So I've watched your videos for years now, and I really enjoy them quite a lot. But I do have a question. What is the point of having text on the screen for roughly a quarter-second? I can't even manage to stop the video in time to read it, much less read it while it's just natively on-screen. I feel like I'm missing half the video with these text bits. Could you extend them out another say. . . 2-4 seconds or so?

Love your videos and have for a very long time now! I just feel it is an ABSOLUTE PRIORITY that you know, in my HUMBLE opinion of course, that you've made a grave error in wasting the opportunity to title this video "Every Way To Botch A Burger". Don't worry, I get it. I'm sure you're busy doing great work that I and the rest of your fanbase love to partake in. Knowing that, I could never charge one of my favorite creators. Therefore, I'm giving you this first one free, out of my love, appreciation, and humble generosity! Of course, the next one I will absolutely have to charge you for, possibly along with a very small, meager, and minimal one time fee of roughly 100 percent that has absolutely nothing to do with the initial free gift!

Cameras and beef are not friends. Sometimes, they look overcooked in the footage, and other times, they look raw. It’s something every food KZbinr deals with. Here’s my trick to definitively tell if it’s undercooked on camera or not: has the sinew melted? If you can still see little white pools in the meat, it’s raw. Otherwise, no clue.

He’s also blatantly wrong about not seasoning your ground beef. The salt didn’t ruin it, over working the meat ruined it. Combined with cheaply processed store bought meat.I can’t understand how he literally showed what overworking does, and then forgot it shortly afterwards. Seasoned beef will make a much better tasting burger. Spread the ground beef out lightly, sprinkle your seasoning, then gently form your patty and light smash it. It takes something like 2 hours for salt to start altering the proteins in beef. If you want great burgers, and can afford $50 for a kitchen tool that you’ll end up using all the time. Get a small food processor and make your own ground beef.

That last burger was still mooing it was so raw. I appreciate the commitment to the bit, but I think a stronger emphasis on the initial sear followed by cooking with indirect heat would help prevent viewers from undercooking their burgers. If your burger is still falling apart or there are raw-looking segments falling off of the patty, it's not done. Chuck that boy back on the grill for a couple mins. A couple of polite ways to suggest it's undercooked that I use are: "I like the cheese to melt more. I usually give it 30sec in the microwave." OR "Could you get some char marks on there? I really like how the charcoal flavors it."

Store bought ground beef shouldn’t be eaten medium or medium rare. There’s no way to tell if the ground beef you’re eating is safe to eat raw unless you grind it yourself. A medium steak is safe because the outer layer prevents bacteria from penetrating into the meat. If the beef is ground, all that bacteria that was on the outside is just mixed in.

The reason these KZbin chefs don't like aged cheese is because they don't use them properly. You use a a thin slice and you use it with another cheese that melts well. Adding spices to your ground meat is fine, marinading your burgers is actually rather tasty and is definitely not resulting in a tough burger. If you add onions in your burger caramelise them first and use only a small amount, the rest go on the burger though it doesn't add anything to the experience, I agree putting onions on top is best. Mix some finely chopped bacon into your burger party mix, about a 90:10 ratio of beef to bacon.

Pre-formed patties are fine. Just don't mash them up completely and reform them when you can simply press a divot in the middle. And I was wondering what the problem was with that perfectly fine first cross-section, but I should've known you just want your burgers disgustingly undercooked. That "perfect" one was a real stomach-turner. I'd rather have an embarrassingly small burger that's cooked all the way. Even if it's stuffed with crunchy vegetables and topped with greasy cheese.

talk about a strawman. his burger at the end does not invalidate the rest of his points and also just because you don't want a burger completely well-done doesn't mean you want it to be disgustingly undercooked. I'm pretty sure that last burger was a mistake and an issue with his thermometer based on the burgers in his other videos.

Hot italian sausage, touch of cumin (or anything that brings a smoky flavor), tempura like onion onion strings ( I add a touch of baking soda), home made spicy garlic aioli, toasted brioche bun, and a layer of funky cheese. Honestly, a typical american burger sandwich with a hot italian substitution is awesome.

Two of the problems could be fixed by just combining them. Over-kneading the meat then forming thin patties means they'll maintain their structure on the grill, and the tougher consistency won't matter because thin patties are meant to be crumbly and a little crispy.

The major problem i see with those burgers is the lack of bun toasting. Although most of the points you do make are valid. My parents would often add chopped onion and a dash of salt into the ground beef. They never overdid the quantity of onion, and these were excellent. Melty cheeses always used. Parents always formed their own patties, as i do. Not over or under worked, and somewhat thick.

Idk how you haven’t discovered this, but seasoning is the way to make perfect burgers. Don’t stop with salt and pepper, add garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and parsley. This is the recipe for the most delicious burger you will have ever tasted, don’t believe me, try it yourself. I even add rosemary to mine but I get not everyone would like that so try it with what I suggested first. DO NOT ADD CHEESE! DO NOT ADD SAUCES! Enjoy the flavors of the burger itself.

Personaly, if you purchased your mince from the supermarket make sure those burgers are well done. If you got it from a quality butcher or made it yourself then go for medium. Don't forget when you mince you create more surface area for bacteria and you've now also put that bacteria on the inside.

Babish is a man of his word, he definitely pulled that last burger too soon. Personally I'm a sinner who puts onions, seasoning, breadcrumbs and a little egg for binding into homemade patties, since I don't care for the texture of pure beef ones, but thats probably due to the mince being too lean growing up. Also, I don't have a BBQ so frying them is a little different anyways.
@GabrielLabrecque28 күн бұрын
So true! I haven’t tried breadcrumbs and I usually add parsley but other than that, same recipe here. Most importantly, onions make the meat tender even when well cooked. Who cares if you see a little piece of onion hanging here and there? Most of it is covered by cheese and bread anyway!

Fascinating and informative up 'til the aged cheddar bit. I'm sorry Babish, I can't agree with you. Even if it doesn't melt perfectly, the taste is so much better than mild or plastic cheese. Just don't melt the cheese as much - put it on for just a few moments at the end so it just starts to melt in a bit, and you won't get as oily a texture, but it'll still hold to the burger well. It's like eggs - they keep cooking after you take them off the heat, the cheese will keep melting. So put it on a little later so it doesn't over-melt by the time it's served.
