The smashing technique can be done either way. Personally, I like to use a grill because I don’t burn myself as much. Another reason I like the grill is it is easier to ‘cut’ the burger off the surface. When the burger is smashed it develops a crust. That must be cut from the grill to keep it attached to the smashed burger. There is a special motion we use to make sure we get the entire burger off the grill. We actually sharpen our spatulas for the grills to ensure we can execute this step properly.
