The leanness of the beef is a big factor in making burgers. I don’t know McDonald’s ratio; the boxes for the meat patties don’t have it listed. I have to imagine they use a pretty fatty blend tho. Their burgers are greasy as hell.
I use 85/15 from my supermarket and they slap. I ball it up then season the top, place it seasoned side down and smash it then season the flat side. Flip when the meat juices on top start bubbling. The cooked side will have and shiny crust to it and you’ll know you’re on the right path
I kinda wanna try about 1/4 of a tablespoon of baking soda in there the next time I make a burger to see how much better maillard reaction it gives and also see if it messes with the flavor. It helps browning, and I have been hearing recently it also keeps more juices in the meat.
He’s gotten more into the “I found this thing people were raving about, let me show you with a glasses throw” and less into the “hey check out this dope recipe it’s so good I threw my glasses” and “hey this fast food company pissed me off so here’s their secret recipe”
I would also encourage “the plant slant” as another great recipe content creator and he also does shout outs to other good channels so you can springboard off there.
Thanks! I very much appreciate this, I like word of mouth advertising because people work together rather than they get paid for it
I like the maker spaces similarly, so Allen Pan is a good creator if you like mythbusters-type “is it possible to do” sort of stuff. 😁 same shout outs and collabs. He literally worked with them.
No but a meal can be close to $25 and a $25 burger is just an overly thick patty stacked too high with too many ingredients. Anyone can make that at home
Secret to White Castle burgers is steaming the patty over onions on the pan/griddle and putting the bottom bun on while steaming.
Secret to McDonald’s burgers is salt pepper and a touch of msg.
Big Mac sauce is ketchup mayo touch of mustard and some relish
Popeyes chicken is just buttermilk marinated chicken coated with flour cornstarch and a touch of baking soda.
More wholesome fast food at home and it’s cheaper too
I work at MacDonald’s and the seasoning shakers ingredient list (because the spices come already mixed) contain a lot more than just those 3 things.
Because they add extra stabilizers and preservatives. Try it at home and the patties will taste the same.
It also has cumin, onion, and garlic powder in it.
Tried those mixed with the salt pepper and msg and it didn’t taste as similar
