How To Make The Perfect Smash Burger:

Where the Grill Press really comes into its own is in the creation of the smash burger.
Set your EGG for direct cooking at 200°C.
Lightly oil a heated griddle or plancha.
Shape your minced beef into loose balls, place these in the hot pan, then use the weight of the Grill Press to push down until a thin patty is formed.
You should only turn the patties once, so be sure to get good purchase underneath to retain the caramelised layer on the bottom.
The result should be something approaching the ideal burger, with crispy edges and a juicy centre.
