Some of the nicest frozen burgers ive had are from Asda. "Extra Special 4 Aberdeen Angus Beef Quarter Pounders" . Worth giving them a try
-
The raw burger on the packaging looks gourmet. The actual raw burger looks like cat food!
-
As you say Gaeth, the packaging is more impressive than the actual small burgers.👍
-
Packaging looks like an expensive chocolate bar...🤔

5% Japanese Wagyu steak trimmings. The bits that no one wants! Cheers Gareth. 👍

Gareth looks like you overcooked these. Wagyu due to the extremely high fat content is intended to be only heated through and served a little on the rare side to avoid the "shrinkage" and excessive fat rendering. Still love your videos!
-
I think you have overcooked them and rendered the fat out, which is why they have shrunk so much. I'd go for a very quick fry / grill. Would be good on the BBQ.
-
I think they broke up because you flattened them out. Had you left them and cooked slowly they would have been ok, with a little shrinkage, of course. Shrinkage is all around, everything is getting g smaller.

I'll carry on making my own Gaz, the quality of shop bought burgers has really gone downhill lately.

"All fur coat and no knickers" describes them well...........😂😂

I had them and found them to be far too expensive. They were yummy and I agree with you that normal Birds eye burgers have the same or similar taste for me. They are a treat but a once in a life time treat. I can't see me paying that much money again for any burgers. As for all the fat don't waste it. Add onions and bacon and add to the burger. Another great video.

For a start, the price. I buy Aldi Oakhurst brand frozen beefburgers with onion for £1.89. For that price you get 6 tasty burgers. But it was only near the end of the video that I realised that there is only 5% Japanese wagyu beef in the Iceland burgers. They are overpriced.

I tell you what Gareth. Last week I went to the butchers and bought beef shin which is one of the cheaper cuts. Got a kilogram for £10. Sealed it in the pan and cooked it in the oven at 190c for 30 minutes and it was brilliant. Compared to those burgers, probably 10x better and a lot cheaper

Thanks Gareth, I think its all being said from the luminous green glow on opening the box. To your demonstration of The Wagon Wheel Syndrome (Old v New) done in 10 minutes! 🤣 Follow on video how to make your own bio-diesel from Wagyu Beef fat! Soz!
-
That's a really useful review as I WOULD have bought them based on the packaging and 'wagyu' meat. Thank you Gareth 🙂 🙂
-
Scissors are referred to as a pair as you quite rightly said, because of the two cutting edges. No too sure on these burgers. Keep up the good work, have a spot on easter
-
All these food companies are having our pants down with there inflated prices, poor products, also I've noticed on a lot of product that they've lowered the grams by 5-10% without saying a thing, if they increased it by 10% they would make a song and dance about it on the packaging.
-
You literally just saved me!!! Saw these and was going to try them!! Ended up buying 2 Rustlers deluxe bacon cheeseburgers instead 😂
-
I think you have to cook Wagyu more delicately. With such a high percentage of fat, you're going to get a lot of shrinkage if it's allowed to render down. The fat content is the whole point of Wagyu, so cooking it off defeats the purpose.
-
They cook in their own fat and that renders down.. hence the weight loss..maybe I should render myself down 🤣
