/ck/ - Food & Cooking

i repeat, use BEEF DRIPPING or you are a fucking fanny arse. fuck you olive oil vegetable oil shilling fags clogging your arteries with calcified vegetable oils that taste like absolute SHIT.

NOTHING COMPARES TO THE TASTE OF BEEF DRIPPING, THE HEARTINESS AND DELICIOUS FUCKING GREASE. THIS IS THE, I REPEAT, THE ONLY FUCKING COOKING FAT YOU SHOULD EVER USE FOR COOKING ANY MEAT EVER. FUCK LARD TOO BECAUSE IT'S TASTELESS, ITS BETTER THAN VEGETABLE OILS BUT IT'S COMPLETELY DOMINATED AND EMASCULATED BY THE POWER OF BEEF DRIPPING

>>16513722
Your recipe lacks important details and is not perfect. I'm to lazy to explain why. Also no pic of your own burger. Wtf?

>>16513746
dude i ate the burger so fast i didnt even consider taking a picture of it

i will repost this thread with a picture of it next time

also bro you dont need exact measured ingredients for a fuckin burger recipe

>>16513733
i have never seen this sold in stores before
would beef tallow or lard be an acceptable substitute?

>>16513758
Not what Im talking about.

>>16513764
beef tallow is basically the same thing mate use beef tallow yeah

>>16513733
Or just use the fucking fat that is already in the meat which is the whole point of getting 20% in the first place.

>>16513812
more fat = better
frying it in its own fat isnt enough bro you need the grease you need the fry

>>16513722
Aren't the burgers going to be wet af? Maybe a potato bun would do the trick.

>>16513872
actually it was just the perfect amount of juiciness. there will be some grease but you just bounce the patty on the spatula a little bit before you place it on the bun and you're good

since we're talking about burgers, how does Harvey's get their patties to be like this instead of the meatball texture ground beef burgers most people end up making. And yes, Harvey's burgers actually come like this, it may be shit to some but I prefer this texture, it tastes better to me for some reason.

>>16513908
in comparison the big meatball type of burger

>>16513908
better pic

Do they simply just not add anything into the burger patties and minimally touch the ground beef when forming these patties (like with a machine or something)?

>>16513954
yea it looks like they dont smush the ground beef at all. you could probably do this with a biscuit cutter lol

idk how that's appealing to you but if you like it then sure go ahead

>>16513968
yeah I was just wondering how they actually turn that into a patty, I suppose they would probably section off small amounts and use a tool like pic related to make the patty. I've had many burgers from many different restaurants and price points but every time I've had a burger with this texture it just tasted better for some reason, maybe its in my head, but ill experiment some time and let you guys know.

>>16513722
>i'm keto so i didnt use any buns
so you just ate a hamburger patty with random stuff on it, that's not a cheeseburger .

>>16513991
You can get it 90% of the way there without any tools, basically you just take your ground beef, cut a patty sized amount of it, and form it into a patty-ish shape as gently as possible without any unneeded molding. It’s not the exact same (because they extrude their ground beef directly into a patty shape as it’s ground), but is extremely close

>>16514035
My concern is mostly with the height or thickness of the patty, if I tear apart and reattach the ground beef too much it may end up smushing together on the interior, I suppose it can be done by hand though, just will have to use spongebob-tier care when making them

>>16513991

the texture of the of the patty having those little ridges gives more surface area for seasoning and fat to work its magic.

>>16514088
That makes a lot of sense. I think basting would work superbly on this style of patty also due to those reasons.

>>16513841
You really don't, even cooking it without oil it's plenty fatty enough. Cant imagine the greaseballs you are serving up

>>16513722
>I perfected the homemade cheeseburger
>processed plastic cheese
No you didn't.

>>16514383

american cheese has two applications and two only. on burgers and to make a mornay gooey-er. dont talk shit on american cheese on a burger cuz thats the perfect application for it.

>>16514383
"processed plastic cheese"

when will this retarded myth end
all fucking cheese is processed you absolute fucking tard. all cheese is processed, find me a single piece of cheese that is untouched by any processing whatsoever, go on.

do you use baking soda??? do you use salt? these are both food chemicals whoa scary

the main ingredient that makes american cheese so gooey is sodium citrate, a chemical salt naturally found from fruits. that's why OP rec'd a cheese slice that doesn't contain any ingredients other than the main ingredients for american cheese.

