4 steps to your perfect Smash Burger
We want it hot
Light the fire in your BOWL and set the planchas in place. Give the cast-iron plates a few minutes to heat up and get your burger patties in the meantime.
Let's smash
Drizzle the planchas with heat-resistant oil and place the patties on top. Press each patty down with the spatula and use the scraper at right angles to apply extra pressure and make the patties as thin as possible.
Crisp on all sides
When the underside is golden and crispy, gently lift the patties from the griddle using the scraper and flip them.
The final touch
Sprinkle the patties with salt and pepper, then top each one with a slice of cheese..
