Who the fuck uses a handpress like that for burgers? Or is that even a cooking tool? Looks like a wet cement scraper/flattener thing.

Do people seriously not just flatten them out and make burger patties by hand? I mean, I could see something like that being pretty useful in a restaurant situation. Made of heavy cast iron so it can be rested on the grill/flame/whatever at the same time so you just plop the patty down and then use the press to flatten it and cook it at the same time for fast and easy burgers.

The point is to mash it into the griddle with a flat tool so that you get maximum contact between patty and the heat. The result is a really fucking thick and crusty sear. I've tried it and now prefer the double patty smash to a single thicker patty.

he's doing a shakeshack-style burger, and he did a pretty good job of it. the burger is super thin so it cooks extremely quickly. obviously it's american cheese on this type of burger, he didn't seem to use any unnecessary tools, the sauce is some form of thousand island, the bun looks toasted fine.

the only gross thing he did was blow out the fire with his mouth, potentially spitting all over the food. he should find a way to fix the flaring up in his arrangement there.
