I've noticed that the quality of Iceland's food has gone down and the price has gone up. I noticed some of their meat based products have a strong "processed" flavour to them.

[@KimmyWood]

Definitely true

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

@@KimmyWood yea iceland stuff uses mechanically separated meat , if the meat looks gooey or finely ground , its bone scrapes , thus the grizzle , even in the 90s i hated my mum buying iceland meat , sausages burgers pies , all had grizzle in them, absolute trash

[@helenHTID]

Remind me when Iceland had quality food? 😂 I'm not say it's bad, But all their meats have always been cheaply processed. The prices have gone up though, Like everywhere and everything.. And still rising.

[@StevenSmethurst]

Tbf iceland quality was never the best but it as certainly gone down alongside prices going up. No wonder iceland is struggling and closing stores. Compared to other budget stores like aldi. They are just not up to standard anymore.

[@midnightmosesuk]

Well, I realize that it's never been the best quality but, even though it hardly seems possible, I really do think the food has gotten worse.

Not if you're too bone idle to cook, it isn't. Every day I see neighbouring families, bitterly complaining about the cost of living.

If you're at all worried by cooking smells in house then cook outdoors. It's a good backup to own camping cooking system in case of gas/electric outages, which you can use at home for outdoors cooking.

[@calibrax]

"Quarterpounder" has always referred to the uncooked weight. After cooking, any quarterpounder will have lost quite a bit of weight because the meat of a burger always contains quite a lot of fat.

[@SpeccyMan]

Mass, not weight. 😉

[@norfolkreefer5801]

Usually 20-25% I’m no mathematician but seems about right to me!

[@calibrax]

@@SpeccyMan Food is referred to using the term "net weight", which happens to be the same as mass while we are on Earth. But this isn't a physics class, so I used the term weight as that is what people use when talking about food.

[@PaoloBanke]

Its the same with a bit of lamb it weighs a couple of pound at the butchers but once roasted its half that. Had a wool jumper like that too it was half size after washing, I reckon it came off the same sheep.

[@PaoloBanke]

@@calibrax now there is an irony as net its also what is left after all deductions, so maybe the burger should be sold cooked after these deductions, the fat taken away etc. Or label as gross which would be appropriate with some burgers.

[@fwlp11]

I’ve said before and I’ll say again. I’ll tip my hat to you for eating things we’re all learnt not to touch…. As others have said, make a video of you making a home made burger and compare weights and costs while your doing it. Cheaper and better . 👍🏻

[@melbeasley9762]

Buy a Kilo it's cheaper and put the rest in the freezer.

[@SandraDent-lf4xy]

I think icelands to expensive now. It's shocking the amount of weight after cooking. When I make a burger I do it the same as you and half the time it falls to bits. I noticed on the front of the box they put the salad stuff on the bottom. I'm going to try that next time. Good review Gareth

[@davidmacgregor5193]

I agree with you, Iceland is now too expensive for me as I'm living off the state pension. I now mostly shop for food at Poundland and Heron Foods, their prices have obviously risen over the past months, but no where near as the price rises at Iceland.

[@GeekfromYorkshire]

I used to do my main shopping at Iceland but they put up their prices way higher than anyone else. I mainly use Farmfoods and wait til I need enough to get to £25 to then use a £2 voucher. For non-frozen non-fresh stuff B&M Bargains is usually good prices.

[@SandraDent-lf4xy]

Hi David I'm on the pension as well so I try to save where I can. I used to go in Lidl but there prices have shot up, about 10 of the items I used to buy have gone up fifty pence each. I went round Tesco the other day and just got the basics as i had quite a bit stuff in the house and it came to forty pounds, there was nothing there. I don't know how you are expected to live. If you are on the new pension you can't claim anything

[@GeekfromYorkshire]

