How McDonald's makes their fries: Video reveals secrets behind the popular potato strips at the fast food joint

It's not because of McDonalds.

Well, McD's Canada blanches them (in place of soaking), then adds back a dextrose solution (so they will be more golden on the surface) and an unspecified anti-graying agent. Then it pre-fries them (how is unspecified) in the factory for about a minute before freezing them and sending them to a restaurant.

That could account for some difference I think.

Or, the unspecified anti-graying agent.

Do you people even pay attention to the video? They do some weird stuff, and it's right there in the video!

Please tell me that it is wromg!

I enjoyed that, thank you, karma to you!

Thats merican mcdonalds.

Bromated high glucose flour makes really good pizza dough.

found 4 month old macdonalds fries under my car seat, looked as fresh as the day I bought them.

Proccessed/fast food free for 7 years now and tv free for 10 years now, best part one by one my family followed me, at first they kicked and screamed, now they are all health nuts and exercise freaks, lol.

If they use enough salt for it to be preserved, then it is an insanely dangerous amount of sodium for your consumption. Did you even think before you wrote that statement?

Pizza is undoubtedly one of the world's best known foods. In Italy people eat a lot of pizza. Here's How to Eat Pizza: 7 steps (with pictures)

Hmmmmmmmmmm... seems like the video is missing a very important bit.

The section where MArio comes on - he doesn;t explain the part when 200 different flavorings and chemicals are added.

well i guess what you don;t know won't hurt you.

Thank you.

Blanching, added dextrose, some other additive I couldn't make out from the video, remove the moisture.... It's no longer potatoe! Also the "vegetable oil" answer was too vague. It is most likely a GMO soy, cottonseed oil blend. Which if you read up on cottonseed oil it's terrible! We should never ingest cotton anything.

best fries are at wendy's. they're short and thick, like my cock

They dont use transfats / hydrogenated oils in Cali, at least.

I thought possibly rapeseed..that mostly manufactured in Canada. However I do differentiate a difference in taste. The oils used in certain fast food leave my mouth with a waxy feeling. often times giving heartburn or a nauseated feeling after. Its become so bad I cannot no longer stand the smell of fast food. Whether its McD's, steak and shake or wendys.

I since have been cooking at home with either butter or lard.

During the summer I was grilling burgers and had an unopened box of onion rings in the freezer and decided to fry them in the deep fryer with lard. About 5-10 min into cooking I checked on the fryer and, noticed the lard was bubbling over (like there was some sort of soap in the batch). The bubbles not easily popping like normal...overflowing.

Its lucky I use the fryer only outside or in the garage (to pevent the smell in the house). Boy, what a mess it made.
Whatever coating was used was meant for baking and not frying. Definately not natural.

The McDonalds I went to was out of ice cream.

I love McDonalds. I live for that food. I only eat it twice a day though. But I use to work for McDonalds and we would put three times more salt on the fries at least.

why didnt he eat any, I want to see him eat some.

That is so inhumane to those potatoes. How can you skin them alive like that? I'm never gonna eat a vegetable again.

Why McDonald's French fries never go old?
but you still eat them.
