Making A US Big Mac Using All 54 McDonald's Ingredients | Fast Food Chemistry
I like how they had access to cancer-causing chemicals but not an automatic blender to help them emulsify the sauce
We’re not made of money
Or a spatula to flip the burgs
Because that's on another channel, the tech insider one.
@@JoeAvella what if I said you were?
@@still.sriracha well you'd be wrong
Props to the research team. He not only made an american Big Mac, but our British friend also ate it after making it on camera.
Because he worked hard :) If you like natural burgers, I have a simple recipe :)
yeah
yes lol
@@poggorl I have education and experience :) This is more important than burgers :) And I can make burgers :)
@@poggorl respect for this well argumented comment
The thickening agent still gives me nightmares. I used it when I was working in an old folks home and the experience of making coffee slime for people who have difficulty swallowing will always haunt me.
I work in a care home and I can relate 🤢🤢🤢🤢
Same. It haunts me to this day.
Yesssss we had pre packed thickened water that I tried once just to see and omg the texture 🤢🤢🤢🤢
@techmare None that I know of. It is a great product and it improves the quality of life of the patients who have to use it. I imagine it's not too bad once you're used to it, I just hope I never need to become used to it.
They also contain aspartame in those thickening agents and already thickened juices which cause cancer and serious digestive problems unbelievable
I like how McDonalds have the sophisticated skills to add so much ingredients to everything but can’t seem to be able to fix the ice cream machine 😂😂😂
It's never broken.
imagine going to a McDonald's and seeing a dude mixing up all these chemicals and serving it to you
shit be fresh better than it would be now
Considering how often I just rely on McDonald's being desperation food; I'd eat it.
@@peter-peterpumpkineater4982 this video should’ve made you stop....
i feel like you would be the person to buy dr squach because they said they use salt instead of sodium chloride in one of their ads
@@uuncoolguy6 it's McDonald's, it will be "fresh" 48 years from now.
It's amazing that they even put preservatives in the pickles, as if the process of making them in the first place isn't preservation
but when you pickle it it can still grow colonies of inkdew bacteria and velocirapter fungus
@@acey457 I feel like you made up velociraptor virus but I’m not going to google it either
@@chickenjuice4841 I agree 😂😂
I find it even more amazing that a pack of flour has an ingredients-list... when i buy a pack here in germany there's only one ingredient listed... guess what, it's flour!
@@johanneslinnemann6660 the flour i buy here in America is just flour. But you can buy enriched flour. Maybe in Germany they dont have to list it as such ?
"fingers crossed it should still be edible" is what made it really feel like a macdonalds burger.
One can only hope 🤞
This guy did exactly what I used to think about as a kid. I always read the ingredients and was like I can just go buy all that and make my own probably cheaper😂.
Same. I kept reading the ingredients thinking I could make my own.
This bring the term “homemade” to a whole new level
Mhm.
my dishes mean noithing now
yep lol

@@TurtleSoop Why did i laugh at this reply lol
@@TurtleSoop lol!! i like this comment :-D
I think making meth would be easier then this...
The ol shake and bake huh
As someone who has made homemade hamburger buns: you can certainly avoid the cracking without adding chemicals
Just add egg+milk before baking and then brush it with melted butter
It’s consistency via millions per day and the reason ( package transfer) shipping.
Haven’t eaten McDonalds in like 16-17 years. This is why.
After this, they should totally make this part of the school curriculum for chemistry 100% approve
What if a kid messes up or distracts a peer and gives the kid cancer leaps
Keep in mind this will be done in high school, so there will be supervision by the professor. However, by the time you are a teenager you should know the consequences of your own actions
Yes 100%
They approved it in the food industry. Much earlier...
yes
This channel is more entertaining than Netflix.

