Beyond Meat/Impossible Burger were disgusting to me (compared to regular beef), and they were dyed bright red and stayed bright red when they were cooked which is weird and not like meat.
Where did you have this burger? My experience with Impossible Burgers (at The Counter) is not at all like this. They were a pretty good facsimile of meat. I’d go so far as to say they changed my opinion on meat substitutes.
Previously, I was in the same camp as all those here saying they prefer delicious food that doesn’t pretend to be meat - but I think I’d choose an Impossible Burger over that now if I was in the mood for a burger.
- p1necone 7y agoHmm, based on some of the other comments it is possible I've only tried Beyond Meat and not the Impossible Burger - I'll have to seek it out and see.
- runako 7y agoI've cooked the Beyond Meat beef substitute a few times, and it has never stayed red for me either. (That would be a deal-killer for me.) Perhaps you got a beta version, or some of a bad batch, of the Beyond Meat?
- jhloa2 7y agoI cooked up some beyond patties from the grocery store and they stayed red for me. I did attempt to cook them the same as I would a meat patty though. Seems like there's a technique to cooking them well
- cull 7y agoI’ve only ever cooked the store bought beyond burgers and prefer grilling them. minor adjustments in cooking technique can produce both red-in-the-middle and well done versions. I don’t care for the pan fryed version as it crusts and sometimes burns a little if left on one side too long.
- danShumway 7y agoThe way they're cooked matters a lot, at least for the Impossible Burger. A well prepared veggie burger is a very different experience from one that's just been thrown on a grill and taken off when it's hot. I've noticed some huge gaps in quality at different restaurants. Also will add my vote that Impossible is doing a way better job imitating meat than Beyond is, just in general.
