Q&A for How to Make a Krabby Patty

The secret formula, never revealed in the series, was revealed by Nickelodeon as a pinch of King Neptune's Poisedon Powder.

The instructions show two patties being made from the ingredients listed, but you could just make one large patty if you'd prefer.

As long as the meat is minced, you can use any meat instead of beef. Chicken mince might make the patty a bit more dry, as beef has fat marbled throughout, and chicken is very lean.

There are a few stores around the coast with that name but they were not made before the show.

The tablespoon of sugar is added to all of the other ingredients that go into the patty (with the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, other seasonings, etc.). It's probably not entirely necessary if you'd prefer to leave it out.

Yes, ground pork can be used as a substitute for ground beef. It may change the taste and texture, but it will still work fine.

Including all of the prep, making one krabby patty probably takes between 10-15 minutes. (If you're using hamburger, then it also depends on how well done you like your patties to be.)

Yes, it is.

The Krabby patty is based on the Nickelodeon show "Spongebob Squarepants" and Krabby is one of the characters on this show.

You can, it's just that imitation crab meat is usually cheaper. Sometimes tinned crab meat still includes pieces of the shell, so be careful.
