Awesome...and THANK-YOU Jean Pierre! I have never respected why the 'popularity' of the 'smashing' part was more important than keeping the meat *JUICY* instead...and I'm with you 1,000% that every single person does it the wrong way, and you're the first on this YT thingy to do it the right way. (10 Thumbs Up)...😎👍
Thank you Johnny! I have been making that way for years and I thought it was time to share with TH-cam! The responses and the comments are fantastic! 😊
What if you made a double burger, with one patty smashed and seared to a crisp with perfect Maillard browning, and the other patty pre-smashed like Jean-Pierre does to ensure it retains more juice. Best of both worlds; you get that beautiful crisp texture as well as those dripping juices we all love.
You have taught me so much over the years with these videos Chef. My wife has even started to comment regularly. "How did you make this or that taste so good!" Even cooking with my kids and teaching them the basics like "Onyo first" "Garlic just before liquid" lol All those little steps have made such a massive difference to my knowledge of cooking. And given me alot of confidence to just grab a bunch of ingredients and cook them rather than looking for recipes.
I have to admit after almost 2 years that I am now a Chef JP groupie! I hang out for the twice weekly posts and I am always inspired by the creativity of the Chef’s recipes, as well as his self effacing humour and attitude. I have lost count of the beautiful dishes I have served up that are now a permanent part of my recipe repertoire. This is the most outstanding TH-cam channel. Thanks Chef JP 😊
I do not care what Chef Jean is cooking of teaching, he makes me smile the entire video. I watch while cooking or cleaning the kitchen, and when my family walks in, they smile too!! Thank you Chef Jean!!
Chef - You. Are. A. GENIUS!!!!! Best Burger EVER!!! SERIOUSLY. All the flavor packed in this burger. I made a traditional Smash Burger two days ago, but today your version. AMAZING!!!! Why I even made the traditional one is beyond me because your Smash Burger is OUT OF THIS WORLD!! The only changes I made is I used Kewpie Mayo and I added the shallots. SPOT ON!!! YOU ROCK!!
Hello Chef! We tried your smash burgers and they were fantastic. My wife loved it and that made me look like a hero. You have given us yet another great receipe! Chef Jean-Pierre, you are The Man!
@@linebrunelle1004There’s hardly anything new under the sun. Almost everything you do, someone else has thought to do before. It’s still a genius thing to do, so kudos to your grandmother! 🥰
I love a smash burger and usually did the usual method of smashing in the pan. Tried this today, they were incredible!! Thank you Chef! One thing I like to add to the sauce is a little bit of English mustard powder - gives it a nice little kick. Colmans brand is the most well known and available if anyone wants to give it a try.
I retired before my wife, and made her the deal that I will now cook on the days she works... last night she said: "Boy our home cooking has really improved the last 4 years!" I said: "It's all due to Chef Jean Pierre!" PS: I love how you sneak in your little executive chef tips for us... like "I cut the lettuce with a cookie cutter" ... so it fits the bun perfectly!
Jean-pierre is my kind of chef. Taste is more important than measurements. I'm about to turn 70, so I'm on a pension and I can't just go and buy every meals ingredients in one week. But Chef Pierre has really turned my culinary skills around. I now run a weekly residents lunch club where I live. All those who come along think I'm a great chef, but really it's down chef Pierre. Sure, you can buy a cookbook written by some celebrity chef. Full of weights and measures. But you can't beat following chef Pierre's rules of texture, taste and look of your meal. If you can't achieve these 3 simple rules? You have failed in your quest to turn out a great meal.
I've found most celebrity chef cookbooks are garbage. I'm pretty sure it's someone else making the recipe and the chef just slaps his name on it at collects 20% of the revenue.
I commend Chef JP for encouraging viewers to customize to their own tastes, rather than dictating everything should be only one way. I completely respect the classical dishes but there is room for tweaking to personal preferences. I love his philosophy of: however we like something is what's right for us.
Bravo Chef, the first person I have seen who again, keeps it simple, fresh ingredients, AND doesn't play with the food, actually leaves it to cook, rather than turning it over/massaging the food non stop. Beautiful and thank you for sharing💕💕
I’ve been smashing burgers for 3-4 years now and I’ve tried pre-smashing. While you do get a thin, juicy burger, you lose the delicate lattice that forms when you smear the meat on the edges. That lattice becomes crisp and delicious. And as long as you do the smash and smear the very second the meat hits the heat, no juices are lost because the fat hasn’t started melting yet. Also, try putting those onions down and then smash your meatball directly into them. Some people call that an Oklahoma style smash. It embeds the onions directly into the meat. It’s quite delicious. I love the cookie cutter lettuce idea though.
