**Title:** Recreating White Castle Sliders from Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle
**Summary:**
* YouTuber Babish recreates the iconic White Castle sliders from the movie Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle.
* He meticulously follows White Castle's unique cooking method, using:
+ Custom-made patties with 5 holes each
+ A bed of onions for cooking (no direct grill contact)
+ Steam to cook the patties
+ Potato-based buns (approximated with Martin's Dinner Rolls)
* The final product is compared to the original, with the main difference being the use of a potato roll.
* Two alternative versions are also showcased:
1. A simplified, smaller-scale recipe for a more reasonable serving size (cooked on a cast-iron pan).
2. A "Babish" version with smashed burgers, homemade ground beef, cheddar cheese crisps, and toasted buns.
**Additional Note:** The video announcement also promotes Babish's upcoming companion cookbook, available for pre-order.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text, each with a number and in short sentence form, excluding opinions:
**Order and Ingredients**
1. Harold ordered 30 sliders, 5 French fries, and 4 large Cherry Cokes.
2. Kumar ordered the same as Harold, except with Diet Cokes.
3. The sliders are made with ground beef, onions, American cheese, and dill pickle chips.
4. The buns used are Martin's Dinner Rolls (initially) and later potato rolls for a more accurate White Castle experience.
**White Castle Burger Preparation**
5. White Castle burgers have 5 holes punched in the patty.
6. According to White Castle, the holes help the patties cook quicker and absorb more onion vapors.
7. The burgers are cooked on a bed of onions, not directly on the grill.
8. Onions are cooked with a squirt of water to prevent browning and produce steam.
9. Patties are stacked on the onions with the bottom bun on the patty and the top bun on the bottom bun to trap steam.
**Replication Process by Babish**
10. Babish used approximately 8 ounces of ground beef to form a rectangle for cutting into patties.
11. Each patty is about 1 ounce, accounting for 25% weight loss during cooking.
12. A metal straw is used to punch holes into the patties.
13. The patties are frozen to firm up before cooking.
14. Babish cooked the onions for 2-3 minutes until they were translucent.
15. Kosher salt is lightly applied to the patties due to the saltiness of American cheese.
**Alternative Preparation Methods**
16. For a smaller batch, the procedure remains similar but uses a cast-iron pan for cooking.
17. A "Babish" version involves grinding own beef using chuck and short rib with a high fat content.
18. The ground beef is pulsed in a food processor to a pebbly consistency.
19. The beef is then formed into 1-inch meatballs for making smash burgers.
20. Onions are sautéed until soft with a bit of color for the smash burgers.
**Miscellaneous**
21. The video features a collaboration with Jamie Wax for the smaller batch cooking.
22. Alvin Cailan's method is referenced for making cheddar cheese crisps.
23. Babish has announced a companion cookbook for "Binging with Babish" featuring the first 100 recipes.
