One thing about doing smaller meat portions is that you can make it a double without having too much beef on the sandwich, which means double the crusty crispy edges.
I know you were a sailor, I know you can cook, I know you can teach….. keep these lessons coming! I didn’t know what I was missing. Just did your prebaked chopped potatoes on the Blackstone with a little bit of the Easter ham, onions, small bits of red & green peppers but didn’t season it right. I’ve got to go back and watch that one again!
Ahhh…An anchor clanker?! I was a Marine and stationed aboard a few Navy ships. They all had flat top griddles which is why this guy knows what he’s doing.
Enjoyed this video immensely, and I am not a beginner flat top chef either. Your desire to want to help others to be the best grill cook they can be is obvious, honest and passionate. Your teaching style is fun to watch , and your recipes ideas are simple and easy, They look and taste great as well. At 67 years old, I will never be too smart or too sage to know everything. I like to think that this is what you want to get across to me. Don't be afraid to move the boundary line or even cross it. Curiosity is Genius in the raw! Thanks for rubbing your confidence into my psyche to help me take that extra step, to try my best at what I love to do. Grilling, eating and making friends. Thanks for your hard work. Both of you.! ☮
What a comment. Thank you for taking the time and much appreciated. That is definitely the goal. I dont care what people like and dont like....I just wanted to start that fire to cook and when they do they will have the foundation to start with. Thanks again Barney
Barney you are my new lost love. (I’m gay but we can have a sisterhood lmfao) this comment is just so pure… you sound like an angel. You sound like the warmth my mom hugged me with. You seem like a gem and I hope you’re well
I know this is an older one. Hosting my whole family and some neighbors this weekend and wanted my smash burger game to be as fresh as possible. Watched enough videos of people on the smash burger train just making videos to get a participation trophy. Your video is the one that nails every principle I’m looking for in a smashed crispy double cheeseburger that makes you say “Oh my God, why would I ever do it any other way”
A simple smash burger only takes like 5 more minutes than a grilled cheese. Thanks for this video man. It was simple and helpful. Cooked my first one after this vid.
It's crazy how many people mess this up, but you nailed it. As soon as I saw you flip the first one, I knew you got it right haha. Perfect griddle temp and perfect cook time. Excellent stuff!
Thanks so much! I about died when you released your video.....I was like NO WAY. Well just goes to show that great minds think alike. How do you like the new master built
@@TheFlatTopKing Its all good. I love that Masterbuilt for what it is. So far ive only got to play with some pellet grill portables. So far, i like this better. Way better. That said. Still some more testing to do! Cheers!
Just one more in a long line of great “how to do” videos. Your down to earth personality (both of you), makes them very enjoyable to watch. Great work!
I have just started (today) making my own smash burgers. First mistake I made was using too much meat. I started with 5oz but reduced to 3oz and it was obviously better. This video has helped a lot. My aim is to start my own stall selling burgers.
Another great video. If you want to mimic a McD's double cheeseburger even more put some dehydrated onions in a small bowl and pour a little warm water on top before you turn on the griddle. That's what McDonald's does for their smaller burgers. They use fresh onion on Quarter Pounders. It's also a great trick if you are out of fresh onions or don't want to cut up an onion for just a burger or two.
I made smash burgers on the 17 inch Blackstone electric griddle with caramelized onions. Outstanding! This video is really informative Neal and so appreciate you sharing it! You and your family have a blessed Easter! Cheers my friend!
Thank you soooo much!!! I just purchased a carbon steel griddle for my gas stove and am making smashed patty melts for dinner today. I can’t eat onions, so just basically a cheeseburger on rye with mustard. Watching your videos has taught me alot about making smash burgers and I really am grateful that you share this knowledge on RUclips.
I like watching your videos. I never could make an omelet that great until watching your videos. My wife told me how great my omelet looked the other day. Also, I use to worry so much about temp on my griddle. but now I dont mind it as much, i just figure out where the hotter spots are and the cooler spots. I see something cooking more i just move it around to the cooler side. Only time I really care about temp is when searing a steak or smash burgers. Love the videos too. I also love how you show people how to do something but also allow them to use whatever style they want. Some people may want a mushroom and swiss smash burger, some may only want ketchup, some may like onions and tomato, some may just want the burger. It is all about peoples taste. Only thing that doesnt change is the burger itself. Love the videos and keep them coming.
