FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions:
Why smash a burger patty?
Crushing increases the surface area, which creates a crisp crust and better flavor due to the Maillard reaction.
Can I use chicken or plant-based meat?
Yes, just reduce the cooking time and make sure the meat is cooked through.
Which cheese works best?
Cheddar, American or Swiss cheese melts well and tastes great.
Should I add seasoning before smashing?
No, always add seasoning after smashing when cooking for the best texture and flavor.
Tip:
- Do not press the patty after the initial smash. This will release the juices and cause it to dry out.
- Use a very hot skillet for the best crust.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; cook one item at a time to ensure even cooking.
