Making A US Big Mac Using All 54 McDonald's Ingredients | Fast Food Chemistry
This bring the term “homemade” to a whole new level
Mhm.
my dishes mean noithing now
yep lol

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.
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
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 🤞
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.
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.
This channel is more entertaining than Netflix.
Cc Reed Hastings.
xD
Yes lmao
Then you might be watching the wrong shows 😆
Stupid as* money heist
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.
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
"mom can we get mcdonald's?"
mom: "we have mcdonald's at home"
"oh yeah"
this joke is overused straight up from 2015, please you are committing a heinous horrendous crime
@@mkmllrc nah man i worked on this joke for two weeks it's completely original
@@mkmllrc Bro don't be so unfair, the world needs more contemporary comedians like this guy
@@greatwallofchina886 nah you will see thousands of this just type in the search bar “mom can we have mcdonalds meme”

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
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

But most importantly: Cheese is love, cheese is life. So glad growing up in Switzerland introduced me to the greatest stuff on Earth.
is the switzerland part a joke because you are called kim jong-un?
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.
How chemistry students makes their own food at college :
Ouch, i weigh everything and use exact for everything, hell with fluids I'll literally find the density and then weigh the volume because it's more accurate
We also dont use common names, those are disgusting
@@ryanknebl1622 salt chloride
Hahaha i dought , thus is how they make money but won't eat it themselves they know the ugly side 😂
Not quite how I made food studying chemistry but I'd love to try and make all this like he did
Home run video love it got to do more of this
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.
The ingredients are like the back of the shampoo bottle 😅
@favetti's airsoft
you don’t?
@@dogburger1033 What's your favorite shampoo flavor?
@@MY-KEL coconut but I am more of a body soap kind of person :)
everything consists of chemicals, water is a chemical. You shouldn't be so worried.

Hahahahahaha! Talk about doing it the hard way. Liked!
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 !!!!!
Looks like this a front and he's really making meth.

Also allot of drug users

Great time to create a punchline when he dropped the cheese.

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.
This is the content I need
Honestly one of the most interesting videos on youtube today. I love learning about what chemicals are in food.
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
"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
Atleast i have bleach
Ive never felt less hungry watching a cooking show!
Thals for the recipe! Will be making it soon.
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
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.
This episode was different love it 😂
thank you i have been trying to cut off fast food all together this helps
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
This chemical can cause vomiting nasuea, dirrahea, and possibly death.
Americans: ehhhhh as long as it makes it taste better
Lol america is so backwards
@@ye23. yet it’s financial, pharmaceutical, military, and space program is leaps beyond 😐
@@serensolomand8958 im not british.
@@thetecno5800 the US has: no free healthcare, ppl drowning in student loans, more money for the military and defence contractors than to help its own people, a heavy reliance on credit to do basic things in life, having to tip service workers because they make $2 an hour if you dont. A non liveable minimum wage. A measly $1400 stimulus check during a global pandemic, yet supposedly the richest country in the world. Thats nothing to be proud of 😂 im sorry but the rest of the developed world laughs at america
@@Rher_the_Moon exactly Steven Crowder did a video about the "free" health care in Canada and he had to wait 5+ hours
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.
“But I think, it will be still edible” my favourite sentence when it comes to food!!
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.
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

great video food scientist was awesome
Great, now I'm not sure if I want a big Mac right now or never again. Thanks
4:38 the way harry YEETED that cheese and then gave that cheesy smile was hilarious
Edit: wow thanks for all the likes guys :)
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
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 ur recipes look pretty good tbh but i didn't find the burger recipe lol

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
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
@@MrXbox-ye5uy I don’t think he buys them, I think the actual channel does
@@MrXbox-ye5uy they had a quick price comparison near the end

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 :)
The off camera "We're trying to make a Horse oil mayonnaise" just sent me 😂😂😂😂😂 what a video
“The way he’s shaking it, it’s like going to explode”
*footage of cutting cucumbers painfully slow*

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.
Good job!!!
I watched this high and it was the most interesting thing I’ve ever watched
mad respect for this channel. the effort is crazy
I agree I love consuming this media of using the amazing potential of science to make a burger. This give me meaning in life
"Horse oil mayonnaise" has to be the weirdest term I have heard during a food related show.
Great vid
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.
"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. 🤷🏻♀️
Thick water, spray cheese and canned sausages are most American foods I have experianced.
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.

6:03 😂 was this a reference to the Kardashian meme where they didn't know how to cut a cucumber?
Haven't eaten fast food in 2 decades and now i am happier than ever to keep that habit up.
Selfmade Burgers are far superior.
I started doing keto 5 weeks ago. lost 39.4 pounds so far, I've never felt better and I'm never going back. 29 years old and I'm just now learning how to eat properly. my God it has made a world of difference.

Thats actually tame compared to some of the other chemicals found in many consumable products. Reminds me of that guy who’s been eating a Big Mac everyday for like 40 years
Is that guy still alive??😳
@@aditisk99 yeah. he'll have some catastrophic event where he grows like 3 extra arms when he turns 68 and mcdonalds will have to quietly send him to the afterlife
I really want one of those microwave/hot plate combos! 😍
Ive read these weird ingredients on food fot decades but this is the first time ive ever seen them actually used in the cooking process. Blows my mind that humans were able to think of all these uses for these chemicals!
As an American, I appreciate you tossing our cheese against the wall as the way to authenticate it. That's the kind of preposterous shit we deserve. ✌️
😂😂😂 very true !
As soon as he said there's only one way to tell, I knew immediately he was gonna stick it to something lol
The PSA for the CaCl2 made me laugh. But guess it helps for making the video more exciting.
Need more of food chemistry!
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.
*This is where chemistry comes into play! It makes money because it shortens the process!*
Also by the way, Alum used to be a filler in place of things like flower in bread during the victorian age which was a lead cause in victorian deaths.
