How I Cook Burgers - Chef John Likes His Meat Pink

[aNdYmAtTeR]

HAHA! Rocket surgery? What kind of brain science is that?

[kleshco]

definitely got the money shot on that first burger bite.

[charizianne]

Hi,

What do you dab on the bread before you put the meat on top? Is it cream cheese?

And for the cheese that you put on top of the meat, what kind of cheese would you use?

Please do answer my question cause I'm interested in making this, thank you very much for your help

[bornofosirisnut]

i could never eat a burger rare. i like steak damn near bleeding but that burgers gots to be cooked

[buddahgotnuthinonme]

its 12:30am im still high and im a vegetarian...

[HamMedBukserne]

That burger looks soooo awesome!!!

[Stevoukos]

Rocket surgery?I laughed so hard!!

[vinnimin96]

Why would anyone eat a rare burger, you can't do that. It isn't stake. And if your unlucky you might get E.Coli.

[jvcrules]

@vinnimin96 How does one eat a stake?

[Wilson1592]

@jvcrules They're a bit unpleasant but with enough chewing and water they'll go down. Splinters may occur.

[wtfproductions342589]

41 people are vegetarian

[littletammy20]

makes me hungry 

[korpsefck]

damnnnn, id cum on that burgerrrr

[MulberryMurderMafia]

@JeanineIsCrunk Excuse me? Your dad gives you a midnight snake? Does your mother know about this? How has she not called the police on him? 4 times a day that's insane! On a lighter NON rape note.. This burger reminds me of mando burger.

[JeanineIsCrunk]

Will you be my dad and cook for me every morning afternoon and night? Also a midnight snake? (:

[EclecticDiscus]

Thank you from the moon, & stop coming up here!

Where is the special burger and why am i looking at a non special burger?

[Stefandurrr]

[CrossEyedLarry]

@MurphSack SECRET CHICKEN

[NipponNoUtaIchiban]

i like my meat pink.

thats what she said..

[lollobojo]

was that some camembert cheese in there? wow!

[Cytacon]

Eating a rare burger is borderline retarded, food poisoning is a bummer. Chief John gets it just right here.

[breaku45]

"you're crazy if you don't let your meat rest...."

[iownyah]

those things are huge!

[TheBuzia88]

Boner!

[awesomeness601amy]

Meant to say my lol

[awesomeness601amy]

Y food wish is to meet chef John and make something awesome and since I'm only 12, ur jokes are funny!!!

[vladeslaw]

brain science and rocket surgery :)

[quickdrawMMX]

I cook my steaks medium rare... but mined beef into burgers I cook all the way through. Food safety standards! Where did America go to school??

[quickdrawMMX]

@quickdrawMMX minced* beef!

[Turwen9]

LOL!!! Rocket Surgery!

[Ladylyla]

Two things i don't understand about americans: Why the hell do you eat raw meat? and why has the patty be so big?

[LesnarNextBigThingF5]

@Ladylyla its not raw, and everyone has their own preference, dont stereotype, you are as bad as everyone else

[Ladylyla]

@LesnarNextBigThingF5 if it's pink, it's raw and it's not really safe to eat.

[sunnyjim98]

@Ladylyla actually believe it or not, you can eat beef completely raw, but why anyone would is beyond me! lol, i despise any meat that is pink or drippy!

[Ladylyla]

@sunnyjim98 yes you can if you want to get bacterial infection(E.coli, Salmonella etc) or a tapeworm or Toxoplasma gondii :D google them, they are not nice :D

[cartouchator]

@Ladylyla you only get that with old not cooled meat. google it yourself. one of belgium's national dishes is raw minced beef. "filet américain". have eaten it for years. another "I know all youtuber".

[Ladylyla]

@cartouchator tapeworm eggs, many species of bacteria and other pathogens can survive easily even when cooled... maybe if you feeze it really good you could kill them all. It doesn't really matter if the meat is oled or not, if it's contaminated it's not safe, i wouldn't trust the seller with that, and it's pretty impossible to have meat bacteria-free so it's best to cook it really good. just a biologist

[cartouchator]

@Ladylyla tell that to my whole country eating raw beef minced meat prepared with specific sauces every 3 days :-) never been sick ;-) just get a good butcher. by the way, bacterias die at the temperature of 65°C. worms at 80°C. even pink they're dead.

[Ladylyla]

@cartouchator when you cook it to 80°C it's surely not pink anywhere :D at 70 the last pink goes away. The fact that you haven't gotten sick doesn't mean that anybody else hasn't, it's just luck. And btw.. it may take years before you notice some diseases.

