I've tried smashed burgers inside on the stove with a stainless steel skillet a few times. Delicious, but smoky. I thought I'd try them with the same skillet, but on the gas grill outside instead. I heated the grill up to 550 degrees or so, and added the skillet. Let it pre-heat for a bit. Added the burgers, and proceeded to smash. Needed to adjust the angle of the skillet, so grabbed the handle full-on. Ouch! (And other less-friendly words).
Burgers didn't turn out great, They didn't get enough of a crust on them. Was too focused on dealing with the burned hand. Don't think I'll get much use out of the hand over the next few days
On the bright side, now I have a more pressing excuse to buy a Baking Steel! I'm so used to handling the skillet barehanded inside on the stove, that I fear I'd make the same mistake again if I used the skillet in the grill again. So clearly I "need" a handle-free Baking Steel!