>>16514383
also every single burger in existence that doesnt use american cheese is a FAILURE. simple as, will never be as satisfactory as a burger with american cheese. ever. this is a fucking undeniable fact.

>>16513733
reddit moment

>>16513722
Tell the truth it was dry and the patty fell apart because it had no binding ingredients

>>16515495
uhh use your brain knobhead what would even make it fall apart if you've smushed the burger by hand and sealed any openings

'binding ingredients' completely unnecessary and ruin the taste of the burger

>>16515510
Do you think i haven't cooked before? I've tried plain beef patties and they were shit, you need egg and breadcrumbs to keep it together. That's all I'm saying.

>>16515541
LOL what the fuck

this nigga puts breadcrumbs in his burgers

dude how are you breaking apart your burgers lmao do you have fucking ogre hands? use a higher fat content of ground beef

>>16515690
You have no clue about consistency yet as you have just started cooking. Why would i break apart the burgers, ask yourself how hard is the beef you are using for you to feel you need ogre hands to break them apart? The patties are damn soft with the crumbs and the egg.

>>16515714
dude idk its impossible for me to break my burgers apart with ground beef by itself... i dont have that issue whatsoever. use 20% fat ground beef from room temperature.

>'you have just started cooking'
yet you're the one having issues forming a fucking burger together without it falling apart. lol
you're clearly the one doing something wrong and i'm not, so enjoy your retarded eggy breadcrumb burger meanwhile i'll enjoy one that has the texture of an actual burger and the delicious flavour of an actual burger with no issues. its that simple

>>16515730
>its impossible for me to break my burgers apart with ground beef by itself... i dont have that issue whatsoever.

So you do or don't have hard burgers you imbecile, you are wasting my time. This is a trap. You have no desire to converse in a reasonable manner.

>>16515741
you're a cringe fucking larp with shite burgers mate.

just fucking seal holes in the ground beef once you've formed a patty and you're good

idk how you even have a difficulty with this

>>16515743
You have been drinking Alcohol tonight haven't you?

>>16515743
I should be saging these threads

>>16515495
>Egg and breadcrumbs in ground beef for a burger.
He's not making a meatloaf you fucking tard.

>>16513722

imagine white knighting kraft singles

>>16513991
Dude harvies uses processed meat and frozen patties, they aren't using ground meat. They're using literal pressed, machine form frozen patties

This is what I ground up for great burgers the other weak. Trimmings from a tomohawk, short ribs, and brisket with a bone in it

>>16516801
came out like this, I had fun :-)

>>16516804
>Cranberry juice
Having kidney issues?

>>16516804
Kirkland

poorfag

>>16516829
No the person you replied to, but I hate this shit. I buy cranberry juice (cranberry + grape even better) every week because I love it, and I always get this look like everyone thinks I've got a UTI.

>>16513722
Smashed burgers are kino

>>16516851
>Drinks 100% cranberry juice
Ok, urinary tract is fine, taste buds have been destroyed, got it

>>16513733
Is 'beef dripping' the same as tallow?

>>16516930
Yes

>>16516920
Not him, but my folks died and I was raised by my grandma, who pretty much only kept cranberry juice in the fridge, so if I wanted something besides water, that's what I drank. I still drink it because of the nostalgia, and I have also never had a UTI

>>16516829
I'm an alcoholic

>>16513765
Dude you could've already typed out what the issue is in the time it took you to type all this. Instead you chose to be a dick.

>>16514525
Imagine using literally anything but raw cheese, sold to you by a qt mennonite girl from a local dairy farm for any sort of cooking application.

>>16515541
The fat in the meat keeps it bound together, retard

>>16517398
Your a loser, i have a very successful food business

>>16513722
Stopped reading at cast iron

>>16517453
Doubtful for a nigger putting breadcrumbs and egg in his borgar

>>16517675

You WILL eat the egg and breadcrumb AND you will tolerate them

>>16517804
Oh I could tolerate them.
The same way I could "tolerate" eating food off the ground if I was homeless

>>16513733
Could I use beef tallow instead of beef drippingnanph

>>16515903
you're fucking illiterate and homosexual because the OP says directly not to use kraft singles

>>16517820
beef drippin' is the brit's term for beef tallow its the same thing mate

Thanks for sharing your recipe OP, glad to see a Brit so passionate about cheeseburgers, it's charming.
