I did it today. Excellent result. Just a few tips. Burgers glue all together when it freezes, 1/2 minutes inside of the paper/box in the microwave, and then disassemble to keep working. The other thing, the buns in the oven get dry and lose their softness lets say. Still put them in the oven, but wrap then in aluminum. Also fries are best first heated in pan with cap on, so it defrost evenly, then cap of, is gonna lose a lot of salt with evaporation so put some. And the pattys dont heat up evenly if you put more than 1 in the microwave. The video and this tips put together, I just had my mc leftovers without even touching the phone or the street 🎉🍟

I mean... you kinda did the air fryer dirty 😭You left it in too long and didn't redo it to fix your mistake so this kinda wasn't fair since air frying left overs is probably the best method tbh

[sockmonkeying]

And I thought you just had to eat it all when you got it...

[DreamClean]

Never had leftover McD's in my 28 years of life.

Lesson of this story: EAT ALL OF YOUR FOOD WHEN FRESH, so you don't have leftovers...

[drewrayg]

Air fryer is the only way to eat fries. You had it on too high. You missed out. Air fryer is incredible.

[Feedaneeshaqua]

You’re supposed to only put the patty and the fries in the air fryer for about 2-3 minutes then microwave the bun

Not gonna lie. I’m the microwave type because i dont have the patience 😂

[gveneziano]

I get a medium fry... maybe a mcflurry how am I supposed to have leftovers?

[opossumsauce]

We don't have fast food where we live, so whenever our friends come in on the plane they pick up McDonald's for us, but by the time it gets here its cold and soggy, this is a LIFE SAVER 🥺💕

This video and BuzzFeed in general is a perfect portrayal of one trying to run away from their irrelevance.

I've always been using the pan technique for burgers and pizzas. You gotta try reheating a pizza in a pan. Somehow it tastes better than freshly cooked one 😅

[poorangus]

Put the whole burger in the microwave with a dish of water beside it. As it steams up, it prevents the bun from drying out.

My local McDonald’s messed up and gave me a giant order that wasn’t mine. I didn’t realize until after I got home. I ate one sandwich but left the other Big Mac and 20 pc nuggets and the 5 packs of fries in the fridge for later. I looked up this video just for their mistake, I’m wondering if it tastes as good after a several hours.

The most necessary video ever on Youtube!

[gamerbabexo]

I refuse to believe the microwave method deserves a 7 but this was a good vid

[GetIrked]

Loved the host, loved the style, loved the content… could have done without the canned crowd noises. 9.5/10 😉

[parisguenter]

I only found this video because I had some left over McDoubles and they tasted terrible in the microwave haha

[Numbaboxa]

When he sayed "gotta take a lap" i felt that.

[gracemaki]

Don't do that. McDonald's isn't for reheating