[Dzaal17]

@Ladylyla Because it's delicious, and because we're spoiled.

[darthnerdy]

Mmm easy way to get food poisoning....pink mince. Not a smart idea to post this to people who will go and try it :|

[ShatterEffectt]

@darthnerdy guess beef tartar and carpaccio are inedible then lol.

[CPRpaintball]

rocket surgury? you sir are awesome

[bkershaccount]

would it be a bad idea to try this in all clad stainless? i just got my first stainless piece ever and i'm nervous what i should avoid cooking in it bc it's not nonstick.

[Juskaimi]

Look up O157:H7

[Juskaimi]

You really shouldn't eat pink hamburger. All the bacteria is on the outside of the meat until its ground up, then it becomes incorporated throughout the meat. Just cooking the outside isn't going to kill all the bacteria like it would with a steak.

[melina12556]

Chef John you rock I love all your videos!!

[MrCustomcf]

insert sex joke here

[AveragePope]

@MrCustomcf Two nuns walk into a bar. I raped them both.

[IamSuperOrange]

LOL at the top 2 comments XD

[pk709394]

very detailed and helpful, thanks!

[mrandy5588]

John you are the best!

[test804]

about the title..........

[patbus23]

IAMSOFREAKINGHUNGRY!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[dazzzdelux]

Looks dry as fuck

[TheUsmc29]

@dazzzdelux language >:(

[dazzzdelux]

@TheUsmc29 sorry , bad habit

[BlackFrostFire101]

That burger looks fucking good.

[password34]

".. if it doesn't sizzle, it's not hot"

[IGotRoaches]

seriously how did you get such a perfectly round patty?

[seattwa]

Not rocket surgery. LMAO!!

[Psycho69People]

adopt me.

[Bubviv]

Ooooh ... I really dig that slice of Brie. Mmmmm.

[riceball23]

How do you make the burger flat without pressing down on it while you cook? My burgers always end up puffing up in the middle, and I make them flat before i throw them on the pan.

[hamificationable]

@riceball23 You press down the middle before you put it on the pan. Like make the edges thicker than the center.

[13LUVKILLS13]

this probably i odd question !

but i have an ulcer an i was just wanna ask do u know an meals that would be good to eat for me an wont annoy my ulcer!

i just love love ur recipes an videos but i sadly cant really eat any of this meals!but my husband an his brother loves them lol!

[blanknot]

Where's the rest of this burger? July 27th had did done passed.

[Brulluhman]

You just want to keep the juices inside. You do that by high heat. Thatway the hamburger singeing on the outside and makes the meat get fixed by it's own juice on the inside. More better way is to make a meat ball when you still want it raw on the inside.

[TheBestGamersUSA]

burger

[Akilahrrr]

It would truly make my day if you made seasoned cheese sticks!! any kind of cheese! I kinda need to make them but can't find a good recipe!

[bigbradford69]

Is this safe? Shouldn't ground beef be cooked through before consumption?

[ZombiesAnMoreZombies]

@bigbradford69 its safe if you still have your appendix. doctors say there is no reason for an appendix, but thats because we cook our meat all the way through mostly now a days. your appendix helps you consume raw meet by breaking down the enzymes and killing any potential virus.

[z0z02004]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[TunaaaFishhh]

Rocket Surgery: Because hamburger chefs are too complex for basic NASA and medical school.

[themanofram]

I burnt my finger.

[funnydbzchick]

im going to steal his burger

[mugglemoomoo]

what the hell is rocket surgery...

[123matt567]

@mugglemoomoo worse than rocket science, cuz u hv to perform surgery in a rocket :O

[jackmitchell123]

@mugglemoomoo some say its similar to brain science.

[tizzdizz]

@mugglemoomoo Similar to Brain Science?

[loverdesquised]

@mugglemoomoo rocket science and brain surgery mixed together.

[piggemy]

those onions, please show me how to make em

[ouoliver]

Omg garage band music

[azntranc3951]

@ouoliver

royalty free music :-)

[IMKINDASHY611]

I put eggs,breadcrumbs, steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to season my burger meat.

[mariamalhilw]

when i do a hamburger i fill the burger with alot of stuff so it gets so tall i can't even eat it :P

[thewaterboy1]

@FEAR0226 Congratulations, you can read sickipedia ¬¬

[hiko1989]

@FEAR0226 Only funny until a second later you realize a preg girl will eat more. Fail.

[FEAR0226]

@hiko1989 what the hell?! am i the only one who finds this joke funny?

