i’m just gonna say this now, as a mcdonald’s worker. best case scenario, on the grills, a quarter pounder is timed to be down for about 60 seconds. in that time, we toast the buns, and assemble everything on top, so at most, actually making the sandwich only takes about a minute, just because that’s how long it takes for the meat to cook, as quarter pounders are made to order. everything else is made or order upon special requests, or we take it from a tray (i.e, regular burgers, mcchicken, nuggets, etc,). all the extra time it takes to get to you is the people up front actually putting everything else together, not us in the back.

Especially with the price of minimum wage going up everywhere. It used to be a low incentive to do the R&D to automate this process because of how expensive it is and how cheap humans were to do this technically "difficult" task. Now that humans are becoming more expensive, automation is looking like a much better option.
Well this is near future, no human cooks in Mc's etc. With Biden's 16$/h welfare cheques no-one wants to work for 15$/h. So what before was a problem (high cost of initial investment in machines in comparison to hiring and training people) now is only viable solution to the problem of lack of workers.
@@redart4742 I actually watched a video recently that that was intentional for their ice cream machines.

@Chris Bogan Yes, but also you have to take into account that this one machine does the job of like 3 people (sandwich assembly, cook, cashier). All you truly need at that point is someone at the window and someone to fry the burger. It was also made by a hobbyist with LEGO bricks and spare electronics, not someone with millions to throw to invest into professionally made automated systems. Also from what I remember when I worked fast food in my teen years, most of the cooking is done for you. We had a double grill where all you did was lay down a few patties, closed the top grill, and pressed the button for the size of the patties (1/8lb, for dollar burgers and 1/4lb for signatures) and the button was just a timer. Once the timer was done all you did was tossed the cooked patties towards sandwich assembly and then it's wrapped up and sent out. The machine already did like 80% of the work. All the cooks were really doing was making sure there wasn't a grease fire. I imagine had the quarter pounder machine been professionally made with a lot more money into it, that it would also cook the patties considering it's not hard to program timers, I mean you can get a toaster for $10 on Amazon and it cooks based on an internal clock.
Except he cheated by pre cooking his burgers and not allowing Mike to pre cook his. If Mike had been able to use pre cooked burgers kept warm his time would have dropped to about 50 seconds per burger. I did not understand why 2 1/2 minutes were added to the order? for the ordering time? If you have ever actually gone into a McDonalds you would see burgers sitting ready to go.
the fact that you had to add time to his means he already won lol. also, his skillet would have already been hot and the cheese isn’t wrapped individually. the robot cuts corners by having the burger already cooked. if anything, you should have added time to the robot.
@@brendank 30-60 second toast time on a skillet vs 150 seconds tacked on for the burger. Yes still unfair advantage because skillet is able to toast faster than a toaster, but better than more than a 2x time penalty.
id imagine they would have some sort of machine that cooks a bunch of burgers and one that toast multiple buns at the same time, a lot of stuff is made before you order it any ways, and they would be using something more robust then this lego machine
No to mention he precooked the meat prior to putting it in the robot and had the human cook it from not only raw but also frozen. It should have been a deduction in time for the human, not a penalty. This is what happens when people decide their results and then try to cram their experiment parameters into the tiny box of their preselected outcome.
FYI, I’m pretty sure ur burger was already cooked by the time you got there when you bought one AT McDonald. So that minute and a half does not include cooking the quarter pounder from scratch
He's pretty slow compared to the maccas workers I work with, however he uses his time efficiently enough to pull through, the difference being in a normal restaurant they have assigned stations like grilling the meat topping the burgers ect.
And worst part is someone would still complain it's too slow. After 15 years of managing fastfood I do not miss it one bit. #respectforfastfoodworkers.
Not only that but the thing that we do have to remember is that he hasn't worked at a McDonald's in how long? I don't remember it being mentioned but he most certainly has gotten rusty from his time away Not that it's a bad thing, but still a variable at play
