You're right. I should accept that a madman runs the US at the moment
and that Americans are used to that by now and don't even bring it up anymore. The thing is that he keeps getting worse.

He is getting closer and closer to the demise that I had predicted.Try reading Conrad Black's articles in the NP!
While a lot of people would be happy if he were assassinated I fear that would turn him into a martyr. I expect that the guys from the funny farm will show up and catch him in a big butterfly need and take him away as

Leave it to Bruce to start a post so he can claim hamburgers have
anything to do with this. BTW, when does Bruce ever talk about food or cooking? Aside from pushing his vegetarian agenda, which he also never actually posts about despite there being lots of really good meatless recipes in the world.

I bought some frozen preformed burgers because it's a pretty good concept. It's fried straight out of the freezer - I like that idea too. I lay a sheet of parchment on the top and weight it down with a pot filled with water. That beef must be some really low quality stuff because its kind of chewy and stringy.
My guess is that chewy and stringy beef is the future of beef. Also, my stomach

80% is healthier, but it's that extra 5% fat that keeps these moist and enhances the taste. For burgers too lean is mean. No grass-fed beef
either nor bison, which is famously hard to cook right.
Unless you like a rare burger, bison is great for that and it is a
sweet taste.

I have been known to fry from frozen.
But I'm more curious why he fries his burgers
by compressing them. I figure you would need a
metric buttload of hydraulic pressure to raise
the temerature enough to cook, but some people
will eat it a bit undercooked anyways.

OB Food: I'll probably cook a hamburger for dinner.
I bought some frozen preformed burgers because it's a pretty
good concept. It's fried straight out of the freezer - I like
that idea too. I lay a sheet of parchment on the top and
weight it down with a pot filled with water. That beef must
be some really low quality stuff because its kind of chewy
and stringy. My guess is that chewy and stringy beef is the
future of beef. Also, my stomach don't feel so good after
eating one. It's a real gut bomb.

No need to weigh them down from frozen, that may have been your problem. They have to puff up a bit to stay soft, lets the meat
juices circulate fully.
Square burgers are great. Corners poking out of a bun is a
beautiful thing. I don't go to Walmart much but, I'll be on the
lookout for this product - if I live that long. I got the 20% fat
burgers i.e., the middle fat burger. I'm a middle of the road
kind of guy.
80% is healthier, but it's that extra 5% fat that keeps these moist
and enhances the taste. For burgers too lean is mean. No grass-fed
beef either nor bison, which is famously hard to cook right.
Unless you like a rare burger, bison is great for that and it is a
sweet taste.
Cooking this burger under-done is going to be the only way to get a
more tender burger. I'll cook it whatever way works. I found some
cheap spiral cut ham from Target so I got that and had it with some
ramen. My granddaughter went to dinner with her baby daddy. He
manages a restaurant and she bought home some very nice steak. Those
guys know how to cook a steak.

A smash burger is defined by smashing a loose ball of ground beef
(typically 75/25 or 80/20 fat-to-lean ratio) onto a screaming hot,
ungreased cast iron griddle to create a paper-thin patty. This technique caramelizes the meat through the Maillard reaction, creating a crispy, craggy-edged, and intensely flavorful crust in about 90–180 seconds

You're probably right, but my burgers are formed patties and they'dTrue, a classic smashburger must be made from freshly ground beef, not
not do too well if I tried to smash them on that grill grate. I've
got a cast iron griddle and some skillets but I don't fry burgers now
that the air fryer has come into my kitchen. No more grease

Did you ever try air-frying Spam?
I sliced a can into 4 12mm-ish slices
and arranged then into a reverse
swastika on their long edges with the
main spin axis of the swastika co-incident
with the major rotational symettry axis
of the air-fryer but offset in phase by pi/4
radians so their ends would touch the walls.
This allowed them to be cooked from both
sides at once, and the outside hardened
up a seal whilst there remained enough
water to make the slices bubble up enough
to fill the interstices.
Maple syrup flavour Spam if I recall correctly,
or perhaps that is what I poured on it.
Here, we wait for the supermarket sales

We usually buy it by the litre, and syrup gets a lot more expensive per
unit when sold in smaller amounts. Syrup prices are way up this year because of unseasonable warm temperatures decimating the sap harvest.

Yeah, getting that 1/8" thick burger medium rare will take some skill
A perfect smash burger should be 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. The goal is to create a very thin, crispy-edged patty, usually achieved by aggressively smashing a 2.5 to 4 oz meat ball onto a hot, flat-top griddle or cast-
iron pan for 60-90 seconds per side

Most people who are into maple syrup use more than that, My grandfather
used to buy it by the gallon. He often had a fruit bowl of maple syrup
with bread and butter for dessert.

Maybe when this tariff crap goes away I will get a bottle of Makers

I don't understand why they would do that
My daughter made some maple candy. It's simple enough - just get maple syrup and
boil it down. OTOH, the whole idea of boiling down such a sugar solution sounds
pretty tedious.

directly from a hobbyist producer. Or I might not. Could be,
I'd have to know a guy.
We have several maple syrup producers within a few miles of out place.
They make good syrup and I try to buy local, but the fact is I can get
maple syrup cheaper at Costco than from the locals.
At Whole Paycheck, the most expensive plain maple syrup is
$19.99 for 375 ml.

We use a few tablespoons of syrup per year. Why would I buy a litre?
I'll have pancakes for four of the next 8 or 9 days and each day will
take more than a few tablespoons. In a couple of weeks, I'll repeat that.
I've got a quart in the refrigerator as maple syrup has no preservativesI have a small container, maybe 8 oz., on the counter that I half fill
in it, I found out it will go moldy if not kept chilled once opened. Thankfully, it was just an 8-ounce bottle. There's also another quart, unopened sitting on a pantry shelf.

One of my wife's favourite treats is maple butter. It's just maple syrup that has been heated up, cooled down and then whipped.

To make 1 gallon of the syrup it took boiling down about 40 gallons of
sap. Most of the work has already been done.

I'll have to try it if we have some maple syrup.
