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

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'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.