To people who think his burger was pre-made, it takes 50 seconds to grill the patty, during which the entire bun can be toasted and assembled AND then the worker still has plenty of time to do other things before the patty is ready and the classic hamburger is wrapped up and ready to serve so yeah, it is possible to get a fresh burger within the amount of time it took him to drive from ordering station to getting the order
The bun isn't actually toasted at McDonalds anyways so Mike was more accurate about it. However I think the machine should have been given the win due to that additional work adding time.
@@RobertPendell McDonald’s employee here yes we actually do toast every bun on every sandwich except for the fish filet which is steamed and we also add ketchup mustard onions and cheese to every burger mcchickens get mayo and lettuce and fish filet get tartar sauce and cheese
Of course the machine will still need to be cleaned, stocked, and calibrated from time to time, but that can all be done by a single individual instead of a team of 15
with the last round it became clear that having each sauce come out seperately kind of bottlenecked. having them come out all at once (if ordered of course) would save on quite a few seconds. other than that the box dispenser also takes too much time, perhaps make a mechanism where it drops on it's bottom on the belt by sliding down a ramp rather than it's current method. and as a last note, perhaps start making the buns first, then do the box part as this saves time on cooking somewhat.
@kilsnacks You also don't get paid what you earn. The company takes the lion's share of that, and increases the workload (in ways that are not reflected in pay) in order to maximize wealth extraction while minimizing remuneration. McDonalds is ALREADY stealing from it's employees. The don't need another free meal
@kilsnacks also, if you're working at a business that isn't just completely inviable, time to lean means you did efficient work and have earned lean time. Just because you're being paid AT ALL doesn't mean you have to be in perpetual motion. You REALLY should have to pay more for that kind of frenetic action. And don't even get me started on the fuckawful safety conditions working fast food. It's like they're TRYING to get you injured
“If you’ve got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean” - I thought that was just something one of the shift leaders made up at McDonald’s when I worked there haha and that was a UK McDonald’s, didn’t realise it was an actual thing
@@whiskeyrivers701 Can confirm. I worked at a grocery store as well, and we were told this alllllll the time. We also had one called "Time to talk, time to walk" meaning, if you had time to stand around and talk to each other, you had time to walk around and see if customers needed any help.
“What’s the 6th sense you are tapping into which tells you when it’s ready to be turned” “Idk it’s in my DNA” That’s the sadest response I’ve heard this week
This has so many variables in it that are effecting the man score, in a restaurant the patty is most likely pre cooked, they have easy access toppings that do not have to be accessed through notichy draws and bottles with lids... the table is also extremely low which looks to be effecting the performance.
No, McDonald’s does cook the burgers in the restaurant. Though they use a machine that grills them on both sides simultaneously, similar to what his toaster is doing. And yes, the toppings are all laid out to be accessed very quickly.
@@AWriterWandering most of the orders the burgers are already cooked and stored in the UHC, so they are cooked in the restaurant but in batches and stored for up to 15 mins
As a Mcdonald's employee, I can tell you pretty much any of the sandwiches on the menu can be made in like under a minute. Even if the burger itself begins raw when the timer starts, the person who cooks the meat on the grill is not the same person who assembles the burger. Usually, if I need a quarter pounder (which are always cooked to order and uses never frozen beef), I tell the grill guy to drop a Quarter, then toast the buns while I prep other stuff, then I put the sauces, toppings, and cheese. By the time I'm done with that, the patty is ready, and I can put it on the burger and close the box.
when assembling burgers at mcdonalds we have a cabinet that is has slots to where we have 10 patties being warmed already cooked so it takes about 40 seconds to make a big mac
I dont think they do that in the uk, pretty sure meat kept warm for hours is just a US thing fun fact, did you know bacteria forms on warm meat in only 20 minutes?
@@hrpdrp97 Did you also know they don't keep it for anything longer than 20 minutes? Some places even cut it down to 15. They also, absolutely, do do it in the UK.

