Twitter user shares updates about air frying big mac
He tweeted that he had learned a lesson from last year and will not use hot dogs and he revealed that he has removed the lettuce from the burger. In 2021, the Twitter user had air-fried a hot dog. He mentioned that he kept the temperature at 300ยฐF for the first 60 minutes. He expressed that he believes that he would be learning more about bread science rather than hamburger science. He also revealed that his wife has information about what he was doing and is unenthusiastic. After 20 minutes, he checked the big mac in the air fryer and revealed that it is โextremely hard now.โ In the clip, he touched the burger with a spatula and it produced noise as it had become hard.ย
now Iโve learned my lesson from last year- no hotdogs. You can see Iโve also removed the lettuce from this burger, assuming it will catch on fire

unlike last year, my wife is aware what I am doing, and like last year, is not enthusiastic.

i sense Iโll be learning more about bread science than hamburger science. 110 minutes continues now pic.twitter.com/g8rYbOQuzE
20 minutes has elapsed, 100 minutes remain. Like last time, Iโm hesitant to interact with the object, lest I ruin the scientific nature of this test,

it is extremely hard now. BACK TO THE FIRE pic.twitter.com/hNUceDtTTR
After 30 minutes of keeping the burger in the air fryer, the user in the caption mentioned that the smell produced by Big Mac is โpretty strange, but not overpowering, strong ketchup/sauce smell thatโs described as โnot greatโ.โ After 40 minutes, the smell had become worse and with a hint of fire. In a tweet, he mentioned that the air fryer made a โpopping noiseโ and he feared that he might have broken the air fryer. After 1 hour of keeping the burger in the air fryer, he posted pictures of the big mac alongside the caption, "1 hour has elapsed. 1 hour remains. as is customary I will be letting the air fryer come down a bit in temperature before starting another hour not much of a difference from the start, itโs a bit darker, a lot harder, but the inside remains nearly untouched.โย
30 minutes has elapsed, 90 minutes remain

air fryer is working, but I fear I may be buying a new one when my wife finds out pic.twitter.com/bQbNQSiDji
oh god the smell in the last few minutes has become thick, itโs vaguely tomato-ey and I can smell it across the house. pic.twitter.com/kPhuR3VCcv

The Twitter user again kept the big mac in the air fryer and set the temperature at 300ยฐF. The smell is starting to get worse and they are now required to open windows. A user asked the Twitter user, better or worse smell than this point in the hot dog trial,'' to which he replied, โincredibly worse.โ After 80 minutes, the big mac had turned black at the top. As he kept the big mac for 120 minutes in the air fryer, he revealed, โas two hours comes to a close, I am astounded that this is for sure still edible. Do I abandon science here? Do I continue for another hour with the bread removed? Will my wife leave me? Why didnโt I open the windows earlier?โ In another tweet, he mentioned that he cut the burger into two halves and the inside of the burger remained soft and untouched and smells somewhat like homemade meatloaf.โ He even revealed that the taste was terrible and even gave a 7/10 rating.ย
another hour begins now, 300ยฐF

I suspect I may have to go past another hour to really get any results. I have added a childrenโs timer so I donโt forget to check in at 10 minutes pic.twitter.com/GtcoLWN0va

the cheese has become the consistency and color of cheap peanut butter, and is bubbling oil pic.twitter.com/4rw7LyOefM
even with the windows open the smell has become so strong Iโve had to get out the ozone spray pic.twitter.com/cQxqgIRqBj

it has reached the texture of plastic, and the smell is best described as โhot ketchupโ I am confident I will have to go past 2 hours for any real results pic.twitter.com/MJA9PSQUPc
it now strongly smells like fire, and my wife has opened all the windows and the front door.