Onions go ON TOP of the smash burger , then flip and cook the onion covered patty but...the onions must be sliced VERY THIN. That is an Oklahoma Onion Burger. Your welcome.
Chef: Normally I would charcoal grill the patties, but with them being so thin, pan frying them makes so much more sense! Along with the clarified butter, I can only imagine the added flavors in that meat! Thanks again for a great video! All the best!
This guy is an absolute must watch I love way he takes the piss out the tiktok lunatics he has me in fits of laughter most times "measure carefully " top man ,from me in the uk to JP keep um coming man👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
OMG. I made this your version and it was a big time hit. My whole family went crazy with the taste and the flavor thanks to the juices. I did add mustard salt pepper and garlic seasoning with red Chile peppers.. It was a WOW. Thank you so much for your version as I never made it like this before. We ate everything.
My Friend! Are you also a mind reader? Seriously, THIS is what I'm making for dinner tonight!!! I love the honesty in this recipe. Ok, so the onyo wasn't perfect (like most of ours, but I am going to add a little balsamic vinegar, just a touch), the plate was messy (I'm a bit shocked you didn't wipe it) and you cut the burger with a knife (I know folks who always do that). I guess the thing I appreciate most about your videos, is they are honest and truthful. When you promise me that it is going to be delicious, you have never been wrong. I'm gonna try it your way this evening, and see if "the crew" likes it better than me smashing on the griddle itself. My mouth is watering just thinking about making this! Thank you for all you do Chef!
Chef Jean Pierre has done so much to help me improve my cooking I no longer run the risk of being charged with attempted murder in the first degree. Thank you Maestro.
So I made it! I made my parents try it because they don't usually like burgers. They said a solid 8 out of 10. it came out very good! The sauce really brings it all together. I suggest using 80% lean 20% fat beef because it comes out very juicy!
I have done these with clarified butter. Excellent. One question, you use the infrared thermometer to check temperature but don’t test us the temperature you want.
I'm serving in the US Navy right now and have been watching all of your videos. I love how good your English is now and how great your English sayings are! They crack me up every time! You're videos downloaded give me tons of information and entertainment while underway or on shore.
Chef Pierre I am so happy to see that not only are your smash burgers are so popular...but you are also smashing your views with your skill sets and generosity of time spent teaching. Thank you! ❤️😜👍!
I just made this smash burger. First time trying a smash burger. I must say, BEST BURGER EVER!!! The sauce was Amazing, yea I even put a sploosh of cognac, very delicious. Thank you very much Chef. ❤❤❤❤
By far the BEST chef on TH-cam. Hasn't made a dish I wouldn't love to try as of yet. Very balanced in his taste between Americanised and French food. Universally lovable food.
I understand everyone does not have the time to grind their own meat. Chef JP is correct it will make all the difference in the world. I have the same grinding he is using. For 80/20 I use equal parts chuck roast short rib and brisket. The flavor is simply amazing. Thanks chef JP.
Thank you Chef Jean-Pierre. I never would have thought of smashing the meat first, before cooking it. I also never would have thought of cooking the burgers in a frying pan. I followed your instructions exactly. What a difference from any I have ever had before. This is how I will do them from now on - with my home made-from-scratch hamburger buns.
This is the best cooking video i have seen on youtube. Clear instructions and no jumpcuts making this a realistic time guide. This is exactly what I have been looking for. Good job!
Not only do I love how you cook but I love your spirit. I really have a lot of respect for people that come from other countries to this country that offers so much opportunity and freedom and they make themselves successful through hard work. You are a true American. By the way at last count I think I've cooked about 10 of your recipes and I have about 10 others on my list. Tonight my 22 year old son is coming over and we are going to cook your amazing Chilli! Thanks for your channel!
I just realized, with this video, that I have been making Smash Burgers for years… Instead of using the spatula, I use 2 saucers to smash my burgers - Chef’s recipe will take my plain’Ol smash burgers to a new level!
Tips and tricks and teaching us how to enhance an American favorite…giving us the full, flavorful value of food! To think what I’ve been missing (smh)…. Thank you Master Chef. Your knowledge is priceless. Your sharing it is a true blessing. ✨💖✨
Well I know what's for dinner tonight!! Gosh my mouth is watering!! Looks absolutely delicious! I si enjoy watching you! Thanks Chef for another great recipe!