It's actually a pretty good idea. Remove the box from the equation, add a bigger hopper for both buns and burgers, and a few more hoppers for toppings, place your sauces more central, and your barbeques can become legendary
Really amazing! The system using the toaster where the bread comes out from the bottom is a really wonderful idea. The machine design is also wonderful, and the shape of the ketchup & mustard bottle is very cute and I like it !(^^)!
@Deborah Ajao No. They do have ones that cook things. They have a pizza vending machine, well, the pizzas aren't much better than any standard frozen pizza (Which are not cooked) really, but yes, they have vending machines that properly do cook foods
@Caelo de Vorago Those pizza machines are just reheating frozen pizzas bro, they aren’t actually cooking pizza…Do you know what it takes to actually make a pizza?? You’ve got to make dough, then let it rise. Cut it into pieces, then need the air out of it. Then you got to toss it to stretch or roll it out I suppose. Then it’s ready for toppings. You think all of that is going on in those pizza machines? No. What was said above is correct. Those machines only reheat premade foods.
Does the machine have everything requested? Yes. But handmade definitely crushes it in presentation. Also you didn't count the time you had to take it out and fold it yourself, but you counted folding and closing the box against the human.
Weirdly enough it normally isn’t broken. It’s actually being cleaned.... for some reason tho we say it is which I don’t understand but hey what am I to say😂😂
Rewatching this after a few years. The reason why mike is able to win is because he is able to start placing the other items on the burger while the patty is cooking. Maybe you could code that in to reduce time
Solid design, poor implementation. The machine, while I understand that it's made of Lego, could have been more streamlined. While the bread was toasting, the box could have been loading and moving forward. While the meat was reheating, the sauces could have been extruded simultaneously, instead of individually AFTER the meat had been added. Then, if one were to have chosen two toppings at once, the current design could have been sped up by adding the topping to both sides of the sandwich vs one side, thus cutting that time in half. The cheddar conundrum could have been solved by separating each piece with wax paper and using a roller to separate that from the individual slices, thus making you a cheese whiz... Excuse the cheesey jokes.
This, all day long. If you are going to actually say something is man vs. machine you need to actually attempt to make a decent machine. You are trying to make a machine use human systems. But a true machine dispensary would be optimized for machine uses. You would have something more akin to a pizza oven. Bread on the top conveyor and meat on the bottom. No pre-cooking. Your condiments would be on a gatling gun looking dispenser that would be closer to the bun so it could dispense quicker with less mess and move in a spiral pattern for better coverage. Your cheese would have the wax paper or similar separation rolled onto the patty as it passes underneath. And the biggest part of this would be volume. The human cook may still win if you do individual burgers start to finish, but how about 10 orders or 20? That is where the efficiency of the machine comes to play. Repetitive tasks with little deviation.
The only thing that annoys me is that he counts the time the man takes to close up the box but doesn't do that for the robot (by that I mean him closing it). If you take that into consideration, the man wins all three times.
@Nybbl er (Nybbler) No there always needs to be a human at the drive-thru window there to frown at you when you ask for more than one sachet of ketchup for your meal.
don't even worry about it as a current mcdonalds employee im surprised the machine wasnt faster. it takes me about 1 minute to get everything out by myself. that includes toating the bun cooking the meat and puting everything on and that is if im working kitchen by myself. (which happens when i close because under staffed.) so if i have all my coworkers its even less.
Incredible video, as always. Great execution of both the idea and the machine! I think it's really cool that you are starting to do food assembly machines instead of plain old food dispensing machines. I really hope you keep going, I can definitely speak for all your viewers when I say I can't wait for your next video! Keep it up dude! p.s I bet you can't wait to clean this up
@@iciclethehybrid sort of. So, the toaster didn’t have to cook the patty as long because the patty had been dried out with a presear. By a human. The problem with this method too is that anyone who has old, dried patties that say in the heat tray too long will tell you it’s an absolutely disgusting burger. You can’t presear like that. At that point, the machine isn’t cooking the patty. It’s just reheating it.
like that machine is sick, not gonna lie, huge respects to someone able to design and build such machine why’d you have to cut the video at 14:30 though, where the patty, cheese and bun are obviously arranged differently than before, just kinda angry at that..
