Adopting the right technique is key when making Smash Burgers. The author learned the method of quickly tossing the neat portions of beef between their hands from a burger shop owner in Japan. This technique produces shiny, smooth balls of meat, making them easier to smash. Smash Burgers are favored over thicker alternatives for their melt-in-your-mouth quality and the simplicity of their ingredients, which allows the cooking technique to shine through.
