The Art of Smashed Burger Patties: Why They’re Used to Make the Best Burgers


Smashed Patty

At Burger Room, we’re all about serving up the juiciest, most flavorful burgers in town, and there’s one cooking technique that sets our burgers apart: the smashed patty. If you haven’t experienced the magic of a smashed burger patty yet, you’re in for a treat. Let’s dive into what makes smashed patties so special and why they should be your go-to choice when craving a burger masterpiece.

What Is a Smashed Burger Patty?

A smashed burger patty is exactly what it sounds like—a ball of ground beef pressed firmly onto a hot griddle or flat-top grill. This process creates a thin, crispy exterior while locking in the natural juices. Unlike traditional thicker patties, smashed patties maximize surface area, ensuring every bite is packed with texture and flavor.

The Benefits of Smashed Burger Patties

1. Flavor-Packed Crust (Maillard Reaction)

When the beef hits the hot griddle and gets smashed, something magical happens—the Maillard reaction. This chemical reaction occurs when proteins and sugars in the meat caramelize, creating that golden-brown crust packed with umami goodness. Every bite delivers a flavor explosion, and that’s something you can taste in every Burger Room burger.

2. Juicy Interior

Smashed patties lock in juices better than you might think. By searing the exterior quickly, the inside stays moist and tender. It’s the perfect balance of crispy and succulent in every bite.

3. Crispy Edges

The edges of a smashed patty are a crispy lover's dream. The flattened edges cook to perfection, adding a satisfying crunch that contrasts beautifully with the patty’s juicy center.

4. Fast Cooking Time

Because smashed patties are thin, they cook fairly quickly. This ensures freshness and minimizes overcooking. At Burger Room, this means your order is always made fresh and served hot.

5. Ideal for Stackable Burgers

Smashed patties are perfect for layering. Want a double or even triple-stacked burger? The patties stack easily without overpowering the bun or toppings.
