In the original video, there were several comments about your recommendation for the cooking only to med-rare. I was surprised that this video didn't respond to that subject as it seems important. My understanding is that for food safety, the outside surfaces of a piece of beef need to be fully cooked, whereas the internal volume can be rare. But with ground beef (or mechanically tenderized beef), it must be well-done. I'd love an answer from Dan or ATK as to why this isn't the case for home-ground beef.
If I get my meat ground from my butcher I asked for chili grind. I have always ground poultry and meat in my food processor and never had any trouble.
American Cheese is the only cheese to be used on a burger, real American cheese, not the "American cheese food" only the real thing will do. I love your What's Eating you series.
Talking about the grinding again, I've seen Chinese cooks just use their cleaver to rough chop the meat. They give the same reason, to keep the meat tender. My question is, what would be the difference between that and the food processor? It would definitely be less mess to blur have to clean the food processor up!
Muenster cheese over American cheese all day long.
yo dan you're the shit
I believe 20/20 was about corrective laser eye surgery to remove the need for corrective lenses #SaveDansEyes
There is so much good will for this man and he will stand. Personally, I find burgers boring, even "de luxe" burgers. Also, beef in any other form is better than when it's ground. Hamburger rolls are execrable by and large and things like lettuce or tomato are abdabs at best. If I were determined to ruin my health with my diet it wouldn't be with hamburgers.
Damn i love burgers.
No cheese!
Booo American Cheese! Provolone and Gouda is way better
Could I use a cleaver and chop the shit out of the meat? Anyone?
Enjoying this series very much, but the audio on this video is terrible.
saw your add watched the whole thing thumbs up!!
I love this! I can make my own ground beef! Not just for burgers but meatloaf and meatballs too! Yes!!
What about smash burgers and the explanation as to why they are so juicy?
Your so cute!! MARRY ME!!! We can cook together 😀
I enjoy your "What's Eating Dan? videos. They are a great learning resource. Also, my girlfriend says that Dan is a cutie.
I have always heard to NEVER order a burger other than well done because it may make you sick, but steaks are ok to order rare if you like because the meat inside hasn't touched anything (your dirty hands). Is this true?
Thanks, Dan. I have my butcher course grind sirloin and have him add extra beef fat to achieve about an 80/20 ratio. Since I know where the beef came from, I feel fine about cooking the burgers to a medium/medium rare. I wouldn't do that with store bought ground beef, however. I've done the same with ribeye and the results are really good.
I like American cheese. It has a creamy texture.
You all have taught me to cook.
Why ruin a perfectly good burger with cheese?
Dan? Is there a way that you can demonstrate pressure cooking a real pressure cooker on top of the stove some recipe that involves a tough cut of meat
Dan! You the man! You know you should! I watch your show all the time. I have subscribed to your channel. And the hamburger thing about grinding your own meat I have learned so much from that video. I appreciate you teaching us something new and different thank you.
Dan, I’m really appreciating how you’re doing this series. Thank you for what you are doing.
After reviewing the comments below (and the original burger video), I do see some critical comments on your cheese selection for the burger. However, with your statement of “use the cheese you want” (or words to that effect), I believe you handled that well. That being said, I’m concerned people will be too critical over your cheese selection for grilled cheese and comment harshly. Please ignore these folks, Dan. You really have something here and I look forward to future videos.
I love spinach and artichoke formaggio however I live in the Philippines which makes it hard to find artichokes. Is there anything that we can use as a substitute?
Excited for the ice cream video. Mine never sets right.
Very educational! Great work Dan
I'm only subscribed because of you lol
Course grind for most, but finer grind preferred for smash style or grilling(if anybody is interested) 🙂 great vid buddy, I would eat a burger every day if I could :p
When you do the grilled cheese episode, please clarify if using mayo in the classic grilled cheese, if the mayo goes inside, or outside the sandwich.
Right on Dan! American cheese on a burger is awesome. I feel like other cheeses when melted seem to lose their creamy rich flavor but American doesn't that's why I like it on burgers.
Dan I was wondering if you could tell me where you guys get all of your produce used on the show. Is it local farmers markets or locally sourced? Thanks.
Dan, tell us your presidential platform. We're behind you.
Is Dan single? That’s what I need to know
I'm looking forward to the grilled cheese episode!
Excellent…I like this new format…I have more respect for this channel then I've had for a long time. Keep it up.
Whew, so glad you are not getting into politics…so over that. Let’s get cooking & discussing the science of what’s good. Thx!
Yay– can't wait for the ice cream episode. And the follow on answers to questions! I can't get consistent results with my home ice cream maker! Thank You!
It'd be great if you included hypoallergenic cheese options in the ice-cream and grilled cheese video. Dairy is one of the top allergens, as recognized by the FDA. Goat's milk is actually a great hypoallergenic alternative to cow's milk and you can make any cheese with it. Other alternatives would be vegan cheeses but they don't have the same taste, texture and qualities as real dairy.
Oh and american cheese is so processed and mild that to me, it is almost hypoallergenic!
Dan! don't read the dumb ass user comments. That is beneath you.
Thanks for this cool content! This sounds a little echoey and you could use a Mic shield. Thanks!
I'd vote for you, Dan.
Great video, great idea … just a quick question if I wanna season my burger with salt or maybe something else should I do it after grinding or maybe grind all together meet and seasoning …. also whats about seasoning with chopped onions ..
Thanks
I’m not a great cook….but I try hard! Dan’s advice is great. I love the interaction between Dan and Julia and Bridget.
Lookit Souza. In the world of politics, "That sounds stressful and I like my current job" is universally understood to be a declaration that you ARE running.
There's this thing called the "Shermanesque" statement – an unambiguous, unviolable statement that you will never, ever be President: "if drafted, I will not run; if nominated, I will not accept; if elected, I will not serve."
Since you didn't say that, I'm gonna just have to assume without additional evidence that you have campaign operations up and running in Iowa and New Hampshire and are building your team out in Nevada and South Carolina. #Souza2020
Really enjoying these new types of videos you guys are posting! Loving "What's Eating Dan?" and also really enjoy "Is It Bad?" with Hannah. Also, love that both series are getting response videos too. Keep it up ATK, you're doing great!
