Making SmashBurgers on my Blackstone! Quick and easy tips and tricks for the perfect cheeseburgers!
Hi everyone!! Sorry for not uploading Blackstone content but hopefully today’s video makes up for it! We’re making everyone’s favorite Blackstone food. Yup you guessed it... SMASH BURGERS!!
In this video I share my method of making this type of burger. There’s a lot of videos on KZread about this topic but hopefully this one is unique and covers some things other videos miss. Also, its easy to make one or two burgers on a huge 36” Blackstone but in this video we’re making 6 huge 5 oz patties on a 22” Blackstone. It’s very possible, just need to be a little efficient in your preparation. In fact I’ve made up to 9 patties on the 22”. Don’t be afraid, it’s possible!!!
Also if you enjoyed this video don’t forget to like and comment below. If you really really enjoyed this video then please subscribe to our channel and we’ll create more Blackstone content for your enjoyment!!
And lastly, we welcome feedback! We’re always looking to learn New tips and tricks so if any of you have any pointers you’d like to share feel free!! I’m not an expert by any means and I’m always open to learning new ideas!!
Enjoy!!

Hello I’m a chef, I like your method of placing the top bun on the burger while it’s still on the flattop. I have a piece of advice for your bun toasting method, I have two bun toasting methods, one, I put 4x as much butter on the flattop as you did. Second method, I use zero butter or oil, make sure the flattop is clean as a whistle, and in one smooth motion, put the bun on the flattop and apply gentle pressure with your hand for 5 seconds, this ensures that the entire surface of the bun is toasted evenly.

@@CookwithRon great detailed tutorial thanks. Everyone (pro or not) has their preferred method and the burgers you produced looked great.
The biggest thing I learned about my grill was to get a stainless steel cookie cooling rack to put on one side of the grill. I cook my burgers first along with some bacon or beef bacon. Then when they are close to done I put them on the rack to finish, add cheese to melt and stay warm. Then I will clean off the grill, then toast the buns. Once done toasting then I build my burgers while the buns are hot off the grill...

Hey Ron, I recently stumbled upon your channel, newly subscribed, and even shared this video with my daughter. Up until now, I've been smashing my smash burgers paper-thin but I plan to try your method. I appreciate your teaching style and how thorough you coach and demonstrate. And by the way, by your regional accent and mannerisms, I suspect you're from my old neighborhood! I grew up outside of Philly ... the "City of Brotherly Shove," yet moved the family down to western NC nearly 30 years ago. Keep up the great work, buddy!

Great video! I love griddling simple, smart, and fresh, and your video does that! I recently saw a griddler video where they cooked frozen store-bought burgers....I almost cried. So easy to make a fresh, delicious burger; no idea why a griddler would allow pre-made burgers or hashbrowns touch their griddle. I prefer my patties 3 ounces per and make my burgers doubles. Like the idea of watching the bubbling on the top of the burger. Not sure how I feel about the top bun pre-installed on top of the cheese; I prefer to put the pattie on the bottom bun-just my preference. I also found doming the cheese helps with the melting and keeps moisture, then add the second pattie on top of the pattie with cheese. Not sure if you mentioned this or not, but I find that medium ground beef produces the most delicious smash burger! Keep griddling and keep sharing! I love learning new techniques and sharing my own. I love the comment section of these videos, as that is where the learning happens. P.S. like the wax paper carton for smashing. I have had the cooking sheets catch fire on me during the smashing...lol

Clarified butter or beef talow. Regular butter burns at high heat. If you like the nutty overtone it's fine but if you're just looking to make it nonstick with butter flavor you go clarified so the milk solids don't burn. Bacon fat also is a nice mix-in. 👍 Also.. Your buns will have a more consistent toast instead of mostly edge if you lightly butter the bun instead of putting the butter on the grill because buns generally aren't perfectly flat. Push down on them slightly after a few seconds. Nice approach on everything else. I agree on not going too thin... 3-4 ounces tops

Awesome technique, yummy looking burgers! A lot of people do not understand that the key to the smashburger is to smash it at the very beginning, as soon as it hits the grill. Many folks think they can wait until it's cooking, which smashes the heated (and flavorful) fat out of the meat. Bet those burgers were MMM-MMM-GOOD. 🤜💥🤛

Thanks Ron! I just bought the 4 burner griddle. Haven’t used a gas griddle since my high school/college days working in a country club’s snack bar. I could knock out 200-250 hamburgers in a day, but everything was about speed, not taste. I purchased all the accessories on Amazon I think I need, but seeing your process is going to be a big help. Thank you! I don’t think it matters, but you’re smarter than me- I’ve always added the seasoning with the meat in a large bowl, then made my meat balls. You sprinkle yours on. Do you think either way is fine, or am I burning off the seasoning having it in the burger for the entirety of the cooking process?

Do 2.5 oz patties get wax paper, smash them down hard and the pull the edges paper thin. Use his rub but add .5 part sugar and .25 part MSG. Don’t put you’re fucking buns on a 600 degree griddle either. They were burnt to shit. This guy may not like smash burgers, and that’s fine. This is not a smash burger though.

Not too bad for a beginner I guess. Rule number one for a good, tasty crust is to NOT use any oil butter. Ask anyone that’s been doing these for any amount of time and they’ll tell you to start with a dry, smoking-hot surface. When you press them, they will will stick to the surface, which is very important. As far as toasting the buns, I prefer to use clarified butter on the bun directly. This grill is covered in residual burned butter. Not good. I’m not sure why you would want to obscure the meat with a piece of cardboard. You should be able to see what you are doing. A quick, hard press down and slide your spatula off to the side. Your end product looked good.

