So has anyone tried these frozen burgers that you cook in the toaster.

In Tesco apparently. And they claim they do not cover the toaster in fat.

Intriguing. But no doubt not that good for you!!!

    From the first link

    The hefty price tag means it’s highly unlikely they will ever make their way into the catering arena. However, it is reported that Tillman’s will also be introducing a Snack Me! meat line, which will be heated from frozen in the microwave. It will comprise Mini Schnitzel, Mini Pork Meatballs filled with a sweet and sour sauce, Mini Beef Kebabs, Mini Chicken Meatballs filled with curry sauce and Mini Pork Riblets.

    Sounds interesting those microwave things.

    As for the burgers, will probably try if and when they go on offer, can get better value snacks at the moment

    I don't have a toaster any more so I don't think I would be trying these any time soon. But if they taste like normal frozen burgers I can see them becoming popular if they are not too pricey.

    I bought loads of those, one of the best purchases I ever made. When I do bacon I always do a few too many rashers and then use them bags to make a bacon & cheese toastie for breakfast.. Pure heaven.

    Doesn't the fill all slide to the bottom? When I had a toaster I always thought these looked good but that was always the thing on my mind that it would all fall to the bottom of the bag.

    No. The bags are quite narrow and you usually have to squash everything together so there's never usually any room for movement! They're great little things to have.

    Never had that problem, you do get a bit of 'leakage' around the sides but apart from that they're excellent.

    Cool, I have always hated Sandwich makers because they were so hard to clean when you had to cover the plates with butter etc. So I always looked at these as a great alternative, but with the nagging of with it being vertical will gravity take its toll. But if that is not the case I am impressed. I don't have a toaster but if I get one again then I might give these ago.

    Now I just use the George Foreman :)

    I will not let myself buy a sandwich toaster as I know I'd just live off them if I owned one. All that butter.....

    We have a sandwich toaster but I use the fry light spray oil or butter for the outside. Works just as well as normal butter but without all the fat and calories!
