fuck smash patties

give me a thick medium rare patty any day of the week.

smash patties are for meat haters and people who skimp on meat

>> No.19274717

Stop using the term "thick" to describe normal burgers. It's the same shit that happened to licorice when "red licorice" became a thing and everyone started calling licorice "black licorice". Of course it's fucking black. It's always been black. Why the fuck are you using a stupid name for a thing that's been around forever just because some new meme version of it is a passing fad?

I agree.
Smash burgers really never give you that taste of meat compared to a full size one.
Steak burgers aren't great, but that middle ground is ideal.

lol, I just do 3 smashed patties of 100 gram each. With cheese inbetween every patty, it's far superior to thick patties.

Disagree, the char is the best part, patties over 1cm thick are shit. Minimum 2 patties.

The ideal burger is 3/4" thick.

Meat doesn't have a taste. Thats why smash is superior - salted, charred fat.

Just put literal charcoal on your burgers then retard.

Smash burgers are so thin I can eat 3 or 4. Same goes for McDonalds double cheeseburgers. This feels way better than eating a single oversized burger with a bunch of toppings.

Too small. Quarter pound and get that thing almost as wide as a dinner plate to allow for shrinking.

But all you're filling up on is bread and maybe a bit of lettuce and tomato. What's the point? Might as well just not eat any meat.

Tiny little balls just felt right in my hand

>> No.19277256

Try something new: divide a 1 lb tray of beef into quarters and lightly smoosh each patty to about half inch thick, trying to keep it as unpacked as possible so you can still see the individual strands of meat. Sear the hell out of both sides and never smash. It makes an extremely tender juicy burger and is really nice for a change every once in a while.

This sounds like a good idea, thanks for sharing, anon. I might even try powering it with flour and deep frying it instead of pan searing.

I stopped feeling bad for drug users a long time ago.
