The duration required to prepare thin, browned hamburger patties utilizing a flat-top griddle surface is a critical factor influencing the final product. The cook time dictates the level of caramelization, internal doneness, and overall texture achieved in this specific style of burger preparation.
Achieving optimal results relies on a precise balance of heat and time. Too little time yields an undercooked patty, while excessive time results in a dry, less palatable burger. Understanding this relationship is fundamental to producing high-quality, flavorful smash burgers.
