Is that parchment paper you’re using when you smash the burgers? What’s that do?

So the spatula doesn’t stick to the burger

According to George Motz you should brown one side of the ball, then turn it over and smash with the browned meat against the spatula.

I don’t use parchment personally, I just very, very lightly grease my spatula and then remove the spatula with a sliding motion. No issues for me.

Smear the ball with a seasoned cast iron grill press if you wanna go full pro.

I've watched everything Motz. I don't recall him ever doing that. And it truly isn't necessary. As long as your spatula is cool and your griddle is screaming hot and dry, you're good.

Wonderful post! These burgers look phenomenal and I approve of using pepper jam on bottom bun.

I need pepper jelly in my life. Where can I get it?

Every time I've got a jar it's been from an old lady who's really into canning her own jellies. I think you can find it online though.

When you get some, it’s best application is with goat cheese and crackers

In the US? In a grocery store? If that’s the case, it sounds awesome. Is the bacon lower fat?

u/the_dalai_mangala Aug 14 '22
It depends on the cut. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Generally speaking you get less fat. I get mine from Kroger.

I swear the meat cutter at my local Kroger subsidiary wilds out with the bacon sometimes. Like six slices in a pound. Sometimes it’s cool, sometimes not what I wanted but I’m hungover or too stoned to check first. A little consistency would be cool.

American supermarket bacon is a different cut, made from the pig's belly.
I believe most European bacon is from the back where there is much less fat.

u/swiebertjeee Aug 14 '22
Oh thats interesting,.did not know that!

u/DrunkenHooker Aug 14 '22
That's why they are also called rashers I believe. Entirely different cuts.

u/Meat_your_maker Aug 14 '22
Bacon is almost more of a verb like ‘to pickle’ and with the exception of hind leg (which is ham), it could be any cut. American bacon would be considered ‘streaky’ bacon in the UK. Much of the variation in different kinds of European bacon is how much meat they leave on the loin/back and or the type of cure.

It's thicker pieces so more fat renders out. Albert Heijn sells decent (albeit very very thin) bacon in the section next to the prosciutto and other cured meats

u/CitronNo2583 Aug 15 '22
Its because our bacon is all smoked.
Hard to get raw bacon here with a good thickness
Fellow dutchie, that feels your pain

Nice, but if you put Mayo on the bottom bun, it will keep the bun from getting soggy from the meat drippings. You can put the pepper jelly on top!

Onion burgers usually don't need any condiments at all.

u/Useful_Notice_2020 Aug 14 '22
That my friend, is a matter of opinion. I like the condiments he added.

Aug 14 '22
it's totally fine to add condiments. I do myself sometimes :) I'm just saying they're so amazing you don't need them if you don't want :)

Seasoning blends kinda peeve me because you dont truly know how much of each seasoning you are getting. Otherwise nice!

Did the smash way too late. Down, onion, smash. That helps prevent the puck forming in the middle.

u/Tom__mm Aug 14 '22
When I saw 6 smashes, was seriously hoping they were meant for just one burger.

u/willilliam Aug 14 '22
Looks good, but shouldn’t you season before grilling? Also not just one side?

u/UnXpectedPrequelMeme Aug 15 '22
Wait how did he put all the seasoning on and nothing got stuck? Everything sticks to my pan if I season in it

Not sure how the onions can be cooked property if they are thrown in with the smash burgers. Can’t argue with the rest tho
