Smash burgers, the original recipe
The Smash Burger is a culinary classic, known worldwide for its irresistible juiciness and crispy exterior. The secret to this burger lies in its unique cooking method: the meat is "smashed" directly onto a hot plancha or pan, which creates a delicious caramelized crust while keeping the inside tender and juicy. This technique delivers an intense burst of flavor, and the best part is, it's super easy and quick to make at home. Follow this recipe to whip up an authentic Smash Burger and find out why it's such a favorite among burger lovers!

How to make it:
- Cut your burger bun in half, spread butter on the inside, and toast it briefly to get a nice crispy bun.
- Take 100 grams of seasoned ground beef and form it into a ball. Place it on your preheated skillet or plancha.
- Use the Smash Burger Tool to smash the beef down as flat as you can. This gives you those crispy bits packed with flavor.
- Cook the burger for a few minutes, flipping halfway through to get it fully cooked. Don't leave, this goes really fast!
- Mix up a sauce using mayo, ketchup, mustard, and a splash of pickle juice.
- Now, create your burger: bottom bun, burger, cheddar cheese (add more burgers and cheese if you like), your sauce, and then top it off with the top bun.
Enjoy!