Raymond just let me say this....I cant thank you enough for typing this..I don't try to be something I am not and this is why I started to create videos...For people to learn and make food they like..after all they are the ones eating it...
Just wanted to give a big thanks for your video. You completely enlightened me how to make a proper smash burger. The detail you provided answered so much of my questions and fixed many of the mistakes I was making. I can now make an awesome smash burger at home thanks to your great tips. Keep the excellent education videos coming.
I love the 1/3 cup (plus a little) measurement. It makes perfect sized burgers for the bun. This was a hit tonight at my house, some wanted doubles, some wanted singles, but super crispy and delicious. I've made smash burgers in the past but could never get them this thin. New staple in my house - thanks for the tip, bro!!
Rockin for sure...I was cooing dinners for my family at that age...honestly one of my families favorites was the beef and cheese enchiladas I mades...definitely nothing special but the at the time the flavors were fantastic....I actually made a video on it...same recipe etc...good luck...reach out if I can help
Just made my first smash burgers on my “big” Little Griddle”. These are the most amazing burgers I have ever made! I doubt I will ever make the basic “1/2” pound flame -broiled burger again. These are simple to make and have amazing flavor. I just need to make the investment in a real free-standing griddle. Thank you so much for inspiring me to cook great food! Love your channel!!
Your video has been a really big help for me never had smash burgers never had much luck making burgers they were always dry. After watching your video, the smash burgers I made are the best burgers I have ever done, and they are juicy. Thank you so much.
I'm a beginner. My first cook on my Blackstone was marinated chicken and it was a disaster. Spent so much time cleaning after that i didn't even want the chicken. I just did these burgers and it went so much better and tasted great plus cleanup was a snap. Thanks for breaking this down so simply for newbs.
So many people that get into the gear of a particular hobby never touch the beginner grade stuff again. Now I can try this in my cast iron pan and see if I really want a griddle. Thanks.
Yes absolutely learn something again actually doing smashburgers and hot dogs for the grand kids this weekend for Easter, That way they can build their own, thank you again Neal
I just recently started making smash burgers. I love them. So this was helpful. I’ve watched other peoples videos but you’re no nonessential approach was great!
If you have a scale, a good measure of weight for a single smashburger is 3.2 oz which will give you 5 patty’s per pound of meat. Glad to see you didn’t use oil on your heat source, that’s is the traditional way. You remind me of my self, I’m a retired Navy CS and do most of the cooking for the family, lol. Good video, keep ‘em coming, brother.
Love that you explain not only how to make a great smash burger but the various ways to make them! We were going to cook ours in our cast iron skillet on top of our Weber grill but it was far too windy so we opted for the stove top in the cast iron skillet instead. The burgers turned out great but we set the smoke alarm off several times making 6 patties! We opened the windows and until we could see clearly again and the alarm stopped screaming at us! lol Glad the neighbors didn’t call the fire dept! 😅
haahahahah unfortunately that means you did it correctly...i have always said that a smoke alarm not always is bad...its just the honest reality of true cooking...
As a beginner on the griddle all your tips and techniques are great. The parchment paper for example, I also use on sausage and had not done that before. Never will make a patty again.
Great job! I especially love that you show what we can do inside on our stovetop bc I don't have a flat top yet. Hopefully soon. This is supper tonight.❤🎉
Made smash burgers for the first time last night , used 93&% meat ( my wife mixes ingredients with meat prion to cooking) in my iron skillet. She said it's the best burger she has ever had, it reminded me of my mom's burgers ( I'm 66 yo ). So happy I finally saw a video using iron tops and skillet !
I was watching television and I saw this commercial with burgers. I was like "That looked like a smash burger" So I started wondering if The Flat Top King had a video. I find this one and after watching it the only thing I could think to say was "Yea, he smashed it" Great Job!!!!!!!
Merci pour cette vidéo instructive, j'aime beaucoup vos vidéos en général, chaque étape est expliqué. Cela nous permet d'éviter les grosses erreurs et d'avoir du plaisir à cuisiner sur "la plancha", le mot français pour dire flat griddle.

