How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- In The Fridge: Store cooked smash burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep the patties separate from the buns to prevent sogginess. Place a paper towel in the container to absorb excess moisture. For best taste, reheat before serving.
- In The Freezer: Freeze cooked smash burger patties individually by wrapping them in plastic wrap. Place them in a sealed freezer bag for up to three months. Store buns separately to maintain texture. Label the bag with the date for easy tracking. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
- To Reheat: Reheat smash burgers on a hot skillet for two minutes per side to restore crispiness. Use an oven at 350°F for five minutes for even heating. Avoid microwaving, as it softens the texture. Toast the buns separately for a fresh, crispy bite.
