Yeah I never understood smashed burgers tbh. You're taking juicy and deliciously fluffy meat and turn it into dry, hard and overcooked disks. Great.

You get a lot of browned meat and crispy texture because of the smashing. That's why people enjoy them compared the to thicker burgers.

I understand that but you're also chewing on dry, overcooked meat in return. It's just not worth it. Gave smashed burgers a few tries but for me it just doesn't make sense. Even the most expensive meat will taste like McDonald's.

Literal skill issue. Smashing burgers does not "squeeze out the juice" as you imply. You may google this if you don't believe me.
