Quarter Pounder Burger
Instructions
Cooking Your Quarter PounderTMPre-heat an electric grill to 400 degrees. (If cooking more than one... also pre-heat an electric grill for toastingthe sesame seed buns) Lay the beef frozen patty on the grill, and after about 20 seconds, "sear" it. Sear alittle harder and a little longer than with regular hamburgers. You should apply heavy pressure for 6-8seconds. Sprinkle liberally with McD's Hamburger Seasoning. (see regular burgers to make that) About 2_-3minutes after searing, turn. Be careful not to tear the sear you just created. Add another dash Seasoning. Laythe crown of the bun facedown on an unused, clean portion of the grill. It will toast very quickly, so move itaround in a circular motion to prevent burning. After about 30 seconds the bun will be toasted enough.Remove to dress, and lay the heel facedown to the same spot on the grill. (If cooking more than one, followthe bun toasting instructions for the regular hamburger)Dressing The BunPut five "kisses" of mustard around the toasted crown about 1/2 inch from the edge, equally spaced. Then putfive squirts of ketchup in the pattern of a five on dice and the size of a nickel on the toasted bun. (Make thecenter one the size of a quarter) Add about a tablespoon of freshly chopped white onion, and the two pickleslices, evenly spaced.If you're making a Quarter-Pounder with CheeseTM, lay one slice of real American cheese on top of thecondiments. Most cheese slices are slightly too big, so cut or tear off about 1/4 inch, making a slightrectangle.By now... your meat should be done. (about 2-3 more minutes after turning) Smash the beef patty with thespatula to "squeeze" out excess fat, and then remove. Smash it again between the spatula and your freehand to additionally drain the fat. Lay it on top of your dressed crown and add the toasted heel. (If you'remaking a Quarter-Pounder with CheeseTM, lay another slice of real American cheese on top of the pattybefore adding the heel. Position the corners off alignment with the other cheese slice)Wrap it in a pre-cut 12"x12" sheet of waxed paper and either microwave it for 15 seconds, or allow it to be"warmed" in your pre-heated (lowest setting) oven for 8-10 minutes. (or use the alternate "Q-ing" method)
