Have to say it's good to see a frozen burger with 90% meat....xx

[@mbak7801]

This looks like MRM and the definition of meat is very broad. So it could be 90% hooves, or nostrils etc. Probably ok for nutrition, just do not think too much about it.

When I first worked in the Netherlands I was asked if I wanted a coffee and my colleague asked how I wanted it. "White please." I replied and he gave me a funny look. Nevertheless he grabbed the bottle of UHT milk and poured it in the coffee. My look on tastig it said it all and he said "That's why we have it black." Over the weeks and months I never had it white again and appreciate really dark, thick, black coffee now. Like the Dutch have it, thick enough to stand a spoon up in. I am a totally milk-free coffee drinker now.

Iceland's own 4 x Aberdeen Angus 1/4lb burgers are the best I've ever had from any supermarket. I last bought 2 x packs of them three weeks ago, and they were £3.50 instead of the normal £4. Strangely, their pack of two 1/2lb Aberdeen Angus burgers have always been £5, even though they weigh the same overall.

[@angleseyandy9110]

From memory beef content is higher than the 90% in the ones reviewed here too 👍

[@michaelfeeney8437]

Hi there, have you tried the Asda extra special ones ? 4, for £3.75 . Compare them with these Iceland ones.

[@angleseyandy9110]

@@michaelfeeney8437 they've got onion in them

[@GerryLewis-qb4pv]

I went to Lidl tonight. I actually bought 4 fresh burgers because I'm a Lidl card holder and get a discount. For supper I made a burger. And yes, I added cheese, pickles and some piri piri mayo. Scrumptious. Everyone's taste is different. So I'm not saying it's for you. Instead of the airfryer I cooked them in the pan with a tiny amount of lard. They were juicy and full of flavour. I'm not saying that the Iceland ones are better or worse than fresh. It's all up to the buyer. Iceland? No fat in the pan. Fresh Lidl? No fat in the pan either. Maybe it's psychological, but I prefer the fresh product over frozen.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@leonskum.5682]

I bought some of these and had one the other day. I didn't think they were anything special but was impressed with the size as I prefer a flatter burger and the flavour was good.. To be honest, I did them under a conventional grill and I think there are better ways to cook them. I'm going to pan fry the next one to see if I can get a bit of a crust on as that's what smashed burgers are supposed to be like.

[@GJBUNTON]

The best minced beef to use for burgers is 80/20 mince. Fortunately it is the cheapest mince you can buy at £2.49 a 500g pack. Just form it into patties and fry them. Much cheaper and no additives !!!!!!!

[@luisejohnston9592]

I agree.... it's so simple to make homemade burgers and much, much bettor tasting.... Also a great way to get kids involved in cooking....xx

[@EntertheDragon76]

100%. Can't beat well seasoned 80/20 smashed onto a hot griddle with good o'l American cheese or patties made using a tortilla press

[@andrewhayes7055]

You have to press them really hard with something heavy ie base of a saucepan on a really hot frying pan

[@tuffty203]

It's nice to see a burger keep it's shape and not shrink to the size of a tiddlywink. I have had these and loved them. Had some salad with mine and the same buns you had. Was amazingly good and tasty and a great texture. I'd give it a solid 9-10 for sure and would get them again for sure. Great video. Merry Christmas to you and your family and all your foodies.....

[@SuperLittleTyke]

I would suggest that the burger was a little overdone.

[@simonworthington3330]

Only finished a late breakfast but had a 1/2 pounder last night .Filling it was and messy and better use protection as a landslide down your front would be nice.

Glad you enjoyed them but a smash burger is much thinner and you would only need about 3 oz. They came about during the 1930's depression and you would add a lot of sliced onions with them to bulk the burger out. Great video

Why would anyone buy frozen smash burgers? Simply buy some 80/20 ground beef mince add salt and pepper,roll a good handful into a ball ,put in frying pan and flated. Done in less than 10 min

[@englishguineasjb]

Correct, the best way to make them.

[@bikkles6596]

absolutely

[@AlisonC-q3i]

@@calvinwilliams7541 Why ? Because these are frozen and can be cooked from frozen and bought in advance and kept in the freezer for whenever you want them but to make them fresh you'd have to either know you'd want them and buy the mince in advance or if you have frozen mince you have to wait for it to defrost but if you just want a spur of the moment burger these look perfect.

Love a burger 😊 i make my own sauce mayo, ketchup, mustard and finely chopped pickles. Lush 😊

[@Sanderly1820]

Ive had these and one thing imcan really say that you need to do with these, keep em out the airfryer and use a castiron pan, the whole smash thing is to achieve a really crispy exterior and moist interior which, cant be achieved in the airfryer. Don't use coconut oil or avocado oil nor olive oil use either dripping lard bacon grease or rapeseed , then you have a true smash burger

I always have a couple of packs of UHT milk to fall back on, for example over Christmas and New Year when the supermarkets are closed more often. I will take UHT milk in tea, and at a pinch on cereal, but it really is only for emergency use. Next week is going to be a bit of a challenge, as all supermarkets are closed on Christmas Day. But I'm sure we will get through it. Imagine what people in Ukraine are going through every day. We should be thankful that we can buy UHT milk.
