Smash Burgers on the Blackstone

I don't mind admitting to staring at your buns. :shock: :tsk:

Nailed that one, brother!
 
Alright everybody, I might have officially outdone myself today in regards to burgers. I've really got into baking breads here in the last year or so but I've struggled to find a bun recipe that I like for burgers. Today that changed. I finally found something that made some truly outstanding buns. I made some absolutely killer buns and they really topped off cooking smash burgers on the Blackstone. Youtube link for anybody that's interested. The bread itself is soft and spongy but I went ahead and made some aluminum rings to help shape the buns and that made a huge different in uniformity rising and baking. Patties for the smash burgers were 3.5oz of 85/15. I think I've decided I like that mix a little better for super thin burger patties as opposed to 80/20. 80/20 is still king when making thicker patties.

Pretty Smash Burgers. I love em.
I grilled some tonight myself.
I turn my Blackstone on High (around 600°) to get a good crust.
I don't use anything too fancy on my burgers.
I make up the balls, and smash em with a couple of Lodge Presses.
Mine aren't as pretty as yours, but we eat the evidence real quick.
 
Beautiful!!....The Blackstone was made for smashburgers!!....and breakfast....and cheesesteaks...and.....:clap2::clap2::clap2:
 
I finished off these buns last night. This recipe is definitely a winner.
 
One of the main reasons I bought my Blackstone.
My burgers aren't even close to those. Yet!
Great Job!!

They look fantastic.
I've been baking my own bread for some time
but have never tired burger buns.
 
But AOC said you can't have burgers for every meal.

How do you get your Blackstone to 600? Did you mess with the regulator ? Mine only hits in the low 400s