@@SandraDent-lf4xy I know food inflation is higher than pension increase so there's a squeeze. However, during the covid lockdown I did the shopping for those older than me, I was shielding them. I took multiple pensioners shopping lists and bought in different shops. What I did was bulk purchase and get the different offers in each shop. Somethings cheaper in Tesco, other in Iceland, other in Farmfoods, etc. I then split up the bulk purchases (BOGO, 3 for price of 2, discount for 2, etc) and told each pensioner their amount owed. I was told I was lowering their food bills because I'd moved them from buying for 1 or 2 to buying for more. My lesson learned was to keep doing that and bulk purchase. I'd get together with others nearby and take turns at shopping and you individually buy less variety but in greater quantity, and divvie up. That lowers food costs probably around 20%-30%. Next is you take turns at cooking and cook in bulk and take turns visiting each other's house for dinner. That lowers energy costs of cooking. In winter you also heat fewer rooms as you sit together. So don't shop for 1, don't cook for 1, and don't spend time alone. Yes I know not everyone can do that, and those with weaker immune systems arguably should not do it, but those who can should. BTW Tesco is more expensive in general, I tend to only get their clubcard offers but there aren't many which are cheaper than others so my Tesco shopping is smallest. If someone cannot do that shopping method of many different shopping trips each leaving with bulk purchase offers method and you only wanted to do one weekly shop in one place, it would have to be Aldi, on average lowest prices. Personally I hate Aldi as I do a daily smaller shop on a bike and Aldi's checkout queues are horrendously long, suits a weekly big car shop type.

[@SandraDent-lf4xy]

Hi Nigel you are right in what you say, I usually buy offers to save money and I bulk bake and freeze meals. Unfortunately I haven't got the time to go round different shops as I am my husband's carer and i don't like to leave him too long and I'm not in the best of health myself. It was a lovely thing you did during covid. It's very rare i go to Aldi as it's farthest away from me and as i said about Lidl prices going up, Aldi is more or less the same.

[@norfolkreefer5801]

What bugs me is all the normal burger buns in supermarkets are way to big for any burgers they sell,and the brioche ones are the right size,if anyone knows why…..or where to get a burger big enough after cooking it I’d love to know🤣

I usually buy Iceland 100% beef quaterpounders at 3 packs for £10. So 83p each. The Aberdeen Angus burgers are 2 packs for £10. So £1.25 each. So they are 50% more expensive. 🤔

[@arthurdanielles4784]

Cmon!! These FROZEN products rarely contain less than a substantial amount of WATER. That is what bumps up the weight. I've never known (even our home made burgers) NOT to shrink in cooking. However bought ones can be some of the worst. If we buy we tend to like the Morrisons Aberdeen FRESH usually pack of 4, burgers. Aldi do them as well (fresh AND frozen). Good vid as always Gaz ! 👍

[@gavrfc09]

Another cracking and honest video gaz. Nothing worse than grizzle in any meat to put you right off, but youd expect better from TGI. They seem to be going downhill according to their restaurant reviews. Makes me wonder why theyve resorted to freezing their products and selling them in supermarkets… anyways, a wee rating in the food you review out of 10 at the end of the video would be awesome! 😁

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

[@patagualianmostly7437]

They have fallen into the trap that their brand name will guarantee them success..... "TGI"..... Nah.Their restaurants are going south...now they are grasping at straws.

[@segacollect]

Years back me and the Mrs used to enjoy going to TGI’s for a meal. However last couple of years I’ve been 3 times and all of them bad, food not as good, slow service and very expensive. I kept trying thinking it was just a one off bad experience but 3 in a row… never again. It has put me off trying any of their supermarket food. I would always make my own burgers anyway, just season and shape some good mince and whack in the air fryer, incredibly simple. Love your videos 👍

[@bobfrankish8883]

Hi Gareth, another good and informative video. Like everyone says, home-made burgers is the way to go. Doesn't take that long, and I make some extra and freeze them, so just as handy. Not convinced about the Iceland "named" ranges. We tried the TFI Fridays ribs and they were rubbish. Most of them went in the bin. Aldi's ribs are far better. Also tried the Greggs steak pies, which were also rubbish and went in the bin. All in all, a waste of time and money.

