The Burger thread

[Skybird]

Did we already had one? I dont think so. We had threads for French Fries. Pizza. Steak. But no (self-made) Burger thread? How comes? I thought we had, but I do not find any. Time to be sure.

I prefer Burger without any experiments and exotic fancy stuff. As classic as classic can be. A special Burger spread by P&W that I mentioned before, because I also love it on salmon. The spread on both breads, upper and lower one. The meat necessarily is beef, not cow, you cannot buy cow meat in German butcheries. The burger chains woudl add up to 30% of fat to their cow meat, to make it soft and juicy, health-wise that is okay if it is good fat, not garbage fat, but well, I skip that step anyway, and I prefer it roasted and crusty anyway. Tomatoes, three slices. Onion rings. Salad, two big or three smaller leafs. Sometimes two stripes of bacon. One or two slices of Ceddar-type cheese that gets nice and greasy when heating it up. This, nothing more, nothing less.

I do not do it often anymore, preparing the meat is such a mess in the kitchen, the fat and oily smoke is everywhere, it smells until the next day (and when I prepare two dozen patties in advance and put them in the fridge, it costs me over one and a half hour and ruins the grill completely with all the fat the meat produces. I have become lazy.



But by taste I like it:

Moira still makes her own using 5% fat ground beef, done in her 'aerocook'. This way there's very little fat, no smoke and they brown nicely and stay moist

[Commander Wallace]

^ What time shall I arrive for dinner ?

[Jimbuna]

Aberdeen Angus Beef, fried onions and mushrooms.

Cheese and a fiery sauce are ocassionally optional.

This burger shall be eaten with a knife and fork. The knife should be sharp with tags.

What is an aerocook? A normal oven with "Umluft": heating plus ventilator to keep hot air moving around? Or a normal air "fryer", which in principle is the former, just as a separate tool?

An air fryer, although it bakes and roasts too

[Skybird]

Ah. That is an air fryer "plus" then, or not? Hot air plus infrared. This item is not being sold in Germany anyway, I looked for it at German Amazon before I asked. Air fryers by many brands, yes, but not this label or item.



How meat behaves in a regular oven I know. And the additional infrared makes meat crusty, crispy outside, and moist inside? I have no experience with anything infrared in cooking.

This will be here in the next week.

A convection oven, we call that "Umluftherd" in German.

The US design for such household ovens always had me wondering. When the pans are in flames and the pots are burning, you have to reach through the heat and smoke and flames to get to the buttons, isn't that impractical? Ours have the buttons and things at the front, and below the heating areas. So when the soup cooks over and the milk is up in hot foam, you have to grab a turning button with cooking hot cream on it - maybe not any better...

Cooking is dangerous business. Better let cook and have somebody else going up in flames. now I know why so many men nevertheless get married. Maybe its more clever than I initially thought...

[Jeff-Groves]

This one has voice control and Wi-Fi.
No need to reach through the flames.


Besides. The stoves like that have so many sensors on them now days it's nearly impossible to melt a pan or over heat to a dangerous level.

It was my Christmas Gift to my Wife so if anything?
She will be reaching through any flames!

So "voice control and WiFi" is American English for "I have a wife"?