Yes lmao
Then you might be watching the wrong shows 😆

Thank you guys for putting so much effort into making this video, I seriously applaud everyone who took part because that was a lot of work. Nevertheless Greta video, found it super interesting all throughout 👌👌👏🤩
horse oil mayonnaise, lmfao, absolutely love these episodes
Half way through the video I honestly forgot he was cooking and not doing a science experiment.
i mean cooking is basically a science experiment
Cooking is just edible science,
True
Well, my mother used to say that chemistry is similar to cooking.
@@ilikepie4685 That's the narrative that food companies and the FDA wants you to believe. It's easier that way to eat things that might kill you.
When he said Thick water, I thought he was joking until he deadass pulled out the bottle
Well now I know that you can buy anything in us supermarket (i am not from us btw).
@@paulinaprochacka2380 well you can’t buy everything here
Same
You can buy anything on Amazon, tho. Not the supermarket😂
If you ever have a stroke someday you'll likely be drinking it too, for a short time anyway. It's really a medical product because the thickness helps the water go towards you stomach and not you lungs which causes aspiration pneumonia. So it's not just some random weird drink that Americans drink for the hell of it.
When I heard that the ingredients of the pickles need explaining, I just knew this is gonna be wild.
whatever happened to water, vinegar, salt, cucumbers and some time? not Thyme, but time, as in time to wait til the cucumber pieces pickle in the brine. lol
Speechless the amount of work.....
1 Month research?!?!
5 hours work !!!
And a friggin 100 bucks to produce it as close as possible !!!!!!
These guys need a raise as entire team front and back of the camera !!!!!

This reinforces why the grocery store and a few minutes cooking is always the better bet rather than fast food.
Even fruits and vegetables have chemicals and dyes
@@DanteMazzeiwell they don't if you grow them yourself without pesticides or chemicals.
@@jasonchevez5840 I live in Europe so regulations are stricter here but I’m pretty sure in America (I’m assuming ur from there ?) u could get organic ? Idk lol
@@sadsnakes Good thing everyone can do that.
While working minimum wage.
@@encouraginglyauthentic43 That is a good thing.
Honestly one of the most interesting videos on youtube today. I love learning about what chemicals are in food.
I've made homemade mayonaise by hand exactly once. My arm was sore for three days afterward. He's underselling just how much effort it takes. When I did it it was a solid 15 minutes of whipping it as hard and as fast as I could.
Props to anyone eating their chem lab experiments.
Every american who eats at McDonalds basically
Also allot of drug users
@@balisticren6155 .... ..... yes.
The only things I eat at Maccas are sprite and fries
😂😂😂
American dude: manages to get the cheese to stick after a long effort
British bloke: launches cheese at wall with the force of 1000 rugby players
The uk guy threw that cheese at warp speed
The uk guy literally yeeted the cheese
Also if you know anything about emulsification you know about how restaurant milkshake mix sticks to the walls (easy to clean though) from the heat and the gelatination of the ice cream product, dairy is not naturally sticky until sugars, thickening agents, salts or fermentation are put into the process. Hell, even homemade ice cream doesn't stick so bad to your hands, the wall, or anything it gets a hold of. Remember, emulsifying dairy product strengthens the fat molecules, gives them extra strength and helps separate the cream and syrups from the water that the ice in ice cream creates. This makes the fat and sugars that's left over much... Stickier than normal.
@@princesscarl1656 who asked?
@H V no you didn't
Alum is also used for making pickles crunchy.
I use alum as a cauterizing agent for mouth ulcers that I get from time to time due to medication.
This is the content I need
The ingredients are like the back of the shampoo bottle 😅

you don’t?

@favetti's airsoft exactly it’s delicious
This dude needs an entire channel to this kind of stuff
Some if not most chemicals are expensive, he must have a ton of money to stay financially secure when buying them

Ive never felt less hungry watching a cooking show!
Great time to create a punchline when he dropped the cheese.
"Oh Cheesus"
This is not the only thing I acquired from this video 😂
Imagine inviting Gordon Ramsay to your home and you cook this for him in front of him xD
Someone has to show this video to him 🤣
Just avoid the microwave and you will be fine
He would freak out
This sounds like a great show. How do we make it??
Thats how gordon makes his burgers
I should be studying, but instead I´m watching how to make a Big Mac with chemistry
Same!
Brooooo 😭
Make a chemistry project lol
same
Sem
There’s a dude who has been eating Big Macs everyday for 50 years and still going
Hahahahahaha! Talk about doing it the hard way. Liked!
If you watch closely on the top right of the screen the cheese had a countdown before it falls on 4:54 the countdown starts from 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 and it's written the word goodbye when the cheese fell
rip chesse
Editor so funni
Wow...good eyes
The detail bruh
Plot twist: You're the editor
Imagine if Richard McDonald’s saw how his burgers are made today😳
He would be disgusted
"Look how they massacred my boy"
Pretty sure he wouldn't give AF once he saw the profits that company brings in.
@@powertothesheeple5422 as if a dead man cares about profit
@@nickiazzetta7814 as if a dead man cares about how his burgers are made
Thals for the recipe! Will be making it soon.
Great, now I'm not sure if I want a big Mac right now or never again. Thanks
"Don't try this at home"
Yes I have all chemicals at home
Of course like I was just gonna try it...... BRuH.
You could buy it
just use bathroom cleaning supplies, and you'll be "Lovin It" in no time.
@@SketchPLAY1 guys don’t do this unless you want an unending pain worse than any you’d ever feel in your life

