It is November 3, 2023. I JUST tried this. Exactly as prescribed in the video, no deviations. And the result was remarkable. The results were so good it is likely that it will change the way I buy beef altogether. The patties had a crisp and browned exterior, and were cooked to well done (but not dry) in the middle. Life-changing video!

[@DIYGourmet]

I am honored by your kind words. Thank you for watching and it is my pleasure to be of assistance.

[@grayboo212]

Prescribed... that's funny: Take 3 burgers and call me in the morning.

So I just made this and I have to say its the best I have ever been able to make these things. Thank you!

Thank you, trying to cook more nowadays for my kids. We love burgers ! Cheers.

Glad to help, Brett! I sure am glad to hear it helps the kiddos. As a dad myself, I know it helps to be able to combine home cooking with a little helping hand of ready to cook frozen meats. Enjoy everyone!

Much love to you @BaronLima, thanks for suggesting the prep recipes. I'll start getting some ideas brewing.

[@DIYGourmet]

😁 glad to hear you enjoyed it.

[@rosario9496]

I’m just cooked two grass-fed patties from Costco using your instructions; they came out delicious. I sautéed some sweet onions next to the patties for added flavor and melted some Muenster cheese on the patties. Thank you!

[@DIYGourmet]

That sounds delicious! I love doing that with onions for the burger, and Muenster really does make it great. The patties I used were probably the same ones. I'll also use the 1/3 lb sometimes, and the cooking is almost the same, just a bit longer. Thanks for sharing and bon apetit, provecho, and all the rest to wish you a good meal.

[@leorivers7759]

Wow. Decades of frying burgers and I am finally able to do frozen burgers right. PS: Hard frozen out of the bag. No thaw, right?

[@DIYGourmet]

Maybe two minutes on the counter at most if the pan is heating, but yeah, hard frozen. I'm happy I could help you with it.

[@MikeBuckridge]

How long should I let it rest after cooking?

[@DIYGourmet]

2-3 minutes should do it.

[@ManiKolex]

When do I add the cheese?

[@DIYGourmet]

When you let it rest after the heat goes off for about 2 minutes. Otherwise, if you like melty cheese and crispy bits then add it a bit before you turn it off.

[@jjfrenzy789]

Do you only season one side?

[@DIYGourmet]

you can do both sides for extra flavor.

[@brendacollins4518]

What about using butter instead of oil? Is that a no-no? I prefer the taste of butter over oil...😊 I have a dozen frozen patties I need to cook and not waste. I really hate wasting food.

[@DIYGourmet]

Butter also works, but beware that it burns much more readily than oil. I'm with you on not wasting either!

[@michaelgrinder5946]

Would have been nice if you gave the temp for an electric stove top , instead of only gas. Would think that this is a cooking channel you would be more specific for those of us trying to learn.

[@DIYGourmet]

Fair, and when I can afford it I’ll pick up an electric to make examples with. I’ve got an induction but that’s a different kind of electric.

[@DIYGourmet]

Actually, I did do that on the induction and it was about 280-300F

[@Qulize]

0:50 So by 2 minutes, do you mean I should cover each side for 2 minutes or 1 minutes for each side? Btw like your style man. Straight to the point, no bs.

[@DIYGourmet]

Yes, it is to be covered 2 minutes on each side. However, there is some play in there. The cover protects against spitting oil, but it also increases/ decreases the ambient temperature around the patty. By adjusting the cover to hold in or release steam, one can adjust the rareness of the patty as it cooks. Thanks for the kind words, I try to stay on point and not stray from keeping things on-topic during the tutes.

[@Qulize]

​@@DIYGourmetAppreciated the detailed reply man. I'm learning a lot thanks to you 👍

How about on a Ninja Foodi Grill?

you know... I've been thinking about if I should get one to do episodes with. Upvote this comment, and if there's more than 100 likes I'll pick one up.

[@ShoeBoyReview]

@@DIYGourmet That’d be great! I’m about to grill some patties on there now. They always turn out a bit tough, so I’m changing it up a bit (doing a little lower heat and flipping more than once).

[@DIYGourmet]

I was scoping it out online, and I think that if you have a small ramekin made of ceramic or metal, then it's possible to put it in with some water in it. The water will create a higher humidity inside and may serve to help it stay juicier.

[@ShoeBoyReview]

@@DIYGourmet That could help! I just did them on medium heat for 6 minutes flipping halfway, and they turned out much better. They were thawed in the fridge for a day, so they didn’t need as long to cook.

[@TwistedReality420]

Why does Chumley have a KZbin channel

[@DIYGourmet]

(P.J. Fry Eyes) Not sure if going to block you for the inference, or just laugh and let you know that I do not overpay for things, therefore I cannot be Chumlee. 🤨😏 I've gotten John C. Riley, the Jack in the Box dude, but Chumlee? That's a stretch.

[@mr.brenman2132]

@StonedGamer420 Pot is not a personality trait.

[@ChasetheLights13]

That’s good. I’d pay to hear him say “Rick”

[@imrickjames98765]

What temp should they be?

[@DIYGourmet]

Official numbers say it should be 140F minimum on the inside but I don't always get it quite there, and it has worked well so far. If ever I cooked them from thawed I make sure it's about a minute that it stays at 140F on the inside.

[@imrickjames98765]

@@DIYGourmet think that would be the key. I’ve been trying different ways to cook Sam’s Choice angus burgers from frozen. I try as close to 160. But I should let them rest well before that. They aren’t rubbery or dry. Just not hitting it perfectly

[@DIYGourmet]

@Justin the key from what I have gleaned over the years about 160 is that is if it is treated as thawed and the minimum time and heat combination then it works for immediate consumption. However, and this is spoken of less often because the method is slightly more precise, is that by using 140 and rest time, then it can take its time. The thing with 140 done right is getting it there, maybe slightly above, and then letting it rest under a cover for a couple of minutes; not too far off the heat source for a slower temp loss gradient.

[@imrickjames98765]

@@DIYGourmet awesome! Tried it and so much better. Cooking as a bachelor sux! It’s hard for me to get fresh ground beef and use it all. So everything frozen it is

[@DIYGourmet]

@Justin It does get difficult being a bachelor and not being able to rock larger serving sizes and bulk prep. I have one for the big frozen boneless skinless breasts coming soon that comes out nice directly from the freezer too. I'm really glad this helped, thanks for asking about it.

[@Roger-il8iw]

No butter ?! 😢

[@DIYGourmet]

That's right, i use Sunflower or Olive. Though you can use butter if you like.

[@rugershooter5268]

See how one side is cooked in middle and other side cooked around the edges........ don't look right, maybe a bacon press

[@DIYGourmet]

lid off with a bit more time on the other side makes it more crisp on that side. it's cooked through, but the lid off does crisp the patty a bit more.