as someone with 15 years food service exp, having multiple things cooking at a time is better. if the bun and burger were heated at the same time and were released when finished. Try grabbing a person with alot of FS exp when you try to redo it
"I'm gonna add 2:30 to have a level comparison" Bruh you said you precooked the patty and only heated it in the toaster. You don't need to add anything, you need to tie 1:36. "Because he was asynchronous..." You mean because you didn't make it as good?
I completely agree. The worker started with a raw patty, so if anything the machine should have had added time because time was spent before to sear the patties.
I use to watch you guys when I was 5 trying to recreate the machines yall made, beg my parents for tic tacs and Lego was my main priority. I'm 12 now thank you for making my childhood
He wouldn't even have come close to winning if the if the Burgers were not pre-cooked. I guess easy on the condiments is not an option? Bottles squirted out lots of toppings.
McDonald’s employee here yes we actually do toast every bun on every sandwich except for the fish filet which is steamed and we also add ketchup mustard onions and cheese to every burger mcchickens get mayo and lettuce and fish filet get tartar sauce and cheese
Some (theoretically, I don't know what exactly you used to make this) ways to make the machine faster: - Have the buns start toasting immediately, instead of waiting for the box to get in position. The amount of time you're toasting the buns for is more than enough to get the box in position. - Have the condiments squirted at the same time (and use less of them, 1tbsp is way more than Mike was using and so is presumably way more than McD's uses). Going one after the other just wastes time. - Have the condiments squirt while the burger is being heated, that way as soon as the patty drops you can move on to toppings. Obviously, the machine likely wouldn't be more efficient than a worker, since it requires pre-cooked patties and frequent loading of buns and cheese, but in the limited testing you did here these changes would likely make it breeze past Mike's adjusted time. Also, I noticed that Mike wasn't toasting the buns. It probably wouldn't have cost him any rounds, but that's still something to note.
@@milkman9494 Quarters are not precooked they are cooked to order from fresh (refrigerated) meat which takes longer to cook than he was in the drive thru so somone cheated there
It really isn't a comparison, because employees can run multiple orders at once, not to mention they fully cook those burgers themselves vs having (even partially) pre cooked burgers. The machine can only hold so many supplies at once so still needs someone there to refill constantly, rendering it even more inefficient and tedious. Also..where are you getting the +2 minute estimation from? Is it a formulated calculation or just a layman's estimation? While the machine works asynchronously from standard practice at a McDonald's location, isn't that just another thing that makes it inferior? Handicapping the employee time for "an even playing field" is definitely going to skew the results in a very unscientific manner making it an uneven challenge the other way, even if it was a calculated handicap instead of just an off-the-cuff approximation. Actual conclusion: the machine doesn't even hold a candle. It's an over-engineered gimick. The fact that it can be made is cool, let alone with some LEGOs, a toaster and some software. But very, very far from a comparable replacement.
I don't think you understand this at all. McDonald's does use precooked patties, they're kept in warming drawers. The machine is more of a proof of concept. If it were to actually be used, it would be scaled up. So basing the fact that a person can do more than one at a time has no relevance here.
@@SgtNomadZero no they don't use precooked patties, my roommate works there. If you have seen or know a place that does that, they are not adhering to the food prep rules that corporate puts out. It's not a proof of concept if the only thing the machine does that's the same as a McDonald's employee is make a burger. If that's the case, why not pit it against a BK employee? Or Wendy's? Or In-n-out? Why not have them all face off? The point was to see who could make a McDonald's burger faster. My argument is, that is neither a McDonald's burger, nor is the time testing an accurate test because of the handicap imposed for an "even playing field" it's just not. No customer is going to wait that long for a burger just because they can watch it be made. That's the point of fast food.
If anything, the handicap should be given to the machine. The dude had to cook that burger entirely by himself, where as the machine just had to heat it. "Just a sear" my foot that burger was cooked. And the timer for the guy started again after he flipped it. The time testing is skewed. He did this for veiws. A "close race" is far more interesting than a landslide win. It's not a proof of concept at all if it isn't done scientifically. Which the time trial was not.
I love the fact you did this during corona the height of corona should say and I only get to see it now and I think it’s brilliant. Thank you for cheering me up. I needed it.

