Thank you Tanya! This is so helpful! We are really trying to use up our frozen items so this is perfect timing! 🥰

[@TheYeti810]

I literally got burger in the air fryer right now that’s how I got here 😂

[@danielhova7826]

Incredible story! Thank you for this ❤

[@SSPDIVING]

Great video! Perfect timing and cadence on the entire video. Didn’t have to skip ahead or rewind at all! Perfect 🤌🏼

[@aliciafranco5704]

Dude! I was stressing about dinner but now I'm chill thx to your vid! I just purchased a Kalorik Air fryer - Love and respect from Southern California ❤

[@rhahavyb]

I’ve been needing to use my air fryer more and ur vids really came in handy thank you !

[@aberdeenmeadows]

Your the first person I saw where your burgers you cooked with the air fryer actually looked delicious cooking and when it was complete! Nothing beats quality Angus frozen patties when cooking from home. Love the tutorial. I usually make my frozen ones in the IP, but decided to do the air fryer today and used yours as a guideline. Thank you!

[@redhead3621]

I just brought an air fryer a month ago and have been cooking small stuff in it, like hot dogs, english muffins and bacon. I had a taste for a cheeseburger today and had no idea how to cook them in an air fryer. So I type it in youtube search bar and your video showed up first. I have just subscribed to your channel and I am looking forward to learning other dishes that I can cook in my air fryer from your channel.

[@michaelterance]

Sis, thank you for this 🔥🔥 everyone else I seen was being extra, u went str8 to the point 🔥

[@rev.leonidasw.smiley6300]

I love your style! Nice job.

[@donschenck2466]

Fantastic. Thank you for making this video.

[@mikemarcus8676]

Thanx for the vid. I really like your happy, friendly attitude. Thanx again

[@fabulousrobert6607]

What I was exactly thinking of doing. This is super fast and convenient. Especially when you’re in a hurry, or just because. I prefer using that Ninja dual basket air fryer, myself. Because on one side you’re making the burger, and the other side basket your making the fries. 🍟 🍔 A dream come true 😃👍🏼

[@robthomas9070]

We just bought an air fryer and it was delivered yesterday. I don't know how KZbin knew to recommend your channel but I'm glad. I subbed immediately.

[@devinspearman]

Our devices listen to everything we say not to sound crazy but just facts so you were talking about it that’s probably why

[@nicholasterzick7140]

Great video! Thx for the information

[@SushiSnake]

You are the only one that said to preheat, and it saved us so much grievance!! Definitely going to subscribe for more helpful tips and advice! ✌

[@sundok1]

I had this kind of basket in my philips airfryer of first gen. i can't say i love it becuz it was impossible to keep clean. it had great airflow resultiing in great frying results though. All n'all, great video thanks a lot!

[@jpalm1124]

After I flip the burgers I always place a small (1/2 Tbs) slice of butter on top of the burger and let it melt into the meat as it finishs cooking. I've always cooked at 400 but I think your time and temp will give me a juicy burger.

[@FrantzMerisier]

Excellent idea!

[@Ballroomblitz255]

Now that the kids are gone i usually just make a single or two burgers at a time and thought it might be easier to do the air fryer rather than the BBQ when the outside temperature is scorching. Glad i found your video, think i will at least try it out. For separating the burgers i find a butter knife slid between the patties, a slight twist of the knife and the separate so easily. Cheers.

[@md4211]

We just got an air fryer so your video was right to.the point,.thank you!!

[@LICCERATTI]

Great video, THANK YOU

[@nateroo]

I'm in love again! jk... seriously, excellent simple vid on cookin' up frozen burger patties in the air fryer and just like previous comment, your burgers looked delicious (and obviously were). Thanx for sharing!

[@dwoodog]

This is pretty much exactly what I'll be doing. Thanks for the tips. I just bought an air fryer yesterday.

[@sarbethf4344]

This is perfect and so helpful!

[@MyForkingLife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kristenhouse9799]

I've never seen frozen hamburgers look so tasty!

[@rickcormier9160]

This is a great idea for when I get home late or need a quick meal. (An ice pick works better to separate frozen patties.)

[@agentredhasretired5450]

Looks good

[@ANDREAPASLEY-yu8bb]

Going to try this right now

[@davidjserrano1275]

Thank you for these tips. I have 6 qt air fryer and able three patties and temp 380 8 minutes per side.

[@bargdaffy1535]

Just got an Air Fryer and Have Frozen Burgs in the Fridge! Thanks., Mostly for your special sauce, that is a great Idea!

