Burgers | Basics with Babish

I'm so hungry rn

That first long, vertical slice down the shortrib almost got me aroused. Beautiful cut of meat man.

I'll grind my meat after this video ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

No offense because I like what you do, but it’s very expensive. Maybe try and do a separate series where you purchase a weeks worth of groceries on a budget and make 5-7 meals we can make for our families. That would be a great addition to your video series

Babish, i have an idea, and its silly but doesnt sound half bad. (Or maybe thats because im an animal)
The blue burger
(Burger is for alliteration itd more likely just be called a blue steak sandwich)
Toasted Turkish bread
Blue steak
Blue cheese
Blue lettuce (any of the types that work and if none work then use rocket idk)
Blue tomatoes
And seasoned however works best.
Im not a pro but I love blue steak and I feel you're the only kind of person who could pull it off. (Dont judge me if Im an animal and like my steaks still breathing)

need some kind of pickle, spears would be perfect

1. Thanks for ruining burgers for me now every time I make them with store bought meat I'm always gonna think of this video and how mines not good enough and 2 I'm slightly offended there was no well done burger truly the best of them all

Gross lol non grilled onions and you judge me for not having special sauce lol

Always love the videos. However, some comments:
1) The music for basics with Babish .. no bueno, you are better than that.
2) No gherkin on the burger? sinful
3) Disappointed you didn't do rosemary fries - significantly better and almost zero additional effort.

I thought that putting the lettuce under the burger stopped the meat juices from making the bun soggy.

I'm hungry!

yesss!!!

That steaming trick is interesting,gotta give it a shot at work

You must have one big ass fridge

WTF U dont want to sound racist but my do white people love pink meat so much. Us black folk like it when it's dark and that's how we know it's done to. We also like to season our burgers with Garlic Powder, Seasoned Salt, and Ground Pepper. Seasoned salt is not that different from regular salt. It just gives our burgers a different texture and taste.

Thought peanut oil was non allergic

i like all my meat (burgers, steaks, etc.) well done
*running away as fast as i can*

Take the paprika/onion powder/relish out of the secret sauce and add ~2tsp of Worcestershire sauce (depends on serving size you want) and ~1Tbsp garlic salt and you have yourself some homemade Cane's sauce.

Who watched the accidental crossover between this channel and worth it S5 sandwich episode?

Where's the George Foreman grill

We just call it fry sauce in Utah

what would the difference be between using meat ground finely or coarsely?

great video, but american cheese is horrible on burgers, i always use cheddar.

Aaaargh 😊😁😇 Why not using a trenching knife (to get rid of the silver skin) and a tomato knife for the.... you guessed it 🤪 🥃

trying to make a joke every second is kinda annoying

Says let the meat freeze but opens the oven?

I'm so inspired!! Love your channel!!

5:12 These aren't the only thing getting salted



*_FORTNITE PLAYERS_*

I like my patties well done. I don't like uncooked/semi cooked meat.

why we should not salt the grounded beef before we form the patty?

Don’t season your beef before molding it into patties?? 🤔it’d be bland as heck..those peppers you put on top won’t go into the inside of the patties. Your recipe kinda sucks.

Personally I like to make smaller patties by forming them into smaller balls and pressing them down flat with a metal spatula into a cast iron pan or skillet... then I make up for the much, much thinner patties by stacking two on top of each other after broiling either white american or smoked gouda on top of them. The texture of the pattie changes when its squashed flat, especially if you use a higher fat content grind, and the contrasting texture of two on top of each other with the extra cheese does a fantastic job of coating your mouth with flavor and the sort of richeness that makes the all american cheeseburger great.

This is the most back handed directions ever in one of his videos ever and I love it.

American cheese is not even cheese :D

its3 in the morning and I'm addicted to watching these vids

WAIT WHATS YOUR REAL NAME

All that money spent for three burgers.. Back to the real world people..

You got a sub. but please sharpen your knives. They look dull as hell

Just got to a burgerking

Have you ever tried making the special sauce with cock sauce instead of ketchup? It adds a bit of spice to the burger but is weakened by the mayonnaise. Any time I make special sauce with cock sauce I always make a bit extra to dip my fries in its that good.

Tip, instead of butter use beef tallow, it turns out better, trust me

What did we do to deserve this man.

Special sauce is just fry sauce to utahans the real og's

Y’all mind if i season the meat before forming the patty?

Medium rare is always the best!

