Here is some pics from my smashburger experiment from earlier in the week. In the small town where I grew up, we had a five and dime store. They had a lunch counter with a grill. I always remembered those burgers as being some of the best ever. This is the closest I have come to duplicating that taste.
I used my Lodge CI pizza pan. I bought this a month ago. Not only does it make a great pizza crust, but it also doubles as skillet too. Set up for two zone cooking with the pan on the hot side. Leave the lid off and let it get forevermore scalding hot.
Here are the players. I used ground chuck and made 1/4 pound balls. I also brushed the skillet with a small amount of peanut oil.
Live action smash down....as you can see lots of steam.
These cook pretty fast. I would guess about 3-4 minutes per side.
After flipping. Just like other posts the crust on the burgers was outstanding. I then sprinkled on some of my house seasoning.
Here is the plated picture. I like my burgers the Jimmy Buffet way...all I have to do is sing the song. I did toast the bun as well and served with some cole slaw and skillet taters. I was not only impressed with the crispy exterior of the meat, but these are SO JUICY.....you must give them a try. My wife thought they were the best burgers that she has ever ate. Thanks for looking!
