Kids really love these things; for these hamburgers I use special children’s ketchup and leave out the mayonnaise at all. And instead of cutlets, sometimes I use steamed pieces of chicken fillet, it turns out tender and no less tasty.

Olga 01/22/14
I made the hamburgers according to the recipe and decided that now I would say NO to store-bought ones. Is it possible to compare these tastes, homemade is always better!

Egor 01/26/14
If you roll out the cutlets on a board, then you can’t get them off the board; if you roll them in your hands, they turn out too thick and have a terrible shape. On high fire It burns very quickly and splashes all over the kitchen. In general, I made 3 pieces and quit. Maybe your hands are crooked

Alyona
Egor, cooking is both a science and an art. It takes a lot of patience and practice. If you want to roll out on a board, then to prevent the cutlets from sticking, use cling film (film, cutlet, film), although everything can be done just fine with your hands))) The heat, if very high, should be reduced. The cutlet should be fried, but not burnt. Oil shoots out a lot if it is poured into a wet frying pan.
I hope that next time you can show off your own homemade hamburger)))

Lina 05/11/14
Thank you, the hamburgers are just great! Now we often cook in the dorm :)

Lyusik 05.27.14
The hamburger turned out delicious. It's a shame we didn't have any buns on hand. Had to cook with sliced bread for toast. But nothing, as it turned out taste qualities This did not affect the American sandwich at all.

Sofia 06/14/14
The burger turned out delicious! Still, McDonald's doesn't have much meat, just offal. But in homemade cutlet real choice beef. Hence the taste!

Oksana 09.23.14
Homemade hamburger is a guarantee of product quality. For me this is the main thing. I've already been poisoned at McDonald's once, and I don't want to again.

Olga 01/18/15
Indeed, why spend money and buy who knows what, if you can cook such a delicious thing at home. At the same time, you will be sure that they won’t slip you some nasty stuff. Moreover, instead of a cutlet, if you don’t want to bother with minced meat, you can take a piece of fried sausage, I tried that too, it turns out delicious.

Denis 01/26/15
Great recipe. I make the cutlets in advance by stretching the minced meat on baking paper and freezing it. Then the paper comes off easily, and the cutlet turns out thin. I fry it frozen for 2-3 minutes on both sides, which allows me to get a crust and juice inside. All you have to do is select the ingredients and the hamburger is ready in 15 minutes.

Alyona
Denis, thanks for the interesting addition. The idea is great, especially in case of unexpected guests - I took the preparations out of the freezer, fried them, assembled the hamburger - and the treat is ready!

Irina 03/11/15
Mmm.. how delicious, it just made my mouth water. Will I need to cook it, but only beef cutlets are suitable? Would lamb work? And if without onions, you will get the same hamburger taste as at McDonald's7

Alyona
Irina, a hamburger cutlet can be made from different meats(lamb, pork, chicken, venison, etc.). It is clear that the taste of such a cutlet will differ from the taste of a classic hamburger, but this has more advantages than disadvantages)))

Max 04/23/17
Lies! Your hamburger is completely different from McDonald's. You can't feel the ground skin, tendons, lard, horns and hooves in the cutlet at all :))))

Alyona
Max, very accurately noted)))))))

Irishka 05/02/17
My friends and I made a whole mountain of hamburgers using your recipe. The boys praised and devoured every last piece. Thanks a lot!

Elena 05/13/17
Excuse me, but how do you make your “super cutlets” without eggs?

Alyona
Elena, sleight of hand and no fraud)))))) Well, seriously, don’t add an egg to the hamburger, just like bread, otherwise you’ll actually end up with cutlets (the hamburger has a completely different taste). And so that the hamburgers do not fall apart during frying, the minced meat should be kneaded well with your hands so that the meat releases juice and becomes almost uniform in consistency. By the way, when preparing lula kebab, you don’t add an egg either, and despite this, it holds up perfectly on the skewer.

Anna 05/14/17
It turned out very tasty! Thank you!!

Dmitry 06/18/17
This is not a hamburger, but some kind of homemade version of a cheeseburger.

