These are my favorite style of burger. Smashed with yellow American cheese, mustard and pickles.

Cast iron is definitely the goat burger cooking platform

Nate, post your stuff where you want to post your stuff. Lots of us like it just fine just the way you do it.

There are a fair number of guys here who keep a burr in their panties. They mean nothing, other than validating the importance of their opinion to themselves. Other then that, they are only anonymous bla bla bla.

I don't understand that, Nate, since you are posting step by step pictures. Did you get the pms after your first post or after the picture post?

I asked about it on the Help Board.

To be honest I've read this thread three times and quite frankly I'm not sure what you are bitching about. I enjoy your posts just like I enjoy Meridians and a lot of others but seems your skin is a little to thin. Perhaps the Hallmark channel has a food board more fitting for a ...man...like you.

Martini, he was commenting on getting PMs about posting a separate thread rather than posting this in the WFDT thread. I think you misunderstood.

I just see whining. That's never a good sign.

Burgers look great. Wish I didn't have to read about drama looking for them. Y'all need to lighten up

Burgers look pretty good. Too much mustard and mayo for my personal taste, but otherwise looks good. I've always heard NOT to smash down burgers though because they lose a lot of juice/flavor that way. Never have went the cast iron route though, so may be different? What kind of meat did you use? Looks like two different kinds in there.

No thank you on the mayo, but that looks great. I will definitely be trying this method next time I make burgers.

I think he just smsashes them once to get them flat. You won't loose much fat like that.

Cooked in the manner discussed, the meat is cooked in its own fat - which is not 100% loss.... and seared accordingly.

When pressed on a grate, the juices are lost entirely.

Lose some in the skillet to gain extra flavor and crust. Good method. We do it periodically.

If you smash the burger within 30 seconds, preferably right away, you get minimal loss of "juice" since the fat stays within the small protein molecules just the same as a regular burgers.

I chuckled.

I apologize Nate. Can you do Natchitoches Red Beans? I'd enjoy a thread on them.
