So, I once got a sausage egg mcmuffin where they had obviously pulled the egg off the grill 30 seconds or so early. What I got was an egg with a slightly runny yolk. I've been chasing that high ever since.

[@queenbe420]

Maybe I should ask for a runny yolk next time cause that's genius 🤤

[@watchyourtimeco1]

@@queenbe420 I've asked for it many, MANY times but they've never done it for me. I've only been able to get it a few times in the last several years, but it's enough to keep me searching. Oddly enough, yesterdays weekly McDonald's cheat day had 2 with almost runny yolk. Not quite the real deal I'm jonesing for, but it was pretty close!

Worked at a super high volume McD in the 70's and as a mgr in the 80's. It is very interesting to see the changes in process and equipment that McD has evolved into since. One store I worked in where I met my wife was demolished for a new road. When it was torn down I recovered the floor tiles where I was standing when I first saw my wife.

Folded were egg mix from a carton but actually folded by hand, too.

[@fauxque5057]

Mid 70s no folded eggs. No water. No machine. We had a metal ring that we'd crack eggs into. Mix them up a bit. There was a timer. Remove the ring thing. Flip the eggs. Hit the timer. Put the eggs on the premade muffins that you assembled while the eggs cooked. Assemble. Then slide the pan forward where they were wrapped and put in the bin

[@honestopinion6268]

Cool story bro

[@jake-mv5oi]

In 2004, we didnt use the clamshell for the round eggs, just a metal cover that had a reservoir that held maybe an ounce of water. We'd put the cover on and the water would drain slowly into the area between the egg molds and steam the eggs. Folded eggs, we had a mold with 6 rectangles to pour the liquid eggs out of a carton into. When the eggs were cooked about halfway through, you would fold 1 third and then fold the other third over with a spatula. You'd have to dowse it in liquid butter in a spray bottle to keep them from sticking to the mold.

[@Zaxares]

Some of them are. While the round eggs are freshly cracked and cooked on-site, the folded eggs are pre-made in a factory, while the scrambled eggs are basically "liquid egg mix in a carton" that's also cooked on site. Still, that doesn't mean the folded or scrambled eggs are inferior to round eggs; they're all still made with real eggs, just with different forms of processing. If freshness is really a priority to you though, definitely do go with the round eggs.

Do teenagers not go to school there? No business is going to survive in the US if the employees are all teenagers. They’d be closed during school hours which would include lunch five days a week.

[@sntslilhlpr6601]

No offense, but this almost reads like satire. Don't assume just because it's not all kids working there that it's actually a good job for an adult. The US is a hypercapitalistic place with nowhere near the worker protections or apprentice programs you have in Australia (not to mention affordable college or universal healthcare). Some people just get stuck and since healthcare is tied to your employer it's hard to take the risk of changing jobs, especially if you have kids. Notice the guy in the walking cast... a broken ankle costs thousands here without insurance and even with insurance it can cost a grand or so depending on your plan as well as hundreds per month in premiums. Even an ambulance ride costs 1K in my area. I'm not saying the adults who work fast food are the cream of the crop or anything, but it's a hell of a lot easier for someone to fall through the cracks here than in the rest of the Western world. Also, the minimum wage where this is filmed is $9.30 for both kids and adults...

I used to be an assistant manager in the late 80s. The process for cooking the eggs for egg mcmuffin hasn't changed much but the tools for cooking them has. For the folded eggs - totally different process using real eggs beaten prior to the opening of the store (at 6 a.m.) and cooked in a rectangular form, then manually folded on the grill after the cooking process completed. I can't eat gluten anymore so I haven't tasted folded eggs as shown in the video to know if they taste the same or better than the way they were prepared 35 years ago or not. Also - not shown in this video - in the 70s when I was a crew person, we made our big mac sauce fresh daily in the store.

Tales me back. But we didn't have the clamshell grill or precooked eggs. Scambled a ton of eggs in the morning for folded eggs and scambled eggs. Plus the pancakes batter we made fresh every morning.

Thank you for actually picking the shell out. I have had so many sandwiches ruined with a big bite of shell. I check every single time now.

My kid worked at high traffic McDonald’s and said it was controlled chaos, but efficient if you stuck to the procedure. Cool vid

When I worked there in 1986, the grills were way bigger, and the egg McMuffin holder was not fixed or automated like that. And WTH is with the folded egg? We cooked it fresh and folded it ourselves. We also built the sandwich’s when done cooking. Man things sure have changed.

The moral of this video: Cracked eggs > folded eggs

[@robertsanford6786]

This is so damn interesting and relaxing to watch. Like a friggin' Bob Ross, only with food not paint. I'm hooked. And I don't even like fast food...as much...

Thanks for the videos. I think I like McDonald's even more now...and I really liked McDonald's before.

1:30 , the classic "i need to pretend to do something even if it's useless rather than waiting"

I worked for McDonald's in 1997. We did not have this fancy gadget that lowered down on the McMuffin eggs. The egg molds were all metal and it was much faster. The folded were by a carton.

I have worked at Mcdonalds for 44 years, I love it.

Does the yolk popping tool ever get washed?

[@doodskie999]

I remember when mcdonalds used to fry the egg instead of using steam. I could also tell the cashier to make it extra crispy. Now it tastes so bland

Was wondering bout eggs. Interesting how the clamshell is used for the poached eggs, but folded are pre-made and need a separate warmer instead of doing the same thing. Was fun back in the day making fresh folded.
