  Parchment paper in between the smash Patty and the smasher works really well to keep the meat from sticking to your smasher.

  A &quot;I just want to talk about Rampart&quot; reference in 2026... I was teleported to a simpler time 14 years ago.

  Alton Brown has a turkey burger recipe in one of his cookbooks, iirc about 1/4 of the volume of the meat replaced with ground mushrooms (no par cooking, just ground then added) and topped with a tangy pseudo tzatziki. It’s a crowd pleasing recipe I’ve made many times. The mushrooms add the umami and moisture that turkey burgers lack, and the tangy sauce disguises the mushroom flavor well. I’ve cooked these for mushroom haters and they loved them.

  Ah yes, ground beef. The cheapest of the meats. It currently costs more for a pound of ground beef (~$8.00) than the federal minimum wage pays per hour ($7.25).

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSc2l27unbY&amp;t=1410">23:30</a> You sold me on mayo burger for moisture. You sold me on the baking soda for the crispiness. CAN both be combined for a super moist AND crispy burger? Or does it spin into a pile of sadness? We need to know.

  It&apos;d be interesting to see if baking soda could be used as a wash on the outside of the patty for browning as opposed to incorporating it throughout the ground beef. &nbsp;Maybe could be used in conjunction with fully incorporated mayo.

  I put parchment over the smashburger before smashing, then just peel off the parchment.
