Is it true Burger King no longer barbecues their Whopper?

Question

I was told they had to stop barbecuing and go back to frying it, because of the findings that charred meat may lead to stomach Cancer. But in return they are selling us a greasier Burger, and that also can lead to health problems...

Answer 1

They never did, it's a rotating rack w/ flames under it and the burgers are just frozen patties like you could buy at the store. Don't worry, you'r O.K, from that anyway.

Answer 2

I didn't know they did.

Answer 3

yup. i think it is true

Answer 4

Not true.....First the meat is placed on a grill like conveyor and transported through the broiler over and under the flames. It is then removed, placed on the bun and put into a warmer (similar to a steamer unit) to keep it warm Upon an order being received, the burger is removed from warmer, placed on wax wrap, inserted into microwave and heatewd thoroughly to kill any bacteria growth, removed and toppings placed on burger.  This entire process takes approximately 45sec to 1 1/2 minutes.

Answer 5

They are no longer flame broiled here in Reno. They use that same crappy thing that Mcdonalds uses to warm up the burgers. It really makes a difference in taste and overall quality.

I think they did it because doing things right is a little more expensive and there may have been environmental concerns.

Answer 6

Don't go to fast food resturants then standard
