[@wullaballoo2642]

Someone wanted me to make burgers and gave me 5% fat mince. I tried grated chilled butter to add fat but it just melted out and made a dry burger. Had better success melting the butter and skimming it to make ghee, letting it cool and mixing it into the meat.

Lol tru that is impressive

[@MM-PrayEverydayForUS]

LOL! So true!

[@ohlawd6763]

I think my problem with Jack is just the sheer amount of ego he has and how he INSISTS what he makes is amazing. Hes like a teenager thats just starting to learn how to cook some simpler things for the first time ever, except hes much MUCH older. If he followed just a simple recipe his food would be so much better, but instead he acts like a pro chef who has been in the business for 15+ years

I swear that Jack includes Pre-Heat times in the cooking time. If the recipe says cook for 30 minutes, he puts the food in the cold oven, Turns it on, and sets the timer to 30 minutes.

this is probably correct. I also don't believe that he cooks things as long or at the temperature he claims.

[@MeldinX2]

Since he is the only one eating it i think he can do what he wants. The ring is the least of the issue with the food. The reason it's disgusting is that the meat will get in every single crevice into the ring. It will be a pain to clean that ring afterwards.

[@qwormuli77]

@@MeldinX2 And imagine what happens when he next (and the next will come, it's why he left it on now) puts his nor rotten bison laced ring with tons of bacteria hiding crevices into the next meal. He can do what he wants, but just as drinking the contents of your septic tank, not everything you can do is something you should ever entertain doing.

[@DatCameraMON]

I honestly don't get how people can do dirty activities with their hands while they have a ring on. When I'm doing cooking or anything like that, I'm taking my ring off and putting it in my pocket.

[@andhisband]

I learned at a very young age how to fish rings out of the kitchen sink drain. Yep, mom took them off when she cooked. (But she was kind of clumsy.)

[@mdrudholm]

He used King's Hawaiian buns, which are quite sweet, and then he put teriyaki sauce on them which is also sugary. Not to mention the sugary teriyaki sauce in the bison tartare. This is one very sweet sandwich. Add in the the un-melted cheese and cold buns and you have something of a disaster IMO.

[@ZarathosDaimaoh]

he could basically just eat macarons with some grilled meat on the side , instead

Something that I’ve started to notice about jack is that he seems to just choose ingredients completely randomly. Like a teriyaki bison meatloaf with provolone cheese and banana peppers?? It’s almost impressive that he has been doing this for fifteen years and he hasn’t seemingly learned anything! I just struggle to understand his thought process unless he just feels like he has some god given ability to make up perfect recipes on the fly

Definitely the kindest reaction to the Cooking With Jack channel I've seen. One thing I particularly appreciated was the commentary on his cutting board, and that's the sort of thing most reactions don't notice and overlook. Fantastic job.

[@howtocooke]

Keep in mind that Jack started his channel because a business partner screwed him and left him with a bunch of cases of BBQ sauce they had made. He had no idea how to cook but had to sell the sauce so he started the channel to push the sauce. That is why he had his own teriyaki sauce too. He actually inspired me to start my own cooking channel. I figured if this guy can do it ANYONE can! Turns out it is actually harder than it looks... BTW, Chef James, feel free to tear some of my videos apart. The early stuff was especially awful! I can take it, I hope...

Some people seem to treat making a burger patty as if they are just mini meatloafs. They aren't. You don't need all these liquids and binders in there, just form the meat into a patty and season the outside. Save the teriyaki for a sauce if you really want it on your sandwich.

Yeah thankfully we learned from our incredible stupidity during the 19th century where rich clowns would shoot buffalo while riding in train cars and leave them to rot in time to save the buffalo population.

[@thirdprince4028]

​@@CrizzyEyes I mean, a very large reason buffalo almost went extinct was in an attempt to exterminate indigenous peoples. By a point in the late 1800s, the population of buffalo was below 600 where it had previously been tens of millions. Just mentioning because I'm indigenous and it was less stupidity and more intentional hatred and cruelty.

