Yeah you can, it's 80/20 beef with the cheapest bun from the grocery store and the cheapest American cheese
The secret ingredient is using dried onion that's reconstituted with water
Someone posted the prep menu from the 70s or 80s

>>19108346
I did it by accident once by using too much salt in a burger I made while depressed

>>19108346
>The taste of a plastic toy is one that cannot be replicated.
>With enough training and practice, you could produce an identical facsimile of any world class dish. But no matter your skill set, you’ll never recreate an authentic play kitchen set no matter how hard you try.

yeah... thats why its trash, youre not working with food youre working with something that pretends its food

>>19108440
Depression really is the secret ingredient

>>19108346
Can someone concur please: a regular cheeseburger is drier than a double cheeseburger. Why is that and did you find the same data in your research of McD?

>>19108346
Bro, not even other McDonalds in slightly further away locations can imitate the same exact taste. Even Coke tastes different in different countries. But really, who cares, most of the reason you can't replicate it at home is because the damn thing is chalked with chemicals, additives, actually inedible shit, etc. There's like 20 different ingredients in the fries alone. The real question is, why would you even consider eating that shit? You're gonna be a real sad panda bear when you wake up a couple decades later with cancer. Yea, real food costs more, but your life is worth more too. If you're not ok, nothing will be as an extension.

>>19108346
Yeah how the fuck is that

>>19108549
The moist comes from the "cheese" which is mostly water and salt (which creates saliva). More "cheese", more saliva, more moist.

>spent all summer cooking burgers on the grill, pan, griddle, etc
>perfect the average fast food burger, but tastier
>no longer have to go out for a nice big burger
>but i still cannot recreate how meh yet somehow tasty McDonald's burgers are
i need their chemical mix.

>>19108621
I mean it's visible grease on the wrapper, not just extra spit in my mouth

I dont eat fast food because its expensive, it tastes and LOOKS like trash.

>>19108580
The ultimate blackpill is that you are going to wither away and die no matter what. You are already filled with microplastics, which massively contribute to cancer rates.

It's better to live a fun life that is shorter, rather than spend the last 20 years slowly degrading until you're nothing more than a living vegetable husk in a hospital bed, but hey, at least you ate a lil healthier, not like it's gonna happen to you no matter what! (or you'll die earlier and taking care of your health wont matter...)

God I hate you faggots that stand on a moral high-ground and act like you are somehow "better" because you eat different food, get real dude, and get the horse cock out of your ass.

>>19108346
>you’ll never recreate an authentic McDonald’s burger no matter how hard you try.
>get hired at mcdonalds
>have to recreate authentic mcdonald burgers every day

>>19108721
>and get the horse cock out of your ass.
kinky revelation into anon's psyche

>>19108346
Microwave the bun you idiot

>>19108730
Disturbing how you knew I like breaking the quiet...

>>19108346
i'm not sure what salt and pepper they use, but for a good few years there when double cheeseburgers were $1, i'd get two with just meat/cheese, and they were fantastic.

>>19108580
i'm really tired of this "chemicals" thing. it's not even an argument. everything is chemicals. everything you have ever consumed in your life is chemicals, you're chemicals.

>>19108774
the chemical meme has always been about how the full name of elements sounds scary

>>19108774
I am not even a chemological expert but I say: 'if everything has a chemecal formula then you draw the conclusion dipshit'

>>19108346
had one a couple months ago and it tasted like a cafeteria burger. If I want a genuinely decent burger I go to five guys or any other restaurant in town.

$1.25 each at costco, ready in one fucking minute in the microwave and better in every conceivable way
if you eat at mcdonalds in 2023 you're being ripped off in every sense of the word

>>19108799
>mfw the nutrient facts
making mcdonalds look healthy

>>19108774
Stop projecting

>>19108721
Bro, you know what the only thing more fun than being sick and dying early is? Being healthy and living longer, LOL.
You're actually five years old.
I'd pet you if I wasn't afraid of rabies.

>>19108774
I'm about to pass out from how retarded this thread is. You do realize that some chemicals actually hurt you, right?

>>19109282
You have to prove the individual chemicals are bad, it makes no difference how long and scary their names are when your whole body is made of gigantic proteins way scarier sounding than them.

>>19108346
>The taste of a McDonald’s cheeseburger is one that cannot be replicated.
oh?
>order 2 cheeseburgs from mcd's
>both taste exactly the same
duplicated.

got any other stupid shit to post, anon?

>>19108346
actually you can

>>19108346
not true, i've done it. it just requires you to be more meticulous than you would expect or want to believe

>>19110289

also, shit like this is clickbait:
>>19110039

you really don't need all that. most of it is just for making the mac sauce and baking your own bread

making their regular burgers just comes down to getting the toast on the bun *perfect* (no exceptions, they have a machine that does it automatically) and then just cookingn the meat just the right time and salt/peppering it immediately

the rest is just the right ratio of condiments, and condiments that are similar to theirs, as in the right vinegar/sugar ratios in their ketchup, etc.

Every bag of McDonald's food smells like Grapenuts.

>>19108538
yeah try working there with jalpesh warming up her green mold on naan, guardameer telling you to keep smiling whilst fumbling at the cash at age 14 and getting yelled at by customers, nankhar offgassing her sweaty burkha pits, and palpreet always taking stinky dumps in the employee washroom.

>>19110305
>>19110530
it's not the grapes

>>19108346
true, but it's also easy to make a much better cheeseburger using better quality ingredients.

I managed to make one almost exactly like the McDonald's cheeseburger. Patented Skinner Burgers, old family recipe.

>>19108346
This guy says the McDonald’s cheeseburger is indescribably delicious if you add hash brown with sweet and sour sauce

Had a good answer for you, but it was 20 years out of date according to the "Training video"
Short answer: only one of the patties sits on the heel, which soaks up much of the grease--
If there's only one patty...

Aren't those called "Steamed Hams", Seymour?
Anyway...
The 80s truly didn't give a flying fuck. And I haven't eaten a McDonalds anything since then.

msg
lots and lots of msg in everything that you put in that burger

>>19108373
You'll never get the cheese, pickles, onions, ketchup, and bun to taste like McDonalds

>>19108346
real easy
just buy dried onion flakes and put then in a bowl with some water and rehydrate in the microwave for 30-45sec
kraft cheese slices
heinz ketchup and mustard and some dill pickles on a cheap bun
BAM McD's burger
the burger its selfe is the lest important part just make sure its to the thin side and not a giant meatball burger and everything will taste right

>>19108373
I was a mcwage slave during covid that's still it

>>19110595
burgers and hashbrowns aren't available at the same time though

>>19108346
>replicated
>anon can't make better burgers

>>19108346
You sound fat.

>>19108346
On the contrary it's the easiest of all to replicate. That's why it's made in a factory, not in a kitchen.

>>19111952
are the people preparing the food in the mcdonald's kitchen FBI agents?
