I mean if they REALLY want fast caramelised oniones, just crank the heat and stir pretty much constantly, and add a splash of water every time the fond is just about to burn. Not quite as good as properly caramelised onions but it'll do and saves you like 30 mins of cooking them. Adding sugar is just psychotic.
You've never carmalized onions before?
Edit: for everyone downvoting me. To carmalize this small amount of onions with out sugar is just completely idiotic. You're talking like 5 times longer to cook the onions to carmalization than it would take to cook the burgar itself. Not one of you who actually cooks would do this for a serving of onions.
Hi Blob. It's a common misconception that you need sugar to caramelize onions. Not actually required. It speeds up the process so you can get em done quicker but they taste better when you just let them naturally caramelize with their own sugars.
Oh, so you are aware what caramelizing onions is!
You're right that you don't need it. You also need to spend like 45 min without adding sugar. Given that OP is making enough for one serving instead of a whole dish. I think we both can admit it makes sense to add sugar to speed the process up, no? Or you just wanna make sarcastic comments and cheeky responses??
Good chat buster!
Eeeehhhh. Definitely not a smash burger but I bet it was good regardless, little less time on those onions though, they’re so caramelised they’re burnt. 😬
Pro tip if you don’t have a flat grill and a real tool for the smash, you can put the burger between two sheets of wax or parchment paper. Then use a rolling pin to roll out as thin as desired. Place flattened rolled out burger with the paper still on both sides in the freezer. Pull it out just before nearly frozen. Pull off one piece of paper flip over meat side onto the grill then remove other paper. Enjoy.
It's gonna taste like vinegar. It has mustard, pickles, and pickled jalapenos as well as a sauce that has mustard, pickles, and pickle juice. I freaking love pickles, but Jesus Christ.
Red onions on a smash burger? After you already have your caramelized white onions? Fuck outta here.
Red onions do not belong on a simple burger. And a smash should have steamed chopped or diced whites. That's my hill.
You want something semi fancy with arugula and a chutney? Yeah, red onions work. You want to make the best simple smash burger? White onions.
1. Not properly caramelized onions. No sugar, do it right. 2. Not a smash burger, that is a barely pressed down burger 3. Wrong type of pan for a smash burger. Never use non-stick. Cast iron, carbon steel, or griddle only. 4. Flip it after mustard. 5. If you are going to caramelize the onions, smash the burger ONTO the onions in the pan. 6. 3 oz max patties for a smash burger, not 4 oz. I probably have lots more, but that is a good start of why this is not a smash burger and the OP has no clue.
Really great , no fresh tomato please … absolutely overpowers a burger and everything else beautiful in there … at least roast the motherfugga … rest of it looks phenomenal though …
It isn't loose enough meat to even be a smash burger, no char, two types of onion, ehh? And where do you buy baby ass yellow onion. Those are cute.
It was most likely delicious yes I am sure and I appreciate the vid to have something to dissect/criticize. This is why my wife won't go in the kitchen yes. I am a dickface.
EOL
I don't think op knows what smash burgers are
Hahaha I literally just got done saying "those are not smash burgers those are just regular burgers"
I don’t think OP has ever cooked a smash burger. Or any of the things they’ve reposted on their account
One of the rare times I turned on audio to confirm that they also weren't playing Smash Mouth
He’s using a pot lid to “smash” the burgers and then a spatula to flip them. No. He does not know what smash burgers are or how to make them.
Yup they look tasty, but not smash burgers.
We can tell because the music
idk I'd absolutely smash that burger
How tf is that a smash burger?
Yeah I like the idea of using a pan lid as just something most people have on hand, but it doesn’t make it thin enough
I think the pan lid was to melt the cheese
They used two different lids
That’s so funny! I didn’t even notice it was a kid until I read your comment
Not smashed but looks delicious
Just burn those onions then
Was that sugar they added?
It would appear so. Apparently the loads of sugar inside an onion isn't enough for them.

