Classic burger on the grill

How to make the perfect burger on a carbon steel griddle

There's something really special about making a classic burger from scratch – especially when it's cooked on a proper surface. With acarbon steel frying panYou get a completely different control over the heat and a fantastic roasting crust that you can't achieve on a regular pan or grill grate.

A great burger starts with the patty. When you shape it from ground beef with a little fat (about 15-20%), and then smash or fry it on a hot carbon steel griddle, something magical happens. The intense heat reacts with the surface of the meat, creating a caramelized crust – known as the Maillard reaction – that significantly elevates the flavor.

At Qookware we have developed acarbon steel frying pan, which is designed for this type of cooking. It can be used on grills, gas, induction and campfires, and is pre-treated with vegetable oil, so you get natural non-stick and optimal heat distribution.

The griddle is perfect for making burgers, smash burgers, vegetables or frying flatbread. And in combination with our smash burger smasher, you get a set that gives you professional results – every time.

So the next time you make a burger at home, forget about the frying pan and try your hand at a carbon steel griddle. It will take your burger to the next level – in terms of taste, texture and crispiness.
