I'm also gay btw, not sure if that matters.

hello mister ramsay

>>14895601
I hope that's one one of yours

>>14895601
Step 1: gather ingredients.

Important to have good buns, good cheese, and 80/20 beef

>barbecue sauce and no vegetables
i hate this meme

>>14895601
<The onions arent raw
If your pic is the finished product it already failed basic burger making

>>14895613
>bagged salad
>kraft cheese
NGMI

>>14895613
Step 2: onions

Medium chop, throw in pan on medium-low heat with vegetable oil. The key is to let them cook on a low enough heat so you make the burger patties without fucking with them.

>>14895631
Step 3: bacon in

Set a timer and get this going in the background

>>14895613
>Sweet Baby Rays
At least use something more interesting like mumbo sauce or something.

>>14895638
Step 4: season inside

A little cumin brings out the flavor. Chili powder works too, but you want to keep it very light.

>>14895644
Step 5: break up ground beef

>>14895649
Step 6: form the patties

Grab a ball of meat and toss it between your hands to compress it. Squish it down and tighten up the edges. Slight depression in the middle so it doesn't puff up. Don't be a smashburger loser and don't make a fatass hunk of shit. Just above a half inch is fine

>>14895666
Step 7: check your onions

They should at least be translucent by now. Take them off and set aside when you get a little color on them. Now you got some grilled onions.

>>14895680
Step 8: season your burgers

You can go heavier on the outside seasoning. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a little bit of oregano works for me. Season both sides.

>>14895690
Step 9: BURGER. ON.

This is the part where you can fuck yourself, so pay attention. MEDIUM HEAT. I don't give a fuck what someone told you on YouTube. Press (NOT SMASH) the burger into the pan to make good contact for a nice crust. You do not need retard heat for a nice crust.

>>14895712
Step 10: get your rest area ready

Onions are hanging out here. Bacon can join too when it's done. Throw some aluminum foil on there for your burger.

>>14895725
Step 11: flip and poke

A couple minutes have passed. If juice is pouring out of the top, you've fucked it up. A little "sweat" on top and a little color on the side is all you need to see to know it's time to flip. Now gently poke it until it starts firming up from rare to med-rare.

>>14895613
>Good cheese
>Posts kraft shredded shit

Delete this post and try again some other time

>>14895754
i think he might be memeing

>>14895613
I love how Kraft is forced to put the words "natural" and "real" front and center on every products
>NATURAL REAL food (pinky swear)

>>14895752
Step 12: cheese

As soon as your burger has firmed up a little, add a splash of water to the pan, get your cheese on and cover. Your cheese is going on while it's just past rare.

>>14895601
>>14895613
>>14895752


Thanks for the laugh, Professor.

>>14895680
>Grilled onions
>No grill

>>14895771
Step 13: rest

Cheese has melted. Take burger off and rest it covered in foil.

>>14895787
Step 14: toast buns

Butter them after you get a crust. You're going to get a "fried bread" flavor if you butter them first.

everything about this is so depressing
it feels a lot like my life

>>14895809
Step 15: ham

HAM.

>>14895817
If you're gonna do that, at least you could use canadian bacon. It's better.

>>14895712
>This is the part where you can fuck yourself, so pay attention. MEDIUM HEAT. I don't give a fuck what someone told you on YouTube.
Wrong. That will overcook the burger. You need smoking hot and patties right out of the fridge.

>>14895817
Step 16: bbq

Yes, Sweet Baby Rays is nasty thick ketchup out of bottle. Bbq sauce is meant to be hot and runny, so fix that shit. Heat it up with a little water and it's magically fixed. Who knew? Also, might be a good idea to heat your onions back up before you do this.

>>14895644
Cumin burgers are mcdonalds tier

You suck at burgers OP

>>14895845
Step 17: assemble

Lay down your bottom bun and add any condiments (ketchup, mayo, mustard, etc.)
>for me, it's honey mustard

>>14895866
Lettuce salad and onions...

>>14895875
Burger and ham...

>>14895881
Bacon and more onions...

>>14895875
>letting hot onions touch the fresh lettuce
Disgusting.

>>14895890
Bbq sauce and crown

>>14895898
Step 18: plate

Your assembly plate is a mess. Pick up sandwich and put "neatly" on another plate. Could have cleaned it up more, but it'll do for me.

