The best steak press for perfect smash burger patties
The Ukko Smasher makes smashing with a burger press easy and efficient. It helps you achieve a crispy crust that enhances the deep flavor brought by the Maillard reaction.
Burger press for Maillard reaction flavor experiences
The secret to the delicious taste and color of fried food lies in the Maillard reaction. The Maillard reaction begins when the sugars and proteins on the surface of the meat being fried meet at high heat.
Smashing a burger is all about this. When the burger is pressed against the pan with the Ukko Smasher, a crispy crust is generously achieved.
How to use Ukko Smasher for making smash burgers
The Ukko Smasher steak press is designed to give the best possible result. Here's how to make the best smash burger patties:
- Take the ground beef to room temperature about half an hour before frying.
- Divide the ground beef into pieces about 100 grams each and gently roll them into meatballs.
- Heat the grill plate or cast iron pan and add a knob of butter. Let it brown slightly.
- Place the meat on the pan and use the Ukko Smasher steak press for 8-10 seconds so that the ball flattens into a 6-8 millimeter patty.
- Leave the Ukko Smasher steak press as a weight on the patty so that the meat doesn't contract. Fry for no more than one minute.
- Flip the steak and repeat. Add salt and spices.
- Place the finished patties between the buns. Add cheddar cheese, lettuce, pickles, onion, tomato, and mayonnaise. Enjoy!
For the best result, use high-fat (18-20%) domestic beef.