Honestly since your first videos I've watched most of them I remember making lego candy machines from your tutorials and showing them to all my friend and the serious dedication and heart you put into them I can see has payed off I can see you have massively inproved
The machine design is pretty good. The only issue i have with the machine is how much sauce was put on the sandwich and how the sauce was placed. As someone who cooked burgers at Mcdonalds, my manager would be yelling at me for putting that much on a sandwich. As for the placement of the sauce, you could've designed it in a way where the machine dispenses each sauce in a circular pattern on the bun rather than into a pile (3 separate piles to be exact). Quality of the sandwich was one big thing my manager would always spout out about. Overall, the machine did a good job though. Well done. P.S. you should make another video of a Mcdonalds worker vs the machine and see who made the better burger by taste. Honestly, i feel like that would seal the deal on who makes the better food.
well you dont normally have to unwrap your buns and cheese and heaps of other small inefficiencies. Also these patties were raw and also kinda thick compared to mcdonalds.

This is what happens when people decide their results and then try to cram their experiment parameters into the tiny box of their preselected outcome.

@@acrylicshard Is that why a lot of the meat is dry?
The McDonald's worker looks like he moves slow but makes it in a minute
He's pretty slow compared to the maccas workers I work with, however he uses his time efficiently enough to pull through, the difference being in a normal restaurant they have assigned stations like grilling the meat topping the burgers ect.
And worst part is someone would still complain it's too slow. After 15 years of managing fastfood I do not miss it one bit. #respectforfastfoodworkers.

Build a machine that cleans itself. Until you do there is no argument here.

Of course the machine will still need to be cleaned, stocked, and calibrated from time to time, but that can all be done by a single individual instead of a team of 15

with the last round it became clear that having each sauce come out seperately kind of bottlenecked.
having them come out all at once (if ordered of course) would save on quite a few seconds.
other than that the box dispenser also takes too much time, perhaps make a mechanism where it drops on it's bottom on the belt by sliding down a ramp rather than it's current method.
and as a last note, perhaps start making the buns first, then do the box part as this saves time on cooking somewhat.

This has so many variables in it that are effecting the man score, in a restaurant the patty is most likely pre cooked, they have easy access toppings that do not have to be accessed through notichy draws and bottles with lids... the table is also extremely low which looks to be effecting the performance.
It’s around the same time as a regular worker. They also stop fine when the burger is cooking because they know that’s how it works.
No, McDonald’s does cook the burgers in the restaurant. Though they use a machine that grills them on both sides simultaneously, similar to what his toaster is doing. And yes, the toppings are all laid out to be accessed very quickly.
@@AWriterWandering most of the orders the burgers are already cooked and stored in the UHC, so they are cooked in the restaurant but in batches and stored for up to 15 mins
As a Mcdonald's employee, I can tell you pretty much any of the sandwiches on the menu can be made in like under a minute. Even if the burger itself begins raw when the timer starts, the person who cooks the meat on the grill is not the same person who assembles the burger.
Usually, if I need a quarter pounder (which are always cooked to order and uses never frozen beef), I tell the grill guy to drop a Quarter, then toast the buns while I prep other stuff, then I put the sauces, toppings, and cheese. By the time I'm done with that, the patty is ready, and I can put it on the burger and close the box.
when assembling burgers at mcdonalds we have a cabinet that is has slots to where we have 10 patties being warmed already cooked so it takes about 40 seconds to make a big mac
I dont think they do that in the uk, pretty sure meat kept warm for hours is just a US thing

@@hrpdrp97 everybody take a look at this guy. yeah, the one with the superiority complex. 😳
It's actually a pretty good idea. Remove the box from the equation, add a bigger hopper for both buns and burgers, and a few more hoppers for toppings, place your sauces more central, and your barbeques can become legendary

@Caelo de Vorago Those pizza machines are just reheating frozen pizzas bro, they aren’t actually cooking pizza…Do you know what it takes to actually make a pizza?? You’ve got to make dough, then let it rise. Cut it into pieces, then need the air out of it. Then you got to toss it to stretch or roll it out I suppose. Then it’s ready for toppings.