Actually recently I’ve switched over to parchment paper (single) and it peels off much easier than the thick cardboard. I’ve never tried double parchment paper. But when doing multiple burgers when you peel the paper off the paper starts to get sticky. Maybe keep a couple pieces around when they start sticking?

Griddle can’t replicate the char broil flavor of a grill (especially charcoal) but instead you get the delicious crust from sear. To me, it’s a fair trade off. Now I’ve seen folks take a lighted briquette in some foil and olive oil and let the smoke infuse the Patties but I haven’t tried it yet. Maybe I should !!
I mean you just made a normal burger which looks delicious btw. Real smash burgers are smashed down twice as much. You will see the griddle thru parts of the meat. And there is reason for that. The cheese will hold it together and you usually make doubles because of the thinness of the patty after smashing it. The whole point is to get a crust on the meat. Good job on these, but technically, it’s just a normal burger. You’re not getting the full Maillard reaction on these.

@@cooltechno360 I work in a burger joint and the best way to do your burgers is to season them before you put them on the flat/hot plate. Once you have done that you don't need to butter or oil the plate for brioche buns because they are made with butter and will just get soggy to fast, then place the patties on the plate and smash them down and the amount of fat that comes out of the patties will stop them sticking. Depending on your size of the patties it will depend on the time of the cooking, normally 1-2 minutes each side is best, if you flip it to early its not the end of the world just flip back until ready. Steak burgers are still good to eat a little pink inside.
Dude! This was a great video. Nice, simple, straight forward instructions. I'm going to make these today on my blackstone. This will be about the 4th thing I've cooked on it. Happy 4th of July! Keep posting! God Bless!

Awesome glad you are enjoying it. I also have other videos on my dressing and toppings for the burgers. Also same here.. making these for my whole family today . Happy 4th
Just ran across your channel for the first time. I like your video, well done, easy to follow. I'm a long time Blackstone grill owner and I absolutely love it. I think you are going overboard on cleaning your griddle surface. Looks like most of the seasoning is cleaned off. The steel should look uniformly shiny coal black all over. Then you will have a much better cooking surface. Just a tip,
I love a good steak but sometimes a grilled burger is hard to beat.

Good tips on the smash burgers 🍔. 👍 Question is it easy to move your Blackstone around your patio with that stand ? I’m asking because I bought my 22” Blackstone at Walmart and had to modify and add wheels to my stand. Doesn’t roll very well but it does fold the legs to make it portable to take camping. I would like that stand for at home use. 🙏👍

Thanks for the compliments! Yes it’s easy to roll around with the wheels. And you’re right, the version I have is more suitable for home use since it doesn’t fold up.
Bun toasting a good way to find your hot spots, another way is to look at your seasoned areas before starting you can see where the burners are
Good job I like the process that you go through as you're cooking the burger

I'm new to the blackstone, but when I made my smash burgers I just rolled my meatballs in the seasoning b4 I put them on the grill and smashed them. Don't know if it is correct way or not, just allowed me to not have to worry about forgetting to season.

That works also but when I did it like that with my seasoning, it became a bit too much and too salty
The best step I've learned about smash burgers, is wrapping them then stick in warm oven for a few minutes. It gives everything a chance to meld and really adds a special something to the flavor of the burgers. Very important step imo. 🥰
Excellent. I think you have some great tips for efficiency. Id say number one enemy is the clock with this . One tip, that might benefit is to not put that bun on the top right away like that. Then, in that 2 minute or more span of time the grease and butter from the burger will make that side of the bun soggy. Instead put the patties with cheese on a seperate ceramic plate until the very last second to put that bun on the patty.

Many smashburger chefs and enthusiasts alike will tell you that you never use oil or butter when smashing. You want that meat to stick as much as possible so it doesn't swell or shrink into a standard griddle patty! That's also why a good scraping tool is so important. If you use a good grind with at least 20% fat, and get your cook surface to around 600°F, you can crush your patties paper-thin and they will still retain plenty of moisture. I do mine crushed and smeared to the point that you can see the griddle through the meat, and anyone who has tried one says it's easily one of the best burgers they've ever had. Never any complaints about dryness. thick, char-grilled burgers are DONE. Smashed 4 Life.

There's nothing you ever need to cook on a griddle over 450 degrees. 600 degrees is completely unnecessary and will only shorten the life of your griddle

My seasoning goes in the meat when I blend it in a large bowl. Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, sometimes red pepper flakes and or cajun seasoning. I also add one egg per pound of meat for binder. I never cook on high heat and take them off med done flipping once. Cheese goes on my burgers as they come off the griddle. Melting will start them.
Great job!. Try garlic butter on the buns, and mustard or mayo with pickles and Vidalia onions. I eat a salad of tomatoes, iceberg lettuce with any dressing( ranch or thousand island Best). Best fries. Take a potato bake it the day before cut it thick or thin fry in peanut oil or other and cook til golden brown. A perfect picnic meal.

I do my burgers on low, helps not dry them out, as well as using a 73/27 mix.
I toast the buns at very beginning before the grill gets very hot to pre invent the butter burning. I turn the grill on and when it just starts to warm up I put the butter and toast the buns this way the buns will be gold and nice.
Very helpful and your burgers look good. I just ordered a 17" Blackstone. I usually only cook for one person.

Cool, good to know! And I gotta admit I’m usually scrambling looking for stuff when I’m cooking most of the time, it’s totally fine. As long as it tastes good right? Happy cooking!
This was nice, one thing I recommend is adding just a bit of oil when adding the butter so the butter doesn't burn and turn brown.
The vent holes is new for me. Looks to work well. I also want to pass on when I smash, instead of wax paper, I put foil on my press. Works well and don't need 2 hands.
