White Castle is to sliders what the Yankees are to baseball so let's slide right into 10 reasons why
White Castle is so successful wildly successful White Castle fast food Originals White Castle
is an icon in the food industry I mean they do have a hundred years worth of experience
basically credited as being the first fast food hamburger chain the restaurant was founded in 1921
when Billy Ingram and Walter Anderson open a small location in Wichita Kansas the company grew slowly
at first but once it expanded into Texas the chain quickly became a regional sensation the company
may only have hundreds of locations compared to the thousands of mcds and DK restaurants
but the distinct Castle design of each outlet is recognizable all over the globe the first fast
food Burger was created by White Castle and has since then become extremely famous even with the
slider becoming an immediate smash White Castle's Innovations have continued over the years the fast
food chain was is responsible for coming up with new ways to prepare assemble and package burgers
in order to maintain its position as the finest slider in the industry like Castle chefs in Ohio
changed their traditional round Burger in 1949 to a flat Square Patty with holes at the request of a
brief letter placed in the restaurant's suggestion box the slider is still a staple but what goes
into them is still important today for example in 1965 White Castle restaurants decided to use
only vegetable oil more recently White Castle introduced The Impossible slider a vegan slider
that is just as tasty as the original the slider is therefore a product of its period especially
for long time lovers who are accustomed to its shape and flavor masters of the juicy burger when
it comes to hamburgers some are definitely better than others this is true of both the traditional
kind which can be dry and The Gourmet variety which can be expensive and hard to find but
there's another way to make a great hamburger with a juicier Patty the juiciest burgers are
those that use meat that's been ground slightly finer and is smashed into a thin Patty which will
yield a juicier and more flavorful result every fast food chain has its own top secret procedures
and White Castle is no exception White Castle the forerunners of the fast food Burger was the first
to devise novel strategies to seal those fatty Rich liquids inside the patties the trick in order
to seal in flavor and keep the beef soft and juicy White Castle flattens the patties until adequately
thin before searing the meat on both sides in fact this tactic is so effective that other fast
food chains have replicated it throughout the years White Castle though was undoubtedly onto
something if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery White Castle perfected a more consistent
technique that no longer required searing while other restaurants were still preparing hand-shaped
individually cooked Burgers although they continue to employ the smaller slider patties every White
Castle slider is still universally acclaimed as a juicy burger they punch holes in their burgers
what happens when a White Castle burger smashes against the underside of a sizzling hot Grill
well it turns out the result is a delectable burger patty that is both juicy and crisp but
the secret is that the Patty actually rests atop some onions and has five little secrets
that set it apart from other burgers ever Ponder the significance of the square shape and unusual
five-hole design of the White Castle sliders the dice-like punch out in the renowned fast
food sandwich are completely on purpose just like everything else in it why mention them it's just
basic physics the perforations in the burgers enable the steam to pass through them allowing
them to cook even more quickly since greater surface area equals more room for the Patty
to absorb heat they are a Cornerstone of White Castle's commitment to provide guests with fresh
Burgers as soon as humanly possible a square form on the other hand is only more effective
you can fit a lot more on the grill and not have to worry about wasting any space if the sliders
can be arranged in a grid-like Arrangement because of this several fast food chains
have switched to square patties which enables their employees to prepare more patties even
faster but White Castles five characteristic holes remain it's one distinguishing feature
Burgers cooked on a bed of onions onions onions steamed onions are a staple food often found on
many different dishes they have a complex flavor profile that is often loved by diners everywhere
onions are both sweet and savory and have a wonderful Aroma but they also carry a pungent
flavor this combination of sweet and pungent is commonly said to enhance the flavor of the food
they accompany while pungent is used as a term of endearment to describe foods with a strong onion
odor White Castle gained notoriety for their technique of scorching burgers that are thin
on both sides but when other Burger businesses replicated it White Castle has since changed the
way they prepare their burgers actually they choose to steam cook the burgers on a bed of
onions rather than flipping the patties this is more efficient for a number of factors one
benefit is not risking dense and Distortion when employees flip the burgers they also cook much
quicker and can be left for extended periods of time however the bed of onions does a better job
than anything else at injecting flavor into the meat onions sweat off a tremendous quantity of