Totally agree. If you are doing it right you make improvements with each subsequent cook session. I’m almost at perfection after 5 or 6 tries. I think if I cut down the size of my beef ball from 4 to 3 ounces that might be the key.
To keep the crust from sticking to the griddle when you try to flip it, I now throw a thin pat of butter on the griddle and then put my 3oz ball right on top of it. Smash it, and then flip it. It doesn't stick. And since they cook so fast, I normally season the meat before I even make the balls so that I don't accidentally leave the patties on too long due to me seasoning everything. Lastly, I found if I toast the buns and then put a slice of cheese on the bottom of the bun, the grease from the burgers doesn't make the bottom bun soggy.
Just put my Pit Boss griddle together and tried the smash Burgers thanks for the video they came out great, first time making them and my wife said now I get why people like them
I just made smash burgers yesterday. I used your blue cheese sauce from the buffalo chicken cheese steak video, and made a blue on black smash burger with bacon. was really good, but let's get to the point who won the fight man.
Great information! I love making smash burgers on my camp chef two burner stove with a cast iron pan. Pro tip ground brisket makes the best smash burgers!
Wow! That looks good! I’ve never had a smash burger before, but now I’ve got to try. I’m so glad I got my Camp Chef griddle. Your videographer is excellent, by the way. She does very good work.
YOU NAILED IT. I seen videos where folks make the patty just way too thick for a smash burger, it doesn't make sense. I also dont' understand folks that eat their burger medium rare, this a burger NOT A STEAK!!!! Damn savages
Awesome..if you haven’t seen it my wife did a video for cooking for beginners by a beginner and our next one will be a smashburger...that way maybe I can understand where some people are and i can make it better..
TOTALLY agree with obtaining the correct heat on LOW. I witness it when I leave a pot of water for pasta on low while I go do something and don’t want a boil over. I come back and it’s boiling or close to.
Everyone has their favorite. But I'll take a smash burger any day of the week. This is my favorite. One thing I've told people whatever I make smashburgers they say they don't like thin patties but the thing is the juiciness and the crust. If you want a thicker burger, just go with a double or triple patty. The one thing that you don't get with this type of a cook is that smokey grilled flavor, but it's still my favorite hands down and these look delicious by the way
Thanks so much...hey do me a big favor...save this comment and date...big things coming over the next few months....I completely agree with this comment
@@TheFlatTopKing I will be watching! I watched a couple of your videos in the past but I'm very selective and what I subscribe to because I don't like getting tons of notifications on my phone. I recently for whatever reason went down the rabbit hole on your channel the other day and realized very quickly that I needed to subscribe to your channel. We have a lot in common in the way we cook. I love watching other people cook, the way that I like to cook, gives me lots of good ideas.
Been catching up on your new videos just got back from vacation. Ordered me a flat top king t shirt 👕 gonna be in style when I cook on my pit boss lol! 😎
Every single griddle manufacturer recommends AGAINST using a wallpaper scraper because IT REMOVES YOUR PRECIOUS SEASONING FROM THE COOK SURFACE AND GOUGE YOUR COOK TOP. Spatula comes in at low angle and just removes debris while preserving seasoning. Those wallpaper scrapers come in close to 90 degrees. I hope nobody does that
@@drdrew3 Yeah I second that. I know some do but they are also sharp and being careless with lead to damaging the patina on the griddle. Same way why I preach about using the bench scraper the right way
Thanks for the tips! I have got to get some....Someone recommended that I use beef tallow in my homemade tortillas and now this so its about to be a must..
family just picked up a Blackstone for me (early fathers day gift)... this Sunday gonna do smash burgers. Love the channel. thanks for all the tips... From one shipmate to another, Go VOLS (USN -89-94 )
I do not. Remember the last time you cook you should always add oil to the ftg to make sure it does not rust. That amount should be good enough to get you through. I aslo think by not adding any extra you allow the beef to spread farther and therefore more curst
Yea brother as soon as you flipped them I knew you were valid, Tried a batch earlier before watching and i see now i flipped them too early! Trying a second batch now!
Your highness, I just made my first smash burgers ever in a skillet on a stove top. I used 73/27, I kept the meatballs small, packed em loose, smashed em for a few seconds and just let ‘em cook. Flip, and then the clincher, deluxe American cheese slices. Ketchup, mustard and that was all she wrote. They were, hands down, the best burgers I ever made. Thank you.

