How do you know when to flip a hamburger?

You'll know to flip the patties when you see liquid pooling on the uncooked surface. Be careful not to char the meat or press down on the patties with a spatula while cooking, you'll squeeze out all those flavorful juices.

Why do my burgers puff up?

The basic theory is that as meat cooks, the proteins contract so that the whole patty shrinks and puffs up in the middle. Making a kind of indentation or dimple in the middle counteracts that effect so you end up with a nice, even patty.

Do smash burgers taste better?

Any restaurant that serves burgers made from fresh (not frozen) meat probably “smashes” it. It is mostly to get it into the proper shape, but it does release juices onto the grill as it cooks and is smashed down. If it is cooked on a flat top grill, these juices will contribute to the flavor, making it taste better.

What temperature do you cook Smash Burgers?

How do I cook a flat burger?

Place the meat in your pan and smash it flat. Press it down very firmly with a spatula. Make each patty as flat as you can. As long as it looks flat, it will cook evenly without ballooning up in the center. This won't work as well on a grill grate since the meat will get pushed straight through its openings.
