Burger Smasher

(1/1)

pmillen:


I have the 10mm version of this Craycourt burger smasher.  It makes a rather thick 5oz. smash burger.

I like the uniform round burgers it makes and would like the 5mm smasher for making the traditional thin 3oz. smash burger.  But it has been out of stock for some time.

Can you recommend a similar one for the thin burgers?

Roget:
I don't have a suggestion on a source for a press for a thinner patty, but I wholeheartedly agree with your need for one.
For me the thinner the better.

My smashburgers are always a consistent 56.7 grams uncooked weight. That is 2 oz., which for me turns out perfect to fit on a cheapo hamburger bun. (just like you get from your favorite greasy spoon burger joint.) That gives me exactly 8 burgers per pound of ground beef. (Has to be 80-20. 90-10 just won't do, not enough grease. ;)) 
I sometimes like a thick burger, & 2 oz. of meat might sound pretty skimpy, but smash that baby flat and throw on a slice of American cheese, and the grease soaking into that bun will more than make up for the small amount of beef.

IMHO the perfect ratio for a great smashburger.

Sounds perfect to me..I add some thin sliced onions and cooked the smash burgers on that..personal preference. I bought a Blackstone 22" last year..really gonna use it this summer. I have a converter and instead of using a 1# bottle, I use a 20# bottle..with 2 burners I ran out 1st use. I'm learning but love my flattop. .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.