Just watching your happy demeanor alone absolutely makes my day. Thank you very much for the food and culinary skills you display. But they are just a bonus to you’re demeanor
I have been waiting for this recipe for some time :)). When I cook for family or friends, everyone is amazed at how good the caramelized onions made according to your recipe are.. I learned a lot from you... Thank you!! Congratulations for 800k !!
Chef, I made this burger recipe for dinner tonight using our own fresh ground beef as you instructed and wow! Best burger I have ever eaten, and my wife loved it too! Thanks for sharing your recipe!!
Hello Chef! I made this last night and it was Amazing! I bought two petite sirloin steaks on sale, partially froze them and then used the KitchenAid meat grinder attachment. I used wax paper to smash then season. I also splurged for the Ghee. I have to say this was probably one of the best burgers in my life! No Cap. Thank you Chef your teachings have made me and I'm sure many others into phenomenal home cooks!
You can make your own "American cheese." I use cheddar + citrus salt + homemade enchilada sauce (mostly: softened guajillo peppers + caramelized onions blended together and passed through a sieve to be smooth). The enchilada sauce obviously adds flavor but it also helps to make the cheese flow. I could use milk, but enchilada sauce tastes better. Or if you like it spicy, use a can of "chipotles in adobo" and blend those to make the paste you will use for your homemade American cheese.
For a little while now I have been adding a bit of garlic powder and pepper to my ground beef and gently mix it in before I form the ball and patty. Let it sit for a bit and then cook. It's really good; Bumps up a cheaper store ground beef in flavor.
I always knew smashing the burger on the griddle was a mistake for the same reason you explained! Feels good to have a chef validate what I always knew. As soon as i saw you flatten it the way you did, it confirmed to me your mastery of your craft.
I'd always thought that American cheese was "highly processed garbage" until about a 1.5 yrs ago. I guess the stuff I was given as a kid actually was lol.... But to see Chef Jean-Pierre choosing it for his smash burger, I will not hold back going forward.
There are only three chefs I trust when it comes to flavor and technique: Chef Jean Pierre, Chef Marco Pierre White, and Chef Jacob Burton... Each a master in their own right.
OMGGGG You changed my smash burger life! I always watch people smash the burger while cooking. I thought that’s what I’m supposed to do. My burgers are always dry and idk why. I tried what you said this time, smash BEFORE you cook so you don’t loose all the juice. O. M. G. 😮 MY BURGER WAS FINALLY MOIST AND GOOD! 🥹
If you burger is dry you fcuked it up. My guess is you are smashing more than once, the golden rule is only smash once at the very start. Should be 18%+ fat in the burger. This idiot does not have a clue.
I love smash burgers! I like to put the The caramelized onyon under my cheese, it helps to keep them in place a little bit better, love your channel chef jp❤
All this time I’ve been making smash burgers the wrong way! What a great video/recipe to help retain the juices and not burn your arms smashing down the burger and dealing with all the grease. Thanks Chef!👏👏
I thought I was the only one who made smash burgers this way. A dry burger is a dead burger, just like a steak. I love watching your videos chef. My latest obsession that I've been trying to perfect, which I'm very close, is the "Elvis" (Peanut Butter, Bacon & Banana) sandwich. I've finally found a way where all the flavors are cohesive. 🤤
When you smash it on the pan when the meat is raw it still doesn't release any moisture.. I get your point but when you do it the right way it is still gonna be moist :)
One suggestion: I noticed you put pepper on the onion but I also suggest putting salt & pepper directly onto the tomato. It's amazing. Especially if you grow your own tomatoes which taste so much better than anything you can purchase in a store. Tomato, salt, pepper and a little mayo is one of the greatest sandwiches of all time. Perfection in its glorious simplicity.
WOW, I am a bit light-headed after eating that amazing creation. I had never heard of a smashburger before, and I have never bought American cheese. But I followed your recipe, complete with American cheese from Whole Foods deli. It was completely different from my normal cheeseburger, even though it was mostly the same ingredients. Thank you, so much, my friend. I think I am a happier person since I subscribed to your channel, and so is my husband. Oh, and it was a two napkin affair.
