REPIN this Frozen Burgers in Air Fryer Recipe
I love my Vortex. I live alone, so I use it for all of my baking/air frying needs. I just made a 1/3 lb frozen burger in my air fryer. It looked thicker than the photo above, so I set the timer at 10 minutes. Flipped at 5 minutes and topped with BBQ at 9 minutes. It was perfectly cooked, moist and juicy. I even toasted the onion bun at the same time. Not the same as a grilled burger but still good.
I did set the temp at 365. The higher the temp, the faster the meat dries out before it finishes cooking.
Perfect for frozen hamburgers. They were delicious! I usually grill outside even in these winter months or use a grilling pan. No more, air frying only now. So easy & clean up is so simple. I use my air fryer for everything. Best investment we’ve made!
I would love new recipes. I am a beginner, and a senior. I received a Vortex plus oven for Christmas. Thank you.