Fav part of the whole vid ngl ! XD
I hope you save a non-wall thrown piece of cheese to put on your burger......
@@wendyzelaya182 XD hahaha it’s amazing
Then the ad came
This episode was different love it 😂
“But I think, it will be still edible” my favourite sentence when it comes to food!!
I would never eat a burger after adding that much chemicals by myself
You can eat my burger:) It's very simple recipe. I recommend:)
lol yeah
@@SimplePeppersCookingBaking omg that was such smooth advertising hahaha
@@SimplePeppersCookingBaking ur recipes look pretty good tbh but i didn't find the burger recipe lol
lol
Thats actually so impressive. I've seen youtube chefs make a "big mac", but they didn't actually make a big mac
yes, i was always confused why they could never get it to look the same
This is why I haven't eaten McDonald's in over a decade.
I love how you can tell he's never cut a cucumber but you can tell he HAS played in snow by the way he was using two cards for that tech there 🥴
Cards? What
@@seronymus when he crushed up and cut the pills...it's a technique that most drug users will be quite familiar with haha
I love the fact that you tell us what the ingredients are and what they do. Always wondering when i see the miles long ingredients lists on my food
Just cuz ya eat it, don't mean it's food
@@aethrya Of course it is food - for the medical industry to keep getting new clients.
@@CiubyX it’s not good, it’s chemical processed food
The longer the ingredients list the worse the food.
A rule of thumb is that if you can sell it in the EU it's probably safe.
We have the strictest rules on what is and isn't food, so if it has an E code it's fine at the concentrations at which you use it.
"Horse oil mayonnaise" has to be the weirdest term I have heard during a food related show.
The off camera "We're trying to make a Horse oil mayonnaise" just sent me 😂😂😂😂😂 what a video
Carroway seed powder is what I can taste in the BigMac sauce and additionally to the mayonnaise an egg yolk mixed into the sauce.
Onions are part of the sauce.
Carroway seed powder is also very prominent in their tartar sauce on the filet-o-fish.
So basically we are eating a whole chemistry lab when we are eating a big Mac 😂.
Really any food if you think about the chemicals that food is composed of
In the US, not the UK
@@theexecutionerk True
@@Fireclaws10 it's the same in every country
@@theexecutionerk I haven't even heard of most of the chemicals.
before this video: mom, can we stop at mc donald's
after this video: you know what mom? how long does it take to make that chicken soup?
Lol
This channel fighting the evil principalities that govern our modern world by telling us they're putting a chemical thst keeps us depressed in a burger, that to me at least tastes great.
Me, a Hispanic person: Mama, how long does it take to make the arroz and frijoles?
@@OceanAce casamiento?
About 45 minutes, faster if you help me chop the veggies :)
I really want one of those microwave/hot plate combos! 😍
UA-cam is more entertaining than Netflix and its free.
I feel like I’m watching a PG version of breaking bad 😂
Anyone wondering what the herb is that makes Big Mac sauce taste the way it does: it's dill. I tried loads of internet recipes before I came across it. It's diced white onions and dill that make it taste right.
Thanks for this
Cheers from Germany
Dill relish instead of sweet relish.
@@mahalaps3 I don't add relish or pickles at all. A combination of mayo, ketchup, diced white onions, dill, salt & sugar to taste, maybe a dash of whiite vinegar.
The secret ingredient is actually cloves. Try adding a tiny bit next time and you will see it tastes just like BigMac sauce
No.
6:03 😂 was this a reference to the Kardashian meme where they didn't know how to cut a cucumber?

"Thick Water" has to be the most American thing I've ever heard of
Lol It’s used in nursing homes & hospitals for people with degenerative diseases that cause them to aspirate when drinking thin liquids. 🤷🏻♀️

Its actually a thing almost everywhere I believe.
A friend of mine worked in a nursi g home and they thickened tea for the residents
@@rossmcdonagh1554 yep, I remember the 2 years before my grandfather died we had to use something to thicken all this beverages.

It's all simple: burger buns are so different because the yeast didn't have time to work in a regular bun. The cracks on the bun confirm this.Time for yeast to act saves money for fast food producers.
