McDonald's Double Cheeseburger But CHEAPER!

[@ady909]

Four cheese pizza?!

I used to work at McDonald's. The onions are dehydrated onions that are rehydrated, drained, put on burger. Even cheaper than fesh onion.

[@grayrothwell2015]

Looks boss mate. Camera quality is crisp too💪🏼I'm on a weight loss journey, smashing it I've lost 14 Stone. Toying with doing a KZbin channel, but haven't got the bottle. I do a lot of cooking, all healthy these days. Just need the balls to start a channel , stay safe. Keep em coming brother❤

[@Adam_Garratt]

do it! It took me ages to get the courage to start and my first video was awful lol. I mumble, talk too quiet, no personality, the colours and lighting are all washed out, hated the sound of my own voice (which is very normal apparently). If I can do it, you absolutely can mate

[@TMan786]

For a more authentic taste McDonald's uses reconstituted (or kibbled / dehydrated) onions which are made with cold water in a pan and left in the fridge to rehydrate overnight. You can buy these online. The big difference however is the way the company toasts the bun. They produce them in-house and use a formula that enables the bun to be compressed in their toasters without permanently deforming the bun (it returns to its original shape). This compression toasts the bun right through which is why you don't get that dry bread like texture with a McDonald's bun. They use this technique for all their burger buns except the fillet o fish which is a steamed bun (although the buns are identical to the ones used in the hamburgers and cheeseburgers). When establishing in the UK the bun supply was the biggest headache the company faced.

[@Adam_Garratt]

[@El_El_Guapo]

Dehydrated onions, rehydrated in a bit of water in the microwave will replicate mcdonalds onions. Which is the key to replicating the double cheese burger.

[@jamespage6628]

[@evilstevel3353]

Hey Adam...little insider tip for you...if you want it to taste more like McD's you should pickle your onions for at least an hour...you can just use the brine from the pickles you bought anyway or add a bit white wine vinegar...makes a big difference in taste 😊

[@Adam_Garratt]

oh really? i'll try that out. Thanks!

[@niphoros3962]

Actually, you should use dehydrated onions and soak them. It's what McDonald's uses and it really helps make it taste like McDonald's

[@annetaitt2852]

Yet another good one Adam. Must try.

[@Adam_Garratt]

[@CuriosityP75]

Hi Adam, I just wanted you to know what a godsend your channel is! I’ve been bingeing your videos from oldest to newest while recuperating from surgery three weeks ago. This video started auto playing a week ago and it got me excited to make food again. I made them tonight and they were delicious! Thus breaking my 7-month hiatus due to burnout. Mine were nowhere near as good as they could have been because all I had was ketchup, mustard, and British rashers for toppings. I will be buying cheese, pickles, and onions soon. 😂 But I love your videos! I will be trying out more of them soon. Thank you so much for what you do! 💝

[@davidpearson243]

Looks great I agree about M&S budget range it’s good value and quality stuff

[@Adam_Garratt]

Was surprised about that. I do use m&s when I like a treat, but didn't expect good value like that. The ketchup is really good too

A tip for you making this. Freeze your patties (70-80g raw meat/patty) cook them in a dry pan straight from the freezer and put some weight on the patty to stop it shrinking/allow it to develop a crust and cook to your liking.

[@stephendocherty6629]

Lovely Adam, I've never had McDonald's burgers 😮yep don't do fast food as I can make better at home... Pretty much like my smash burgers but I have them with finely chopped tomatoes, onions and lettuce with a sauce of mayo,garlic, horseradish and sriracha..

[@zunalter]

Re: the mustard controversy. I often order mcd cheeseburgers without ketchup so the mustard is the only condiment. It looks like they put the tip of the mustard bottle to the bun and barely give it a kiss so there is just the barest whisper of mustard.

it's like they are scared of mustard or something lol

[@troygrantmedia]

These look cracking mate. Good stuff 👌🏾 I have a question. When I make burgers, I tend to season the beef beforehand - putting any spices into a bowl with the mince and working them in. Having seen you just make them very simply and effectively; is there any reason to not do what I do, or is it just personal preference?

[@Adam_Garratt]

Cheers mate. The problem with adding the spices to the meat is you then have to mix it in, which with beef it can over work the meat and it becomes tough. Also when the patties are as thin like this, adding to the outside is perfectly fine. I've found less is more with a good burger. Let the flavour of the beef be the dominant flavour and all the other things compliment it. Oh and some may disagree, but shite plastic cheese is the ONLY cheese for a burger 🤣

[@chrisblunt7627]

I'm pretty sure some years ago Heston Bloomin-Heck made a McRipoff and he blanched the onions. Could be worth hunting down his recipe, although no need to be as extreme as he was. Yours looks delicious and I'll be giving it a go.

Don't get me started on the price of their beans. As for the chilli sauce, I suspect many use a commercial product for ease. Crucial is a brand I've seen online. I've also seen them in the small independent Asian stores. If the shop makes their own, I'd try to bribe the recipe out of them 🤣
