A Return to Ed's Easy Microwave Diner | Ashens

Patreon! It Exists! / ashens
Ed's Easy Diner returns via Iceland! Sort of! I actually bought a load of them that I kept in the freezer! Exclamation mark!
This time it's a breakfast muffin, a double cheese burger, and a spicy chicken burger. Quality varies, as they tend to for microwave burgers...

As a cook in an "All-American" diner, I can confirm we do not *serve* gray slabs of meat. We *heat* gray slabs of meat until they are brown slabs of meat and serve those.

[@IanSlothieRolfe]

I've been to several of the southern states in the US and visited many a diner, and found the quality there to be really good. I've also visited American style diners here in the UK and they have been pretty good from the food quality point of view, but generally pricey, I suppose you're paying for the "experience". I've eaten a number of microwave burgers and decided that I would rather avoid them in future.

He likes the BBQ rib one from that one brand.

[@barbarosbozkurt758]

For some reason I am awake and it is 4.12 AM at the moment Perfect time to watch Ashens

[@diegoproductions7926]

I’m really enjoying Ashens’s new microwave burger adventures

[@artamussumatra6286]

A slice of cheese, a few pickled Jalapeño slices and some yellow mustard would no doubt do wonders for the muffin thingy….😉

[@TheFlyingGerbil]

Video idea: a taste test to see if you can tell the difference between the frozen Iceland greggs items and the same one bought from an actual greggs shop.

[@zacharytribou2728]

did i just do a 3 hour test that I ACTUALLY STUDIED FOR, did it in 1 hour and a few minutes, and decompress by watching a man with a gross old couch from my childhood, review gross food, ABSOLUTELY

[@ikitclaw3299]

It's 5.37am and I'm starving watching this thanks bro

[@benjokazzooie]

“Turns out I knew.” Sublime!

[@TheGreatestPlayerInTheWorld]

2.40 am must be time for Ashens video 😂

[@xyanide1986]

Next episode: "The Revenge of Ed's Easy Microwave Diner"

[@GlazeonthewickeR]

Microwaved burgers and sandwich videos are the best Ashens videos.

[@robread-jones3698]

12:00 "Mmm...Look at that, you could use that as an advert...for plates!" 🤣

[@paulswann9555]

Please do the ED's deserts it's only right as after eating all of those you need a sweet

[@jansenart0]

Iceland: the store, not the country.

[@villeinonen]

Got so confused for a second there

[@syxepop]

The CHAIN of stores, like in POUNDLAND (another Stuart favorite). Maybe someone should alert Larry Wolfe (The Wolfe Pit on YT) as he may like the place like he does Dollar Tree in The States.

[@toamastar]

well this is very timely, ive been watching your stuff for a few hours, i then eat a rustlers burger and suddenly... this video releases!

[@31jeffburton]

Ever since watching this video and learning to toast the bun and not microwave the whole thing my life has completely changed. 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧

[@drxym]

I once tried to replicate a sausage mcmuffin which was amazingly easy - pork mince and some spices is the patty and everything else is straight forward - muffin, fried egg, cheese slice. When I made it I even cooked & froze a bunch of patties because you could make about 6 with a 400g portion of pork mince. What surprised me on my trips to the US, is that "breakfast sausage" is sold this way because people are so frigging lazy.

[@CaptchaNeon]

Not lazy. Americans don’t have time to mess around making homemade sausage patties. Morning is a huge rush for most Americans and they’re lucky to get through a drive thru for coffee before being whisked off to their shite jobs.

[@flashbackfrank8781]

"You wouldn't find gray slabs of meat in an American diner". Literally played this video at full blast at a waffle house once because I ordered a steak and they gave me a gray slab of compressed wet sock.

[@brownhues]

Your first problem was ordering a steak at the WaHo. Stick to Bacon Egg & Cheese sammitches and hash browns scattered, smothered, and covered.

[@AsymptoteInverse]

I've only had a Waffle House steak once, and I find it difficult to describe the texture and flavor. The texture and flavor were definitely *not* steak.

