Vegan Smash Burgers: Beyond vs Impossible

I wanted to find a new great way to make plant based smash burgers! I know every time I make them, they fall apart or are too dry!
So I went to the internet and did what anyone should do... watch YouTube videos on it!

The goal of SauceStache is to continue trying something new, something new to me and something different.
I find inspirations from you the SauceSquad and my constant hunt of social media to see what food is being made around the globe and how can I try to make it. Lets try to make some food and have fun!!

It appears as if the cuts or overlays got mixed up. You're tasting the Mushroom smash but the overlay puts "butter smash" as second place. Just like "The cooked in butter is the worst" but the emoji appears next to "mushroom smash"

"While the buns toast I'll go make the sauce" Dude, the buns take like 15 sec to toast, I knew they were going to burn 😢, aside from that, nice video! Loved the experiment

To be honest I've made plenty of smashed burgers using impossible and it never falls apart on me. They come out amazing.

Beyond has a sweet after taste and leaves a sticky residue in the skillet. Impossible has a salty/savory after taste and leaves an oily residue in the skillet. Both products have gone through many changes since being introduced..
I eat these products sparingly due to allergic rxn to the ingredients. My family enjoyed The Wellington. Thanks for sharing and the honest non-critical reviews.

It almost looks like it falls apart because it's sticking to the spatula/smasher. You can tell with the one with onions how it doesn't stick and they work much better. I bet you could have a little piece of parchment paper between the meet and smasher and leave it on while it cooks for a few seconds if you wanted to skip the onions

Burgers smashed with onions are always awesome ! Totally makes sense that they keep vegan patties juicy

How about Onion Shroom Smashed burger?

I LOVE that you're taking all of the meats and making sloppy joe's!

I’ve been using the premade impossible patties to make your McDonald’s cheeseburgers and when I smash them, I use the paper that separates the patty and there is no sticking to the spatula. Works like a charm. Thanks for your recipes 🌱💚

I have always frozen sticks of butter vegan Earth Balance and grated it into my beef. Stole the method from some dad on tiktok making smashburgers for his kids, veganized it and it's been a hit ever since

“The Beyond just isn’t doing it for me.” I love you Monica!! 🥰

[petermaharajh]

IMO Beyond and Impossible have always been great depending on what you make.
Also, Monica has really become an entertaining part of your videos. The couple thing totally works. Let her make something and you taste it…that could be interesting 😀

The onion smash burger reminds me of a white castle burger.

Did you mix up the titles at 7:28 or am I just being stupid?

Having done a TON of burgers with both I think you are correct, impossible is better for smash burgers because it's all about the maillard reaction. Tip, rather than smashing in the pan I pre smash between parchment paper. I also slice my onions on a mandolin and use A LOT of them, not caramelized. Also the Mississippi slugburger works real well with plant based ground. The breadcrumbs add extra binding power and it also allows you to make more from 1 package of ground.

when i make impossible smash burgers, i spray some oil between two pieces of parchment, smash the burgers, then put them on the grill. also, i oil my spatula

[catsnpeacocks]

I prefer the impossible burger over the beyond any day. If you’ll cook the burger for 30 to 40 seconds on one side ( not any longer than that) then flip it over and mash it, it shouldn’t stick. That’s the way I’ve been doing it and it gets flat and crispy on the edges.

try a sprinkle of brown sugar with the onions it makes them super caramelized

[johnriordan]

pre-smashing the burger with wax paper helps a ton. Brian lagerstrom did it in his smashburger video. I also like making a "beefy' marinade and brushing it on the burger when its done cooking. My marinade is usually maramite, liquid smoke, soy sauce, and a bit of water. That way the burger is almost dripping wet with beefy marinade when you eat it

[rosalynnecole]

I am a Impossible fan. But I think i would like the onion burger best.

You can try and oil your spatula before smashing.