Jack if he could afford it should go to all the different chefs who discuss and critique his recipes for like half a year. Do a mini cook off and some constructive development. Plus I would love love love to see jack trying the specialties of the area. He clearly has love for cooking and follows “logical” steps for the most part, just 1 or 2 mistakes that take it completely off target

[@BigRoofus999]

BTW Chef James, Jack didn't make the Teriyaki sauce, he sells (or at least sold) a line of "The Best [insert sauce] You've Ever Tasted" sauces in some stores. So it's probably some mass produced crap packed with corn syrup or something.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Ahh okay!

[@AAblade7]

Another more flavorful and healthier option as a binder in stead of bread crumbs is a duxelles. I love mushroom on my burger so this is pretty awesome. One key note is that the Pattie’s shrink less or in my case not at all. So when sizing patty make it around how big you want it once cooked.

[@toriless]

I cheat and use a ring. Perfect consistent size and thickness.

[@uli11]

So~ he neglected to make a bison burger. He made a bison sausage or meatloaf patty… and cooked it blue… there is no way this tastes good… From an American former chef who made lots of burgers: if you want a good burger with good texture ~ you want to mix the meat minimally, and NEVER mix salt inside the meat- it binds the protein structure and makes it more bouncy/chewy rather than tender and juicy. Since the meat was so lean, I agree- add a nice oil to the pan.

[@dobiebloke9311]

James - I agree with all that you said. To be honest, I've never cooked bison, and have only eaten it once, at someone's BBQ. I have actually gotten to know a few wild bison, up close and personal, but that's a story for later. What Jack made is clearly a meatloaf, masquerading as a burger. The greater offense of all, is to use dehydrated garlic and onion. There's no excuse. As to cracking an egg with a knuckle, I actually do that also, but usually into a separate bowl, before adding to whatever, just be able to check for shell bits. As to the finished product, I thought he was going to melt the cheese. Clearly, that didn't happen. As well, a light smear of butter on the inner faces of the roll, lightly fried, would have done wonders. The burger is clearly raw, so no point going further on that. As to ground meat that is lower in fat, what I've learned to do (to keep it moist), is to add a little very condensed stock (I usually use chicken stock, thickly gelatinized), that I always have frozen ice cubes of) Just a little, like a Tablespoon to a pound, does amazing things.

[@toriless]

I prefer Pork Tenderloin or Lamb but Bison is about as good as AGED beef. I cook with many meats. Giant Pacific Octopus is so tender, at least when I have done it. You have to go to an Asian market to get the fresh ones.

It depends on WHEN you smash it. You want it EARLY.

[@maggiee639]

I personally prefer a smash burger as well, I like the crispy edges and prefer it to be thinner. Too much meat kinda makes me lose my appetite but I love a single patty burger.

[@Ash_Wen-li]

@@toriless Yeah, if you're going to press it down, you want to do it before the fat is rendered

[@nesamdoom]

I only crack eggs with a knuckle. Second finger outside knuckle. A soft but sharp rap. Left hand holding, right strike, and then pull to add. My way is less punching the egg, but always fun to see ways to do things.

[@leopdion5976]

It’s missing a good sear, also I feel that it’s important to have the burger the same thickness all the way across so that you get a consistent doneness

[@fuse4967]

I agree with you that I would prefer this burger done a bit differently. To be fair though, this may actually be some of Jack's better cooking compared to 'Aunt Myrna's Party Cheese Salad'. Lol

rare burgers are quite interesting, they CAN be good if the meat is intended to be eaten that way and properly made. I've been to a few restaurants known for rare burgers and tried it myself with both amazing and lackluster results. However, taking preground meat and just eating that blue is both dangerous and unpleasant. that sinew/silverskin will be terrible to chew through and theres no guarantee about the bacteria as you said. classic jack i juess. 🤣

[@toriless]

I salt it the says before and add nothing else, with beef I add a dab of BBQ and caramelized onions, those are too sweet for Bison, I use a reduce wine (with thyme) sauce and no bun.

