There’s never been a better time to learn how to cook! Smash burgers are dead simple with a good cheap second hand cast iron pan and a sauncepan clad in aluminium foil to “smash” with.
Thicc™ burgers are best done with a reverse sear. Put them in the oven until desired level of “done”, then sear them in a hot pan for a minute or two for colour and texture.
Burgersauce is just mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, chopped up pickles and black pepper.
EDIT: Oh, and if you want crispy af bacon, start them in a cold non-stick pan with no added fat and let them get up to medium heat. That way the fat will render out slowely and deep-fry the bacon in it.
While it’s never been a better time to be forced to learn how to cook, a lot of people are more stressed and more overworked than they’ve ever been and even in the pre-union days they often had someone cooking and cleaning for them(I’m glad that women have equal rights and autonomy now but the point remains). Fact is, for a lot of people I really understand the hesitation. I can cook just fine, and try not to eat out, but I will find myself just doing crackers/cheese/meat instead of cooking a full meal just out of a lack of motivation.
