Smashburger

This video is safe for most children, offering a straightforward, educational cooking tutorial that clearly demonstrates how to make a smashburger. It's a positive, harm-free, and engaging how-to that teaches basic food preparation steps, but the close-up shots of breaking egg yolks and eating a very tall, messy burger might be a bit much for very young or sensitive viewers.

What Parents Need to Know

This is a simple, step-by-step cooking demonstration with no concerning content—zero flags for language, violence, or advertising. The video does a great job teaching practical kitchen skills like caramelizing onions, air frying bacon, and building a burger, which can encourage an interest in cooking and following recipes. Parents should note the use of knives (though not shown in a dangerous way) and hot oil, which reinforces the need for adult supervision if a child wants to try it. The video is purely instructional and fun, with no hidden agendas.
