Can I cook a burger in my sandwich toaster?
 

Hi everyone,

I have the cheapest sandwich toaster (from tesco, at £4.98) it does
sandwiches just fine though. I was wondering what would happen if I
put a frozen burger in there? (not a quarter pounder) I think it's 750
watts. Is that enough to cook it? Any idea how long I should leave it
- if the idea is doable?

Hope somebody replies quickly. I'm tempted to do one this afternoon!

Thanks!

Hey at least I'm trying one better than buying a £1 frozen hamburger
with fries, from iceland - and throwing it in the microwave.

So please let me know, is it suitable to clamp a burger down in my
sandwich toaster? Or is that thing totally not fit for such a
purpose.

Thanks.

ps. I can figure out how to cook a burger. I've cooked them most
methods. Made soup too, was taught in russia.

I assume it could cook in it's own fat, then I could drain it out
after. Or even half way through cooking. (the burgers only smallish)

I wouldn't, but try it. You're not going to kill yourself. Might make
a mess but you'll know if you can or cannot. Be strong. Have courage!

I suspect that will just be a matter of time. It might
take longer than you want to wait, but I'm sure eventually
it will cook it thoroughly.

ok, did it.

Yep, wasn't too impressed. Mainly cleaning the thing out afterwards
was time consuming.

Grilled another after, and yeah, definately preferable.

BTW - I've boiled a burger before. A frozen burger straight into a pan
of boiling hot water.

It's good to see that England is maintaining its culinary standards.

I got a pan of boiling water, and threw a frozen quart pounder burger
in there. Along with noodles, flavouring (either beef, chicken or
prawn) and added mixed frozen vegetables. I had that nearly every day
for dinner, for about 3 months, last summer. Actually it was damn
good, I got quite addicted. The meat turns out lovely and soft, loses
flavour, yes, but was still nice. Must try it again soon. That was
when I was living abroad for a while in the USA. So it was ramen
noodles and mixed frozen veg from walmart.

That seems an oxymoron. :-)

Pity that was such a large part of your diet.
