unironically this

>>10036167
smoking pan on medium high with a bit of oil, smash the patty down with a spatula, wait till a crust forms, scrape and flip.

>>10036167
You could preform them with a mold
Freeze them, and after cooking on a cast iron or stainless steel pan, should be good

>>10036167
KANEDAAAAAAAAA

>>10036269
not funny.

>>10036167
smash them when you are cooking them

>>10036167
shoot the beef at your pan through a fire hose

>>10036424
This sounds crazy but i swear it works.

>>10036283
I don't know, I sorta had a chuckle

What do you guys mean smash? I don't cook for shit, so idk what that means.

>>10036167

>smashed and overcooked

The bacon, cheese, and bun actually looks pretty good, though - but I'm drunk and hungry.

>>10038354
Achieving tasty malliard goodness by letting the meat brown in the juices you're slowly squeezing out of the burger while its in the pan by exerting pressure on the entire top of the burger.

>>10038354
Smashing the patties on the pan for a higher sear to meat ratio.

>>10036167
BBQ sauce or ketchup used in the pan near the last moments of cooking. Flip it a few times, to get the moisture out of the BBQ sauce/ketchup. Then put the cheese on and let it sizzle a bit longer.

>>10038515
>BBQ sauce
Asshole.

>>10038446
It is also the best way to test if the meat is fully cooked. If the water coming out is still pink it needs to cook longer, but the instant the water is clear, the meat is fully cooked. However, I prefer it well done for all those cripsy bits from pan so I cook it longer.

>>10038519
OP asked what makes that burger look like that and that is what you use to make it look like that.

>>10038525
What? You don't have to use any kind of sauce to create searing. It's just fat and/or oil and high heat.

>>10038535
That isn't just searing though.

>>10038559
Unless you're talking about the toppings, then yes it is.

>>10036167
git gud?

>>10038564
You don't know what you are looking at, kid. Do you even cook?

>>10036167

>>10038575
>sliced kraft 'cheese'

fucking ruined

i've been smashing burgers all my life.

>>10038575
How do they make it look so easy. I'm too retarded to do 90% of that.

>>10038589
that looks like a burnt pancake

>>10038590
no, you're not.

You all need to shut your fucking mouth. Working at McDonald’s doesn’t make you an expert in cooking up a crispy smash burger.

If I see one more fucking donkey post shit like “youve just smash Xd” I’m going to lose my fucking shite.

>>10038575
I got a kitchen aid heavy mixer a few weeks back, I absolutely need that attachment

>>10038596

i want a really crunchy, crusty sear

yes, it turns out tough and dry. but i drown my burgers in wet condiments to compensate.

>>10038354
instead of forming a patty in your hand you just squeeze it into a ball with 1 motion and slam it onto a hot pan and press it press it flat

>>10038617
hey man, more power to ya if that's the way ya like it. I prefer mine pink inside

>>10038570
Yes, and I've made burgers plenty of times like that without needing any sauce.

>>10038446
Doesn’t that dry it?

>>10036283
You are incorrect, sir. It was actually very fucking funny.

>>10036176
this guy knows, OP

>>10038575
kenji says you're not supposed to salt the meat before forming patties but otherwise this is a bangin vid

>>10036167

I do not eat beefburgers

>>10038998
Yes, it's a trade-off. Smashed burgers lose more juices but they have a tastier crust.

And of course, the juice loss can be made up with toppings and condiments.

>>10038446
>maillard

>>10039475
Fuck that mutt, kenji, but it's true you shouldn't salt burgers until they start cooking.

>>10036211
This, but unironically

>>10039424
Prove it, ma'am.

What the fuck was that trash I just watched?
>A lazy piece of shit makes something, that resembles a hamburger, by smashing the shit out of it.

>>10038575
That beef looks too lean desu

>>10040579
Holy fuck this video is like the gold standard of garbage

>obvious mistake in the only written title in the whole video
>shitty quality
>music that doesn't fit
>senseless "instant replays"
>stock effect at the end

To top that all off it depicts someone making a ridiculous looking pile of dry ass meat and doesn't even have a shot of the final product. Mind-blowing

>>10036167
stomp on them
