My favorite McDonalds burger has become the Double McDouble Cheeseburger. It's a secret and not on the menu, so I buy 2 for $3, cheap, like me and I combine them. No ketchup, no mustard, heavy onion. Then I ask for 2 packets of mayo and make my burger, by discarding one of the tops and putting the other burger on top.
Well I decided I wanted one of those today but did not want to go to town. So I tried to make one, I can honestly say, it was not as good as the McDonalds. I am told that they get 10 patties to the pound, which equates to 1.6 oz. or 45 grams. So off I went to duplicate the pattie. I really wish I knew how fast food joints or even store bought burgers like Members Mark keep the burger from deforming? As much as I think I have thinned the burger out, even taking into account shrinkage, it never fails to bunch up in the middle. Even when I make the middle a depression...So I give you this. They took 45 seconds per side to cook, and I could not remember if each pattie at McD's has cheese so I only put one on what would have been the top burger on each McDouble. If you get a chance to make one at McDonalds, i highly recommend it, just dont order any fries for yourself...
