Looks decent. But reminds me of shake shack burgers. Which suck. And are over priced. At least they are in London.

Shake Shack's mushroom burger is pretty good. And the double that's one beef, one mushroom. It is all satisfactory to a level beyond the usual chains, imo.

I was just about to say, shake shack's best burger isn't even a burger. It's a lava cheese mushroom sandwich.

You did get chicken salt, right?

Love me a burger with the lot from aussie takeaway joints. There was a caravan take away open all night in Canberra that mixed in a bit of cheap woolies snag meat with their beef burger patties. They also did a hotdog with vegemite, and the gravy was thick as molasses for the chips. After grog bog was loving horrific but worth it.

I miss fried dimmies so loving bad.

A butcher friend of mine mixes in beef sausage mince with regular mince when making burgers and it's great for thin patties. You can get s really mad crust

Welp this sucks! I was planning to custom grind my own burgers for Memorial Day, but it turns out the piece of poo poo meat grinder I bought is a piece of poo poo. I took it out of the box, looked up the manual online, fully assembled it according to the instructions, then I turned it on and it doesn’t work. Flipped both the forward/reverse master switch and the on/off/reverse switch every which way. Nothing happened. I tried calling customer service but it turns out those fuckers are closed for Memorial Day. :argh:

So now I have to go to the grocery store, buy more meat from them, and have them custom grind it there.

Still planning on good burgs but drat this is annoying.

I got a hand crank meat grinder for like twenty bucks on Amazon, it's easy to use and also works great for sausages.

Maybe don't over think it

you can also grind in a food processor somewhat decently, and you can always just finely dice the meat for a rough grind

I mentioned that but he shot me down because he doesn't have one and would rather spend money on something he can only use for meat instead of a super handy kitchen appliance.

I honestly just dice up the meat finely 95% of the time than dig out the grinder because I usually am only making 1-2 patties. I also like a nice coarse grind.

Thread opinions on the meat grinder attachment to a KitchenAid stand mixer? Versus a standalone grinder?

I already have the mixer. Realistically might use it a couple times a month for 2-3 people worth of food.

I haven't tried a standalone grinder, but the last time I used the KitchenAid attachment, I got a lot of smear even after using a brand new blade and freezing all the components prior. If I ever get back into grinding my own, I'll go standalone.

I haven't used the KitchenAid attachment but I love my stand alone grinder. Doing enough meat for two even with a hand crank only takes a few minutes and it's surprisingly easy to break down/clean up/put away

Mine was a gift, although I was assured it was "the cheapest one on Amazon". I think it's this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Grinder-Tabletop-Clamp-Sausage-Cutting/dp/B0000DE4LW/

It's been fine for me through at least fifty pounds of beef and pork (and stuffing most of that into delicious sausages), but the reviews are pretty lovely so maybe it's worth it to cough up the extra couple bucks for a nicer one?

I'll be the dissenting opinion.

I find it works great (if you keep you expectations in check). You ain't going to make 50 lbs of deer sausage out of the thing.

Cube meat. Freeze the meat cubes for a 1/2 hr or so, along with the auger. Lube the o-rings with some vegetable oil and be patient with it as you feed the meat in. Let it work. Clean up is basically toss a piece of bread in after everything and it will basically clean itself out.

Granted, I normally do this with a 3-4lb chuck roast type stuff for hamburger, but it works for me. The smearing comes from the meat getting a little to warm. So you have to have a pace and commit once you begin.

The new Basics with Babish is about making burgers and fries. They look good I guess but not as good as one would expect after grounding his own beef imo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbCgfiqq-5c

He also makes fries and does the two fry method at different temps, which seems to be the legit way to do it.

If you're going :effort: on fries, the par boil w/ vinegar step seems the most extremely key part to me, over the double fry. If you par boil then even a single fry comes out fantastic, and the double fry + freeze in between is just the best thing ever ever.

just put your fries in cold oil, turn on heat, then pull when they're done.

double frying etc is too much work unless you always have oil already hot
