McDonald’s Big Mac has to be one of the most iconic fast food items in the world. It owns its legendary status to its innovative combination of two patties and the fact that it is incredibly delicious. But did you ever wonder how McDonald’s actually makes Big Mac? For those that have, one TikToker decided to uncover this mystery.

TikTok user @essentialmcdonalds recently shared a video where he details everything that goes into assembling a Big Mac. The first step is toasting the buns. Then, each of the three buns goes into a separate toaster and goes through an individual toasting process.

Next, the famous Big Mac sauce gets “shot” on the bottom and the middle bun, followed by a sprinkle of dehydrated onions. Lettuce goes on top of each of these two buns, after which the middle bun gets two pickles, and the bottom bun gets a slice of American cheese.

Finally, the middle and the bottom bun get a patty each before being stacked onto each other and finished off with a top bun. Check out the full video below.