You don't usually cook bison meat (specifically bison steaks) past medium-rare. If you cook it past medium, it basically becomes a hockey puck. I had leave the kitchen to explain that to a customer back when I worked at a resort restaurant in Montana. Often times ground bison is mixed with ground beef or beef fat in order to increase the fat content and keeps the meat from drying out.

Ouch! That's gotta be the worst "burger" I've ever seen (on public display I mean) You're absolutely right about toasting the bun & melting the cheese after you've flipped the patty before its done cooking But the worst part was... it was a meatloaf! As soon as you've put breadcrumbs in (in my opinion 😇) it's no longer a burger, it's meatloaf on a bun! Which, if that's your thing, is completely fine 😉👍 Loved the video James!!!

I’ve never heard of adding teriyaki sauce to a patty before cooking. However, a touch of soy sauce can be fantastic if you prefer a more well done burger. That way the meat retains more juices for longer.

My dad used to bring home buffalo meat often when I was younger, like 50 years ago. A friend brought it to him regularly at his job, ground and roasts, too, even ribs (You'll never find that today!). My dad taught me that buffalo for a burger doesn't need to be "seasoned" as it has its own unique flavor; however, it does well with just a good sprinkling of sea salt. No fillers at all, just one egg in with the meat to make four burgers and, if mom made her homemade sourdough bread, he'd utilize the two crust ends, chop and soak them in cream or half and half (or milk as you like). That's how I was introduced to buffalo burgers. Dad used to make the BEST grilled onions, grilled to the point they were almost too soft, and I like them that way to this day on a burger. Buffalo today doesn't even taste like buffalo from back then, but I don't know why, still find myself purchasing a pack now and then. I like mine good and rare, but I don't want it to walk onto my bun of its own volition. Also, a bun toasted in melted butter in a fry pan until it just starts to get crunchy along the edges is the best. Yum. Dad was the best with buffalo, and a master of the bbq...taught me how to make my bbq beef brisket.

[@fenrik8178]

Huh interesting to see those breadcrumbs in a can like that. In my country we typically use rusk that we already have (and then crumbling it), instead of buying it like that. (Unless a special kind of crumb is needed for something.) The sight of the bread and milk mixture vaguely reminds me of my grandma’s bread porridge, which I have a sudden craving for now. Am interested to try it as an alternative.

[@paranoidgenius9164]

How to deal with badly soiled & scored plastic choppng board, probably made from polyethylene (HDPE). Cover every inch of the chopping board with kitchen towel & spray heavily with white wine, or distilled vinegar, then put the wrapped chopping board in a zip lock bag & sit for 30 -60 minutes, use a stainless steel cleaning pad & gently rub the board with it, then wash the board how you would wash your plates & dishes in the sink.

[@wellschr888]

For my meatloaf I use a family tradition to bind. Egg and instant tapioca. If possible ground beef, ground veal and ground pork mixed together. Spices and other ingredients can be added. Like mushrooms are great in meatloaf. Fresh onions not dried. Fresh garlic not dried. Now I make it with vegan meat and it's amazing. Medical reasons keep me off meat.

[@adamjenkins190]

I cook bison burgers all the time camping. I've learned a tiny bit of un-salted butter on top of the patty if grilling, helps to keep the meat from drying out too quickly when cooking. You are correct though, it's too easy to dry out bison and make it tough.

He uses a small bowl in case his ring falls off and gets lost in his meat. There's less area to search. Ah, at the end, he takes a bite and begins chewing. We do not see him saying anything afterward. If he did, I would be very curious if there was a jump cut before he started talking again. You know, a jump cut for just enough time for him to spit it out and resume recording.

I like how even after multiple cuts and minutes of footage, the cheese still hasn't melted by the time he takes a bite of that gastrointestinal war crime. Dude just took a heroic bite of a cold, raw burger and teriyaki-flavored corn syrup, then hit us with an "mm-mm-mm." Man.
