Tips for Success
Use a burger press – A burger press helps you smash patties thin and even for maximum crispiness.
Butter your buns – Lightly butter and toast them on your Blackstone Grill for golden, flavorful buns.
Don’t overwork the beef – Loose-packed beef creates juicier, more tender burgers.
High heat matters – Whether on a Blackstone or skillet, high heat gives that perfect sear.
