Burger Buns
Directions
Step 1
Begin by portioning the ground beef into 3 oz balls.
Step 2
Flip your GrillGrates over so that rails are facing down and preheat your grill to medium high (about 500°F at the surface).
Step 3
Scrape any debris off the flat side of your GrillGrates.
Step 4
Once the grill is preheated, pour a little vegetable oil onto a paper towel. Use a pair of tongs to wipe the flat side of your GrillGrates down.
Step 5
Place a 3 oz ball of ground beef onto the grill and using the GrateTool or a spatula "smash" the burger flat. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Repeat until all 8 ground beef balls have been placed and smashed.
Step 7
By the time you have smashed the 8th burger you will be able to flip the first smashed burger you put on the grill.
Step 8
After flipping the burgers add the cheese. Continue to cook until the cheese has melted.
Step 9
Remove from grill.

Tonight will be the first time using the bottom side of the grates on my Green Egg. I have had the grates for about 4 months and cook at least once a week on the egg using the grates. Do I need to clean the bottom side before using?
Yes, a paint scraper will do the trick or we sell a detailing tool that works rather well https://www.grillgrate.com/the-grillgrate-detailing-tool-and-scraper/

Curious on smashburgers. Will the heat of the upside down grate prevent the meat from squeezing through the openings when you smash the burger? Really enjoy using these grates. Thanks.
A bit of meat squeezes into the holes but sets up and releases when you go to flip them. It adds an interesting texture.
