Anyone here try McD's mozzarella sticks yet?

[Archae]

Doesn't look good for McDonald's, and McD's hasn't commented on the accusations.

The reality:

[hobbit709]

1. I haven't even gotten a glass of water from McD's in 30 years.

Them and Taco Hell I avoid like the plague.

[GummyBearz]

19. They are great

I find they are great when I want to clean out the entire contents of my stomach in a fairly consistent 30min amount of time

2. I would say he/she removed the cheese.

My son did the same,"Hey mom! Check this out! Removable cheese!"

[SamKnause]

3. I read an article about it earlier.

I saw lots of pictures.

I think people are posting them on Facebook and they

are not happy with McDonald's.

I am not on Facebook or I would check it out.

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. It is super easy to remove the cheese. It's McDonald's.

I expect to get what I pay for.

I don't know what Facebook has to do with my response to the OP.

[SamKnause]

10. I am aware that it is easy to remove the cheese.

Everyone expects to get what they pay for.

What has that got to do with my post ???

If you read my post you would know what Facebook has to do with your

response.

Facebook is loaded with pictures of the empty cheese sticks.

Maybe everyone is removing the cheese ?

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. My facebook is filled with pictures of dogs... and sometimes cats.

I follow Photo Doggies for Anthony.

I think this woman is making "something" out of "nothing."

[SamKnause]

13. Perhaps.

I was just pointing out that I had read and article and saw

many photos of the empty cheese sticks.

Have a great day and a safe and happy weekend.

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. You too!

4. I was wondering about that possibility.

Seems plausible. If my food isn't right, I take it back and ask for it to be corrected. I don't go home and take photos of it to push online.

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. The batter is super loose around them.

My son said they are basically the same as you get at Denny's, IHOP, etc.

[HuckleB]

14. They may all derive from the same provider.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

6. I used to have the same problem at Jack-in-the-Box.

Not often, but enough for me to be annoyed. I think the problem is in the deep frying process. Every one that I got without the cheese inside had the outer breading cracked -- my best guess is the cheese liquefied during the frying process and oozed out the crack.

7. Is that the "lite", reduced calorie version? (nt)

[Sunlei]

9. bet McDs uses their adulterated food law, or some other law to sue her into an apology

I avoid those 'fast food' places if I can help it.

11. I tried them last week, tiny and yeah very very little cheese...ripoff 2 for 2 LOL

[forgotmylogin]

15. They're being cooked too long.

The same thing happens in the oven to cheese sticks (or any cheese-stuffed meat such as cordon-bleu)...if the cheese boils, it erupts through the outside and runs out. They probably should only be in the fryer probably a minute or less, and can't be cooked ahead - they're a fast cook-to-order appetizer and a bad idea for McDonald's in the first place.

16. The ones in the photo were overcooked. My son brought some home. They were slightly above average.

Much cheaper than similar ones served in local bars.

[KittyWampus]

17. The reality is probably some people don't know how to cook them properly & over cook

Time in the micro varies according to wattage of machine.

When cheese gets too hot a lot of it evaporates leaving only the solids.

Think condensed milk but even more.

When I cook pork tenderloin for family, I put swiss cheese & mustard between two sides and tie it up.

After cooking, all that cheese has reduced way, way down to an intense bit of darkened, gooey on the inside/crispy on outside puddles.

18. I have. The cheese sticks are pretty much the same as Farm Rich sticks.

I would suspect they get them from the same supplier, in fact. As a product, if cooked correctly, they're not too bad. The marinara sauce is just like a standard Bertoli's in a jar. Better than Chef Boy-R-Dee, but not as good as Newman's.

However, due serving time constraints McDonalds has set to keep their line moving, the fry is never long enough and they end up being more like warm string cheese sticks coated in a slightly "crunchy" garlic tempura that is only a little bit hotter, instead of a ooey, gooey, cheesy mass surrounded by a crisp shell of garlicky goodness. Which is what Mozzarella sticks are supposed to be.

I suspect from the picture, the person was able to pull the stick out of the shell, and claimed that's what s/he was sold.