[@MrJuddTV]

didn't see any seasoning added so since when they are frozen doesn't work a good time to season would be on the first flip before continuing to cook. please give your burger some flavor

[@shaneholocher9523]

Super saucy saucy!!

[@jeanb.7963]

Thank you so much for sharing. They look very delicious.

[@MyForkingLife]

My pleasure 😊

[@kgthompson5814]

Your the best

[@Dre7]

The cutting board, butter knife, and mallet is so much better than the way I tried about 15 years ago. Used a kitchen knife and my hands and ended up with stitches. Wish I knew your method then 😄

[@lovess4051]

Yummy Yummy

[@williamdempseymusic]

Legit 🔥

[@dwaynewilliams9947]

Good vid and a little funny at the same time🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@mrkurleygunna]

Mcdonalds messed up my burger and I'm still hungry 😂😂😂 I got patties and some buns and the air fryer.... lets gooooo

[@MyForkingLife]

😂😂😂 I'm so sorry they messed up, but this is also hilarious. Air fryer to the rescue!

[@FatedTag]

Thank you, that was very nice.

[@rachelle_banks]

Well hi! 👋🏾 I definitely subscribed. I am wanting to actually use my air fryer more frequently to save money and to monitor what I'm eating. Also, you know how it is when you pay too much money for something and it doesn't even taste like you wanted to? I'm at that point in my life to where I'd just rather cook it now.

[@min2oly]

I like soft fluffy buns too 🙂

[@gwenb4531]

Those look good. How long did you cook after putting the cheese on?

[@MyForkingLife]

Thank you! For about 1-2 minutes.

[@davidnewsome1974]

Oh shoot I totally watched this and didn't pay attention to anything you just said. I think I know why 😍 I guess I'll have to watch it again! 😊

[@danielhova7826]

What a comment. Praying for your brain

[@ruzo64]

you can also separate the frozen patties by lightly smacking them against the counter, no knife or mallet required

[@ADRNDLPZ]

You took a giant bite as soon as you walked off camera huh LOL Thankyou!

[@MyForkingLife]

😂😂😂 I sure did

[@mickicesario7428]

Woops, found it on the blog.

[@elenipapakyriacou1]

What temperature did you use

[@sakaemanning9485]

Love your instructions for those of us intimated by our air fryer. Would this technique work with frozen turkey burgers? I'd like to try it. Yes, I also like soft burger buns. Brioche is the best!

[@MyForkingLife]

Thank you. Yes, this will work for any kind of burgers. Just make sure the temperature of the burger reaches 165F.

[@annekennedy8127]

Yes, I'm doing chicken burgers at the minute and yes, brioche buns are the best!..

[@mickicesario7428]

How can I save this recipe to Pinterest? I don't want to lose it.

[@dwaynewilliams9947]

Ms Tanya you reminded me of Kevin hart when you tried to separate the patties with your bare hands😂😂

[@bgaviator]

The Private Selection burgers are good

[@jaydavies493]

New friend and subscriber here. Great video! That looks like a tasty burger (in my Samuel L. Jackson voice🎉)

[@michaelblackstock6140]

Hi Tanya, you probably covered this in one of your videos, what is a good budget oil spryer?

[@MyForkingLife]

I use an evoo bottle (they’re on Amazon). It’s not a budget bottle but I’ve had it forever and it sprays well. I haven’t tried any other spray bottles.

[@thestraightroad305]

Tanya, thanks for the burger method and what I really want to know is-where did you get your apron??❤️❤️❤️

[@MyForkingLife]

Thank you so much! I honestly can’t remember the exact store I picked this apron up from.

[@XAPSRxCasper]

That’s what I do. I got a rubber mallet from the dollar store and keep it in the kitchen drawer. Been doing it for years.

[@skeets6060]

SO what was the time you cooked them????

[@shaunanewkirk529]

Mrs Tanya thank you for this video and I have a question can you cook neckbones and rice in a air fryer ?

[@MyForkingLife]

Yep, anything you can cook in an oven can be cooked in the air fryer. I haven’t done the neckbones but I have made rice in the air fryer.

[@greddmyles3677]

What about the seasoning though?

[@helpfulnatural]

Cheeseburger please!! 😋🍔

[@BasedAnomaly]

3:58 the correct term is myoglobin, and it’s completely safe. 😁

[@ROJO25]

Great video. FYI. If you want the best frozen burger patties Snake River Farms sell a 2 pack 1/2 lb. burger that is by far the best frozen burger I've ever had the pleasure of tasting.. Like steak? You'll love these. Recognized as "the world’s most decadent burger,” Snake River Farms gourmet hamburger patties are premium restaurant quality and made from 100% American Wagyu beef. These burgers taste great anyway you prepare them, but lend themselves especially well to the convenience of the air fryer. They're a treat, once tried its gonna be hard to settle for other lessor brands. I'm not affiliated with SRF just a very satisfied customer spreading the word about this high quality meat producer.