Solid design, poor implementation. The machine, while I understand that it's made of Lego, could have been more streamlined. While the bread was toasting, the box could have been loading and moving forward. While the meat was reheating, the sauces could have been extruded simultaneously, instead of individually AFTER the meat had been added. Then, if one were to have chosen two toppings at once, the current design could have been sped up by adding the topping to both sides of the sandwich vs one side, thus cutting that time in half. The cheddar conundrum could have been solved by separating each piece with wax paper and using a roller to separate that from the individual slices, thus making you a cheese whiz... Excuse the cheesey jokes.
You're god damn right, it makes me feel so unconfortable to see the sauces coming one after another and all those time loss...
This, all day long. If you are going to actually say something is man vs. machine you need to actually attempt to make a decent machine. You are trying to make a machine use human systems. But a true machine dispensary would be optimized for machine uses. You would have something more akin to a pizza oven. Bread on the top conveyor and meat on the bottom. No pre-cooking. Your condiments would be on a gatling gun looking dispenser that would be closer to the bun so it could dispense quicker with less mess and move in a spiral pattern for better coverage. Your cheese would have the wax paper or similar separation rolled onto the patty as it passes underneath.
And the biggest part of this would be volume. The human cook may still win if you do individual burgers start to finish, but how about 10 orders or 20? That is where the efficiency of the machine comes to play. Repetitive tasks with little deviation.
Also i highly doubt that the legos software uses multithreading hence why it works like that

To be fair, the guy doesn’t toast the buns which allows him to add the toppings well in advance of the burger so in a way, it evens out
Also the machine starts with precooked patties, while he has to start from scratch.
And he can do more than two in a row.

Some (theoretically, I don't know what exactly you used to make this) ways to make the machine faster:
- Have the buns start toasting immediately, instead of waiting for the box to get in position. The amount of time you're toasting the buns for is more than enough to get the box in position.
- Have the condiments squirted at the same time (and use less of them, 1tbsp is way more than Mike was using and so is presumably way more than McD's uses). Going one after the other just wastes time.
- Have the condiments squirt while the burger is being heated, that way as soon as the patty drops you can move on to toppings.
Obviously, the machine likely wouldn't be more efficient than a worker, since it requires pre-cooked patties and frequent loading of buns and cheese, but in the limited testing you did here these changes would likely make it breeze past Mike's adjusted time.
Also, I noticed that Mike wasn't toasting the buns. It probably wouldn't have cost him any rounds, but that's still something to note.

It really isn't a comparison, because employees can run multiple orders at once, not to mention they fully cook those burgers themselves vs having (even partially) pre cooked burgers. The machine can only hold so many supplies at once so still needs someone there to refill constantly, rendering it even more inefficient and tedious. Also..where are you getting the +2 minute estimation from? Is it a formulated calculation or just a layman's estimation? While the machine works asynchronously from standard practice at a McDonald's location, isn't that just another thing that makes it inferior? Handicapping the employee time for "an even playing field" is definitely going to skew the results in a very unscientific manner making it an uneven challenge the other way, even if it was a calculated handicap instead of just an off-the-cuff approximation. Actual conclusion: the machine doesn't even hold a candle. It's an over-engineered gimick. The fact that it can be made is cool, let alone with some LEGOs, a toaster and some software. But very, very far from a comparable replacement.

