Freezing Burgers

Postby hazelrah » Sat Sep 23, 2017 3:02 pm

Hi Jeff,

We're making a double batch of the sweet potato curry burgers. We want to freeze about 1/2 of them. Should we partially bake them before freezing or just freeze them after forming the burger? Seems to me you used to prep a bunch of them for travel, so I figured you'd know which works best.

Thank you. Hope you continue to be well.

I prefer to freeze them after they have been made and allowed to set and before cooking.

Then, you can cook them after they thaw or straight from frozen.

Enjoy!
