1. Kitchen open to the public
The McDonald's kitchen is a mystery to many, but it is actually open to the public. Thanks to the “Open Doors” project, anyone can learn about the snack production process, from hygiene to assembly.
2. The secret to crispy potatoes
Méqui's famous potato chips are so crispy thanks to a meticulous process. They arrive frozen and are fried for exactly 3 minutes and 10 seconds after defrosting, guaranteeing the quality standard.
3. Constant hygiene
A hygiene is a priority in the McDonald’s kitchen. Employees must wear protective equipment and sanitize their hands and forearms every 30 minutes.
4. Employee meals
Employees don't eat Big Mac every day. They have a menu created by a nutritionist that includes homemade meals such as rice, beans, salads, vegetables, light proteins and fruits.
5. Frozen breads
The bread used in the sandwiches also arrives frozen and is lightly toasted seconds before being used.
6. The soda's journey
The soda sold at McDonald’s is the same one you buy at the supermarket. At the restaurant, the syrup is stored in a room at the back of the kitchen and reaches the soda machine through tubes.
7. Exact amount of sauce and salad
McDonald's snacks are known for their consistency. The sauce tubes release the exact amount for each snack, and the salads are assembled according to a precise pattern.
Now that you know these secrets, the next time you enjoy a McDonald's snack, you'll have a even greater appreciation for all the care and dedication that goes into the process of creating these delicious meals.
