Do McDonald's toast their burger buns? ›

*Please note all our buns, rolls and tortilla wraps are toasted in the same toaster as buns topped with sesame seeds.

A standard white hamburger bun has 26 grams (g) of refined carbs and a little under 1 gram of fiber (USDA). It means that traditional burger buns are not only nutritionally deficient but also a no-no if you're following a low-carb diet.

According to McDonald's, these are the key changes in store for customers. The biggest and most noticeable difference is the burger buns. The old (rather sad-looking, let's admit it) bun is being replaced with a new brioche bun, which is much more in line with what you'd get in any restaurant these days.

Here are the facts: All of our burger patties in the U.S. are always made with 100% USDA-inspected beef. That's the only ingredient: 100% real beef. Our patties contain no preservatives or fillers, and the only thing we ever add is a touch of salt and pepper when the patties are sizzling hot on the grill.

The additional space is required by McDonald's, one of Northeast Foods' primary clients, as McDonald's now requires all of its buns to be frozen for product integrity and freshness.

Chemical preservatives in the beef, bun, or packaging deter mould growth. High salt content in the burger prevents decomposition. The small size of the McDonald's hamburger allows for quick dehydration, making the environment inhospitable for mould. Lack of mould spores on the burger and in the surrounding air.

The bun is white bread, just like you can buy at the grocery store.

Try basting your buns for moisture and flavor.

"Using melted butter with just a 1/2 teaspoon each of garlic powder, chili powder, or cumin can totally transform a boring bun."

“McDonalds expects high quality and freshness on a daily basis,” he explains. “Within days, our lettuce is harvested, tripled rinsed and delivered to McDonalds.”

Though we don't serve 'bunless burger' per se, you can simply order a burger without the bun - just ask your server when ordering and they'll take care of it.

Are McDonald's patties fried? ›

McDonald's burgers are made of 100% ground beef, formed into hamburger patties, and then quickly frozen at our suppliers to seal in great fresh flavor. We add salt and pepper to our burgers when they are cooked on the grill at our restaurants to bring out all that great beef taste.

Who wants a WcDonald's? The restaurant chain will temporarily change its name to resemble how it appears in anime series, which flip the 'M' for copyright reasons, but the logo remains unmistakable.

Just last year, people freaked out when it was revealed that the restaurant would start adding white onions to burger patties while they're still on the grill, which subsequently enhances the flavor.

The Bacon Cajun Ranch McCrispy is inspired by soul food flavors of the South, with a bold, creamy and spicy Cajun ranch sauce, applewood smoked bacon and crisp crinkle cut pickles, all served on a warm toasted potato roll. It's the spiced-up touch the OG McCrispy didn't even know it needed.

Butter Note: McDonald's uses real dairy butter, and may butter the buns or grill, depending on the location. Some locations use only salt and pepper on the grill, but some do use butter.

But, now that the secret's out, our options are no longer limited. To score the better bun, just ask for the “steamed bun instead of the toasted bun” or the “bun used on the Filet-O-Fish sandwich.” Some commenters warn the order does take a little longer to complete, but confirm it's worth the wait.

Nothing compares to two 100% Canadian beef patties, special sauce, crisp lettuce, processed cheddar cheese, pickles and onions on a toasted sesame seed bun.
