Have you ever tried to replicate or take influence from fast food?

I tried this, McDonald style cheeseburger with no pickles, thoughts? Any ideas?
>Well cooked burger, seasoned with salt and pepper
>Pan toasted buns
>Chopped white onions
>Red ketchup
>Yellow mustard
>Slice of American cheese

Now here's the thing, what kind of cheese does McDonald's REALLY use? Their cheese is a bit tougher and has more of a tangy strong flavor, this typical store bought American pre sliced cheese I used is much softer and tastes a bit too much like milk, certainly no tang.

Honestly looks better than pretty much anything else you've ever posted. Too bad you left out the pickles; turns out really you're just a fag after all.

patties are too thick

I don't order McDonald's Cheeseburger with pickles. Do you even know why?

Protip. It ensures a fresh burger.

[Anonymous No.11416654]

>>11416615
the meat is cooked differently giving it a different takes and texture then you can get at home. besides that seems about the same

But then you're stuck with a burger with no pickles

Untrue. I hardly ever order with pickles but I still get old burgers sometimes.

They used to replicate shit from all the fast food chains and share the recipes. I'm pretty sure they've done this before.

I made something from one of their recipes before. I don't know if it tasted the like fast food version, but damn it was tasty af.

As someone who has actually worked at McDonald's before I have no idea what you're talking about here.

yep that sounds about right

[Anonymous No.11416699]

Nothing about how McDonalds prepares its burgers would make you more likely to get a fresh one by ordering no pickles.

What does that mean

[Anonymous No.11417316]

I like to cook slider sized patties on a bed of onions like how White Castle does. They turn out pretty delicious.

[Anonymous No.11417326]

>>11417316
even though it's basically the same as burger, the shape weirds me out for some reason

[Anonymous No.11417328]

Wendy's also has square burgers though.

[Anonymous No.11417354]

>>11417326
It being square or the holes poked through? The latter is for faster cooking time.

Nobody orders just one slider from WC here in Burgerland. The steam from the onions is what cooks the patties, with the overall design letting it cook through faster since the heat can cover more surface area quickly. Give it a shot at home sometime, the patties are about 3"x3", takes about a minute to cook.

[Anonymous No.11418273]

>>11416615
the only thing I know is to mimic the onions you soak them in water to make them milder. to get the right cheese I think it's a mystery but you should keep trying different ones every time. try the kraft deluxe deli slices. (not sure exactly what theyre called)

Actually I learned a lot about preserving food, cooking tequnique and seasoning.
what they do, they do well.

I make McDonald's Mayo sauce for burgers, use KFC crumbing for my fried chicken thighs /wings, I use a grill a lot more than I used to because you use much less oil and it holds heat

[Anonymous No.11418681]

>>11416615
I've never been able to match the signature bland texture/taste of their patties. I've made them as thin, cooked at varying heats, mixed the meat to varying degrees of pastiness etc. I can't get it exactly like theirs

McDonalds stylw cheeseburger is just the most basic cheeseburger in America. Fucking cheese, ketchup, mustard and onions. You made a fucking cheeseburger

[Anonymous No.11419178]

Wendy's style would have mayo, lettuce, and tomato.

Have you had Krystal? The exact same thing.
Otherwise just imagine a smaller, thinner, squarer McDonald's cheeseburger.

I don't know about the cheese, but in the US, McD sells cheeseburgers for $1.00. I'm not sure it's worth replicating at home.

And could be more expensive at home.

But good luck.

I replicated the Oporto's Bondi Burger at home using these recipes:

I've been lied to this whole time!

[Anonymous No.11421046]

>>11416615
Regarding the cheese, first try different brands, usually the cheapest are the softest. Second, don't try to melt the cheese on the pattie while it's cooking, just add the cheese when you assemble the burger and let the heat of the burger melt the cheese. This should result in a better texture.

there's no real way to replicate their burger cooking process unless you buy what they use (pic related)
if I remember correctly, land o lakes deli american cheese (with annatto obviously) tastes similar to mcdonalds cheese but better.