>>14895929
I mean I would eat it but it's certainly not the greatest burger ever as you seem to be implying

Nice reddit burger OP. I'm sure you feel really good unhinging your jaw to eat your concoction of random shit thrown into a burger, but I'll stick with my classic cheese, mustard, mayo, ketchup, lettuce, and tomato.

>>14895881
now this is what i call a HAMburger

Greatest waste of time

Next time I make a burger, I will put bacon, ham and canadian bacon in it and see how that goes.

What a disappointing thread. I hope OP is having an anxious breakdown right now.

>>14895929
good photography, bad lighting

If you think this is amazing I'd hate to see your bad!
How embarrassing.

What a mess just for one measly little burger

Horrible

I think this is an intentionally bad cookalong. If that's the case, OP you have succeeded.

Show the inside faggot

>>14895978
I'm not tho. I consistently make better burgers than anything you can buy from most restaurants. I see a lot of people talking shit, but nobody posting burgers. Why bother wasting my time helping people if: 1) it tastes like shit and 2) anons can easily post something better? There are 18 other posters itt so far and the only other person to post a burger was this guy >>14895838 and I'm pretty sure he's joking.

>>14896107
Nobody caress. You f uked up OP

>>14895601
The pic is an example of bad, right?

>compressing meat doesn’t allow proper fat rendering which is why your crust isn’t complete

>Canadian bacon or bacon
>pick one

>bun should be brioche

>dehydrated onions and worchestershire added to meat

>sweet baby rays is garbage tier bbq sauce

>bbq sauce belongs on bbq

>use deli cheese, Hoffman cheddar or a sharp cheddar

>>14896048
...anon, I-

>>14896215
This looks good until you realize the process that went into making it.

culinarily speaking, why are /ck/ such food snobs?

>>14895838
that bitch is fucking dead ass raw

>>14896215
You went through the trouble of posting all this only to overcook the meat? The absolute state of this board.

>>14896215
Acceptable

>>14896215
>cuts sandiih in half
>sandwich falls apart when picked up

>>14896215
I'd eat it.

Hey OP I found the video version of your tutorial good shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KofI6ocTLE8

>>14896272
Americans have no culture except fast food so they overcompensate when it comes to making fast food at home

>>14896215
do amerifats really?

Being proud of a burger is like being proud of a salad. Sure, it tastes good but it really isn't anything more than some ingredients you like tossed together.

>>14897551
Name one food that isn't some ingredients tossed together.

>>14897558

With most cooking you actually have to put some thought into how the ingredients work together and how well they cook. Burgers are basically just a meat salad placed in between two buns.

>>14897564
You could have just said "Carrots"

>>14895613
the wilted salad really brings this together.

>"I'm gonna show you how to make a burger!"
>posts the ugliest fucking burger I've seen since that taco hell fatass
lmao no

Well there goes a few minutes of my life I'll never get back. Fuck you and your vile looking burger op

Here is how you made a good and original cheeseburger not a generic american sloppa.

Are you taco hell poster OP?

Toasted buns
Beef patty
Roquefort cheese
Roquette
Apple slices (yes fucking apple slices man)
Onion caramelized in port wine and fried crispy onion pieces

>>14896215
>All kinds of seasonings in the patty like cumin, oregano, garlic powder.
No
>Pre cut salad mix.
No. Fresh is important.
>Pre shredded cheddar mix
Probably taste like nothing, certainly isn't "good cheese" like you say is important.
>Sweet honey mustard and baby rays
Sounds way to sweet. There's nothing to balance it off, it's only made worse by the sweetness of the sauteed onions. This distracts what burger is supposed to taste like. Probably taste ok for people that consume lots of sugar.
>Ham AND bacon
Sounds like too much, again distracts the main flavours you want, from the beef. Good burger toppings should enhance the beef, not mask it.
>unspecified cheese
Might as well drop it if it isn't good cheese.
>medium-well
Could be worse.

All in all a terrible burger. Bun looks better than my buns which sadly is best that I have easy access to.

>>14899168
That looks good anon, I would. The apple is a nice idea.

>>14895613
Despite these lol ingredients it still ended up looking pretty damn tasty

>>14899235
Okay OP.

>>14899245
You caught me

>>14895601
It looks fine. Really don't see why people are sperging over it.

Anyone grind their own meat?

>>14900749
I beat my meat every day, I only grind it when my gf is around.

