McDonalds french fries freshness?

Question

Hi all, I'm a Mc D french fries junky, just wondering how to keep the freshness of the fries on the journey home? (They always taste 1000 times better when dining in than take out).

Answer 1

Good question.  The best way to keep them "fresh" is to close the bag they are carried in.   Most of the time, half of the fries don't last until I get home because I'm eating them as I drive along.  They are sooooooo good.

Answer 2

close the bag very very tightly and resist the urge to nibble on the way home! They have to be hot - and when you open the bag, the heat escapes. We have tried to nuke them and well, it just isn't the same - and McD's fries are by far, the BEST there are, as long as they are HOT

Answer 3

Drive faster!

...or, move closer to McDonalds!!

Answer 4

I always eat them as I drive. Its the only way!

Answer 5

No way that you really can.  

McDonald’s fries are good for only 7 min only after they are removed from the oil.  After that they need to be wasted as they are no longer fresh.

Keeping the bag folded down adds about another 3 min to the time that they are good.  But in the store that they are still wasted after 7.

Also the oil is not peanut oil it is vegetable.  But the secret that gives McDonald’s fries their signature flavor is there is sugar...."yes sugar"....it is in the oil that they are cooked in.

Answer 6

Don't open the bag! place a towel or blanket over the bag to minimize heat loss.

Answer 7

you could eat 'em in the car or you can take them out of the box so they wont get soggy and cold. i dont think theres anyway to avoid this.

Answer 8

u can't.

at least i don't think.

i have tried microwaving it XP

and also REfrying them.

nothing works,

once it's not fresh anymore, it doesn't taste quite the same.

by the way,

if u're going to eat it anyways,

DON't fry them. i think they use peanut oil but u can try that.

(i used canola).

microwaving is nasty, but it tasted better.

Answer 9

keep fries open it will last longer

Answer 10

Hows your blood pressure? Ask for the unsalted ones. Should last longer in the car ride. Your not supposed to eat and drive, cell phone and drive. Just drive! When was the last time you checked your blind spots and rearview mirror.

Answer 11

eat the fries in the car

Answer 12

Eat them as soon as you get them. Put them in your lap and use one hand to drive .
