You don't use a shiton of oil. Just a little.

>>13083518

who the fuck uses oil to make a burger?

>>13083537
>do americans REALLY?!

cooking pancakes in a pan is kind of an ass. need lot of oil. any pancake tips?

>>13083518
>>13083384
how do you remember to breathe?

>>13083548

describe what makes pancakes difficult for you and why you think you need so much oil

>>13083537
Everyone does you imbecile

>>13083518
I cook with saved bacon grease so that even if something takes up the oil flavor IDGAF because it's still tasty. Not some hydrogenated vegetable-canola blend bull shit.

>>13083561
>Everyone does you imbecile

please be trolling

>>13083537
Are you serious?

>>13083587

I can understand stupid people might do something like use oil to make a burger and make a thread complaining about how it makes their bun soggy, crazy concept I know...

>>13083606
Stupid people don't know how to cook with oil. Specially olive oil.

>>13083548
use a tiny amount of oil rubbed with a paper towel. or a little butter if you’re skilled to not burn anything

>>13083537
how do you think they COOK the patty, genius?

>>13083683

>>13083518
>The onions just absorb the oil and become sweet.
The act of cooking onions makes them sweet, not the oil, dickass.

>>13083537
people who buy 90/10 beef because it's healthier

>>13083518
Just use a teaspoon or so to prevent sticking. You’re not deep frying. I don’t see the need for more than 2 tablespoons at the most even in large, crowded pans.

>>13083858

i bet you think diet coke is a healthy choice too

>>13083858

It's not healthier. You fucking proles don't know that syrum cholesterol doesn't ever equate to the intake of cholesterol. Get that through your fucking idiot brains for once. Carbohydrates make more LDL than any fats you can eat.

>>13083858

>using 90/10 for anything other than sauces or filling

and one wonders why OP made this thread?

>>13083548
Keep the heat super low so they won't stick.

Get a good batter recipe or premade mix and do not deviate from the recipe or instructions at all.

You're welcome.

>>13083884
>wasting 90/10 on fucking sauces
The only retard here is you.

>>13083873
>>13083874
>>13083884
Meant because they think it's healther but accidentally a dumb by adding more oil back in

Also, frogposters, you should kill yourselves

>>13083561
>>13083587
>>13083539
>>13083683
Why the fuck would you need oil to cook a burger? You could just use a little butter, or even just not use anything because of the beef fat, you fucking retards.

>>13083921

thanks for recognizing me as a frogposter

yeah i learned to cook them low heat. but they try and stick. kind of a pain. then they burn

>>13083939
>use butter
Not everyone has shit taste.

>>13084072
>low heat for pancakes
You use high heat.

>>13084190

every michelin star chef that cooks steak uses butter, now I don't like making appeals to authority but I think maybe you got that one wrong, but with regards to hamburger I don't see any need to use butter or ANY oil

hamburger including leanest ratios have plenty of fat already, adding oil to make a burger is like adding oil to bacon, and considering I've seen people add olive oil to pancetta this thread is no surprise, but what's surprising is how staunch people can be in their stupidity

>>13083939
This. No idea why you’re all using any oil to cook a burger or any meat. The fat in the meat is more than enough to cook it in once the heat’s high enough. I don’t even use butter. Just heat the pan up piping hot and then put the steak or burger or sausage or bacon or whatever in. Learn to cook better, assholes.

Every restaurant I've worked at we deep fried our bacon. Saves stove space and gives you quick and uniformly cooked strip.
unless you're cooking your burger on a grill (which is probably going to be sprayed down or rubbed with some sort of grease on occasion) oil is kind of necessary for a burger. the oil prevents it from getting nasty black char before enough fat renders off in the pan. It only takes like a teaspoon. Never worked at a restaurant where any meat went into a pan totally dry.

>>13083518
If the burger absorbs oil, you are using too much.

>>13084259
>Every restaurant I've worked at we deep fried our bacon

>>13084272
Yes, have you ever worked a busy breakfast/brunch shift with 6 burners?

>>13084236
Lean burger patties (10% or less fat) don't really render enough on their own.

>>13084279

yes and we didn't make excuses for shitty compromises from not having enough proper equipment

just don't even talk to me anymore dude, honestly going forward I would recommend that you don't tell anyone that you deep fried bacon for any reason at all, seriously I'm trying to help you

>>13084288
Get a better pan then and cook with gas. I’ve never, ever added any kind of fat to my pan when cooking meat. Never. Lean meat, fat meat, whatever. If you’re having to add fat to cook it you’re either using the wrong utensil or the wrong stove. Applies to all meat, no exceptions. Best steaks I turn fat down side to start and it starts to produce a cooking fat within a minute then I flip side on. Perfect steaks every time.

>>13084408
what type of pan do you use?

>>13085035
Le Crueset enamelled cast iron. Platinum standard. The greatest. Literally nothing better on earth.

>>13085056
>cast iron pans are the only usable pan!
that explains why you think you dont need oil for any pan then
long story short, you are delusional

>>13085174
No, you are. I've been using these pans for 20+ years; way before you sad fucking kids were whining on about muh seasoning. These really ARE the best pans money can buy. Drink more of the kool aid, kid.

>>13085056

god I want one of these.

>>13083939
Imagine not knowing what butter is

Take the lard pill. It's really like strained bacon fat. High smoke point, great for "frying" (really, it's boiling in oil), and much healthier than you were told. And it works with cast iron almost like they were made to be together.

Oh, wait.

>>13083548
Why would you use oil and not butter

>>13084298
A school dining hall that I worked at also deep fried the bacon. If you cook a lot of bacon in a pan the large amount of rendered fat covers the bacon anyway. It's not much different from putting the bacon in a fryer, and the fryer is more efficient for pushing out mass quantities. A culinary event I participated in for school (a different one) recently baked the bacon on sheet pans, but they didn't have to feed that many people. It was a 20-25 person event.