>>14896215
ok not goona lie that looks great. the other pic was absolutely garbage tho.

when people talk brioche do they mean actual french brioche

>>14900863
>"europoors"
>people
kek

>>14895613
>that cumin jar
never considered there might be Delhaize in NA (which is where I assume you are judging by all the other shit)

>>14900883
>Delhaize
It's "Food Lion" here in the US.

>>14900863
Brioche means pic related when you're talking about burgers.

>>14895601
Extreme amounts of sauce
Overdone cheese
An entire head of lettuce UNDER the burger, for maximum slip.

Nah. I'm good.

Op that's embarrassing.
Here's a simple burger I made. Any questions?

>>14901067
>>14900863
brioche are shit for burgers, Kaiser rolls are where its at

>>14895771
anon you buffoon... you bought shredded cheese. the anti-caking agents make it hard to melt evenly and give you that weird ass thing where you can see all the strands of cheese. plus, who the fuck eats ham with their burger? pork ham and beef are so contrasting it's nasty. sorry anon, you got the gist right, but ugh

>>14896107
>implying we're gonna make burgers right now to prove your obviously shitty burger is obviously shitty

>>14901146
Aye, a good crisp on at least one side of the burger, and a bit of chew in the bun.

>>14895771
>good cheese
>bagged kraft cheddar
this is the most pleb tier burger I've ever seen lmao

>>14895601
thanks

>>14899180
the meat is simply raw. not rare. its just raw. retard.

Uh-oh! You weren't supposed to like it the first time O_o
https://archived.moe/ck/thread/14785527/#14785527

>>14895838
I would eat the fuck out of that if it was a bit more done I love medium rare burgers

>>14901094
This looks good.

>>14899168
Apples, stinky cheese, and wine on a hamburger? Pretentious, but well executed.

>>14901506
I'd have tossed the roquefort on the meat, sliced the apple very thinly, and used a merlot or something else with some oomph for the wine.

It sounds great. I think I'd thoroughly enjoy it.

>>14901282
Probably you're american or australian. You guys call rare for bleu, medium rare you call rare, medium you call medium rare etc. Basically you think everything is rarer than it really is.

>>14896107
Man i think the burger looks super good but im high.

>>14896215
High guy here man i gotta eat some burger now. Fuck these haters bro it looks CHOICE.

>>14895768
That's really more because people in the US buy into the paranoia that Kraft cheese is made of plastic when it's just processed low-quality cheese.

>>14896351

>no egg
seriously guy what the fuck is this

>>14896351
>overcook the meat
dumbass, ground beef has to be cooked through

>>14895644
>>14895690
>seasoning your patties with anything else aside from salt and pepper
opinion discarded

>>14902657
kys

>>14895601
wa la?

>>14896351
die of ass rabies

>>14903052
>wallow

>>14896215
Really dude, you preach like a baby bitch about cooking high heat and not smashing the burger? This is the best you could come up with?

>>148964889
Now this looks dank. But that blue cheese deserves to be melted inside that paddy bro...

>>14901094
Fried egg? Mah nigga.

>>14895601
>>14895929
>ham AND bacon
what the fuck?
>sauce on the TOP of the bun
what the fuck
>lettuse on the BOTTOM of the bun
>cumin
kill yourself

>>14903330
>>>14896215
agreed

Reminder to add chopped parsley to make it fancy and taste slightly of fresh grass as well.

>>14895929
What a mess. Going through about 30 different steps to make an overcomplicated hamburger that's too tall to eat and unironically using shit like shredded cheese and bagged salad.

And do you unironically cook in serial like this? At first I thought you were doing it to make the tutorial work, but you were seriously giving instructions on reheating cold ingredients and wrapping things in foil to keep them hot. A hamburger should take about 10 or 15 fucking minutes.

>>14902900
Wrong.

>>14902586
Hi OP

>>14901781
He was right though. I hope you enjoy shitting yourself.

>BBQ Sauce

Wow what a faggot lmao

>>14895613
>using literal trash meat
Less than 10% fat is the way to go, higher ones are complete garbage.

>>14903847
Have you had a good expensive burger before, you disgusting peasant? They don't put heinz on them. Speaking of, what's the best sauce to put on a burger, a homemade ketchup with red wine vinegar in it or some shit?

>>14903838
So? Nothing wrong with eating raw meat. It's easier to digest than cooked.