White peoples love there bloody meat

Making the burger patties from prime cuts but using industrial mayo to make the sauce... Like seriously Babish?

Wait, his name isn't Babish?

yeah, that's not cheese

Me caes muy bien wey, abrazo!

I CAN MAKE FANCY SAUCE FOR MY CHICKEN NUGGETS

This burger is raw inside... This is not a steak, you grinded bacteria on the surface of the raw steak and put them inside the burger without cooking it throu. Good luck getting food poisoning.

Not Frenched fry
It’s fried French

Why haven’t you opened a restaurant yet

american cheese is not cheese, therefore it's not the best cheese for burgers. You need to use cheese for that

To me burgers are a full meal on itself...
I dont get why you would eat fries with them because you already have bread, id rather eat another burger.
PS: no hate to americans but american cheese is shit, even on a burger. Id recommend using old cheddar, great flavour and creaminess.

If you aren't using brioche buns for burgers I will fight you

I’ve never had special sauce

*Yes*

After watching this a few times and rewinding a few more times during 1:08. I have come to the conclusion and I figured, I should probably let you know..
At 1:08. Hey Babish? Those fries aren't done. XD

If you use store bought ground beef please for the love of god, cook that shizz brown all the way through. I don't want to get into it but that places that prepare ground beef are not always as clean as Babish's kitchen and that ground beef has several thousand times the surface area of the steaks and beef its made from and its all coming from the same low number of cutting tools and meat grinders so it has a much larger chance of getting some nasty microbes on it. This means that unless you prepare your own ground beef you are taking a large gamble with a rare/medium rare burg and may end up seeing it again later when your body won't let you leave the bathroom.

Should have put some bacon

Can you make sushi please

I hope you see this can you do quagmire salmon???

what proportion of short rib, brisket, and sirloin should I use? he didnt say it so im confused

whydon't you rinse the frys first?

how are u able to touch the handle of the cast iron without getting burned?

Dont think this is basic

Make hot dogs

I eat my burger with chicken nuggets instead of fries

Principal skinner is shook

I know this is old, but Babby can you show us how to make battered fries (the far superior form of french fry) sometime?

I personally can't stand shredded lettuce on burgers and sandwiches (too messy) but to each their own.

Raw onions on a burger make me sick I'm sorry I just can't. Grill those suckers man, plop them in a microwave, deep fry em, SOMETHING!

Personally, I like to sauté the onions in oil, and about halfway through the process, add A1 to give it extra flavor.

That’s fry sauce babish

Peanut oil is safe for those with peanut allergies! :)

YOU FORGET THE *PICKLES!!*

YOU FORGOT THE PICKLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But what if you're poor.. I can't afford 3 steaks to make my own burgers but the store bought stuff is so bad.

You're so American. put beetroot, egg, pineapple, carrot and everything else you can find on the burger it makes it taste SOOOO GOOOD. but you do you

What's the longest time you can freeze those fries?

Looks great! Though I would've added in some Italian breadcrumbs and an egg yolk to the ground beef mixture to give it a great flavor and texture

I wanted to see him make smash burgers

So like, is that basically In and Out sauce? Cause my Midwest ass misses it

Does anyone know why he says you shouldn't salt the burgers before forming the patty? I wish he would explain this stuff as he goes along

Don't let Babish catch you slipping

Hey andrew if you can combine short rib brisket sirloin why not ad like bone marrow and why not someone on tasty did it with spaghetti

Nothing was basic about this

On the Big Hero 6 series, they have this fast food chain called Noodle Burger (who's robot mascot becomes a villain). It's basically a burger with deep fried noodles serving as the bun, and apparently this is a real thing.

I need a meat grinder attachment for my Kitchenaid, always wanted to do my own ground meat but the damn thing is just so out of my price point. Though it might be a worth while investment now with my kids growing up liking burgers and bolognese pasta us a few other ground meat items.

My Special Burger Sauce is a mix of Horseradish Sauce, Mayonnaise, Ketchup, Chopped Green Olives w/Brine, Paprika, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Cayenne Pepper, and a shot/dash of Worcestershire Sauce. Be sparing on the last two ingredients, they can swiftly ruin your sauce if overused.

did you make the in n out suace?

The technique that freezes french fries right after blanching was done by Heston Blumenthal.

That Burger sucks...sorry.

mmmm smells like meat in here

please also grill the onions to add extra flavor

Can you make a vid on Cast iron like cooking with it and cleaning it
