Do you press down on your hamburger patty with spatula while cooking?

Not unless you do like it's a grilled cheese. Just because you smashed the fuck out of them on the grill for years didn't make them terrible. Let that guilt go. I like to get a flame going like cali said but nothing extreme. Doesn't change anything with the burger. Unless you use BBQ sauce from a jar.

 

Yunno, I'll take your wiseassery and go one further because this thread contributes nothing towards adulthood, but my dad makes a sauce that sets fires all by itself. It's a killer sauce, but you dont really need charcoal, you can set that shit on fire and grill in amazement.

I gotta believe though that the only reason (besides fire) anyone would smash a burger is because their burgers fall apart. Because they are stupid and don't know how to make a burger to begin with?

 

Make no mistake, tiga was smashing the ass out of those patties until he read this

 

Oh I like to get you chef boy r wannabes going with this shit . Yall did it most your lives now act like you discovered uranium cooking a damn burger bc some jackass on the food network told you so.

 

The jackass on the food network was right

 

Yeah but the fire you can start from smashing that fucker is so worth it. I simply throw the burger away now bc they are so much better when you don't they are now inedible.

 

Make a couple of small burgers for smashing and eat the big unsmashed ones

 

No actually I googled it to show the wife after walking into the kitchen and seeing her bend a rubber spatula in half, smashing on one in a skillet.
