wife is not only has a great personality, she’s super pretty. You are a lucky man. Make sure you tell her that every day.
Well thank you....cheers
You guys are just awesome 😎
That was awesome!
Thanks Joe
I love this video
Awesome job
Just love your channel...Great tips & tricks..
TY
You folks are awesome! I bought a Blackstone and I love using it!
Good to hear! Thanks Terry
Great video, the Mrs is adorable and it's great you're doing this as a team.
Thanks Aaron! Glad you liked the video. :)
Thank you for this video!
Glad it was helpful!
Y’all’s videos are fun to watch. And learn a lot too!
haah Thanks Charles...we have a blast
Thank you! I purchased my black stone 36” original griddle after binge watching your channel. I’m hooked! I also ordered everything in your must have list! I’m stoked to receive it. ❤
Hey thats so cool...thanks for the support...reach out if we can help
This was fun! I will be glad to watch her anytime.
love how happy you guys got for the good burger crust :)
ahhaah Big step for her...hahaha today was burnt toast...aahahh
You being a newbie is a great teaching opportunity for us. When you’ve been doing it for a while you make it look easy and then when we try we’re wondering what we did wrong. I appreciate this.
You are so welcome! Thats why do things like this...
Great job Amy on your 2nd cook on the griddle!! Also congratulations on 50k subscribers!!
Thanks Brian we really appreciate your support
Classic! My wife and I are both Navy retirees ('98, '00) and we just retired permanently and a Blackstone was one of many retired gifts for us. Learning a lot from you (I feel better about my first smash burgers as they seemed to stick to the griddle, but now I know that it's normal, haha -- they were still great). Keep up the great content!
Hey first...thanks for your services...and thank you kindly...cheers
Just got my 28” Blackstone seasoned and for my first cook I did beef fajitas. Everything happened faster than I expected. Fortunately, from watching your videos, I had my ingredients prepped and ready and was somewhat expecting the transitions. Going to try the smash burgers next and then maybe a weekend breakfast. You two make a great team and you two are my instructors on my flat top griddle. Very entertaining and informative.
Hey that awesome to hear...seemed like you were prepared and on top of it...great job...the learning curve for you will be easy...
Impressive Amy!! Great job!!
Congrats on 50K!!!!
Thanks so much Tom!
Amy is awesome and adds a fun element to your channel when she cooks….. keep em coming…….
What a team! Big fun
thanks Harvey...appreciate your support...
Great video Amy. Your the best.
Thanks Harry! :)
GREAT to see Amy on the other side of the camera! You guys are awesome! Thanks for all the great content!
Thanks Kevin
Good job Amy! For someone that only "cooks" salad, you did great!
My favorite smashburger (or 8 oz. "blackened" burger) is seasoned w/ Sea Salt, Pepper, Garlic & Worchestershire Sauce, topped with carmelized grilled onions and bleu cheese crumble with a slice of gouda to hold it all in place with a little mayo and ketchup. Also, bleu cheese dressing is delicious w/ a steak.
sounds like a great smashburger....thanks
God bless her! I can relate with her because I to am new to cooking. I love cooking on my flat top and I’m learning. I recently found your channel and they really help. My son lives beside us and we love cooking together.
Hey that great...thanks for the support
Golly! good job! 😄
Congrats on your 50k!! great video and great job Amy!
thanks bud
Nice job!!
Go Amy! Awesome video! Congratulations on 50K!!! Thank you for making such great content!
Thanks so much!!
Awesome job Amy!! Neal is such a great role model when it comes to cooking that you are truly blessed to have had the opportunity to watch him cook like this for many years!! You're doing GREAT and DONT STOP. Can't wait to see the next generation " Your Daughters " having their camera time!! You did good Neal!! 🍻
Hey thats really a great comment Thank you
Great job Amy!! You guys are a perfect combo! 🤩😁❤
Thanks so much Hank! We really enjoy being able to do this together (most of the time 😉).
This was one of my favs!
Well I appreciate that....
👏👏👏 for the 50k!!!
Great watching Amy cook!
Thanks Stefan! It's definitely more of a comedy show than a cooking show when I get in front of the camera. :)
She is hilarious man! 😂😂
Amy is doing well, and I hope you smother her with positivity and what she does RIGHT. With time she will learn to be better with cooking. It's just something she's not used to doing. But she's a smart woman, and that cannot be taught. Go, Amy!!
