[@kevinrichardson6347]

Love your reviews mate,you really make me laugh,lost my lovely dog two weeks ago and you are the first person to put a grin on my face in two weeks,keep it going.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thank you

A very happy man with his burger! There was almost a Nigella moment when I thought he wanted to be alone ! Great stuff Gareth👍

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha 😄

[@petemountford6931]

Fab video as usual bud. I keep looking at the Wagyu burgers and steaks but have avoided so far as I never understood what wagyu beef is!! Gonna give it a go, that burger looked spot on! Love your videos, keep posting them bud!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Pete

[@PrimalRampage74]

if you want the best burgers. Follow this recipe: Blend one large spanish onion. Add a flat tablespoon of black pepper, garlic powder, salt and a half teaspoon of mild paprika. blend to mix. Then add 500 grams of aberdeen angus mince and blend until it rolls around the blender like dough. take it out and shap into burgers and throw on the bbq or freeze and cook another time.

[@jay-po4mu]

Sounds like the one my man

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Nice one pal cheers

[@mikebader3863]

Next time you get them press them down into the pan to thin them out a little bit and do 5-6 mins each side just turning once like you would with a steak. That’s the method I use and they are pretty much unbeatable when it comes to supermarket burgers

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Yes I did say that in the video lol however I didn't 😂

[@KingpinOverlord]

You don’t turn a steak once. Where’d you hear that, Gordon Ramsey?

[@mikebader3863]

@@KingpinOverlord haha I find flipping a steak once and not messing with it then resting it properly is the route to the best final product.

[@KingpinOverlord]

@@mikebader3863 lol I flip a steak every 60 seconds until it’s cooked. Anyways, love a steak man. 😎

[@martinthornley1610]

Am with Mike on this one, flip once

[@chrisbreen6484]

To get the cheese to melt quicker you can add a splash of water into the pan then put the lid on, the water will steam and melt the cheese. Thanks for the video and have a good day mate.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Chris

[@lefty21150]

Its also good to keep the burger moist,a little squirt of water under cover or closh is a chef term😂

[@SuperLittleTyke]

My kitchen blowtorch would melt and brown that cheese instantly. It's one of the best kitchen tools I've purchased. I got it from Lidl during one of their special action weeks.

[@davidcooks5265]

Or you can stick under the grill for a few seconds 😀

[@peternelson6142]

Looks great Gareth. Loved the review! One thing I do with burgers before cooking is to press a sort of dimple in the middle. Definitely helps to keep their shape. I actually like my burgers a bit pinkish in the middle. My wife has to take mine out of pan or off the griddle a few minutes early.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Peter

[@richard-gn3es]

Not a bad idea. I just put a little bit of weight on them and crank the heat up to crust them nice and even

[@Feeeeerg]

Not the same ones, but the Angus burgers you can get from Aldi are fantastic.

[@peternelson6142]

Yes, I agree

[@lukefitz]

Another brilliant video! Will have to try the. Youu really need to try Webbers food van behind the escape hotel. Full breakfast burritos are amazing and the the burgers topped with beef brisket are something special 😊

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Like, hope you're well pal 👍 yes need to pal, few people have mentioned it. Sounds delicious 😋

[@janettebarr6538]

I put square sausage or thick burgers in between cling film and roll them with the rolling pin it helps make them fit the roll plus cooks really quickly

[@andycollins1601]

To stop burgers shrinking, press your thumb into the middle of the burger to create a little sort of well - that stops them from shrinking every time

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers for the tips

[@nsean479]

Try them with the ( Bramwells ) Skeeters smokey chipotle bbq sauce. Picked up a bottle yesterday first time seeing it makes a great bacon sandwich so should be great on a burger :)

[@EmsM4]

Looks gorg! But, did your face get quite red towards the end or is it just my tv?

[@derekdoig9112]

Great video, going to have to try these burgers. How about a Coronation chicken sandwich filler comparison from some supermarkets, seeing as the Coronation is coming up soon?

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers pal for the suggestion 👍

[@absolutelyamanda2942]

Recommended that you try 4 Pork, maple &bacon hot dogs from the finest range at Tesco's. We've just had them for tea

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Oh yes please. Will have a look tomorrow thank you 😊

[@andreamacgillivray3653]

These look yummy. Lidle do some too. They come as 4 in the packet. Forget the price though!

