If you decide to render your own tallow, do it outside to avoid the wrath of your wife/gf/SO.

Incidentally, you can just buy beef tallow. It's reasonably priced and typically comes in 1 quart containers. I use it for soapmaking, but the stuff the soap supply stores sell is food grade/edible and tastes fine.

Finally, if you know anybody who hunts deer, ask them to save both the true suet and the lacy fat in the abdominal cavity in a gallon ziploc for you. A lot of folks toss it out because they superstitiously think it doesn't taste good (part of this myth comes from confusion with intramuscular fat, which will sometimes taste gamey, depending on the deer's age, diet, and what was done with the carcass after field dressing), but in fact it tastes as good as anything as long as you get it cold in a reasonable timeframe and then render it down.

I'm rendering it down as we speak! I have it in the slow cooker and under the hood with the extractor going, no real smell problems. I'm also in Finland and I have never seen lard or tallow for sale in stores here.

(I was too lazy to make everything this finely chopped)

Well the smell did come, and it doesn't go away when you use it either, made fries last night in it. So all in all I am not sure this was to my tastes over just plain vegetable oils.

For those of you with a good smashburg game, turns out Turkey works pretty well for that same process. Hot steel, ball of meat, sizzle, smash, season, sear, flip (regard that maillard), season, cheese, cook, onto buns.

They went so fast there is no photographic evidence.

Also I did whole grilled sweet onion slices before the turkey burgs and drat son, they were good on dem burgs.

Blazing hot cast iron, 2oz ball of beef, toss into pan and smash to hell, flip and add cheese. Enjoy.

I just use a bench scraper for both smashing the patties, and scraping them free to flip.

Yeah, it is tough to beat a good smash burg.

And as always from the thread advice:

Buy something decent to smash them with. It makes a world of difference.

It's been posted a few times in each burger thread but this thing is magic:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003AQAYKC/?pldnSite=1

I press mine down with a mason jar, so the patties are under half an inch thick.

Smash on a flat metal surface like cast iron or pizza steel. Don't use a nonstick pan, you want to scrape the crust up.

E: also, don't use lean beef. 80/20 at the most, if you just can't find like, 70/30 (it's hard to find here)

But be aware that linked spatula will not bend like the one in the above picture. I think it could support my weight. Truly an awesome spatula.

I haven't used that spatula above but I have used this since 2012 and it's by far my favorite spatula, perfect for cooking burgers
https://www.countryknives.com/shop-by-department/kitchen-and-professional/dexter-russell-s2496b-16140-6-x-2-offset-spatula/

And I just made a quick smash burger after getting home and I skipped all the seasoning and just fried it in pre-salted butter and oil. Man it came out good, the condiments give enough salt as is and the burger patty just had such a good, fresh meaty flavor, much more like what you get in a restaurant. I will be making burgers like this in the future, less is more.

It was raining on Saturday so I made smashburgers for dinner. 12" cast iron skillet and my regular stainless spatula. Wife & kids loved 'em. I think I actually prefer doing it this way to grilling, they come out so juicy, and it's quick and convenient to boot.

Was going to cook smashburgs yesterday but wife had bought Pork and Apple patties.

Attempting to cook said patties resulted is a mushy pile of grey stodge.

I politely told her that only pork and apple sausages were permitted in our house from now on, and made a fried chicken sandwich instead.
