@@NuggetEternal light.Photochromic lenses block out 100 per cent of harmful UV rays and many people who already require glasses may find them more convenient. This is because they can benefit from having glasses that support their normal prescription and offer sun protection without having to switch between two different frames. How long do photochromic lenses take to work? Photochromic lenses begin to darken immediately when exposed to UV light, providing substantial protection within the first minute. After this, lenses will continue to darken gradually as the amount of light varies.The lenses typically take slightly longer to return to a clear state, but are noticeably lighter within a couple of minutes and almost completely transparent within five minutes.Are photochromic lenses affected by the weather? Weather conditions will have an effect on how quickly photochromic lenses change colour. As they use a thermal process, the lenses will not achieve a high level of darkness when it is very hot. On the other hand, they will go very dark in cold weather. Once they are away from UV light, cold photochromic lenses will take longer to return to a clear state than warm ones. Can I wear photochromic lenses while driving? Windscreens block UV rays pretty effectively, which means photochromic lenses will not work as well in a vehicle. Are there any disadvantages to photochromic lenses? While photochromic lenses are often seen as more convenient than swapping between different types of glasses, some people do not like to wait for them to darken and clear. Was this answer helpful?

[@MinistryOfMagic_DoM]

So I made these and they were pretty excellent. I did just the fish, not the buns, but I have made the buns in the past so I can attest to their greatness. I simply wanted to make some fried fish. I did deviat slightly. I used Season Salt instead of Old Bay as I didn't have Old Bay and my wife isn't a fan. For procedure my only change was to double batter my fish. I didn't do this for any flavor reasons, I just had some fish that was already showing some signs of wanting to fall apart when I was battering it so I hit it with a second coat to make sure it stayed togehtwhile frying. It did result in a crispier crust since double battered of course, but honestly it didn't impact fry time at all (4 minutes per batch) and it gave a bit more of the flavor since more batter/crispier. 10/10 would recommend. Would say for sure the Old Bay would have been excellent as well if I had some. Do think the double batter was a good idea as well. He doesn't mention it, but based on his outcome I'd be surprised if Josh didn't double batter his.

You'll probably never read this, but just wanted to blurt it out anyway. I think what you touched upon at about 8.35 is one of the most redeeming factors of the small McD's burgers. Their structural integrity is second to none. They can be eaten in any situation without falling apart and without leaving a jizzy mayo mess on the diner's face. This is especially helpful considering they have a drive thru, meaning a lot of people eating the McD's burgers will be trying to drive while stuffing their face. As a person who identifies as a man with a hairy face, one thing that drives me nuts is when people make burgers that are far too tall to ever fit into a person's mouth with any level of grace. "Hey I put 9000 beef patties and 24 truffles in this mega burger" TO HELL WITH THAT. I have no doubt that the flavour, texture, ecological impact, mineral benefits etc of your sandwich/ burger are 1000x better than the original filet 'o' whatever (is it even really fish?) but just wanted to mention that the functionality of driving/ walking food should be considered in this showdown. In my opinion anyway. I am no McDonald's apologist, let's be clear about that, but I do love being able to eat a small burger without needing a whole roll of kitchen towel to wring the mayo out of my beard.

@@LiftDaddy Well I suppose you don't get nearly 4 million followers by not being a bit dramatic. I bet they ate a couple of McD's off camera in secret.

I love filet o fish... I got a double one a while back and it was glorious! In Australia they use Hoki (Blue Grenadier) at McDonalds, it's a deep sea rat tail type fish that grows pretty big. They're a nice white fish.

[@christiantangerine4584]

As someone who has eaten the fish fillet religously, i have noticed the steady decline in cheese, and it still confuses me that a company as big as McDonalds still refuses to give me a whole slice of cheese in my fish sandwich.

[@robertscott6464]

It's always been a 1\2 slice of cheese. It's never been changed.

[@NEUNELFER911]

@@robertscott6464 we got full slice in russia. i can't believe filet-o-fish such bad in US. it's my favourite burger. i even take only double version of it.

Please do a "But Better" episode of Panera Bread's menu. I don't want to tell you what to get but they have soups, salads, sandwiches, bowls(with or without chicken), flatbreads, bread loafs that you can buy, pastries, cookies, and other desserts. Very good food!

[@joshc5613]

I vote for their broccoli cheese soup. Panera's is good but I'm sure homemade is better

It's pretty much like everything else at McDonald's (or fast food in general). You don't get it because you want a good fish sandwich, you get it because you want a Filet-O-Fish. It's its own thing. Or you're in a rush and it's cheap, especially with the app. Either way, there's a special place in my heart for it. Extra tartar, add pickles. Might try extra cheese next time too. But of course this take on it looks absolutely amazing.

[@katherinesmith8873]

"that's not going to stop us from making the best version that's ever existed." THAT'S MY PHILOSOPHY ON COOKING RIGHT THERE IN ONE SENTENCE!

[@merelarntz]

I'm honeslty so happy to see someone who loves sauce as much as me put a lot of sauce on, and then after taking a bite... adding more sauce for the next bite. I feel seen

Hey Josh! I just made my catfish burger a couple of days ago but instead of plain old mayo I used your sauce in this video... holy sht it goes super well with fish, it's so awesome that since then I've been making it for any fish dish I made. Thanks!!

[@mbt9763]

Your sandwich looks amazing. I wish I had one right now. I am embarrassed to admit that I do enjoy a filet o fish (in all its obvious sadness) every once in a while. I've had about 3 in the last 10 years and though it tastes good to me, my belly usually pays a price.

I make buns all the time but never used a rue first, I’m going to try this!!! I make my sandwich buns hockey puck shaped when forming them as the shape comes out less round and more hamburger shape. I’m 100 miles from a McDonald’s so that’s actually a treat for us. I really want a fish sandwich I use walleye.

former maccies employee here: chances are what you got has been sitting in a holding tray for over 3 hours, and the half slice of cheese is actually the 'proper way' to make it ):

[@arshad887]

Look. If they say a slice of cheese, they best give a slice of cheese, not a half a slice

[@NonsensicalSpudz]

@@arshad887 yeah I don't want a slice of a slice. I mean we could get into the semantics of it, because half a slice is technically a slice, but nobody does half slices anyway its weird

I worked there too, sounds like you're just a shitty and lazy employee if you used food laying around for 3 hours.

I do like the content of the videos but personally i think PAPA is a fucking tool.

[@freshprinceofgettingdisres2089]

The reason this was made was because a McDonald’s was near a really catholic (not sure I think it was catholic) town and for a day they would fast but for some reason fish was allowed that McDonald’s sales would drastically drop during that day and they needed a idea so they made the filet o fish and their sales were back to normal again Edit:I said this just in case people are confused why McDonald’s still has this despite removing flops before like the mc rib