[@glitchedoom]

@@brownhues Their second problem was deciding to eat at a Waffle House.

[@awkhaniq]

I do not know why I am watching this but thank you for your calming voice ashens

[@westabsupplyebay4093]

"weird slabs of grey meat in America" Conagra has listened to that call, them and Sizzler's etc.

[@ChristmasCrustacean1]

"it wont make you retch" - Ashens probably

[@ArmandoDy]

Ah finally a great eating video on KZbin for today. God Bless You Stuart, You Are A God Amongst Men.

[@theprincipalofficer4273]

Or this is the fastest way to meat him.

[@placeholdername3206]

I just ate one of these microwave burgers and instantly thought of ashens. They all taste the same more or less, just super salty to hide the fact that the meat don't taste like anything

[@dargondarkfire]

I suddenly remember these toaster bags that i saw on tv years ago, they started as being used for grilled cheese in your toaster, then they evolved them for other things such as steak and frozen veggies.

[@k.b.5275]

Ashes: "You wouldn't see slabs of grey meat in an American diner." Denny's: 👀

[@Deceptiwolf]

That double cheese burger looks exactly like the ones they served in my high school.

[@jgh548]

Mine too. I reckon they must have been harmful, given how they looked. That might explain why I now have to live as a ruminant.

[@Ass_Burgers_Syndrome]

Who doesn't love a huge mouthful of muffin? I know I do.

[@JardiHardi]

Yes, I love these videos so much

[@antz8810]

Nearly half 2 in the morning I'm starving now

[@RIXRADvidz]

a popsicle or peanutbutter will put you backto sleep

[@tonybeattie3980]

Well if this is anything like last time… Good luck Stu (even thought you’ve already recorded, edited and uploaded this and can’t hear me, but hey isn’t that true of every video?)

[@capness1228]

It certainly would be a feat if you watched a video that hadn't been uploaded, edited, or even recorded, and I would ask you for tomorrows lottery numbers, time wizard.

[@empath69]

I forsee Ashens 'getting big and popular' to have a staff, and they'll inevitably edit and 'publish' his *last video*, likely found on a camera SIM card next to his corpse...

[@tonybeattie3980]

@@empath69 Honestly if it wound up going full “Old Ashens weird” like that, that would be pretty cool. Maybe it could then “loop back” to the first video and create a never ending cycle like that idea people have had for the Simpsons finale.

[@ninjapwnsatlyfe]

I'd like to think that as much as it's a widely used trick, Ashens is the reason these companies have added the toasting recommendation.

[@spurs_18_forever55]

Ahh that intro will never get old love that your still reviewing tat on your brown sofa after all this time stuart. 👍

[@LORDdrPepper]

I did used to live on these while I was lazy and broke but seriously, it takes absolutely no effort or money to, let's say, scramble some eggs or throw a couple sausages in the oven, and boom, you got a nice tasty meal with little to no more amount of effort and I guarantee it's more real and delicious than these radioactive waste burgers. Slap that between 2 slices of bread, and you get a better sandwich, all for the same price or sometimes even cheaper, I honestly feel sorry for the animal that was killed for this

[@WereCreed]

Bold of you to assume any animal died for these things.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

But how well does that last if you keep it in tupperware for half the day and microwave it for dinner because that's all the office kitchen has

[@TheReesterBunny]

This is 100% something you don't buy as 'food'. It's something you find over-priced in a vending machine while you're at work.

[@NukeZoned]

always love to see a new ashens video 😊

[@GreigerBDragon]

I actually really like these videos, I used to work at a place with no refrigerator (that employees could use) and nothing but a portable microwave and a corner store with stuff like this sold half off for us as the only realistic lunch options. I ended up getting a taste for a lot of them, and believe it or not sometimes get odd little cravings for these crapply little microwave meals. It's nice to know what to actually expect in these things, and see what they actually look like, and your opinion on them. Even when they are all bad the scales of how bad they are is still helpful! Would love a series on ones from the states if you can get ahold of them over there with them still in date, we certainly have plenty of varieties over here.