[FEAR0226]

@CSSFenken Ya like it? really? thx :) i never noticed, that my comment had so many likes.

[nadeeyaafiza]

Am hongry..

[hwoods01]

I am a rocket surgeon, and I do not appreciate his flippant comical use of my career choice & life's long dedication of work

[xxVeronica92xx]

If i had any super power, I would want to reach into any tv screens, computers etc and take out whatever I want. I would then go on foodwishes and just take out all of Chef John's creations and eat. That way, I would never starve in the middle of the night anymore.

[1996drod]

It's not rocket surgery

[axellable]

can u show us the burger recipe it self?

[mikenike504]

@axellable youtube . com / watch?v=Un-ZJXsvE8g&feature=re­lated

remove spaces!

[Zellophine]

Use a bamboo skewer and jab into the meat, if the juices come out clear then the it's ready! :-D

[PinkFloydrulez]

nghnhgngngnhgnhgnhgg

[rusherko]

It's not rocket surgery :D

[zygotesoup]

Where is the video of the burger!?! It's July 29th already!

[whosaiducaneatmario]

july 27! my birthday! :D thx john :3

[shevierom]

@whosaiducaneatmario D: i wish i got a burger recipy video on my birthday :I AND HAPPY SOON TO COME BIRTHDAY!

[whosaiducaneatmario]

@whosaiducaneatmario :DDDDDD

[acrophobe]

how do you prevent burgers from shrinking up too much? this is always a problem for me. i prefer thin burgers and even when i make my patties as flat as possible, they still shrink and plump up like crazy.

[shenmueryu]

July 27th?! lol I really wanna know what kind of spread you are using on that thing there.

[TELEVISIBLE]

It is dangerous to eat medium burger

[emlerron]

Eating raw meat! boy thats a good idea...duh!

[spicywinter]

Or is it arugula(sp)...hmmm

[spicywinter]

This burger looks great! It looks like brie, carmelized onions and baby spinach....tasty!

[headcrabforfood]

all ground beef must be cooked thoroughly unlike steak because the inside of steaks have not be exposed to bacterial, only the surface has. Still looks good though.

[adriploma1]

why do you need to let meat rest?

[adriploma1]

why is it actually crazy if you dont let meat rest???

[Bombalega600]

Pro.

[omarmontes90]

Can I haz Cheezeburger?

[Thegirlnextdoor42]

Hehe, I think you mean rocket science!

[EmoElmoOnHigh]

@Thegirlnextdoor42 It's incorrect on purpose, but obviously you didn't get that.

[Thegirlnextdoor42]

@EmoElmoOnHigh Oh, we got a cheeky one here, huh?

That's nice.

[franticflintstone1]

I thought you were supposed to sear a burger on both sides before cooking the rest of the way? I'll try this method next time.

[dog7156]

to bad in canada you have to cook the burger thoroughly.

[mrjost55]

Thank you for the recipe. Could you tell me what you put on the meat at the end? I really like the look of your burgers, and they're probably very tasty as well

[KrazyKindaPOPSTAR]

rocket surgery...I love you chef john (:

[evonose]

July 27th???? I cant wait that long!!!

[thevirtualnightmare]

I hate a well done burger! might as well put an old tire between ur buns!. Medium is the best!!!

[SmithGarridoLe96]

1:32 "its not rocket surgery" who wants to go operate a rocket?

[TheSunmanho]

@SmithGarridoLe96

Well I guess it was a JOKE: blending "it's not rocket science" and "it's not brain surgery".

[tansin9]

"its not rocket surgery"

[pranawarman]

can you do a video tutorial on how to make caramelized onions? thanks :D

[shrtywnaryde]

rocket surgery, john? really?

[Aprilshowersss]

@shrtywnaryde "rocket surgery" is a meme. It's incorrect on purpose.

[rogueronin82]

Wow..........Its the "we're better than everybody else" status symbol hamburger..

[Criterion515]

Such a big todo about rocket surgery? Are people so out of touch that a mixed metaphore commonly used for at least *15 years* is totally new and confusing?

[CSILopez]

"If it doesn't sizzle, it's not hot".  "It's not rocket surgery". Good one, John! ... or two!

[growingneeds]

it erm feels mighty raw.

[mackles]

I'm a security officer, sitting at my guard shack, forgot to pack a lunch today...I'm 6 hours into my shift, stomach is completely empty...this video is making me want to eat my shoes. Jesus I'm getting desperate...

[radonas]

@mackles if you can watch video's you can order food too :P

[OMFGWTF213]

What kind of oil do you use john?

[thatbastardson]
