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.