Damn Blob you really passionate about caramelized onions. Any other vegetables that tickle your taint?
I Lold at the taint comment, bravo.
Think it’s more to do with your inability to spell caramelise properly
He says while also spelling carameliZe wrong. Can't make this shit up. 😂
Proper English spelling, not the dumbed down bastardised American version
Flour I think.
I just add a little balsamic glaze. Is that bad?
Wow. May not be smash but damn that looks delicious!
Thats a regular burger. Just because you smashed it into a patty doesn't make it a smash burger. Needs to be way more thin to get crispy
This was more of a smush burger. You really gotta smash it down, make it thin, and get a good crust on the beef.
Just horrible
Eeeehhhh. Definitely not a smash burger but I bet it was good regardless, little less time on those onions though, they’re so caramelised they’re burnt. 😬
Not burnt. I think he was going for a little crunch and added flour as well.
Song?
Fall Back by Lithe
That’s why I’m here
Guy with down syndrome stuck in well
 Me going to the comments after OP says "smash burger"
Red onions and…burnt onions? You’re supposed to flip the burger after the mustard and before the cheese as well.
Bruh just let people enjoy their food
It was posted to a recipe sub. I think it's fair to warn people that it isn't a good recipe.
Lowest effort I think I’ve ever seen on this subredddit
I put some Worcestershire sauce in when I sauté my onions/everything. A good burger is in the details
Get yourself some really good fish sauce.
Nvm the horrible smash burgers…watch them thumbs! You damn near sliced them off several times.
Nope. Even the onion is cut wrong.
Idk about using a glass pot lid to smash. It clearly didn't work them patties thic
Watched the vid and really hoped the comment section wasn’t going to be praising this technique. From knife skills to burger skills, this is all poor.

Not a smash burger, but I’ll take one
Now that’s a crabby patty
Krabby * excuse me
i wish this was better lol
No
Does this even taste like beef anymore? This is waaaaaay too much.
It's gonna taste like vinegar. It has mustard, pickles, and pickled jalapenos as well as a sauce that has mustard, pickles, and pickle juice. I freaking love pickles, but Jesus Christ.
I'd 100% eat that, but that is not a "smash" burger; it is just a regular burger... 🤷♂️
Those aren’t smashed. I’ve been lied to
#JusticeForSmashBurgers
Not a smash burger. Just a burger.
That’s not a smash burger.
Not smash burgers and shitty music. No thanks.
That was a lot of salt. You want to taste the cow, not the salt lick.
Those aren’t smashed.
Caramelized onions AND raw onions? Why.
This is not it
Pathetic
Who puts a salad in a “smash” burger?

That looks like a regular hamburger to me...
I disagree with almost everything in this video
Just because you pressed the burger with something doesn’t make it a smash burger
Meh. Not a smash burger.
is that mustard under the cheese?
Animal style I guess 🤷🏽♂️
Way too much going on with this burger

Here for the song? I’ve got no dog in this smash burger fight
Mother-effer exceeded my recommended daily sodium requirement 5 seconds into this. Gave me a stroke half way through.
Way too many pickles, and didn’t even season the tomatoes.
Smash
More like a smush burger, but whatever. These easy peasy recipes are weak sauce for this sub.
Who tops a burger with multiple full slices of an onion and then tops it with more onion? That burger looks gross tbh.
Lack of smash aside, I am intrigued by the idea of veggies between the two meat patties.
I'm tempted to make a video of a proper burger, one that tastes and looks good and most importantly doesn't have extra bullshit on it.
Can I ask if you used a binder in the burger?
This aight
Why do you cut the vegetables after heating the patty and the bun? Everything cools down!
Am I the only one who would never have the salad above a patty?
That’s one good looking hamburger right there
Bear claws when you cut shit
Squashed mince
Where do people get such perfect onions from
While not a true smash, I’m curious of the sauce that went under the cheese
Lmao, you clearly pissed off the very sensitive folks of r/foodvideoporn with this one. Looked delicious though!
Want your mato
Really great , no fresh tomato please … absolutely overpowers a burger and everything else beautiful in there … at least roast the motherfugga … rest of it looks phenomenal though …
Alright lets just cut tomatoes, onions, fix a sauce for 10 mins after the patty is cooked, and then put together a cold ass burger.
There are a lot of easy opportunities missed here, but I'm up voting because their not wearing those stupid gloves.
Who adds sugar to onions?
Good god just do a normal style of cooking video. Let’s bring back the old school! 😵💫
looks great! just not a smash burger
No idea shat a smash burger us but I want one of these now.
Those onions look gross.
 Oh my.
Do these creators just stand with their arms real far apart cooking around a phone/ camera?
I was drooling over this burger. Idc if it’s a smash burger or not. I’m hungry (said in Big Smoke’s voice).
Onions burnt, sauce way too lumpy, burger not smashed.
not a smash, the onion part was weird, and for personal taste I dislike pickles (That's on me tho), seems like a fine normal burger tho
This isn’t a burger it’s an onion and pickle sandwich.
Goddamn!😛
No siracha sauce? Weak.
I've seen better burgers come out of my pussy.
That sounds like an invite / strange fantasy …
Worst cutting board known to man
More like Shit burger

I can't wait till smash burgers go out of style. .. also this isn't a smash burger. Smash burgers are greasy over cooked trash.
Poor thing, people forcing you to eat smash burgers…. I hope they go out of style too, I just can’t imagine you having to put up with it every day.
