Buying advice: griddles

  1. Outdoor models deliver high heat and size. Electric models are convenient indoors.
  2. 28 to 36 inches suits families and gatherings.
  3. Multiple burners let you sear on one side and keep food warm on another.
  4. Rolled steel needs seasoning; ceramic and nonstick are easier but less durable.
  5. Rear or side grease traps are easier to empty.

What temperature does a griddle need for smash burgers?

375°F to 425°F actual surface temperature for Maillard crust formation. At 375°F: a golden-brown crust forms in 45 to 60 seconds after smashing. At 425°F: crust forms in 30 to 40 seconds, more aggressive searing with slightly more char. Below 350°F: the patty steams rather than sears, producing a grey exterior instead of a brown crust. Check actual surface temperature with a laser thermometer, the control dial setting is not the surface temperature. Most griddles rated 400°F reach 350°F to 380°F actual surface temperature.

Do I need a cast iron or flat-top commercial griddle for smash burgers, or can an electric griddle work?

An electric griddle works well for home smash burgers with two caveats: it must reach and sustain 375°F+ at the cooking surface, and it must recover temperature quickly when cold patties are added. Adding 2 to 3 cold beef balls drops the surface temperature significantly. The Blackstone electric and Cuisinart Griddler Deluxe maintain temperature adequately for 2 to 4 patties at a time. For more than 4 simultaneous patties: a Blackstone outdoor flat-top gas griddle or a commercial electric griddle handles the load better.
