This marked the first time in more than 35 years that the Burger King Corporation was a privately-held company. Restaurant Operations Hamburger Preparation; The Hamburgers consist of a beef patty (two sizes 2 or 3.6 Ounces), a bun, and several condiments. The beef patties are cooked, and the buns are toasted as they pass through an infrared broiler. The broiler has two meat chains, each with 80-second transmit time and one bun chain that moves twice as fast. As the patties and buns reach the end of the broiler, they fall into separate pans, were they are taken and matched up (ex.Whopper patty with Whopper bun) and placed in a steam table for storage (for up to 10 minutes). Burgers are picked from the steam table and finished on a steel table, which is bounded on one side with a steam table and the other with a chute, that has a row of condiments down the middle, which is accessible to a worker on either side, a shelf above the condiments has two microwaves, one facing each side, upon it sandwich boxes are stored. Although a sandwich could be made on either side the Whopper and doubles are typically made on the left side and the remainder on the right. Sandwiches are held for 10 minutes after preparation, and if not sold within that time are discarded. Time is kept by a clock with only the minute hand on it, with the digit at which the sandwich was to be discarded written on the wrapper or box. Elapsed time from the steam table to the chute is about 30 seconds, and could be decreased in busy periods. Specialty Sandwich Preparation; The specialty sandwiches are oblong, but their preparation followed the same general pattern as burger preparation, but is carried out in a separate area. Frozen fish and chicken portions are fried for 4 and 3 ¼ minutes respectively, in batches of up to 10 portions, they are then held in a warmer, called the Henny Penny, for up to 30 minutes. The roast beef and ham portions, precooked and individually wrapped, are held at the specialty sandwich table and opened as a sandwich is made. Fry Products; Six pound bags of French fries are emptied into a wire basket that is stored on a rack ...
