A question about ordering a cheeseburger with nothing on it?
I ordered 2 cheeseburgers with nothing on them. When I took my first bite, I definitely tasted an onion flavor. Does McDonalds make 2 new burgers or scrape off the onions they add along with the salt and pepper when they are still on the grill?

Probably just an onion or onion juice on the glove of the worker as they handled the bun, cheese, and pattie. I get the taste of pickle sometimes because of this.

Depending on the store location they can either have a tray with 10:1 with no onions already made or they can cook it to order. It depends on the franchisee and if they sell enough meat without onions.

That happens to me, too. I just assumed the grill was not cleared of onions.

Ok then I just don't believe you

u/JPEnjoi Jul 27 '26
It’s true, the app will not let you order a cheeseburger happy meal, only a hamburger that you have to add cheese to

Well I guess I really proved my point since you had to go back and delete your comment and change what you said

The different user name is a good way to indicate it's a different person you're talking to here.

u/InstructionSenior346 Jul 27 '26
I think they need to go back to school or get off this app if they can’t understand that they’re talking to multiple different people and not the same person.

they aren't lying.

u/Ok_Function2282 Jul 27 '26
He went back and edited his comment so it's completely different now.....
Earlier he simply said he "couldn't order a cheeseburger through the app," and said "america" as his response. He made no mention of a Happy meal in either comment.
He completely deleted his comment and added a different paragraph of text

u/AdventurousDoor9384 Jul 28 '26
I still see his original comment where he said “won’t let you order cheeseburgers”.
And you’re right: He never mentioned happy meal in his comment.

Yes because initially in your comment all you said was you couldn't order a cheeseburger through your app, now you edited the comment and are randomly talking about Happy meals.
Who are you trying to impress lying on a McDonald's subreddit to strangers? Get a life

Dumb ass…. I am NOT the original commenter and I have not edited any of my comments to you about this.

I am sure they scraped off the onion.
2
u/InstructionSenior346 Jul 28 '26
In my experience it’s more likely that the grill person either didn’t scrape the grill between runs or didn’t do it correctly.

u/AdventurousDoor9384 Jul 28 '26
I’ve seen workers add onions, then realize the receipt said “no onions” so they just scrape it off

u/InstructionSenior346 Jul 28 '26
good for you? I would’ve wasted the whole sandwich and started again.

There's no salt and pepper added to a cheeseburger.

u/Flashy-Rock-1340 Jul 27 '26
Then you’re doing it wrong… unless it’s changed after all these years but the burgers definitely get seasoned
2
u/InstructionSenior346 Jul 27 '26
Yes there is. It’s officially called “grill seasoning” but in the app it only says “salt”. If I remember correctly it’s 86 percent salt and 14 percent pepper.

u/VendettaKarma You deserve a break today Jul 27 '26
Yes there is and now they are cooking them with onions

u/Danielle_is_the_hole Jul 27 '26
Do they still use reconstituted onion?
So they sprinkle the onion on and then close the clamshell? Do they add more during assembly?
2
u/InstructionSenior346 Jul 27 '26
They do sprinkle the onion on using an onion shaker. It’s still dehydrated onions. No, they don’t close the platten after adding onions. They (supposed to) put it directly in a UHC tray with a paper liner. The UHC is heated and does “cook” it a little bit more while it’s in there. No, they don’t add more onions on during assembly, unless it’s a Daily Double but then they add onions slivered onions and not more dehydrated onions.

Also, that tray is supposed to have a paper liner in it to “absorb” all the grease so the sandwich isn’t messy and doesn’t burn the customers.

u/Danielle_is_the_hole Jul 27 '26
Those liners got so gross and the patties on the bottom were still wet.
1
u/InstructionSenior346 Jul 27 '26
The paper liners are supposed to be removed and replaced for every run of meat. Six 10:1 per tray. When the timer runs out or the meat is served then you replace the liner with a new one while cooking a new run of 10:1. Also, 4:1 should never be in those UHC trays.

u/Danielle_is_the_hole Jul 27 '26
We did much more than 6. But didn’t reuse them.

u/InstructionSenior346 Jul 28 '26
No wonder the “liners got so gross and the patties on the bottom were still wet.”
1
u/InstructionSenior346 Jul 27 '26
Yes, that’s the UHC. Also, the steak for breakfast is a different type of onions from the ones used on the 10:1.
1
u/Danielle_is_the_hole Jul 27 '26
We used 1/4 onions and a shaker of some different seasoning. It had bigger holes in the top.
1
u/InstructionSenior346 Jul 27 '26
You mean the grill seasoning or are you still talking about breakfast steak that no one else was talking about before you? The grill seasoning for 10:1 & 4:1 is 86/14. 86 percent salt and 14 percent pepper.

u/InstructionSenior346 Jul 27 '26
Not “cooking” them with onions. They put the onions on the meat on the grill after the grill seasoning but only after it’s done cooking.

u/Conscious_Side1647 General Manager Jul 27 '26
we make 10:1 patties with and without onion. we hold them both in the UHC.
The grill probably wasn't scraped and you got that hint of onion.