Alyona
Dmitry, a cheeseburger is a type of hamburger with the obligatory addition of cheese)))))))))))))))

Hamburgers for proper nutrition

Ingredients:

BUN DOUGH(in total, this amount of ingredients yields 930-940 g of dough and 8 buns of 115 g each; if you do not want to prepare more dough than is necessary for 3 hamburgers, you can proportionally reduce its amount, however, dividing one egg required according to the recipe will not very convenient, so it’s better to make other buns-pies from the remaining half of the dough :)
500 g wheat whole grain flour. Read more
330 g natural yogurt(suitable also from cow's milk, and from goat, and even from coconut :)
1 medium sized egg
4 g dry yeast
3 g maple syrup (any glucose-containing sweetener, even regular sugar - to activate yeast)
40 ml of milk (any kind, even cow, goat, or nut)
7 g coconut oil(or olive)
FOR 3 BEEF CUTLETS
200 g lean beef
1 small onion
1 egg white
clove of garlic (optional)
salt, pepper (to taste)
finely chopped fresh herbs or spices (cumin, coriander, rosemary, herbs de Provence)

Preparation:

TO MAKE THE BUN DOUGH: In a glass or ceramic bowl, mix yeast and sugar ( maple syrup) With warm milk; let sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast; Stir the milk thoroughly until the yeast and sugar are completely dissolved in the milk;
Add yogurt and wheat flour and mix everything thoroughly - I do this with my hands - it is very important that there are no lumps;
Add the egg into the dough and mix everything thoroughly again;
Add salt, spices (herbs) to taste and oil;
Mix everything thoroughly, the dough will be quite soft and slightly sticky;
Place the dough in the refrigerator, covering cling film and leave for 12-24 hours;
Form round buns from the dough, as in the photo above (I make each of 115 g of dough) and, moistening their surface a little with water or milk, or brushing with yolk, sprinkle with seeds;
Once the buns are shaped, place them on a lightly floured baking sheet or silicone mat (or a loaf pan if you are just baking bread) and, covering with a lid or towel, let them sit for 30-40 minutes in a warm place, ideally without covering anything. in a humid oven at 40C (to create humidity, pour a glass of water onto the bottom baking sheet and lightly sprinkle the oven walls with water). During the proofing process, the most intense fermentation occurs with the formation of the main part of carbon monoxide (up to 90%), which is very important, because when molding bread buns, the porosity of the dough structure is greatly disrupted and carbon dioxide is almost completely removed from it;
Bake in a preheated oven at 220C for 15 minutes;
This dough can be stored in the refrigerator for about 2 days (then it starts to taste bitter), or you can freeze it after giving it the shape of future baking.
FOR COOKING CUTLETS: Simply blend beef with onion, garlic, spices and egg white; divide the minced meat into 3 equal parts and form cutlets; fry them in a dry frying pan or grill;
FOR THE HAMBURGER: cut ready-made buns in half; add lettuce leaves, a piece of tomato, then a cutlet to the bottom of the bun; on top add any sauce you wish: tomato, hummus, babu ganoush (the sauce was not taken into account in calculating the nutritional composition); Cover the top with the second part of the bun; To prevent the burgers from falling apart, you can insert a skewer into them;
Serve and enjoy!

Homemade hamburger

It is reviled by nutritionists and loved by children, but not many of us have tried the tasty, real and healthy homemade hamburger. This is what we will prepare today. Not many people know that hamburger is not American. National dish, it was invented by the Germans in the city of Hamburg. That's where the name comes from.

Necessary:

Beef - 1 kg
Red onion – 2 pcs.
Ketchup – 3-5 table. spoons
Tartar sauce"
Lettuce leaves
Salt, pepper to taste

For the Tartar sauce:

Pickled cucumbers - 2 pcs.
Mayonnaise - 200 g

Preparation:

First you need to prepare good, tasty, ground beef. Depending on your taste, minced meat can be made from pork, beef, veal, or even lamb. But the real one is made from beef.
For this we take lean beef and pass through a meat grinder along with the onion. If you take red onion, it will give more delicate taste minced meat.
Season the minced meat with salt, pepper and add a little ketchup.
To make the minced meat softer, we will beat it a little. To do this, hold the bowl in which the minced meat lies with one hand, and with the other hand, take the minced meat and lift it about 20 cm, and throw it back into the bowl. And so on several times. At the same time, the minced meat becomes softer and is saturated with oxygen.
The size of the cutlet depends on the size of the bun on which our hamburger will lie. You can shape the cutlet with a knife. The thickness of the burger should be the same over the entire surface so that the burger is fried evenly over the entire surface.
Heat up the frying pan and place our cutlets on it. In order to find out whether the cutlet is cooked or not, you need to press the center of the cutlet with a spoon. If the cutlet falls through, it means it is still raw, and if it springs back, then the cutlet is already ready.

