I guess you never realize how much goes into a smash burger until you come up with a video idea, do the research, film it, and eat lots and lots of burgers. Hope you all enjoy.
Cast Iron Griddle: amzn.to/36p1B9L
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- My Perfect Smash Burger --
Ingredients:
- Two 3 oz (85 g) balls of 80/20 beef + Salt & Pepper
- Browned onions (1/2 onion + 2 TBSP butter)
- Slice of American cheese
- Martin's potato roll
- Lettuce
- Tomato, thinly sliced
Heat your cast iron pan or griddle to medium heat for about 5 minutes. Right before cooking the smashed burgers, but them on high heat.
Sprinkle your balls of meat with salt and pepper right before and plop them on the griddle. Immediately smash the burger into the griddle, applying firm and even pressure. Lift up and do not touch the burger. It needs to remain untouched for crust development.
After a minute or two, the crust should have developed. Flip your metal spatula upside down and scrape all along the edges to make sure that the brown crust is intact. Once the crust is released, flip the burger over.
Moving quickly, add some browned onions to one burger and a slice of American cheese. After another 30 seconds. Add slide the other patty on the cheese and assemble the burger in the following layers:
1. Toasted Bottom Bun
2. Burger Sauce

4. Browned onions

6. Smash Burger #2

Oops I don't know who you are, but it's time to watch every single one of your videos.
-
This may well be the most beautiful video on the internet, E. You are citing Kenji and evoking Alton, using Martin's potato buns, getting the terminology correct, explaining the science, and producing (depending on your cheese) the best bite humankind has ever known. Well done!
-
Its like I'm watching a burger documentary on TV. The quality on this video is extremely high
-
The cinematics, music, and speech about this almost made me cry watching this, I never thought of burgers as such a pure and beautiful thing
-
You did convince me. I've been getting tired of my cheat meals being expensive, unsatisfying and unsatiating so I finally decided to start cooking for myself and this is the first thing other than spaghetti I have really cooked. Thanks Ethan.
-
3:06 The part about the hamburgers being our happiness, independence and comfort really touched me 🥺 Great writing and amazing content as always
-
I started binging your videos yesterday and I'm just amazed how high quality they all are. The video and audio quality are great, the script is well written with great explanations, and the foods look absolutely phenomenal. I hope growth comes soon enough for you because if someone you deserve it.
-
I find it hard to watch chefs on yt bc most of the time, they just cook and never really tell you anything. But this man right here knows exactly what he's talking about, he's like a young Alton Brown lol
-
I love how your older vids are popping up in my feed. Can't wait to try it
-
I just kind of stumbled across your videos. I really like that you're willing to go a step further in your content and get into some of the more complex topics, such the emotional factor in this particular video. You've clearly put a ton of effort into your work and it shows. Subbed.

Hey man, I just stumbled across your channel the other day, and I’ve gotta say, it’s real quality content. Thank you for putting stuff on here that actually deserves to be viewed. Great production quality, but more important, great content. I appreciate your non pretentious approach as well. Keep up the good work.
-
Man I gotta tell you that you are an inspiration to me when it comes to learning how to cook, I wanna try this and I look forward to seeing your channel from to a Mil because you deserve it dude
-
This deserves so many more views. You'll get there man, keep up the good work.

Loved the editing! Thank you Ethan for all the knowledge in your entertaining videos! Applying to culinary school to learn the art!
-
I'm planning my first attempt this weekend! I'm looking forward to it and your videos have really helped!
-
The details on the production quality is insane! Color and all
-
This is, by far, the best smash burger video on YT. Thank you Ethan, I learned a lot!
-
Awesome! I've cooked hundreds if not thousands of burgers but never a "smash burger". I think I now understand the principles behind making them and why they would taste differently from a traditional burger. I'll give this one a try. Thanks.

This is some pretty elite content, you are inspiring a new generation of chefs...
