McDonalds Now Claims Their Quarter Pounder Is "Juicier"

Searing at a higher tempurature does nothing for "juiciness"

In and of itself, you're right; Searing, contrary to common belief, does not seal the juices in.

However, when it comes to thin burgers like the ones McDs sells, cooking them fast on a high heat will make them juicier than if they're cooked slowly on a lower heat

Or increasing fat content by moving from 80/20 to 70/30.

Possibly, but I doubt it.

Nonsense, you will certainly get a better maillard reaction, which will give you texture, etc, but moisture content would be about the same.
 
I love these threads. It's when all the fast food snobs come out of the woodwork to get their hate on!

Nonsense.

You're confusing steak with a thin fast food hamburger.

Not at all, I'm considering how proteins react to heat. Moisture loss of a griddle at 300 (low) vs 550 (high), is negligible at best.
 
i'm just too sexy for McDonalds and will never set foot in there as i will cause many ladies, old and young, to die of a heart attack.

If you depend on the internet, you'll notice that nobody ever eats at McD's... nobody ever shops at Walmart... everybody votes third-party or independent... and so on.

I don't, rarely, like once every few years, Vote libertarian, why is that so hard to believe.
 
In one episode of Southpark, Cartman made arseburgers.

no more fat doesn't mean juicer burger.
and the cooking method is more important. you can take a 85/15 or 90/10 burger and it be juice you just have to cook it right.

they could go 78/22 and when they put it in their electric foreman grill it will kill it just as they do now.

pleased to admit i have no intimate knowledge of mcdonald's cooking methods, but will instead use my own
i have used a variety of ground beef on my grill to prep the best burger i am able to cook
the more lean they were the less flavorful they also were
thus, your insistence that a low fat (90/10) ground beef can cook as flavorful burger as one with 80/20 mix is something i am unable to duplicate for myself
 
So a couple days ago I tried the new juicier quarter pounder and I did not notice any difference........................I wonder why.
