    Hamburger

    Object » linked to 362 games

    A hamburger is a hunk of ground beef served between two pieces of bun-configured bread. Hamburgers are often served with a variety of toppings and condiments. It is named for the region in which it was invented, not for the kind of meat (as is often mistakenly suggested).

    Here's the thing. My friend planned out this wild plan to make a giant burger from scratch using flour and yeast and all that jazz. The plan was instead of splitting the dough in pieces like in the recipes, we would use the whole dough to make one huge giant bun. Naturally of course we would also make our giant patty with a whole bunch of mince as well. Here's how it went down:
     
    We first made our dough t hrough the recipe of course having little to no knowledge on how to actually make bread except from what we see on TV

    That is one big patty.
    That is one big patty.
      . After a few scares with the dough starting to crack being to dry and then the dough becoming a bit sticky as it was too wet from some water we put in, we managed to find a nice mid range consistency. One friend in our group used to live in a bread shop which his parents run so we thought he was the most qualified to knead . This worked well as he was also very impartial to using a lot of aggressive force toward the dough and so beat it into shape. To which we jeered and cheered him on.  

    The patty came next and it wasn't too hard in making and frying it until it came down to flpping the damn thing. Now as most of you burger afficionados know, the structural integrity of the patty was an absolutely crucial aspect of any burger, just as vital as the choice of sauce in a burger. Through masterful technique we managed to use four people (with four spatulas) to manoeuvre the patty onto the other side. This was a breakthrough moment in our journey.    
     
     Finished product.
     Finished product.

    Everything else seemed to all fit into place after that with burger bun cooking perfectly and the rest being just cutting up vegetables. However, when it came to eating the thing, the distr ibution system used was not unilke that of a cake cutting system to minimise disruption of the burger stack. I gotta tell you, that was one tasty burger, I wish I had Sprite to wash it down with (guess the reference?). So here I am now, a wiser and more accomplished young man ready to head out into the future to tackle almost anything in my path. Burger King, eat your heart out!! We are the masters of your domain now!!!

    The burger was actually smaller than what we set out for it to be which wqas a slight disappointment since it didn't rise as much when we let it rest. But we still ended up being satisfied because that patty was actually pretty damn thick. If you guys want to check out more photos of the burger masterpiece, look in my images section.

    Was it cooked all the way through when you ate it?  I ask because with a burger that size it needs to be cooked at a lower heat and for longer, so it cooks through to the centre. If I were cooking it, I would fry both sides lightly to seal in the moisture and flavour, then finish it off slowly and gently in the oven.

    @GunnBjorn:@Linkyshinks: For the patty we poked holes into the meat so that it would cook faster, although we still ended up cooking it for a while. Also, no sharp pains in the stomach or bloody diarrhea so it's all good! :)
    @Robitt: As I pointed out in the blog, we cut it like a cake, so it was slightly awkward but it still worked. Obviously there is no way anyone could wrap their lips around that as a whole, so a knife and fork did just fine.

    Doesn't change the fact there's a lot of meat in there though. Then again If I were you I'll still eat it just for the sake of it. Speaking of which, how did you guys eat it? Knives and forks or the proper way (hands that is).

    This reminded me of a website I used to go to called Pimpmysnack.com (now called Pimpthatsnack.com). It's British so some of you might not regognise the brands but it's basically people making huge versions of regular confectionary and posting the results. Here's a few of my favorites...
