Big front moving in, and wind howling about 40 mph. No way I'm keeping the grill or deep fryer going today. Butter-fried burgers on the stove, and oven French fries instead.

Ya did great sir

Your stuff always looks good...even your inside the house stove top stuff looks like it could be served in a restaurant.

Some folks are fans of pickled red onions, and some aren't. I find that they give me a lot more of the flavor I want, without the after taste or reflux. I love them on almost every sandwich I make.

Try them if you haven't made them at home, and I think you'll love them. Mix it all up to dissolve the sugar and salt. Pour over onions in a sealable jar. When cool, put in the refrigerator. All done!!




One large red onion, sliced thin
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup hot water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
peppercorns to taste
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat)

You need to replace that non stick pan with a well seasoned cast iron for smash burgers. Much improved flavor profile

Yup, I do love cast iron for most things, and probably have more different varied ones than most people here. Just needed a big pan, and was too lazy to walk into my pan storage.

Burgers the old fashion. Retains more flavor than grilling.

I made some a while back to see what all of the fuss was about. Still waiting. Didn`t do much for me though. One and done.

I had them at a BBQ joint and loved them, tried making some at home and threw them out. I think my apple cider vinegar had too strong of a taste. Will try again.
