A community for anyone who loves cooking over fire, whether that’s antikristo, asado, barbacoa, barbecue, barbie, bbq, braai, chichinga, churrasco, inihaw, jerk, lovo, pachamanca, parrillada, or a sausage sizzle - let’s share recipes, advice, tips and tricks…
Usually I think smash burgers like these are preferred because of getting more crispy bits, not because of health concerns.
The thinner patties get more surface area with the cooking surface which makes more crispy bits
Yeah, exactly. Ultimately, it's just a matter of preference.
Food trends come and go, just as anything with popular culture. That's most likely why you're seeing more (thin) smash burgers vs (thick) pub burgers, which were very popular 5-10 years ago. Human beings are fickle, easily bored, and conformist by nature.