Ai yai yai!! Cognac! I always add chopped shallots fine’ fine’ and half sour pickle juice AND chopped pickles fine’ fine’ but the cognac!! Magnifique. Merci
I just ordered a Blackstone griddle, should be arriving this week.... and I will absolutely try this!! I watched a guy take a stick of butter that was only unwrapped from one end and make 12 small swirls on the griddle before placing a bun on each swirl of melted butter. They grilled really fast and he took them off the griddle before doing his smash burgers. These look amazing!!
I’m sorry that America has now messed up American cheese. America has changed the way that cheese is made. There is a thing called cheese food, because a lot of Americans don’t have taste buds, they can’t say cheese without the word food. The difference is like butter to margarine, whipped cream to cool whip, American cheese to American cheese food. The difference between these things is the first example was made from milk, the second from oil. There are more examples these are the easiest to explain.
There is a burger place in my town of Seattle that I had the privilege to watch their head chef make the sauce and he also used cognac in their sauce!! Their burgers are amazing!!! They were listed as number 4 in the US!! And many times over the best burgers here in Seattle!! I cannot wait to make these!! Love me a smash burger!!
I guess I can't read a scale properly, however, the burger was delicious. I'm always looking for the perfect burger and now I've found it. Thank you Chef.
They used to make a smash sandwich years ago when I went to Cannes France and I swear I lived on that while I was there. It was amazing just like chef Jean Pierre!
Thank you, I intend to make our next burger just like this. Looking forward to making your sauce...also, thanks for the 'how to use your knives' video. My husband and I watched and he finally understands why to use a boning knife! Something my mother taught her children years ago, sometimes it takes another voice to get through to those closest to us...😆. You are a hoot, better than regular TV. Keep up the goid wirk!
This is the best smashburger I have seen made by a European. Well done! I will say that smashing the burger before or during the cooking is a preference. I prefer to put my patty balls directly on the griddle and season them heavily with salt and pepper and a little garlic powder on top right before I smash them. The seasoning will help prevent the spatula from sticking to the patty. When you are smashing the burger, it's best to do this before they have been on the griddle for very long, so that you don't have rendered fat leaking out when you smash. You don't lose any juice this way, and it helps with a really good sear on the first side of the burger.
I totally agree. I have never used pickles on burgers. To me they have an over-powering taste that negates the delicate flavors of the other ingredients.
@@Justme77400 I concur, in fact I am old enough to remember those days when restaurants served pickles on the side. First thing I ate just to get them out of the way.
Chef, I just made these for the family.....WOW. this is the only way burgers are getting done in our house from now on. And that sauce..... genius. Thanks for the great content!
Smashing the patty directly on then hot pan is part of the secret. Pressing it before, gives you a standard burger with thin patties. Still good, of course, but without the roasted aromas that make a Smashed Burger special.
Awesome video ! When I was working, as a chef, I used to make something similar to your burger. I would put a slice of roasted chicken and a sunny side up egg. So when you smashed it, it would be a extra juice, messy burger. It was a hit with the late night customers. Hope your are safe and well during this time with hurricane Ian. Take care and God bless.
Awesome...and THANK-YOU Jean Pierre! I have never respected why the 'popularity' of the 'smashing' part was more important than keeping the meat *JUICY* instead...and I'm with you 1,000% that every single person does it the wrong way, and you're the first on this YT thingy to do it the right way.

@@jsonaut Hopefully I'll get to try it soon mate, been in the mood for a nice fat burger that I can really sink my teeth into

I use cheddar + citrus salt + homemade enchilada sauce (mostly: softened guajillo peppers + caramelized onions blended together and passed through a sieve to be smooth). The enchilada sauce obviously adds flavor but it also helps to make the cheese flow. I could use milk, but enchilada sauce tastes better. Or if you like it spicy, use a can of "chipotles in adobo" and blend those to make the paste you will use for your homemade American cheese.
👍👍👍👍👍
Sounds like "Mexican cheese". :-)
For a little while now I have been adding a bit of garlic powder and pepper to my ground beef and gently mix it in before I form the ball and patty. Let it sit for a bit and then cook. It's really good; Bumps up a cheaper store ground beef in flavor.
I always knew smashing the burger on the griddle was a mistake for the same reason you explained! Feels good to have a chef validate what I always knew. As soon as i saw you flatten it the way you did, it confirmed to me your mastery of your craft.
Thank you chef! The idea of pre smashing your paddies before you cook it is actually a genius idea.