While cooking, chop the vegetables.

Tomatoes and onions should be cut into rings, lettuce leaves can be lightly chopped. Since the hamburger has many layers, each layer needs to be made as thin as possible.

Let's prepare the Tartar sauce:

To do this, take pickled cucumbers and cut them very finely.
Since the sauce should be very delicate, it is advisable to use carichons, their skin is soft, but if the cucumbers are ordinary, you can peel their skins.
Combine chopped cucumbers with mayonnaise and mix thoroughly.

Let's start shaping the hamburger:

Put ketchup on the bun as the first layer, and the cutlet as the second layer.
Next, lay out 2 slices of tomato, then a few onion rings, and tartar sauce.
We spread the salad and cover it with the top of the bun.
Homemade hamburger is ready.

How to cook a hamburger at home

Ingredients:

5-6 hamburger buns. They are sold in supermarkets. You can prepare them at home yourself. At home, buns turn out no worse.
100 ml milk.
3 pickled cucumbers.
2 tomatoes.
Bunch of green salad.
100 g hard cheese.
10 tbsp. vinegar.
1 onion (for better taste It is advisable to take purple).
3 tbsp. Sahara.
15 tbsp. water.
100 g ketchup.
40 ml vegetable oil.
300 g minced meat.
Salt.
Pepper.

Preparing the hamburger:

Cut the onion into thin rings.
Cut the tomatoes into slices.
Cut pickled cucumbers into thin strips lengthwise. You can take both salted and lightly salted cucumbers- which ones will be found at home.
Cut the cheese into thin slices. You can purchase already sliced cheese slices in vacuum packaging - these are sold in any supermarket. Or just thinly slice the cheese at home.
Next you need to prepare the marinade. Mix water, sugar and vinegar. This will be the onion marinade. Dip the onion rings into it and leave to soak for 20 minutes. At home, you can simply scald the onions with boiling water. This will reduce the bitterness. But with marinade, the onions turn out tastier.
Now you need to cook the cutlets. To do this, soak one bun in milk and then squeeze it out a little.
Grind the bun, mix with minced meat and pass through a meat grinder. You should get a homogeneous mass. Salt, pepper, mix. You can include in recipes not a cutlet, but simply fried minced meat.
From the resulting mass you need to prepare cutlets. Don't make them too thick; flat patties work well for hamburgers. Fry them on vegetable oil 5 minutes on each side.
Cut the buns in half horizontally. Use a well-sharpened knife to avoid crumbling the buns. Lubricate each half with a little ketchup. Traditional recipes Hamburgers in the USA always include ketchup.
Disassemble the salad into leaves. Rinse and dry them. Place a leaf on the bottom of the bun.
Next, lay out one by one: cutlet, cheese, tomato, onion, cucumbers.
Cover with the other half of the bun. The hamburger is ready. Recipes for other hamburgers are similar to this one - you can cook them at home with any fillings - from vegetables to cheese and eggs.

McDonald's is a favorite place for a snack or a hearty lunch for many residents of almost all countries and cities. When working or studying at the institute, there is no better moment than lunch. Most people agree that McDonald's food is unhealthy, but still many of them consume such food. And their favorite dish is hamburger. McDonald's is famous for its special recipes for preparing its dishes.

Myths or reality? Stories about McDonald's hamburgers

There are a lot of rumors about the health hazards of cafe food. instant cooking. The McDonald's hamburger is no exception. Such food is not so harmful as its composition, products for preparation and production technology. Expired products, chemicals to enhance taste and addiction, additives to ready food stayed fresh for a long time.

In kitchens like McDuck's, where the flow of customers does not decrease throughout the day, it is difficult to keep the cooks' work areas perfectly clean. Frying oil is changed very rarely - saving product and lack of time. And this oil contains harmful substances from the combustion process, cholesterol and also has bad smell and taste. All this is harmful to overall health.