One thing about doing smaller meat portions is that you can make it a double without having too much beef on the sandwich, which means double the crusty crispy edges.
Totally agree. I can’t order a restaurant hamburger anymore - too thick and undercooked in middle and no crust on the outside.
good point
I know you were a sailor, I know you can cook, I know you can teach….. keep these lessons coming! I didn’t know what I was missing. Just did your prebaked chopped potatoes on the Blackstone with a little bit of the Easter ham, onions, small bits of red & green peppers but didn’t season it right.

Good news is you still ate it. Thats the great things about food mess ups .... the mess ups just mean you can cook again
Ahhh…An anchor clanker?! I was a Marine and stationed aboard a few Navy ships. They all had flat top griddles which is why this guy knows what he’s doing.
Too many people rely on the equipment, YOU are the factor in how the food comes out. Awesome video my friend!

Thanks for watching!
Great looking smash burgers thanks for sharing, what’s next ?
Bourbon cinnamon bun pancakes
In my opinion smash burgers are an evolving technique. It seems like they are better each time I make them! 🍻
I just made more for another platform and my wife said the exact same thing..
Totally agree. If you are doing it right you make improvements with each subsequent cook session. I’m almost at perfection after 5 or 6 tries. I think if I cut down the size of my beef ball from 4 to 3 ounces that might be the key.

YOU NAILED IT. I seen videos where folks make the patty just way too thick for a smash burger, it doesn't make sense. I also dont' understand folks that eat their burger medium rare, this a burger NOT A STEAK!!!! Damn savages
thanks
Awesome video, thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Ty for watching
You explained it perfectly! Thanks for sharing. I’m going to make some tonight. 🙌🏽
Awesome..if you haven’t seen it my wife did a video for cooking for beginners by a beginner and our next one will be a smashburger...that way maybe I can understand where some people are and i can make it better..
TOTALLY agree with obtaining the correct heat on LOW.
I witness it when I leave a pot of water for pasta on low while I go do something and don’t want a boil over. I come back and it’s boiling or close to.
perfect visual...thanks
Everyone has their favorite. But I'll take a smash burger any day of the week. This is my favorite. One thing I've told people whatever I make smashburgers they say they don't like thin patties but the thing is the juiciness and the crust. If you want a thicker burger, just go with a double or triple patty. The one thing that you don't get with this type of a cook is that smokey grilled flavor, but it's still my favorite hands down and these look delicious by the way
Thanks so much...hey do me a big favor...save this comment and date...big things coming over the next few months....I completely agree with this comment
@@TheFlatTopKing I will be watching! I watched a couple of your videos in the past but I'm very selective and what I subscribe to because I don't like getting tons of notifications on my phone. I recently for whatever reason went down the rabbit hole on your channel the other day and realized very quickly that I needed to subscribe to your channel. We have a lot in common in the way we cook. I love watching other people cook, the way that I like to cook, gives me lots of good ideas.
Just how I like em and make em. Nice cook. GRIDDLE ON DUDE.
Right on Thanks Bruno
Love watching your vids! You are a natural teacher and you are clear and concise! Great job!
Thanks...much appreciated
Absolutely love this style of burgers, Oklahoma smash takes it over the top
Actually uploading onion burger 2.0 tomorrow
@@TheFlatTopKing let me know if you want a nonfamous taste tester
@@tomdelaney19464 hahaha will do.
I can’t wait to get home and give this a try.
Awesome
Great beginning burger video for all to use. Both of you keep up the great work & videos.
Thanks so much! keep in touch Chris
I could literally smell those smash burgers cooking. My stomach is growling 👑. Another excellent cooking lesson from you. 👍
Hope you enjoy Thanks brother
First, the look perfect! Glad to see the 600 in grill mode as well!
Much respect.....Thanks Matt
Thanks N&A!!! Can't wait to make it!!
best smash burger video. Some other videos are super thin and crusty like this
thanks
Love it, and the fact it’s not so messy you can’t pick it up!
Good point....
My man I enjoy these Vlog’s so much
TY Todd..
I really appreciate your videos! Wonderful presentation!
Thank you very much!
