    6:35 What's funny is often in fast food/ restaurants at least, we've found that or a star of David are ideal. Both are easy to get a perfect amount of sauce on the burger, letting it spread evenly. Both are also very easy to do quickly when the restaurant is in a rush without messing up.

    Babish you need to try these with onions. Slice them up thin with a deli slicer, then lay them on top of the beef before smashing. Then after you flip them the onions get cooked directly and turn out perfect. Top with American and give them a squirt of water to steam before topping with pickle, mustard, and ketchup

    Yes! (to the mint comment) I've heard (not a mintologist) that muddling the mint releases too much chlorophyll, which is really bitter. Instead, use a larger quantity of mint and clap it like Jose said. I think I notice a difference in aroma and flavor, but I can't be sure it isn't the power of suggestion.

    Pre-mixing salt into the burger results in some of the proteins being dissolved, then as the salt is absorbed and dispersed in the burger, the dissolved proteins cross-link within the burger, essentially gluing the whole thing together. This makes the burger's texture rather tight and tough, sometimes described as "sausage-like". Also, pre-mixing seasonings requires you to work the ground beef even more, which also contributes to a denser, tougher burger in the end. You want pretty loose burger for smash burgers. Fresh ground > ground beef on a tray > > tube meat.

A human can casually, and without knowing it, alter the results of an experiment like that one, specifically in that he should have used a catapult with a specific, and known throwing force.

    As a Midwesterner, where the smash burger is from, this is a solid first attempt, but for those of you at home who want to try this: If you lack a spatula and the beefy arms of Babish, you can do the smash part with two hands. Use a glass on top of your spatula to get some extra leverage. Also, smash burgers are traditionally dressed differently than its unsmashed burger brethren. Typically, one tops a smash burger with grilled onions and/or pickles, with maybe a schmear of mustard or burger sauce, for it is a humble burger and does not go for the fancy frills of lettuce.
