What do we do with all the oil after making potato chips?
Another Great recipe with GREAT TECHNIQUE!!! Toasting the buns would make this recipe perfect.
Toast the buns and double special sauce!
Yummy Delicious Darling Blessing's..⚘🎚❤🤍💙⭐🍑
You are now my culinary heroine! ……so don't smash the tomatoes? lol
Nice.
What's the taste : instead of lettuce, use
cabbage leaf 🤔
Stay away from seed oils they are toxic, use beef tallow for your chips
Folks toast your buns with butter on a cast iron pan !
What does ATK define as vegetable oil?
Julia just mentioned peanut oil, but
implied that it is not vegetable oil.
Again, what do you consider as vegetable
oil?
Animal oil, the best is Butter, Bacon Grease
as a close second.
Mineral oil. That is a single distinct product.
Great for seasoning wood cutting boards.
But, there are a MULTITUDE of other mineral
oils. Diesel is one, so is motor oil.
Now, which vegetable produces "vegetable"
oil, and which vegetable doesn't. And, why
is the vegetable peanut not a "vegetable"
oil?

Do you want your carrot cake to taste like olives?
How can that be worse than what carrot cake already tastes like? 🤢
What about cabbage leaf instead of lettuce on the burger? What's the taste like?
I want to make the kettle chips! And the sliders as well as the croque monsieur
ya'll are normally amazing at stuff… you need to watch some of the masters for this one.
Oh snap I thought the fishy taste i detected when I’m making fries was some wrong i was doing. I don’t do any deep frying and I definitely don’t make fried fish. I been using the air fryer. But I couldn’t figure out where the fishy taste came from…. Canola Oil!!! 🤯
I smash them using a square of parchment paper and a meat pounder. Going to try that sauce.
i'll take a burger everyday. Smashed or not. idc. 😋
Did they decide to film in their own home or did they change around the set at ATK?
wait. no hot sauce?
Bravo!! I loved smash burgers as a kid and now can't find them anywhere in Chicago…
5:33 o h my god the innuendo
Looks great but would use Coopers Sharp Yellow American Cheese. Much better than Kraft Singles. It reminds me of what grilled cheese tasted like from when I was a kid many years ago. You get it in the deli at Food Lion or Walmart.
Love this show.
every one of these is great!
Use a good spatula, ditch the cobbled pan foil thing. Saran wrap on a scale? Set the plate on the scale, zero, or not. Better yet, don't waste time with a scale, it is a burger not pizza dough.
I just love Bridget & Julia. Women after my own stomach.
One smashing burger for sure! 👍🇺🇸
now I'm really hungry
To actually see the sauce recipe you need to have a credit card for them. So here are the Amounts
1tbs minced shallots
1.5 tsp minced dill pickles
.5 tsp pickle brine
2tbs Mayo
1.5 tsp catsup
1/8 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp black pepper
Lost me at the plastic cheese 😕
Has anyone experimented with different types of dried vinegars? White, ACV, Malt, Red Wine, Balsamic… Which was best?
So much better if you toast the buns.
Love you..love ATK …love the At Home version….but please toast the bun!
So much 1 time use plastic. Terrible. Don't buy individually wrapped cheese slices, and don't use a whole damn roll of plastic wrap to cover your scale. Be better earthlings Test Kitchen.
Why did you not toast the bun? That makes a smash burger!