>>14895838
fucking disgusting

>>14896351
>overcook the meat

americans, everyone

>>14903916
>Unlike a rare steak, a rare burger is risky because the germs from the outside of the meat have been ground inside.

Let me guess, you're not allowed to leave your house without a mask.

>>14903916
What kind of shithole parts of the world thinks it's americans that eat less than well done ground beef? Americans usually don't because they are hysterical about bacteria, and with godd reason it seems considering how unsanitary their meat processing facilities are.

>>14901530
>>14901506
>>14899168
Strong cheese is good in hamburger, especially if you like cheeses. I also had a hamburger that had apple slices in it and it was pretty good, so I vouch for that, although they were prepared somehow, can't remember if they were pickled or something else.

>If you’re using store-bought ground beef, or if you bought pre-made patties, you can’t just cook your burgers to medium-rare and call it a day. There’s tons of bacteria trapped in them from the butcher’s work area.

>You don’t have to burn them to a crisp, though. Just pasteurize them. Start the process exactly like you would with any other burgers, but once they hit 138-degrees, you should pull them off of your grill, wrap them in tin foil, and then put them in the oven for 12 minutes at 140-degrees. They’ll be just slightly past the medium-rare mark, but they’ll be safe to eat, and they’ll taste a lot better than the well-done burgers that the USDA recommends.

Bacteria can't live at 140 degrees for 12 minutes straight, it's a fact.

>>14903907
retard

Red onion or yellow onion?

>>14903942
Objectively you are the retard here calling names like that. Raw meat is objectively easier on digestion than cooked and it's not dangerous either as long as the meat has been handled properly.

>>14903936
Granny smith, sliced very thinly, given a bit of lemon or white wine vinegar to prevent browning. Most sliced apple in any restaurant will be given a wee acid/brine bath to keep from getting brown and soggy.

Danablu's been my go-to for blue burgers, but only because I can grab it in sheets for minimal fuckery.

>>14895601
ReeeeeEeeeEeeeeeeeee

>>14903942

sink rate

>>14895613
step 1 and it already sucks lmao

>>14895631
>vegetable oil
Poisoning yourself, nice!

>>14895815
hits close to home

>>14899168
usually hate this sort of pretentious shit but this looks good
great job

>>14903949
Red onion will be milder if you want a raw slice of onion. White onions have the most pungent flavor, while yellow is in between. The longer you cook any of them, the sweeter they become through caramelization. It just depends what flavors you're looking to add to your burger.

>>14899168
>greens on top
>sauce on bottom
>one piece of meat
Good job

>>14899168
I don't want to talk you into a career in cooking, but I also don't want to talk you out of it. This industry sucks ass.

10/10 would hire

what cheese is good for burgers?
I tried several now and they either dont taste that good on a burger or straight up refuse to melt right.
also tried these plastic squares but its like you're eating nothing at all.

>>14904686
You can't go wrong with gruyère, comté, roquefort or gorgonzola.

>>14904700
oh yeah I love spicy gorgonzola. I'll try some next time.

>>14904252
points for grilling but my god did you fuck up badly , i can identify the bacon but wtf are those meatballs made of?

this thread is god tier bait

>>14896215
i dont know what the onion its gonna do with the lettuce there but it looks good anyways.

>>14895601
why they make big burgers like those you can barely hold or eat making it a big mess.

Burgers are suppose to be small , easy to handle and eat.
I prefer 2 pattt with that meat , share the amount of lettuce , onion and other toppings between those two to eat it without them becoming a complete mess.

>>14905328
Fresh burger (the stuff from the butcher not prepacked) chopped garlic, salt and pepper. I astronomically screwed up the proportions in an attempt to make large sliders.

i got my dad a blackstone griddle for father's day and spent the summer honing the smashburger game 1/2

>>14906779
2/2

>>14906779
did you know that part of the game is keeping the goddamn sandwich together

>>14906779
So you're still working on it?

>>14906685
ok thats a fair enough mistake

>>14903869
>has to have "the best sauce", not something he might enjoy due to his own subjective tastes

The absolute fucking state of /ck/.

>>14895666
>Step 6: form the patties
patties, more like fatties am I right? haha lols

>>14907365
ha! good one! made me chuckle.

>>14906779
i hate smash burgers
they always suck
wish this meme would die

>>14907640
lol
