Critical Success Points

  • Develop gluten and pass the window‑pane test
  • Emulsify cheese with sodium citrate to achieve a smooth, sliceable sheet
  • Execute the triple‑cook method for fries (low‑temp fry, freeze, high‑temp fry)
  • Grind meat while very cold to maintain texture
  • Smashed patty technique to create a crust without overcooking the interior

Safety Warnings

  • When deep‑frying, monitor oil temperature with a thermometer to prevent fire.
  • Handle hot oil and skillet with oven mitts to avoid burns.
  • Use a sharp knife carefully when cutting potatoes.
  • Keep meat grinder and work surfaces chilled to prevent bacterial growth.