I like how no matter the burger approach, it's just universally accepted that "american cheese" is the peak cheese for burgers lol
I'd always thought that American cheese was "highly processed garbage" until about a 1.5 yrs ago. I guess the stuff I was given as a kid actually was lol.... But to see Chef Jean-Pierre choosing it for his smash burger, I will not hold back going forward.
Try havarti or Muenster. Both melt better and have a much deeper flavor. American is good, but not the best.
OK, here are some fun facts:
American cheese was invented by a Canadian, and the Swiss were developing a processed cheese back around 1911.
I dunno. Regular sharp cheddar melts nice and tastes better than American. Shoot me.
@@holden6104 cooking is about making it fun... If sharp cheddar makes a burger more fun for you, fuggin do it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I love this man’s enthusiasm for food, he is a fantastic, genuine chef. He’s fast becoming one of my favorites.
There are only three chefs I trust when it comes to flavor and technique: Chef Jean Pierre, Chef Marco Pierre White, and Chef Jacob Burton... Each a master in their own right.
Well, I am in great company. Thank you.!😊👍
OMGGGG You changed my smash burger life! I always watch people smash the burger while cooking. I thought that’s what I’m supposed to do. My burgers are always dry and idk why. I tried what you said this time, smash BEFORE you cook so you don’t loose all the juice. O. M. G. 😮 MY BURGER WAS FINALLY MOIST AND GOOD! 🥹
If you burger is dry you fcuked it up. My guess is you are smashing more than once, the golden rule is only smash once at the very start. Should be 18%+ fat in the burger. This idiot does not have a clue.
My day is ALWAYS better after watching my friend Chef Jean~PierreHello Chef hope all is well
You are the best cooking teacher anywhere Chef Jean-Pierre!
Another Thursday and another fantastic video ! Let's goooo !
With fast food prices these days, this is actually cheaper to make now, and you don't have to worry about what they put in the food. 😋
👍👍👍
I love smash burgers! I like to put the The caramelized onyon under my cheese, it helps to keep them in place a little bit better, love your channel chef jp❤
Seems like a good idea
I like to add Hatch Green Chili's !!
That's onyo, good day to you
Add a little cat brain confit, and bam chefs kiss good
Friend, not "onyon" but "ONYO" 😂
I just made these smash burgers and they were the best I’ve ever had. Pre-smashing plus the ghee is magical. Thank you.
Ok, I’m convinced. Chef is part wizard! I just KNOW the finger waggles as he tastes casts a magic spell on the food! That burger looks AMAZING!!
Hard not to love this man even if he’s a professional chef using non stick cookware ☺ my favorite channel
All this time I’ve been making smash burgers the wrong way! What a great video/recipe to help retain the juices and not burn your arms smashing down the burger and dealing with all the grease. Thanks Chef!👏👏
👍👍👍😊
I've been making smash burgers for years, and I just tried this technique last night. Holy flavor. I'm never going back to the old way again.
An American classic done by a French-Italian Chef! It looks amazing! Thank you CJP!
I thought I was the only one who made smash burgers this way. A dry burger is a dead burger, just like a steak. I love watching your videos chef. My latest obsession that I've been trying to perfect, which I'm very close, is the "Elvis" (Peanut Butter, Bacon & Banana) sandwich. I've finally found a way where all the flavors are cohesive. 🤤
Ah Chef JP!! You bring joy to our lives, over the filthy politicians & lies of the world around us!!! Thanks so much!!
I had a great time watching you chef!
Of course, you release the burger recipe the day I start my diet! Oh well, we can start the diet next week!
When you smash it on the pan when the meat is raw it still doesn't release any moisture.. I get your point but when you do it the right way it is still gonna be moist :)
I was waiting for this addition for so long! Thank you chef :)
One suggestion: I noticed you put pepper on the onion but I also suggest putting salt & pepper directly onto the tomato. It's amazing. Especially if you grow your own tomatoes which taste so much better than anything you can purchase in a store.
Tomato, salt, pepper and a little mayo is one of the greatest sandwiches of all time. Perfection in its glorious simplicity.
WOW, I am a bit light-headed after eating that amazing creation. I had never heard of a smashburger before, and I have never bought American cheese. But I followed your recipe, complete with American cheese from Whole Foods deli. It was completely different from my normal cheeseburger, even though it was mostly the same ingredients. Thank you, so much, my friend. I think I am a happier person since I subscribed to your channel, and so is my husband. Oh, and it was a two napkin affair.
