i'll periodically post new sandwiches
Whopper Junior
Ingredients:
Sesame seed bun
ground beef
tomatoes
onions
mayo
ketchup
pickles
lettuce
steps:
1.first put meat patty onto bottom bun, and then put that into the microwave for 5 seconds. NOTE: flame broil the meat first.
2.while it's in the micro wave start the top bun by putting condiments on in this order: mayo, lettuce, tomato (1 for small burger, 2 for large).
3. once the bottom is done put condiments on in this order: ketchup, onions, pickles(2 for small burger, 4 for large).
4. put two halves together and enjoy
this is the exact way to do it at BK.

Microwaving can be used to make very good burgers if you use it on thicker burgers to cook the insides after searing the outside.

seriously? 5 seconds, seriously?
Seriously?!
|
yes only 5 seconds, also be sure to not microwave the mayo as you can potentially die
|
If you're going to take the time to make something yourself, why would you ever degrade the experience by doing it like a crappy fast food restaurant?
I mean, I guess it's a joke since the patty is going to be raw if you don't cook it longer, but I don't understand why it's funny. Unless you're using precooked meat, which is even weirder. Or do you cook it and then put it on the bun, then microwave them together for reasons that are difficult to understand?
It's like some kind of incredibly inconvenient, disgusting hamburger.

How to make BK burgers:
step one: Get a bun
step two: Shit in said bun
step three: add ketchup/salad if wanted
Seriously tho I hate BK burgers why would you wanna make it?

I like medium rare to medium-ish burgers. I dunno, the idea of having a nice burger and then tossing it in the microwave sounds sacrilegious to me. Downright demonic evil.
Evil.

I worked in bk a few years ago in canada, here are some additional info:
If the burger is freshly grilled, microwave is not necessary. Only microwave if the patty has sat in those warm containers for a while. Both top and bottom buns go through a one-way toaster.
Regular whopper is 8 seconds, junior whopper/hamburger/cheeseburger is 5 secs.
Double stacker is 8 secs, triple is 11, quad is 14 (I don't actually remember the exact numbers, because there was a button to press for the auto-time).
Hamburger, cheeseburger, junior whopper, king supreme all use same patty and bun.
For regular whopper:
2 tomatoes, 3 onion (rings) and 4 pickels in training video. +2 slice of cheddar cheese if cheesewhopper.

@Chef sorry, i edited my post say yes you must flame broil, or at least cook meat first. microwaving it ensures not only more taste and a warm burger, but the satisfaction of eating greasy bread. i can pound out 10 of these puppies in a couple minutes. . i'm not sure what is inconvenient or disgusting. .
@Johnranger-123 i know a lot of people don't like fast food, but some people do; i think like 80% of people who say they don't like it are lying.
|
@Ryshi thanks dude, respect. i'm going to add the amount of each to the original post since you reminded me.

I once made my own sandwich when I was 10 and microwaved it with mayo inside it. I survived but never ate mayonnaise again.

Just so you know there is a quote button.
And I'm not saying I don't like fast food, I love KFC, which is prob one of the most greasiest places in the world.
I just hate burger king in all honesty

Where are you located? In northeast region, Stuff goes on in this order:
Mayo
Lettuce
Tomato
Pickles
Ketchup
Onions
At least that's how it was done from 1997-2004 when I worked there.
This was back before the meat was kept in the "duke" pans, which keeps them good for 60 minutes. We ran burgers through the broiler, put them on the bun, and kept the burger and bun in a steaming unit, for up to 10 minutes.
I would be manager at BK now if I didn't have an interest in computer science. It was a fun place to work.

well i'm doing the infamous angry whopper next so hopefully that'll shake some negativity off

I simply don't understand. It doesn't compute. I've eaten at a 5 star restaurant where the bill was more than 100 pph excluding drinks and I still prefer a bacon dbl cheeseburger to the top quality steak I had there. For me, BK is possibly the greatest food experience a human can have, except for giant tortoise.

BK food is awesome. After high school (AKA after I stopped playing sports) I still worked there, and ate a Double Whopper and a milkshake, every day I worked, for about 4 years. I gained 60 pounds. But it tastes so good.

if this is how you make burguer king sandwiches, imagine macdonald ones.
Just take your time to make a good meal.

still waiting for the blog titled "how to prevent your food from tasting like burger king"

Doesn't the recipe for the patty matter more than the other stuff... I mean those are just toppings. Although I suppose microwaving it was different

I have a following.
Thankyou you have made this day special.

If you want your burgers to taste like chain burgers, you have to wash them in ammonia first and then add artificial flavor and color to the resulting gray slush, that's how you get the authentic american burger taste.
Oh wait, the company you bought your beef from probably already did all that already, never mind.

