Are McDonald's burgers grilled? Yes, we cook our beef patties on a two-sided grill. This cooks the 100% beef hamburger patty from the top and bottom. This two-sided method fully cooks the hamburger patty faster, searing in the natural juices on both sides at the same time.
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. * Weight before cooking 4 oz. (ea.)

The healthiest item from McDonald's classic menu is the hamburger, which delivers a healthy portion of protein while staying comparatively low in calories.
If burgers are your Macca's jam then my picks are the humble old Filet-o-Fish and plain Hamburger. Both are lower in total fat, saturated fat, sodium and kilojoules compared to other Macca's burgers. If you can afford it, why not add a garden salad and call it a balanced meal?
While chicken is an obvious Men's Health staple, KFC's reliance on greasy oils and subsequent sky-high calorific content makes Maccy's an unlikely victor. The more varied menu and healthy options, as well as classic, gut-busting fare, make it the ideal spot to play fast and loose with your nutrition plan.
How are McDonald's cheeseburgers made? The beef patties are formed from ground beef in a factory, then flash frozen and sent to McDonald's restaurants. Before they are served, the patties are seasoned with salt and pepper, then grilled for 40 seconds, according to a video from McDonald's Australia.

To grill the burgers, the factory has an exact replica of the kitchen you'd find in a McDonald's outlet. It's essential for food safety that the burgers reach a temperature of at least 69 degrees Celsius (156 degrees Fahrenheit). That's why a burger at McDonald's can never be cooked "medium rare."
Unfortunately it's not possible to ask for a burger wrapped in lettuce leaves - though you can ask for your burger to be served without the bun if you wish.
Pan-frying: If you're looking for a rich-tasting, perfectly seared burger, using a skillet to cook your burger is the best bet. While you won't get the smoky flavor of a grill, a pan-fried burger will have a lot of caramelization and a better beef flavor from the direct heat of a skillet.
We suggest putting the thermometer into the side of the burger—that way it's less likely to go all the way through the meat and give you a false reading. At 120°F, the burger will be rare. At 130°F, it'll be medium-rare. 140°F is medium, 150°F is medium-well, and over 160°F is well done.
Our 100% beef is ground, formed into patties, and then flash frozen. Flash freezing is when beef is quickly frozen to seal in fresh flavor. From the day it was formed, it usually takes about two to three weeks until the burger is served.
In 1990, the company announced that they would replace the beef tallow with 100 percent vegetable oil. After the announcement, McDonald's stock fell 8.3 percent. The new fry didn't stack up. As it turns out, the beef tallow had added more than just cholesterol to the signature french fry.

A slice of cheese in the latter!
As an example, if there are no other orders, the average time from when an order is placed to cook and prepare a Hamburger is a total of 112 seconds (the beef patty is cooked on the grill in 42 seconds) and a total of 180 seconds for a Quarter Pounder™ with Cheese (the beef patty is cooked on the grill in 112 seconds).
On the contrary, McDonald's offers much healthier options on their menu list. They even serve better coffee and better Coke than BK's.

“Go for grilled dishes over fried; chicken and fish over fattier meats, like lamb; tomato or veggie sauces rather than creamy ones; and steamed rice over fried,” advises Laura.