There are also stories that a McDonald's hamburger does not spoil for about ten years. This was told by people who decided to check it out from their own experience. As an experiment, several clients purchased a hamburger and stored it unrefrigerated for several years, checking it every week. They described their experiment on the Internet, posting photographs. The longest shelf life is twelve years. During this time, the McDonald's hamburger did not become moldy, did not rot, but only dried to a stone state.

What is added to it for preservation? Hamburgers and other food at McDuck are stuffed with preservatives and salt so much that even mold can’t take it, so why are people used to this junk food?

Additive for taste in food from McDonald's

Many people stop cooking at home, preferring to eat at McDonald's and order food home from there. And what they cook with their own hands seems tasteless, bland and inedible. The whole point is that cunning entrepreneurs, in order to keep regular customers in their establishment, they add seasonings that are harmful to health. These additives are addictive due to their effects on taste buds. This food has more richer taste, which means I like it more.

Over time, with frequent use such products regular seasonings and salt become unrecognizable to the receptors, making ordinary food seem bland and tasteless. People don't pay attention to the fact that they are gaining weight. Such food has a detrimental effect on health.

How much does a hamburger cost at McDonald's?

At McDuck, hamburgers are not very expensive, which is what attracts people - its price is only 130 rubles, and its size is impressive. But it will be cheaper to cook a hamburger at home, like at McDonald's.

The recipe is simple and does not require any special skills or products. At the same time, homemade food is much healthier, more profitable and tastier. All you have to do is give up snacking at McDuck to learn how to sense taste normally again. There is no need to eat in such establishments so as not to pay for your health, especially your own children.

How to make hamburger buns

Making these buns is simple and quick. If you want to eat a McDonald's hamburger, but don't want to buy it because you're worried about your health, you can cook it yourself. To do this you will need:

a glass of milk;
half a glass of water;
approximately fifty grams of butter;
half a kilo of flour (high grade);
a packet of quick yeast;
two tablespoons of granulated sugar;
half a teaspoon of salt.

The dough needs to be kneaded, grated sunflower oil and place in a warm place to rise. It will take approximately forty minutes. Then spread the baking sheet with sunflower oil, form bun balls from the dough, place them on the baking sheet, and flatten them. Bake as usual until full readiness when the crusts become golden brown. The hamburger buns are ready! All you have to do is wait for them to cool down, but in the meantime, start preparing the cutlets.

How to cook hamburger patties?

At McDuck, cutlets are made from things that even animals can’t eat. To prepare them, fat is taken from beef meat, which is soaked in ammonium hydroxide! This is poison for living organisms! After this procedure, the fat becomes an appetizing meat color; it is chopped, adding seasonings and flavor enhancers.

If you're still ready to eat it, it's up to you, but if not, then prepare the food at home. A McDonald's hamburger patty can be made from any meat you like. You will need:

cream;
potato;
Champignon;
salt;
red pepper;
curry and turmeric;
dill and black pepper.

Prepare minced meat and onions (mince or chop). Divide into two parts: add all types of pepper and salt to the first, curry, turmeric, dill and salt to the second.

We make puree from the potatoes, fry the mushrooms, add them to the puree, pour in cream and mix with a blender.

A canned food can is ideal for baking cutlets. Lubricate it with oil, put the first layer of minced meat, spread puree on it, cover with the second part of the minced meat. If you are preparing a lot of hamburgers, bake the patties on a baking sheet or baking sheet. This puff cutlet, as in McDuck, but you can make cutlets without a potato layer, from one part of the meat.

Assembling a hamburger from homemade products

When the buns and cutlets are ready, all that remains is to assemble the hamburger, just like at McDonald's. The assembly recipe is simple:

To do this, take a bun and cut it into two parts.
Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on the bottom, place a cutlet, a lettuce leaf, a round tomato, a slice of pickled cucumber and a square piece of cheese, preferably processed.
Cover the whole thing with a bun top and microwave at full power. Let the hamburger cook there for one minute.
When you get it out, you can lubricate the hot top butter so that the sesame seeds stick, and then sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Ready! Only, unlike the original, it will not harm your body.