[@MyForkingLife]

Thank you! I’ve heard of Snake River Farms before but haven’t tried anything yet. I’ll have to give their burgers a try.

[@jamesballard6564]

Never heard of this brand but good to know. Also herd that Bubba brand frozen patties are quite good.

[@jbob1548]

what temp?

[@777UALPilot]

Thanks, and, u are so pretty!

[@parris05]

Were the hamburgers seasoned? I’ve gone back several times to watch, but didn’t see where they were seasoned? Or was it pre-seasoned?

[@valerieprice9997]

I noticed she never mentioned anything about seasoning them. They weren't pre-seasoned because they were frozen patties from a box. Nah, I have to have seasoning.

[@luxuryqueen42]

You can season it while its cooking.

[@aceboogie8774]

Thank you! I was looking through the comments to make sure I wasn’t crazy lol. Definitely will season as it cooks.

[@carmela.nealon8503]

Hello

[@typicalgamergirl]

Did you season it or it's already seasoned?

[@MyForkingLife]

Hi, I didn’t season these. They are angus beef burgers and they already taste pretty salty to me. However, if you would like to season, I’d suggest halfway through cooking to ensure the season doesn’t just drip off since they are frozen.

[@richmalomo8065]

what brand of frozen burgers is this?

[@MyForkingLife]

I don't recall the brand name, but it's angus beef. I also make sure the burgers have no filler. I usually just check the ingredients and it should only have beef, salt, and spice.

[@heavymetalbasement7002]

What is the temperature setting?

[@mjbjr1944]

At 2:11 she says preheat to 360 degrees so I assume that's also the baking temperature.

[@jamesballard6564]

My air fryer has a default setting of 370. Will be interesting to try.

[@shadaihargrove3755]

We're the patties pre-seasoned? 😅😅

[@MyForkingLife]

I don't add additional seasonings to frozen burgers, they are seasoned.

[@therockamy]

❤❤❤❤ …. 💐💐💐💐

[@TheYeti810]

Baby girl the easiest way to separate the Pattie’s it just slam them down on the counter or just give it a couple taps

[@MyForkingLife]

Oh I tried that way lol. That never worked for me.

[@jamesballard6564]

You risk fracturing the patties that way. I too have always used butter knife.

[@edross2826]

So, is there no seasoning at all on those patties?🤔

[@MyForkingLife]

Feel free to season yours. I always suggest to check the label of the burgers you buy, most come already seasoned with salt and pepper. Plus all the toppings, lettuce, tomato, mayo, ketchup, onions, make it good for me. I absolutely hate over seasoned foods or seasoning just for the sake of seasoning.

[@edross2826]

@@MyForkingLife Good advice. Thanks

[@ArtVandely85]

your dripping it all over the counter

[@TheJaiNetwork]

How do you make burgers but not discuss if it’s medium, rare, medium, well done, etc.. I’m guessing this is well-done?

[@MyForkingLife]

Great question. These are well done, but still juicy. If you buy any package of frozen burgers, they will recommend you cook them to 165F. That has to do with food safety. To sum it up, ground meat, including that in frozen burgers, is more susceptible to bacterial contamination because bacteria on the surface can be mixed throughout during the grinding process. But, I still order a medium burger when I eat out at restaurants 😂 But for home purposes using frozen patties, I follow the guidelines.

[@Barnsey87]

Just cookied mine on 200c 10 mins

[@hrrsnd]

Don't know why this was funny to me, just was looks good tho 😁 lol

[@user-tz2cp3em3m]

Is not preheating even an option

[@Jayteezy877]

When I put cheese on mine it blows off

[@MyForkingLife]

Oh no, the fan in your air fryer is probably really strong. You could just add the cheese once you take it out and cover it with foil paper a bit. It won’t be as melted on but it should still melt a little from the heat.

[@michaelproctor8100]

You must not have been using Bubba Burgers or Sam's because those patties were round. I don't know of any name brand that has round patties, they're usually irregular shaped. You must have been using store bought patties?

[@MyForkingLife]

Yes, store bought from the freezer section. But I always look at the ingredients to make sure the ingredients are only beef and seasoning.

[@jamesballard6564]

Bubba , Walmart brand and Aldi are apparently good choices for frozen patties.