[@MuddyDuck...]

You had me drooling for a good burger - so have added them to my shopping list for this afternoon. Just hope your posting hasn't wiped out stock in my local Aldi...😂

[@joebloggs8440]

Look great, did it mention the wagyu content on the pack or did I miss that bit? Been watching since you started the channel! Have you managed to find a new job since starting the channel as a hobby or still searching

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers pal thank you for watching.

[@Johna130]

Those burgers looked good Gaz. interestingly I've noticed it mentioned a few times on KZbin channels how burgers and sausages etc shrink when cooked is perfectly fine as all meat protein does reduce in size as heat is applied if they where to come out considerably larger after cooking its a dead give away there is little protein in the mix but in fact cheaper ingredients like biscuit meal and others to pack out.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers John

[@johndavis7944]

Unfortunately the consumer isn't told that. We just pay for it instead!

[@jimflynn5105]

We’ve been getting these for a year or two now. Really good burgers.

[@catsmurthwaite3282]

Actually looked like the serving suggestion. Well done Gareth lol. Love the vids mate keep it up.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Cat

[@bblair2627]

The Batts brown sauce is fantastic!

[@unysis212]

Good solid review Gaz - i'll be trying these. Bacon does sounds tempting but how much is too much? Fried egg too? Great cooking skills by the way 😀

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thank you Howard

[@catherinegallagher1101]

I have been getting my red sauce and other kinds from B&M here in Scotland and the brand name is (skinny ) it’s lovely very little calories or sugars it’s great for when dieting as ketchup has a lot of sugars and my partner is diabetic andvgets to enjoy having red sauce now and no need to worry about fats or calories or sugars .

[@garethwilliams3602]

The rehydrated potato is to add weight. The rice flour is used as a binder. The cost per kilo is £10.26.....I feel as this is important as in the uk pure wagyu mince is about £15 a kilo. Wagyu has a lot of fat in it which is why when making a burger a lot of that fat comes out as oil. If you have a sous vide I would cook them like that and create a crust with a blow torch to contain as much fat as possible. However anyone cooking these at home in a frying pan don't add oil to the pan, they have enough fat in them already. Its better to let these cook in their own oil for flavour as various cooking oils alter taste. I wouldn't flatten them either, wagyu has a distinct taste due to the fat. The more fat you lose the more flavour you lose also. Smash burgers is great for cheaper cuts of beef that rely on the other ingredients more than the actual meat itself.

[@richardneale246]

Great review Gareth, thanks mate. I will try them in the air fryer sometime very soon. See ya later mate. Streaky Bacon ????

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Richard that's it. 👍

[@nicolavallely8076]

Hi Gareth,the bacon you were thinking of is streaky. Thank you for the video. I do the same with a veggie burger xx

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Nicola xx

[@whippy89]

Best burgers Aldi do are "The Ultimate Burgers" in similar packaging to these, made with Beef and Bone Marrow, they're absolutely delicious on the BBQ! I've tried many burgers and Aldi's Ultimate ones are definitely my go to, highly recommended!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers pal, will look out for them.

[@bobmoorcroft8447]

We loved the Ultimate Brisket Burgers but unfortunately haven't been able to get them for the last few months. We find that this seems to happen with quite a few things at Aldi.

[@DemonEdge82]

I agree, here in Detroit I get these steakhouse seasoned pub patties and they’re truly great.

[@robertjc4195]

Another cracking video mate just catching up can’t beat a good burger I had a chicken Big Mac meal for lunch then later a steakhouse 😂can’t beat a good burger spot on mate 😊👍

Hi Gaz👍grand job with that burger mate it looked cracking, I thought you'd already done these but I'm obviously mistaken. Nice one ✌️🍻

Cheers Martin

[@ianwhunter1]

I can share a tip for the cheese for your burger. I get a takeaway from time to time and the shop I use melt the cheese in a plastic measuring jug in the microwave before pouring it onto the burger and onions. Works a treat as the cheese then begins to set as it cools.