Great Video.. Fun to watch
Glad you enjoyed it
@@TheFlatTopKing Just bought a Blackstone 22. Seasoned in four cycles of oil let it burn off etc, took over an hour. First cook bacon and all pieces stuck. Don’t believe it was to hot. I then cooked onions and rib-eyes with no problem. Just wondering your opinion on the bacon sticking. I did not put oil on for the bacon cause I didn’t think I had to .
great job griddle QUEEN!!! keep it up!! more videos!
thats the plan
Go girl you got this .
This was so much fun to watch and Congratulations on the 50k! Smash burgers is on my list of thing to do and am now more eager to try. I like the steak flavor idea sense I don’t get to eat those often. Thanks Amy!
Yay! Thank you!
Nice Job AMY, We need more of U Amy..
Working on it!
Great video!!!
thanks Bob...
Love this video. It should give us all the appreciation of how hard it is to actually cook, how much there is to learn and how much we can share with each other.
Glad you enjoyed it!
"Boom" Nailed it. Keep them coming.
Hahahahaha! No pun intended. :)
So appreciative of you taking 10% of.your video to describe how building up propane and igniting it will cause an explosion. Crazy how propane works!
Your wife's a great sport! Despite almost blowing you up, she still killed it!
hahahhah great play on words...
I enjoyed the video!! I am glad you guys didn’t get hurt when lighting the grill!!
ahhahhaha as are we....
Great job, Amy! Love the peanut gallery comments, Neil!
Thanks so much!
Great Job Amy! Nice crust too!
Thanks Brad! You can tell when I flipped the first one that Neal and I were both surprised! Haha! :)
Love your videos. Great information. Also Amy makes me laugh.
Glad you like them!
I really enjoyed this video.
Thanks Ron
I love your vids as so many creators try to make it absolutely perfect, love the reality !!
Thank you so much!
My wife cooks A LOT.....indoors on a stove top. She would be the same way on the Blackstone outside so don't worry Amy, the griddle outdoors is a different beast.
I make all the meals for my family of 4, but was starting to get complaints about my burgers, which is like the easiest meal I make. Now my smashburgers are getting rave reviews and honestly my last one was probably the best burger I ever ate! Thank you so much!
Well I really appreciate that...love hearing stories like this...thank you
Hey congratulations on 50k🎉🎈🎈🎈 - Awesome 👍
Thanks so much, Anne! We were super excited to hit 50k! :)
Well done Amy, fantastic burgers👏👏👏👏👍👍👍😎🇬🇧
Thank you H man
You go girl.... learning and trying something new. Proud of you!
Thanks Dianne...
Momas giving it a go, we have to hand it to her for trying. This would be equivalent to us guys trying to hand sew a blanket.
ahahahahha cheers
Amy did great! Nice job!
Thank you!
We have all done the delayed light and got the shock lighting, it was great you and Neal and went back and covered it as it is very common. Neal she is much better looking in front of the camera. This is great!! A true realistic first try and the quick time is sooo true of all new griddlers and some of us still, well done,
I Definitely married up...for sure..thanks bud
@@TheFlatTopKing BTW, tried the EMU in meat fajitas, they were outstanding in flavor and taste. Tasted just like a great steak. Also found a local meat processor that is stocking EMU so my bride can enjoy. Now if they just had some kinda bacon from that big chicken.
Great Job.
TY
Nice job 👍🏼 fun video
Thanks Joe! Glad you enjoyed the video... it was a fun one to make!
Great job
Thanks
You two are a great couple. Your videos are absolutely awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Lori! Glad you enjoyed it... we really genuinely enjoy working together, and I think that shows in our videos. :)
Just getting into using the griddle and that was a fun video.
Thanks John...we has a few more as well
Love y’all! Don’t be discouraged young lady, both of you guys make this channel great. Live and learn we’ve all made the same mistake with the gas 😂. Just got my griddle last week and have made quite a few of your recipes thx 🙏 for the recipes and tips.
