That burger looks like it was assembled by someone who actively hates food. The bun is shiny like it’s been moisturized, the patty is thin, scared, and clearly overworked, and that cheese slice? It’s barely melted, just lying there like "please don't notice me". The fries look like rejected fence posts. This isn't a burger, it's a cry for help on a plate.
what kind of redditor puts a bot on ck of all places that flames people for anything they post?very nice looking burger and fries. are those fries like..double fried? or did you boil them (or bake them?) until they started to fluff and then fry them? i want to try whatever it is you did to make those french fries
>>21853913Thanks :D>>21853916Yes they are double fried, first boiled then freezed and then a double fry.Make sure your oil is hot enough though because I fucked up the first batch.
>>21853921is the boiling and freezing done deliberately so they can go into the frier frozen the first time, or is it so you can refry them on-demand for less prep?I try to fry in the heaviest vessel i have now (a cast iron dutch oven) to try and prevent the temp from dropping too much when I do fry stuff
>>21853905Would eat.. I think it looks great and I see you parboiled the fries before frying. 10/10.
>>21853925>is the boiling and freezing done deliberately so they can go into the frier frozen the first time, or is it so you can refry them on-demand for less prep?Boiling is done so they get brittle and when fried you get those crunchy bits at the end. I freezed them because I boiled them the day before so they are ready to fry, but you have to let them steam out before freezing. >I try to fry in the heaviest vessel i have now (a cast iron dutch oven) to try and prevent the temp from dropping too much when I do fry stuffYeah exactly, when they are frozen the temp drops too much and they start to disintegrate if your oil isn't hot enough (which happened with my first batch). >>21853926thanks bro
>>21853905I say this with all sincerity but those are the best looking fries I have ever seen posted on /ck/. Almost makes me think it's AI or from a restaurant. If you really made those yourself you have some real skills.
>>21853933Thanks for the kind words fren :) Yes I made them, they don't sell fries like these in my cunt, or at least that I am aware of. I was watching a Heston Blumenthal video and I said fuck it let's try making those, might as well since i'm making a burger.
>>21853940got a link to the video?

>>21853946Much appreciated pardner, have a blessed evening.
>>21853947Youre welcome bro, it's morning here, going to work in a couple of hours :D Have a great day or evening wherever you are.
>>21853940>I was watching a Heston Blumenthal video and I said fuck it let's try making those>simmer for 20 minutes>cool for 30 minutes in fridge>fry for 5 minutes>cool for 30 minutes in fridge again>fry againholy christ they better be good for all that efforthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMOjpSrOFEQ
>>21853972I did it a bit differently, I boiled them for 15 mins on higher heat, let them steam out for 10 and then freeze em, then fried the next day with 10 mins between the frying. But yeah it's a whole thing. They were good though. The only thing is that you might overboil them, it's a real fine line between making them brittle and them becoming mush, so make sure you cut them thick. I made a lot of them so I have two more batches in the freezer at the moment. Tbh even frying them once will still be good. I just wanted to make em like him to see whats up.
>>21853905looks good>>21853913fuck off. looks good
>>21853905Looks like uttershitem8
>>21853916place the bacon under the patty and thank me later.

>>21856046It's just the resident hater who shits up every thread. One time I made him admit that he is a bitter guy and that's why he posts like that no matter how the dish looks.

Is lettuce that expensive in your town? Or why are you using such depressing looking leaf in your meal.

>>21853931that sounds really annoyingso I have to boil, freeze, fry, let cool or freeze again, then fry again?how long is the first fry and what am i looking for since the potatoes are already cooked from the boil right?
>>21853905Me too! (and a tomato sandwich)
>>21856978NoBoil for 15 mins, let steam off, freeze then fry either one or two times. I boiled and freezed them the night before so they were ready to fry the next day.>>21856917It's very expensive, I had to take a loan.>>21856522No lore, I just asked him one time why is he so angry and negative all the time and he said something about being bitter because of women not being interested in him or something, that was a year or so ago, I presume it's the same guy because the writing style matched the other guy and he posts in multiple thread at once being shitty to everyone.>>21857023Great looking fries, shouldve melted the cheese though fren.

>>21857567i genuinely do not understand what a smash burger is even supposed to be but i sure see people kvetch about them a lot
>>21853913FPWP
>>21857578Its when a burger is literally smashed with a press while cooking. Its usually done with onions on top, and it gives a burger crispy edges, and might do something with the juiciness.
>>21853905Looks tasty mah nig
>>21853947seconding that other anon, thos fries look insanely good
i made a proper burger for the first time todayi dont think i've ever bought ground beef since we basically don't eat beef in poland outside of kebabs it was great, i've made pickled onions and i'm gonna try them tomorrowi added cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and fresh cucumbers, thought about onions but cba, not really sure what else i could put init squirted when i bit into it but it didnt disintegrate and toasted buns definitely helped
>>21853913>hey chatgpt, make fun of this burger
>>21857567>goose fatlolI like it like that>>21857565>awwww this girl doesn't like meI think it was women in general, regardless I do feel kind of bad for him. >>21857607>>21857659thanks bros>>21857663Nice, glad you enjoyed it, should've taken a pic for us fren. I think our beef in Europe is great, I buy from a local butcher and it's fantastic for burgers.
>>21853933>>21853940Honey, get the samefag repellent.
>>21857681why are you like this?
>>21855491
>>21857679i think poland has like the lowest relative consumption of beef in the entire world or it's close, we make a lot of beef but it's exported to germany, netherlands and france mostly
>>21857696Interesting although European countries mostly eat pork and chicken. In my country the most common ground beef is a mix of beef and pork and that's how people consume it and they might make a beef stew once every week or two. I do like Polish sausage though, when I lived in Greece for a while I was going to this Polish butcher/store and the meats were imported and everything tasted great. Same with a Czech store. The meat for this burger was a bunch of cuts I chose that I told the butcher to turn into ground beef, it's good like that because you chose how much fat goes. I told him 80/20. They also sell beef tallow which is very tasty but a bit expensive, they also sell chunks of beef fat that you can render yourself which is much much cheaper, I've done that a few times.
>>21857709>most common ground beefground meat*
>>21853947Damn what a cutie. Now I want a deer buddy.
>>21857709i bought beef tallow and used it, smell is kind of like sweet but the smoke point isn't greatyou never really see any beef but i started shopping at auchan which is very french supermarkety and not really adapted to local markets and they have cool stuff like cheap parmesan and that sort of a jelly isle that you don't see anymore
>>21853940yo bro, so the fries took like 1 or 2 hours to make, you clock that with just cooking the burger on the pan and maybe the buns, how do you clock that? do you just do the fries first and give them the last frying right as you cook the burger?
>>21857721>but the smoke point isn't greatEven if you see some smoke don't worry, the good ting is that it doesn't degrade and oxidize like seed oils. Recently I read some studies on olive oil and it turns out even virgin olive oil despite it's "low smoke point" doesn't degrade and stays stable even after multiple uses, I think the same goes for animal fat when rendered. >>21857722I explained it here>>21857305You can do it the night before, I did a bigger batch so now I have frozen potatoes ready to be fried, even a single fry will make some great fries.
>>21857689I thought this was a picture of pepe shooting you and blood coming out. Cannot believe a dr pepper dissapointed me.
>>21857717That's a cowe
>>21857733i used to use avocado oil which was great but it's expensive and now i'm trying out processed olive oil which sits at like 220C so around vegetable oil but i might still use avocado oil for stir fries or something
>>21857768But her head looks deer'ish. Well I want a cow buddy then.
>>21855491classic
>>21857674it do be like that
