>>7024906why can't people who are against commercial foods actually fucking get the details right when they're trying to shit on their practices. mcdonalds fries are brined and blanched, like a thousand other fries, like fries you get in gourmet restaurants, like fries you get in burger king, it's fucking standard practice to process fries in this way. it's not some unfair devious advantage of mcdonalds.
people like mcdonalds mostly just because of the size of the fries and the distribution of seasoning, as well as the slightly chewy, tearable texture they have. there is also the compound oil they use. deep fried foods usually have a perfect window in which the oil has broken down along with the surface of the food to promote the creation of appealing flavours, this is part of what makes deep frying a unique method of cooking. mcdonalds have formulated an oil blend that stays within this window longer and gives a specific, consistent result. you can bet the company has a fuckton of data on what this stuff is, but essentially it's the same deal as the way your grandma's pie is always the same and always good cause she uses the same exact stuff, same equipment, same oven.