Man I love this guy… his passion is amazing, reminds me of the old country when my grandma was in the kitchen (not calling him old)
This looks delicious! Thank you chef for these wonderful recipes and videos!
Ai yai yai!! Cognac! I always add chopped shallots fine’ fine’ and half sour pickle juice AND chopped pickles fine’ fine’ but the cognac!! Magnifique. Merci
every single recipe on chef's channel is so gooood and its fun to cook while watching :D
It's absolutely true. Every single one looks absolutely delicious to me too.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GUY...
ONE TOP CHEF...
FORGETS BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER'S...
LOVE HIM...
GORGEOUS RECIPES...
BRILLIANT METHODS...
❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations on 800K, Chef! What a gift it has been to discover your channel.
THANK YOU!!!! 😊
I just ordered a Blackstone griddle, should be arriving this week.... and I will absolutely try this!! I watched a guy take a stick of butter that was only unwrapped from one end and make 12 small swirls on the griddle before placing a bun on each swirl of melted butter. They grilled really fast and he took them off the griddle before doing his smash burgers.
These look amazing!!
I’m sorry that America has now messed up American cheese. America has changed the way that cheese is made. There is a thing called cheese food, because a lot of Americans don’t have taste buds, they can’t say cheese without the word food. The difference is like butter to margarine, whipped cream to cool whip, American cheese to American cheese food. The difference between these things is the first example was made from milk, the second from oil. There are more examples these are the easiest to explain.
I love watching Chef Jean Pierre in his kitchen having fun cooking and sharing his insights. I also learned a lot from you chef. You're the best!! :)
I am a burger hound. And I absolutely, 💯 percent approve this video. Burgers are so amazing. 😋
There is a burger place in my town of Seattle that I had the privilege to watch their head chef make the sauce and he also used cognac in their sauce!!
Their burgers are amazing!!!
They were listed as number 4 in the US!!
And many times over the best burgers here in Seattle!!
I cannot wait to make these!!
Love me a smash burger!!
OMG Chef JP, made it for lunch today. 😢 love it and will share with my friends
Going to make this for dinner tomorrow!❤
I guess I can't read a scale properly, however, the burger was delicious. I'm always looking for the perfect burger and now I've found it. Thank you Chef.
They used to make a smash sandwich years ago when I went to Cannes France and I swear I lived on that while I was there. It was amazing just like chef Jean Pierre!
Thank you, I intend to make our next burger just like this. Looking forward to making your sauce...also, thanks for the 'how to use your knives' video. My husband and I watched and he finally understands why to use a boning knife! Something my mother taught her children years ago, sometimes it takes another voice to get through to those closest to us...😆. You are a hoot, better than regular TV. Keep up the goid wirk!
This is the best smashburger I have seen made by a European. Well done! I will say that smashing the burger before or during the cooking is a preference. I prefer to put my patty balls directly on the griddle and season them heavily with salt and pepper and a little garlic powder on top right before I smash them. The seasoning will help prevent the spatula from sticking to the patty. When you are smashing the burger, it's best to do this before they have been on the griddle for very long, so that you don't have rendered fat leaking out when you smash. You don't lose any juice this way, and it helps with a really good sear on the first side of the burger.
These are not smashburgers, the man is an idiot. You see to know how to do it so wonder how you are not calling him out on doing it wrong.
I totally agree. I have never used pickles on burgers. To me they have an over-powering taste that negates the delicate flavors of the other ingredients.
Pickles should be on the side.
@@Justme77400 I concur, in fact I am old enough to remember those days when restaurants served pickles on the side. First thing I ate just to get them out of the way.
I totally accept your opinion, however the pickles are the heart of the burger. So no, always pickles and mustard.
Chef, I just made these for the family.....WOW. this is the only way burgers are getting done in our house from now on. And that sauce..... genius. Thanks for the great content!
Hardest challenge to watch your videos while being hungry or fasting hahah
Smashing the patty directly on then hot pan is part of the secret. Pressing it before, gives you a standard burger with thin patties.
Still good, of course, but without the roasted aromas that make a Smashed Burger special.
Awesome video ! When I was working, as a chef, I used to make something similar to your burger. I would put a slice of roasted chicken and a sunny side up egg. So when you smashed it, it would be a extra juice, messy burger. It was a hit with the late night customers. Hope your are safe and well during this time with hurricane Ian. Take care and God bless.
