Remember when the drought make all the cattle herders slaughter their flock all at once? Thats why there is so much bulk frozen beef .

You have to heat them in a microwave? You can't do it in a conventional oven?

Never tried toaster or regular oven. I just drape a wet paper towel and microwave.

Today, but they are onsale every other month or so.

what's your opinion on frozen white castle burgers?

We have 'em at work, thawed in the machine, $1.75. Trick is to re-heat these at low power so the buns don't get mauled by the microwave.

Who has a microwave these days?

There's not a single sentence in the OP I agree with. Frozen? Microwave? Siracha? on a BURGER? What the fuck did your parents do to you?

Was going to say the same thing.

We don't even have one....ok fine, it's been in the basement for over 10 years.

It's 8 in a box. IMO they don't need anything, but it's not really hard to remove the bun if you want to.

They are pre-cooked, so you are really just re-heating them, so less bun sticking compared to something that is being completely cooked for the first time in the microwave.

I find they are best if you let them defrost for 5+ hours first instead of just heating directly from being completely frozen, as it works out if I bring one to work for lunch by lunch time it's defrosted just enough.

hmm...maybe we are talking about something different then? I'm positive that the Angus burgers i saw said there were 12 burgers.

serious? I thought everyone had them these days. pretty much a staple kitchen appliance.

 

[rsutoratosu]

I actually just saw one in my friends fridge... they loved it, im gonna give it a try one day

Separate patty from bun and cheese. Toss both (cheese on bun) in toaster.

Heat up pan, add a drizzle of olive oil in pan, throw patty in pan, add a bit of water, cover for a few minutes (steam to thaw) and then finish patty crush black pepper on it and then flipping the patty over for a few more minutes.

Put patty on bun, add lettuce, tomato and enjoy.

Pretty sad isn't it?

Yes there is TONS of people that love shitty tasting food that refuse to cook real food proper.

 

[spidey07]

They're pretty darn tasty with some extra slices of cheese. They turn out much better if you thaw them in the fridge a day or two before. The bun doesn't turn out hard this way and stays moist and soft.

huh? so you turn on the oven to reheat everything?

or frying pan, 5-10 min difference won't kill me and the difference in taste is worth the wait.

Problem with that is you're defeating the purpose of buying those costco precooked burgers. You buy those burgers for the convenience more than anything. Pop one in the microwave then eat. No washing dishes, prepping food, etc.

With your method, you might as well just buy fresh hamburger meat and make the burger from scratch.

I would have no problem with his method if he could replicate it using a microwave + toaster. Who the fuck has a grill/pan setup at work?

 

[Anonemous]

It's pretty convenient for a snack. Add a tomato slice + lettuce along with taters and it's a meal. If you really wanted you can heat it up in the microwave and finish with the toaster oven.

 

[alkemyst]

There precooked turkey and especially their chicken burgers are much healthier (and tastier in my opinion). Two on a single bun with lettuce and tomato is one of my post-workout meals.

 

[OBLAMA2009]

i dont eat red meat or recommend anyone else do so, but why would you buy a frozen burger at costco when you could get a fresh one from the value menu at any fast food joint