I was telling my son "He needs to incorporate his wife in his videos" My son said that you have. So here it is I get to watch a video (been taking care of the wife due to hip replacement surgery). The first thing I noticed was over 50,000 followers and growing. Totally Awesome! Then there it is with this Smash Burger Video. I loved everything about this video in it being truly real, with nothing left out. Now I too when it came to the cheese on the grill was like "Girl clean that grill". Other than that she did an awesome job. I loved how she wanted to do her own burger, and I loved how ya'll left the little mess ups in the video. Really appreciated the beginning about the propane and what can happen. (Great Job explaining that) The other three things I took away from this video was her realizing how it's different than holding the camera. You helping her along while holding the camera. I might add I see her doing that for you sometimes when she is holding the camera. The last thing was you wanting to pursue that goat cheese smash burger to your tasting and style. Looking forward to maybe a "Three versions of a Smash Burger Video" Well it was different, but so much fun to watch. Ya'll do more of these as she did a great job. Stay who ya'll are and this channel will continue to grow. I cannot wait for the 100,000 followers cake. Just wondering what flavor that one will be. lol.
I really appreciate you taking time out to comment this..I deeply appreciate it.
As far as the cake if she has anything to do with it Im sure its going to be a 3 tiered wedding flavored giant cake....aahahaha just order the biggest one..
Your videos are great. This might have been your funniest one yet.
Glad you enjoyed it
Congratulations on 50k to a great team..love all your content and recipes that you bring on here🙌👍🏻. Thanks again and congratulations 🎉👍🏻🙌👌
Thanks so much Russ...
Great job Amy, you made me smile.
Then mission accomplished! I know that I can't cook, but if I can make you laugh and you can learn from my mistakes, then I'd call that a win! :)
Loved this one! If all goes well my replacement griddle gets here tomorrow and I'll be doing my first smash burgers this coming weekend so this was perfect timing. Glad you didn't get blown up by the propane "explosion" Neal. Thank you two for leaving it in and stressing the importance of safety. I do hope you make your version of the smash burger with goat cheese soon. Congrats on crossing 50K. You two are a fantastic team. Thank you both for all you do. Looking forward to Amy's Cook #3 - flat bread pizza.
Thanks so much Zack! Hope you picked up some good tips for your first smash burgers... Let us know how they turn out. I would say my biggest mistake for the burgers was leaving them on the griddle too long and over-cooking them... They were definitely pretty dry. Neal told me afterwards that I pretty much cooked all of the moisture out. 😂 And be sure to have all of your cheese and seasonings nearby and ready to go, because the whole process goes super quick.
This taught me to do only two at a time. Thanks for the great videos!!!
Awesome
Great video couldn’t stop laughing. Nice to see a beginner cooking.
Excellent work Amy! I happen to love goat cheese, so I'm all on board for this burger! I think the best part of this video is how perfectly Amy pronounces "Worcestershire"😂
Haha! I didn't even notice how I pronounced it, but I'm going to have to go back and watch... and heck yes to the goat cheese - I put it on everything... eggs, steak, salads, pizza!
I’m totally onboard with Amy’s goat cheese burger. Great first attempt at smash burgers👍 Congratulations on the channel 50k milestone👏👏👏👏👏😊
Thanks so much Bobbi and your support
The beginner noobi Smashburgers look delicious! Great job Amy! Congrats to The Flat Top King Team for hitting the 50K milestone! You guys rock!
Thank you! You too!
That is about how my first smash burgers went! Now that I've done it about 50 times, I'm much better. The first time you do something, it's always harder. I was showing a friend my method, and he couldn't believe how much prep work I did before we started to cook. Everything has to be ready to go before you start any cooking.
And congrats on 50k!
Yes, I think that's the biggest lesson... have all of your ingredients, seasonings, cheese 100% ready to go before putting the burgers on the griddle. It does go way faster than what you would think! Thanks so much! :)
Awesome
thanks Sam
Great content guys. Keep it up!
Thanks Sinnz...
Ok Amy you’re a hit we/me would like to see more videos of you as a beginner griddle cook. It gives the videos more authenticity of a truly beginner cook. CONGRATULATIONS on the 50K I’m now a subscriber
You got it! Thanks bud for the support...really apologize that
Congratulations on your 50K.I wish Neil would let you (Amy) cook more. Like you (Amy) said, Neil makes it looks so easy to cook on a Griddle. I know when I get mine I'll burn the first smash burgers that I will do. Hopefully I don't. But I'll try not to. Congratulations again on your 50K.
Amy I just bought a black stone and cooked smash burgers for the very first time yesterday. Everything you just did I also did including almost blowing myself up. 😂 great vid!
ahhaahh happens fast for sure
