How to Make Smash Burgers on the Griddle

Here's a guide to one of the best burgers I've made. A simple traditional smash burger made on the griddle. The best part about cooking burgers on a griddle is you don't lose all of the marbling that renders off and the burgers just sit there and sear away in a pile of their own juices. BEST BURGER EVER!

Legend says the other 4 patties remain on the griddle to this day...

This is the best video on YouTube showing how to make the ultimate smashburger. The way you make them, the ounce you use, to the simple toppings are perfect.

That’s how you do it! There are lots of videos that claim to show you how to make smash burger. Most of them cook the patties too thick. The execution in this video was perfect! Thin and crispy patties, yum!

Amazing as usual. - I was kinda laughing at some of the comments about the cooking time of the burgers and I was like I'm almost always cooking for more than one person and it's difficult if not downright impossible sometimes to get "everything" timed out perfectly. - Those burgers looked absolutely delicious!! - Great technique and advice!!

Good video. Smash burgers are so easy to make. It's almost impossible to get them wrong, as long as you get them thin enough. Crunchy burgers sounds bad until you actually try one, it's really unbelievable. It's amazing how this simplicity utterly blows away any fancy burger you could possibly buy at high end restaurants.

Trying this next weekend for sure. Every time I watch your videos I get so hungry and can't stop thinking about what you cooked for hours. Looks amazing!

"You can use ketchup too, but we aren't cause we're trying to avoid sugar" -says the guy who used sweet pickle relish lol

Since watching this video, this is my go-to smash burger technique. Thanks for making it easy. It’s a favorite in my home!

Burgers look KILLER! Have not ever seen that griddle set up before

[asumani]

I've watched lots of smash burger videos but hey this one is on the next level. I've really loved it. Forget about the negative energy in the comments section.

In a 120h fast while watching your videos.. Ahhh so much deliciousness!

“It’s only going to take about 45 seconds for these to be done.” ::18 minutes later::

I'm gonna pull the trigger on buying one of these griddles and all I can say is, I hope my first smashburgers turn out exactly like these!!!! They look amazing!!!

I suppose if you made these on a regular basis, you could use an old flat iron to press and add weight, even leave it on the griddle beforehand to help cook the top side too!

There's so much Canada going on here. Love your video bud, all the way from Miami!

[C-Vite]

I love how you use cheap and common ingredients for most of us to relate to

[edwinmendija]

That’s how our long gone Dairy Queen used to make their burgers...thanks for the memories and great video!

[kevinkuhn]

man. i woke up at 3am and been watching cooking videos all morning. saludos de los angeles california.

Lean ground works well. You do want more rather than less fat in your ground beef!

When I started watching this video, I was thinking, WTF is he doing with a 70g patty? If you are making triples, then 70g patties are good. I make double burgers as per this method and find 100g ideal! Anything over 200g is just too much beef for me.
I also noticed he used the cheap wonderbread buns! Awesome choice because it provides the perfect meat-to-bun ratio. I have tried smash burgers with better larger buns, and they just take too much flavor away from the beef!

Great video and an awesome presentation. No matter how long you have been cooking smash burgers, there is always lots to learn. I would suggest buying a smasher if you plan on making these a regular meal; the spatula smash technique used in this video is excellent, but it takes too much time and energy. I also found smashing and holding for 10 seconds helps with the crust formation, just my experience. Mmmm, I am in the mood for smash burgers!