[@paulcullen814]

I know the 454g for the 4 burgers is the uncooked weight, about 113g each. If you look at the nutritional info it is 231 kcal per 100g pan fried so 2.31 kcal per gram. Divide the 150 kcal per burger pan fried by kcal per gram the cooked burger is roughly 65g, of which 9g is still fat. That means the pan fried burger is about 58% of the uncooked weight and the cooked burger is still 14% fat.

[@bogwoodmoonrocks9709]

who cares the about fat worrying thing is the carbs in a burger! wouldnt touch any burger with more than two ingredients protein and fat!

I'm not sure what's allowed, but 27.5% weight-loss does seem quite a lot to be honest. You're probably right that they'll quote frozen weight. Add to this the fat/gristle content in these, I think I'll avoid. Thanks for the video as always. Great work!

[@davidspear9790]

Lidl fresh Aberdeen Angus four quarter pounders are £3.49. Very little shrinkage (although I haven't weighed them post cooking). My latest thing is to prick them and spread Marmite (or in this case, Lidl's own brand yeast extract, at half the price) on both sides and leave for an hour before cooking in the oven for 20-25 mins. The saltiness of the Marmite cooks out and leaves a delicious umami flavour.

My favourite are Iceland's own brand pack of four 1/4 pound Aberdeen Angus burgers for £4. They are the absolute biz.

I've only recently found your channel and I've watched a few (chicken kebab, lamb curry and this one). Great content thank you. You've got me thinking I need a worktop oven but after looking and only ever owning conventional ovens and microwave ovens I'm a bit lost. Can you tell me what yours is and would you recommend it?

[@jimg9820]

I quite often make my own burgers and they also give up a lot of fat, I'm not sure these ones really did worse than any other burger? You'll have to have a burger challenge with various makes - frozen, fresh and home made! I think you need to weight them all before and after too.

[@FreeYourMindArt]

There's your next task. several burgers with before and after weights. A burger or any meat will lose weight when being cooked due to the fat content. Ross burgers were awful. I could just taste onion. Outside toilet lol Bet you had squares of the Sun newspaper for emergencies LOL

[@beltingtokra]

New tripod! Nice one, Gaz, I would only buy burgers when when they are yellow sticker, and probably the higher end own brand ones. I made my own the other day but I think the fat content was too low and it crumbled lol.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

That's it. It's hard work lol

[@stackyal5807]

Greetings from Whitehaven. Another great video but I believe regardless of raw fresh or frozen a burger weight is always based on the raw weight. It isn’t the weight after cooked

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers pal. Just up the coast from us here.

4:00 exactly the same as restaurants do to make their 'seafood sauce' for prawn cocktail. I challenge anyone.....take a teaspoon of salad cream/mayo and add a smidgen of ketchup....smell 'n taste it and tell me it's not the same lol. Thanks Gareth for another review mate.

Nothing worse than finding chunks of 'nuclear missile' in a finely ground burger, Good work mate, keep it up.

Taking us all back to the early 80s with you. Go carts....BMX bikes.....building hide-outs

[@JuxZeil]

HICKORY SMOKED OIL!?!...you mean chemically flavoured like the bacon and ham. 😂 Also, if that beef is Aberdeen Angus is HAS to come from Scotland, otherwise it can only be called Angus...the breed.

[@uglenddalejones2]

Fantastic review. I did not know about the gherkin water that’s a new one for me. Put foil on the tin. Then put a second looser layer and then add your baking paper. Afterwords,just ball up together the second foil and baking paper and leaving the first one wrapped around the tray. 👌🔥🔥🙌☺️

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thanks

[@SandraDent-lf4xy]

Good idea

[@philcroxall6575]

I have enjoyed watching you for a long time. Sadly I thought that those Burgers were overpriced and under par.

[@AtariFitness]

I much rather buy the burgers from the butcher’s. You pay a little bit more. The burgers don’t shrink as much and the best part. There taste miles better then those frozen burgers.

[@sarahillingworth2718]

Our local Iceland was short of food today so mum and dad have limited dinners. This burger looks 😋

[@Garycarlyle]

Good video. I just make my own burgers. 100% minced beef. No fillers. About the same to buy burgers but you know more about what's in them.
