Have been watching your episode on portion sizes. In this episode, you highlight the fact that many fast food portions do not weigh what they proport to. For example, a 12 ounces fry from Shake Shack doesn't weigh 12 ounces. That's because the restaurant is measuring out your food portion by volume and not weight. This is a quicker, easier, but less accurate way to measure. So, when they put your fries in a 12 ounce container, it fills up 12 ounces of space, but doesn't weigh 12 ounces because it doesn't account for the air between the fries. If they packed 12 ounces of fries by weight into a 12 ounce container, your fries would be squished. Thanks for considering my comment. Sue in Ohio. Retired health psychology educator.

I think its important to note that how a burger patty is cooking can effect weight. As an overcooked patty is dry...looses more water and thusly shrinks.

Density does not affect volume. But they may be counting the EMPTY volume of the container for their declaration.

The editing team sneaking in the 666g when Joe was weighing the crunchwrap supreme was elite

INGREDIENTS

1 pkg pizza dough (Tiseo, Delallo, Trader Joe’s, any kind you like)
8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
6 oz. grated romano cheese
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, grated

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

If you’re using frozen dough, let it thaw and rise a little.  If you’re making Delallo or any other store-bought dough, let it rise a bit before using.

Add the olive oil to a casserole dish to grease it and then add your dough to the dish. And spread out evenly as best you can to make sure it’s taking up the whole dish (the olive oil with make this a little tricky, but take your time).

With the tips of your fingers, gently press down (like you’re typing) on top of the dough, just enough to make cute little divots into the dough.

Melt the 2 Tbsp butter and the grated garlic in a small dish, then brush evenly on top of the dough.

Top with Mozzarella, all the way to the edges of the dish, evenly.  Then do the same with the Romano cheese.

Bake for 30 minutes and then check to make sure it’s golden brown.  

Turn the oven on broil and broil for ONE MINUTE - no more than one minute or you’ll burn your cheese and cry into a casserole dish, wondering what might have been.

Once the minute of broiling is done, it will be golden brown with a few bubbles on top.

Please dip into marinara or, even better, ranch dressing to enjoy.

Tell me how it went

[aldocamilleri]

In the taco bell one if you pause at 2:51 at the right second it is actually 666 grams so in a way, Joe you win! 🎉