[@chrismot]

Eyup Gaz, told ya many moons ago when ya got the frozen ones, bin em. So glad ya finally got the fresh wagyu, worth every penny I'm sure you'll agree. Great review buddy 👊🏻

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Chris

[@paul67]

Will be giving these a try. Maybe a couple of battered onion rings and thin sliced gherkins on top with a slice of streaky bacon.....Fries and coleslaw on the side. Mmmmm.

[@peterbarnes9234]

Hi I know you've done the aldi 75p pepperoni pizza I just wondered if you you've tried the asda just essentials 75p pepperoni pizza I'd recommend it to you

[@scotthaynes3187]

Drop a slash of water in the pan when melting cheese then cover melts lovely

[@tuffty203]

Instead of the tommy sauce and Frenchies try Burger Rellish. They are even better. Had them before and would have them again. Another great video. Cheers.

Cheers yes will have to get some.

Had these last year when they were £1 cheaper & loved them!👍💕

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

So good arnt they

[@malcbury9739]

Gonna have to try these later in the week. You obviously really enjoyed those. As others have suggested on here, The Ultimate Burger with Beef and Bone Marrow are very juicy and tasty too. Might be worth you giving those a review in the near future. Similar packaging, and are stacked next to these in my local Aldi 👍

[@user-sightsabouttown]

New to your channel. Love your down to earth reviews. I cook these for my 2 teenage sons. They absolutely love them. The frozen triple cooked beef dripping chips are a great accompaniment to the burgers. As for the bacon, the medallions fit perfectly within the bun. Tip top👍

That burger looked delicious gareth! @ £1.75 a burger compared to the one that you had from bk a few weeks ago....i reckon there's no contest! I will be buying some of those this week...😁👍🏻

[@billmagowan1492]

Nice-looking burger mate, and a lovely healthy garnish, tho Id’ve put the tom slices underneath the patty to prevent slippage, and chilli sauce in place of tomato, but your choice !a nice bit of sauerkraut with some bacon topping would be a meal in itself, but only one burger or I’d be a real fat bar steward!😂

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Bill yummy 😊

[@stephenwood8745]

Wagyu beef does tend to fall apart I've found in the past. I've got a cast iron griddle plate that fits across two of my gas hob burners and I cook them things on there, rather in in oil. I think the word you are looking for is 'streaky' Gaz!!! Looks great, gonna try some of them!!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

That's it cheers

[@CravingBeer]

These are produced by Dovecote Park, who mainly supply Waitrose.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers pal, yes someone who works for Waitrose said that. Cheers pal 👍

[@BrutalCarnage]

if u drop some water in the pan and cover it instantly, it will react with the oil creating steam and melt the cheese 10x faster

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers

[@paulhowe8420]

You may not remember, but I told you about these when you tried those frozen ones from Iceland. I have them once a month they are really nice as you found out. It made me smile when I came in from work and see you brandishing a pack of them😊

Hi , rehydrated potato makes it gluten free, Amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Ah right thank you for the information

[@michaelrobert503]

Looks great, Sadly No Aldi near me, only Lidl.

[@plusthebadger]

Hmmm thats a good idea. I think maybe they'v added smash (other brands avail) but by adding powdered spuds to the recipe when it cooks the smash soaks up all the goodness rather than it flowing out. so the spud becomes re hydrated through out the cooking proccess

[@mancunianinlondon]

Hey Gareth I have two in my freezer and will woof them down at weekend. Also, just so you know, they have NEW wagyu steaks in Aldi! Fillet AND sirloin. I also have those in my fridge, not cooked them yet

[@robambrose4199]

To help melt the cheese, add a tiny bit of water to get some steam under the lid.

[@northbankgooner6126]

Looks like thats a proper burger, maybe one to keep in when you fancy a takeaway burger and want to have something a bit more healthy. As others have said, I would probably cut that pattie in two and have it much flatter, smashing the burger in the pan with something flat so it has a crust on the outside. Will cook quicker that way too. Either way its good value, compared with other supermarkets and takeaways.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers

[@user-oy2ig2jf5u]

If you can get streaky bacon, that always tastes good with the rind on it...I love maple bacon...I have a jar of maple syrup which I drizzle on the bacon. Also, maybe make another burger next time with an egg, some beetroot, lettuce and the streaky bacon and caramelised onions ..the lot😋