Been catching up on your new videos just got back from vacation. Ordered me a flat top king t shirt 👕 gonna be in style when I cook on my pit boss lol! 😎
Welcome back! and heck yeah brother. Made my day. HAhAHA
Thanks for the information. Kenji Lopez recommends using a wall paper scraper. I find it much easier to remove the crust.
Good to know!
Every single griddle manufacturer recommends AGAINST using a wallpaper scraper because IT REMOVES YOUR PRECIOUS SEASONING FROM THE COOK SURFACE AND GOUGE YOUR COOK TOP. Spatula comes in at low angle and just removes debris while preserving seasoning. Those wallpaper scrapers come in close to 90 degrees. I hope nobody does that
@@drdrew3 Yeah I second that. I know some do but they are also sharp and being careless with lead to damaging the patina on the griddle. Same way why I preach about using the bench scraper the right way
Best smashburger video I have seen. Great job. Try some beef tallow on your Blackstone before smashing. Brings to the next level.
Thanks for the tips! I have got to get some....Someone recommended that I use beef tallow in my homemade tortillas and now this so its about to be a must..
@@TheFlatTopKing. You can make your own. It's about the easiest thing to do.
@@jackfortune7653 any suggestions
@@TheFlatTopKing . Hey Grill Hey or Chris BBQ both are on RUclips. You won't regret making it.
@@jackfortune7653 ty. I’ll check it out
That 1/3rd measuring cup is a good tip. Imna use that tonight.
Awesome...let us know how it goes
@@TheFlatTopKing didn't have parchment paper but tinfoil worked thanks for the video and inspiration 😎👍
Thanks for this video. I picked up some great information here today. 👍😁🔥
All about that crust….
@@TheFlatTopKing I'm watching your pancake videos right now. Hmm, Jack Daniel's. 😁👍
Great video! Explanation was simple! Thank you!!
Thanks Jessica
Awesome cook my friend. Explained very well.
Thank you so much 👍
Great instructions👍 I'm craving a burger now😂
The day before we made this i could not stand it. I was literally craving it....Had to wait and its all i could
family just picked up a Blackstone for me (early fathers day gift)... this Sunday gonna do smash burgers. Love the channel. thanks for all the tips... From one shipmate to another, Go VOLS (USN -89-94 )
Rock on and have a blast...thanks for the support and GO BIG ORANGE>>USN 01-05
Great inspiration guys, and looks amazing!!!
TY ZEB
Very nice buddy! Great tips and awesome looking smash burgers!👊🏻🍻
Thanks Bud...
that looks better than some fast food restaurants
Do you ever put down any oil and butter for the patty or just straight on the seasoned griddle? Looked fantastic!!!
I do not. Remember the last time you cook you should always add oil to the ftg to make sure it does not rust. That amount should be good enough to get you through. I aslo think by not adding any extra you allow the beef to spread farther and therefore more curst
Dude is funny. Great looking burgers bro.
Thanks bud
Love this! I already knew this but it was like you confirming I was right! 😂. I’m making your pizza smash burgers on Saturday. I cannot wait!
I want to see the results....
@@TheFlatTopKing you most definitely will. It will be on FB and IG
DUDE I’ve cooked these on 2 separate occasions for a grip of family and we all loved them! They SMACK homie!
Right on! cheers
Thank you gotta try this tonight
Awesome
Yea brother as soon as you flipped them I knew you were valid, Tried a batch earlier before watching and i see now i flipped them too early! Trying a second batch now!
Appreciate that...cheers
That’s crazy about the Hawk! I’d be distracted too!!!
ahahha We wanted to show it...But we thought people would be upset and report it...never seen anything that close...crazy
It’s too bad we have to worry about sharing things that occur in nature!
Your highness, I just made my first smash burgers ever in a skillet on a stove top. I used 73/27, I kept the meatballs small, packed em loose, smashed em for a few seconds and just let ‘em cook. Flip, and then the clincher, deluxe American cheese slices. Ketchup, mustard and that was all she wrote. They were, hands down, the best burgers I ever made. Thank you.
Hey thats awesome.....truly....thanks for sharing
Good job. I really enjoy your channel.
Ty Jemez
I. Gonna try these, thank you
Hope you enjoy
