How to Make a Smash Burger
Burger Temperature Chart
For best results, I recommend always using a meat thermometer, and following our Burger Temperature Chart! This is the most useful tool for checking if your beef is done to your liking. The USDA recommends ground beef be cooked to a minimum of 160°F.
Smash Burger Recipes Tips
You may be tempted to lift the burgers to check how they’re browning: don’t! Don’t mess with the burgers at all while they’re cooking. Instead, watch the edges of the burgers to see how they’re browning.Smash burgers are thin, fatty, and cook over high heat, so they won’t take long to cook. On the surface of the burger, some juices will pool up - this means the fat is rendering and the burgers are nearly ready to flip.
