Frozen patties are cheap and pretty tasty, yes. But I prefer making them myself with ground beef and spices and grilling them to my taste (medium) on my Adolf grill. Then I lightly toast my burger buns (also not frozen) for a minute, also on the grill. Shortly before removing the patties from the grill, I place some Brie on the pattie, so it melts (also not frozen). I also add some onions, cucumber, a leaf of iceberg salat and maybe, if I want to completely pig out, also bacon. None of it frozen. As sauces I add ketchup and mustard or BBQ-sauce and mustard and/or mayo.
This is so much better than a pre-frozen burger meal…
see that sounds to me like you’re comparing to shitty pre-packaged whole burgers, not just frozen patties.
When using frozen patties the rest of the process is all basically the same as with fresh patties, which is precisely the point. You can just chuck a stack of patties in the freezer and pull them out whenever you want to make some burgers.
just because one thing is frozen doesn’t mean everything is lmao, that’s a weird strawman. It’s not all or nothing, you can freeze just the bits where it works well and provides benefits.
Though whole frozen meals are perfectly fine too, because they pick dishes where it actually works. You can totally live off of nothing but frozen meals (the stuff you’d call TV-dinner in the US for some god forsaken reason) and probably have a significantly healthier diet than a lot of people.
If you eat your burgers well done anyway, you are absolutely right. You are not supposed to do pre-frozen meat medium however. I have no idea if that is valid, but I always have my frozen meat well done. Also, prefrozen patties are relatively thin and tend to get even drier even more quickly. I want to decide the thickness and ingredients of my burgers myself. I even have a contraption for that:
Burgerpresse
huh? frozen patties are very normal here, pretty cheap and of course very easy to cook, and tastes great.