I'm a huge burger fan I like them with lots of sause and cheese so can't make them to often :/
If you are going for homemade you gotta make the meat and bread yourself if you can spare the time tastes much better - especially important to make the bread. I know everything worth to know about mcd burgers since I worked there for a year and the only burger I ever buy is Big Mac (note that mcd uses slightly different ways to make burgers in different countries, If I remember correctly US has a style not used in Europe)
Mcd makes a burger from scratch very well timed so that it's hot and really fresh. Then it's put in this "oven" that's about 80°C (visible for all customers). I prefer mine after they have been in the oven for about 5 minutes but anything from fresh to 10 minutes is OK. After 10 minutes they throw the burger away.
sometimes the kitchen has to little staff to make burgers just in time so instead they make a lot all the time whiteout wasting any and eventually a guest will get a disgusting burger. That's why i'm always quite sneaky when I order.
I don't like the food at BK at all

Can you elaborate more on this? I've never heard of this so I did some Google searches. There are a lot of people saying that you get food poisoning from this (but not saying how) and then there are a few people saying that it's a myth.
I'm having a lot of trouble finding a scientific article on this.

Haven't had BK or McD's in about 4 years, I think I liked them pretty equally though.

apparently after you microwave it it becomes extremely easy for bacteria to build up and thus causing the food poisoning

I've microwaved Mayo for about 1 minute and I was fine. Maybe I was just lucky.

The main thing that pisses me off about fast food places is that the lettuce (and tomatoes) is 8 times out of 10 really bad. It's either unripe, way too much, way too little, or just old.
It's especially bad at Jack N The Box and Carl's Jr. They almost always give this white/yellowish spine of lettuce that can't even stay on the burger because it's all hard and tastes like shit.
JntB has the nastiest yellow mayonaise (tastes more like that salad dressing miracle whip shit) as well.
I usually take out the bad lettuce and use it to wipe off the ungodly amount of mayo off the burger.
If you ask for light mayo they put like none, so you gotta make it yourself.
BoT, out of all the popular fast food burger places I'd put BK near the top though.
(i've never eaten at Sonic, I'm sure that would be near the top. And I don't think White Castle is in Cali)
Wendy's
In N out
Burger King
Carl's Jr. (Hardees)
Jack In The Box
Dairy Queen
McDonalds
can't recall A&W burgers

well, if you microwave mayo bacteria builds up in it very quickly, much quicker than normal, so you have to be sure to eat it fast if you do it. . the alternative is very horrible food poisoning; possibly spending your last moments puking in a hospital. if you want to PM me i'll theory craft with you more on this topic, though.

That's just a myth,dude. Basically, mayo is eggs and oil, both can be heated.
It's just gonna taste like shit, that's it. But yeah, I guess you're right, bacterias might build up faster that way also.

I call shenanigans. I see no reason why microwaved mayonnaise is any more dangerous than warm mayonnaise. If anything, it should be safer.
The 3 second rule is probably way more dangerous bacteriawise.

WAIT DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT MICROWAVED MAYONAISE CAN KILL YOU?
it's just one of those stupid jokes that people say because microwaved mayo tastes like shit and it turns all clear and hard and nasty (it'll kill you metaphorically speaking).
Kinda along the same lines as putting a penny in your mouth to stop a breathalyzer (shit doesn't work at all, it's just a cruel joke on the drunk).
Or even that humans swallow X amount of bugs/spiders/flies while they sleep.
Perpetuated bullshit.

That's what I was thinking when I was doing the Google searches. But I rarely eat mayonnaise and I've never microwaved it, so I don't know what it looks like or tastes like -- but a few people mentioned it gets gross and I figured maybe that's where the myth was born from.
Searches came up with people saying that microwaving it is akin to leaving a sandwich with mayonnaise out in the sun for a few hours -- which doesn't make sense to me and confused me.
|
It's a well-known enough myth that they actually teach you at BK not to do it. They don't say why.
|
if you're that confident about it, microwave some mayo on a burger for a minute and eat it. make sure to get a good amount on there.
post back with results if you havent puked on your keyboard

I've microwaved mayo on a ham and cheese sandwich. Thought it had like a thousand island flavor. I might have toasted it.

Interesting...keep posting these I like them.

Have you ever heard of the idea of hot food and cold condiments? It just tastes better. That's why they do it. (Also microwaving mayonnaise ruins it very quickly, if not right out. It doesn't cause food poisoning.

yea and also it is possible that the molecules in the mayo super heat way faster than the rest of the food. I dunno

ex-BK worker here. The only thing I cannot find to emulate was the sauce used to make the delicious spicy wraps (I was not employed there at that time, thankfully). I have been told it is a type of southwest sauce but all my attempts failed at finding that specific taste.

Also, Carls Jr is fucking awesome.

Man, everyone I knew who had been to In N Out or lived in Cali had built it up to be this monument to fast food done right. I went there twice and unless I just got really unlucky then it is a barely improved McDonalds. Fast food gets old quick but I'd put them in categories.
"Good" Fast Food
Five Guys
Chick-Fil-A
Sonic (This can vary wildly like anything I guess)
Culvers (burger can be hit or miss)
"Run of the Mill" Fast Food
Burger King
Wendys
Carls Jr
Whataburger
TERRIBLE Fast Food(redundant ;P)
McDonalds
In N Out
Jack in the Box
Dairy Queen
Thanks for the idea, maybe I'll try it someday ;O!
