We learned that the hamburgers need only be cryofryed for about 15 seconds and then deep fried for a minute and a half at 350 F. We used organic cold pressed high oleic sunflower oil for deep frying and it worked wonderfully. The first burgers we cryofried for a minute and they ended up being cold inside even after deep frying to golden brown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4769.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1960]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_4769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4769-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4834.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1960]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_4834\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4834-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4818.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1960]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_4818\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4818-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Look of satisfaction \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4830.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1960]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1989\" alt=\"IMG_4830\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4830-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4830-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4830.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4829.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1960]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1990\" alt=\"IMG_4829\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4829-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4829-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4829.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Which of course turned into &#8220;I wonder how . . . would taste&#8221;, turns out that not much could be done to improve hot dogs:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4835.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1960]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_4835\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sector67.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_4835-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The cr\u00e8me anglaise was amazing when served over carbonated blueberries, and covered with fresh real whip cream made with a nitrogen charged siphon.
