Pan fry. 4-5 mins each side for best results on medium-high heat.

microwave

a bit of water in a frying pan, medium heat and a cover. it will defrost quickly and cook in about 8 min. or turn the bbq up to about med/ med hi and put the patty on the bun warmer tray at the top. it wont burn and will defrost quickly also, as long as you leave the lid on.

microwave is fastest but will taste the worst

pan is the next best option

yes, because the micro will make it rubbery and nasty tasting.

Would that cook a frozen burger through?

If they are 1/4 in' thick like they usually are. They cook really fast. You can add a little olive oil to brown them faster as olive oil heats up fast and at high temps.

Microwave is the fastest and it can still taste good (not rubbery) if you do it right....

Most microwaves have a DEFROST setting that makes it come out great. Just make sure you use it right as settings and instructions vary by model.

Mine you put in the weight and it auto calculates how long you need to defrost and when to flip it.

I'd microwave it a bit to thaw it out but then use a pan and fry t up like on the grill.

get an extension cord
Cut the cord
strip the wires
Attach 1 wire to each side of the burger
plug in the cord.

note: Don't do it. It's probably dangerous and it won't cook the meat evenly. But, It's very very very very very very very very very very very very fast.

An advantium oven. Uses both microwave and convection. Can cook a chicken in like 20 minutes.

Best invention ever.
