How long does it take to cook a hamburger in the air fryer?
Air frying a hamburger patty doesn't take very long at all. My burgers are approximately 1'' thick and took 8 minutes to cook in total.
Are these hamburgers freezer friendly?
Yes, you can freeze the burgers either cooked or in their raw state. If you intend to stack them on top of one another please make sure to separate the patties with parchment paper in between.
How to cook the hamburgers from frozen?
Burgers that are cooked from frozen will need an additional 4-5 minutes. Increase the time to 12-13 minutes.
Can you serve the burgers with sauce?
Yes, why not try these two
Notes and tips
- Ensure hands are washed prior to forming the patties to omit cross contamination
- Hands should be cold not warm to avoid the burger mix becoming too sticky.
- Use low fat, lean beef (5% or less) to decrease the patties from shrinking.
- Use a food processor to breakdown the meat and to evenly combine the seasoning.
- Roll the mixture into rolls first so each patty will be the same size and cook for the same length of time.
- Any uncooked patties should be refrigerated or frozen until further use.
- If freezing the patties separate them with parchment paper
