First attempt at Smash Burgers and Oklahoma Onion Burgers wasn't half bad.
The spatula I started with was a bit flimsy, and the first patty got destroyed (in grease trough).
Switched to a heavier duty one and it worked great.
First pic is the smasher I used and the heavier spatula. Both worked great!!!
The samasher is made by Hulisen and the spatula is Rosle.
Then a couple pics of the Smash Burger , and then the Oklahoma Onion Burger.
Used 2oz. patties of 80/20 ground beef. Was $11 and change for a 3lb chub.
The sauce we made was:
1/2 cup mayo
1/4 cup yellow prepared mustard
2 tsb chopped up pickles (we used pickle relish)
2 tsb pickle juice
1 tsb vegetable oil
They were a hit. A friend said it was the best burger she had had in a long time.
I learned a few things in the process.
1) High was too high. Could not keep up with them, and I only had 4 on the grill.
Dropped griddle to med heat and that was much easier to manage.
2) Plan was to put cheese on one pattie and one with no cheese on top.
Not realizing how fast they cooked at the start (about 15-20 sec) I started putting cheese one each pattie.
So, trying to keep up with them I stacked a cheese pattie on a cheese pattie and ran out of cheese. Hat 16 slices for 24 patties.
EDIT: The buns were homemade. Made them Friday and froze them.
Would not have had the time to make them Saturday with everything else that was going on.
Just take them out of freezer about 4 hrs before we use them, Works out great, don't have day-old buns that way.
