I wanted flame boiled Whopper

[ponyo]

But this wasn't the fire I had in mind. It's one danger of cooking lot of Vortex style chicken wings on the kettle. All that chicken grease drippings will buildup on the side of the kettle and eventually catch on fire. But the Whopper was good.

Is that your gif? Be careful near the house. When I was a kid the neighbor set their house on fire by having the grill too close, and it lit the eave of the house.

Word.

At my apt., we just got a notice a few days ago that grill, bbqs, hibachis, etc., cannot be stored on or under balconies, or within 10 feet of the buildings. (Nor used in those locations.)

I guess it makes sense.

 

[ponyo]

Yeah, it was earlier tonight. Chicken grease fire. Yeah, you can't use grills at apartment. But this is my house and I own it. So I'm allowed to do dumb things.

Flame BROILED I get...but why would you want to boil a burger?

You know that the “flame broilers” at Burger King are electric now, right? They cook at such a high temperature that the fat in the burgers basically bursts into flames as it goes through the conveyor belt. So, basically, the burgers are flame broiling themselves

I want Flame Broiled pasta.

That's pretty much my grilling method for pork and sausages.

Doesn't White Castle steam their burgers?

I thought they microwaved it. Regardless, BK is so awful now it's on my "Do not visit or eat list."

Question: Was it a delicious, high quality lunch? I think that's the standard of how ATOT judges their burgers now.

 

[MrSquished]

you can usually use electric grills at a bunch of apartments around here, just no gas or charcoal grills

This thread is the number one hit on google for "flame boiled" lol

That's usually how I grill burgers. Lightly brush them with olive oil, and the dripping oil and fat (I use 80/20) really gets some good flames going. The best is when you flip the burger and a flame shoots up 2'.

I can't imagine how bad a boiled burger would be but to each his own.

It's not hard to imagine. For really thick burger, sous vide is the best method. That's basically boiled burger.

MUTAGENS RESULTING FROM COOKING OF FOODS
Benzo[a]pyrene and Other Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Almost 20 years ago Lijinsky and Shubik (1964) and Seppilli and Sforzolini (1963) reported that beef grilled over a gas or charcoal fire contained a variety of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's). Benzo[a]pyrene was found in charcoal-broiled steak in levels up to 8 μg/kg (Lijinsky and Shubik, 1964). The source of the PAH's resulting from charcoal broiling was the smoke generated when pyrolyzed fat dripped from the meat onto the hot coals. Thus, meats with the highest fat content acquired the highest levels of these chemicals (Lijinsky and Ross, 1967). When meat was cooked in a manner that prevented exposure to the smoke generated by the dripping fat, this source of contamination was either reduced or eliminated (Lijinsky and Ross, 1967; Lintas et al., 1979; Masuda et al., 1966).

Yes. One of the reasons White Castle burgers suck. Maybe the Brits boil burgers? They've never been able to get the hang of making sandwiches and they boil a lot of meat that should not be boiled, so it sounds like something they'd do.

I think it might depend on the franchise. The local store here puts out so much smoke that I can't believe they are electrically cooked.

Oh, they make a gas version too. Here is the product page for it:

I used to be in the fast food software biz. The equipment they have for cooking this stuff in volume is impressive.

For extra polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, use Elon Musks flamethrower.