moisture in the form of Steam while they cook this explains why sauteed onions taste so wonderful why
Castle sliders are more tasty from the inside out because when the onions from a bed beneath
the slider Patty cook the flavorful steam Rises right into the burger itself they use real cheese
cheese a staple of a good sandwich an essential seasoning for pasta a delicious and versatile
food that has been enjoyed around the world for centuries but what is cheese really it's a complex
substance made up of milk proteins milk fat milk sugar and other Dairy components most fast food
Burger chains are guilty of using cheap processed cheese on their burgers which although May taste
fine definitely detracts from the overall quality of their food White Castle uses only real American
cheese and it's added to the Burgers just before they're done grilling however there isn't really
a restriction on what they may call genuine cheese however the ingredient list for the cheese
at White Castle isn't overly long and it clearly has the flavor of real minimally processed cheese
that can be found at a grocery store additionally White Castle adds artificial color to the cheese
to give it a consistent Brilliant Orange glow a technique that fast food restaurants frequently
employ but when talking about their Frozen grocery store Burgers White Castle actually
calls their cheese a log of cheese which might not be the most appetizing image in a market
where the cheese can make or break a fast food Burger White Castle sliders succeed despite its
semi-processed label and enhanced color they use cheap but delicious toppings delicious
onions are one of the world's first cultivated plants dating back to prehistoric times but in
the last few decades onions have truly become a staple in most of American diets they're sweet
and mild and are often used in sandwiches and other Foods when it comes to fast food burgers
and onions no company is more famous for the combo than White Castle recall the onions that
White Castle uses to steam its patties they aren't quite chopped onions like you might
find at home though for the burgers made on site and the pre-made version of the sliders sold in
grocery stores White Castle substitutes dried onions which they then rehydrate before serving
while Factory dehydrated onions May lessen the freshness of White Castle sliders they allow for
the fun-sized burgers to be prepared quickly and cheap making them that much more affordable for
customers as a result White Castle is able to replicate its burgers in the freezer Department
of supermarkets all around America increasing the number of individuals who can have their
burgers even if they don't live near a White Castle the ultra concentrated Taste of the
dried onions nevertheless produces a slider that is recognizable as being full of White Castle
flavor even if the end product may be slightly less top-notch than a burger full of Farm to
Table ingredients White Castle bakes their own buns buns Sun fresh baked buns are a delicious
way to start off any Burger but what makes these so unique is that White Castle's buns are made
by their own brand the secret lies in the use of the right combination of ingredients and the use
of all natural ingredients when possible when it comes to using outside bun providers White Castle
doesn't take any shortcuts the well-known company has a few smaller bakeries from which fresh buns
are delivered to restaurants and Warehouse locations the buns are prepared in batches
sent whole and then split in two when they arrive at their destination to prevent these soft fresh
breads inside from drying up and becoming stale the restaurant saves the slicing until last these
buns are steamed with the burgers making them equally as flavorful and tender as the slider
patties before the the top bun connects to keep it all together they're then piled in a certain
order when the consumer receives the entire slider it can be handled in just one hand and won't break
apart since the buns are exactly proportioned to match the little Burgers another element
that makes White Castle sliders very snackable and convenient White Castle Frozen sliders they
were sliders while sliders are delectable and so easy to eat each little sandwich contains
a lot of Science and creativity because of this even the slider is found in the frozen section

recognizable as being tasty and practically identical to those in White Castle's physical
Outlets those packaged Frozen sliders only exclude the pickle why would you emit something so salty
and crunchy unfortunately after being heated in the microwave pickles away has come out
awful food experts have figured out how to modify other popular foods for microwave cooking but the
pickle is still a mystery because of this White Castle's Tasting Kitchen has decided to remove
the pickles out of grocery store Sliders in order to create good and tasty frozen sliders customers
can always just add a pickle to their meal at home after the slider has been microwaved if
they feel that it absolutely needs one they own all of their locations location location location

variety of different ways they're also high in fat which is why they're often considered an unhealthy
food option however some hamburgers have a fairly low fat content which can make them dry and not so
flavorful so there's a lot of room for improvement each White Castle slider has exactly seven grams
of fat and is intended to be consumed three to four at a time for a total of 21 to 28 grams of
fat per meal when compared to other iconic fast food items like the McDonald's hamburger which