I don't think you understand this at all. McDonald's does use precooked patties, they're kept in warming drawers. The machine is more of a proof of concept. If it were to actually be used, it would be scaled up. So basing the fact that a person can do more than one at a time has no relevance here.
@@SgtNomadZero no they don't use precooked patties, my roommate works there. If you have seen or know a place that does that, they are not adhering to the food prep rules that corporate puts out. It's not a proof of concept if the only thing the machine does that's the same as a McDonald's employee is make a burger. If that's the case, why not pit it against a BK employee? Or Wendy's? Or In-n-out? Why not have them all face off? The point was to see who could make a McDonald's burger faster. My argument is, that is neither a McDonald's burger, nor is the time testing an accurate test because of the handicap imposed for an "even playing field" it's just not. No customer is going to wait that long for a burger just because they can watch it be made. That's the point of fast food.
If anything, the handicap should be given to the machine. The dude had to cook that burger entirely by himself, where as the machine just had to heat it. "Just a sear" my foot that burger was cooked. And the timer for the guy started again after he flipped it. The time testing is skewed. He did this for veiws. A "close race" is far more interesting than a landslide win. It's not a proof of concept at all if it isn't done scientifically. Which the time trial was not.

Thank you! Nobody understands as much as the people who were watching since before I could program a thing.
The machine design is pretty good. The only issue i have with the machine is how much sauce was put on the sandwich and how the sauce was placed. As someone who cooked burgers at Mcdonalds, my manager would be yelling at me for putting that much on a sandwich. As for the placement of the sauce, you could've designed it in a way where the machine dispenses each sauce in a circular pattern on the bun rather than into a pile (3 separate piles to be exact). Quality of the sandwich was one big thing my manager would always spout out about. Overall, the machine did a good job though. Well done.
P.S. you should make another video of a Mcdonalds worker vs the machine and see who made the better burger by taste. Honestly, i feel like that would seal the deal on who makes the better food.

well you dont normally have to unwrap your buns and cheese and heaps of other small inefficiencies. Also these patties were raw and also kinda thick compared to mcdonalds.
@@A.Martin maccas use many size patties
4:1
8:1
10:1
@@southaussiegarbo2054 Think I don't know that?
@@A.Martin the qtr pounder patties are thick depending where you live
Amazing I’ve been subscribed for 5 years. You inspired me to learn lego mechanisms
Flattered to hear it!

I remember this machine being nothing in your Google Meets and you just thinking of that toaster just as an idea that probably wouldn’t work out. You surprise me every video my friend. Keep it up!
Crazy that it materialized!
I feel that when the box is coming out, the buns should be in the toaster. Perfection
Wish I have that machine at home. It looks so yummy, but chicken burger is even better. 😮
The Legend Itself Is Back
Oh My Gosh My Comment Got Hearted :D
When you said that you have little experience cooking I immediately started remembering a male friend of mind who set fire and almost burned down his Granny house making fried eggs! 😓😂
Oh wow, I'd like to imagine I'd never do that.
I'm mostly a sue chef at my house.
They most likely already had it made before you got to the window
you, my sir, are the 2nd actually good youtuber i have found from RI
He wasn't even rushing and still wrecked your machine's time
It is a machine chill it was made with lego Why do you have such high expectations?
@@kalen2 He hyped it up a bit
@@kalen2 and he said he tried to get McDonalds to buy it
To be fair it also toasted the buns which adds a extra two minutes
@@thedungeoneer3084 that wasn't counted
They don’t make it they literally take it out of the freezer that wasn’t a good way of testing to see how fast they cook a burger
Wrong actually the quarter meat isn't frozen anymore. Its put in the cooler then opened to let the meet oxygen and then after awhile into the fridge in the kitchen ready for a customer
@@mattyates9305 oh I thought that it was still frozen
@@Fazorplays yea they changed it about 2 years ago i believe. But before that yea it was hella frozen haha. Also the speed they made the sandwich is false its slose to be cook to order so he should've been waiting about 4 minutes. So he either had a fresh quarter they made extra for someone else or he got an old boi
@@mattyates9305 the "10:1" meat used on all the other sandwiches is frozen then put straight on the grill. its cooked from the top and bottom and only 60 seconds. they're cooked 8 at a time then put in warmer drawers. the "4:1" meat used on quarter pounders is not frozen and cooked when you order. its cooked from the top and bottom for 90 seconds. its then put right on the sandwich
Cool toy you made. But nothing you did to compare was right.
He’s back!!
and with a banger
nice video
