Used to buy microwave doner kebabs at uni, they were something ridiculous like £1 for 2, they were especially "epic". Never had a rustlers burger, sounds like I am missing out.

Username plus post combo, heyo!

Probably because they are utterly disgusting and the only reason you'd eat one would be out of being too lazy to make anything else. You'd be better off eating the packet it comes in.

I quite like them. Handy as hell at work when you want something warm at your desk & have all of 6 minutes free.

Rustlers are scum IMO, tried them a few times and always had some nasty gristle. *barf*

Funnily enough, I often have microwaved burgers and sausages, but they are good ones that I cook and then freeze.

Cooked frozen burgers reheat fine in a microwave, and are even better if heated on something like a hotlogic mini (which I have in my office desk drawer)

Aaah rustlers the food of choice for anyone who smokes lambert and butler, wears a high vis vest and "collects" metal for a living

Can you show us your logic?

They are pretty bad. I have ate a few in the past before realising the error of my ways, they edible but are poor products, even the bun tastes weird.

Lol ita a joke dont be too serious.

Anecdotally though the only people ive seen buy them in the local shops near me are those fellows that procure any metal from the roadside/ your house and tend to reside on other peoples land without permission

Damn those errant metallurgists!

I buy them when they're on offer, not bad for a quick snack., paying more than a quid for them is a complete rip off though.

However I usually toast the bun and microwave the burger separately, microwaving them together is kinda gross.

I dont think that @Diddums has ever made a serious post tbh.....

something daft already!! · 8 Nov 2018 at 13:46

The only things that should be microwaved are ready meals or food which needs reheating. Burgers should always be freshly cooked and grilled or griddle only IMHO.

Well. Sort of. I rarely make serious posts but when I do, you'll know.

If you want a semi decent quick snack, mix peri-peri super noodles with half a tin of bransons baked beans. Actually goes really well together and adds some protein and fibre to the msg and carbs of the super noodles. It would also probably work with bbq flavour.

Hang on - is that answer a serious post or not?

Also, to the best of my knowledge I have not tried said Rustlers microwave burgers and based on skimming this thread I don't think I will be changing that any time soon.

Annoyingly after reading this thread I've been inspired to order some junk food, it is ages since I had some really **** food and since there is a 24 hour McDonalds near me that does delivery via uber I've gone for it.

I will try a Rustlers and some of the frozen nastiness my local Tesco stocks over the next few days too.

and it has arrived... good job I don't eat fast food too regularly, 24/7 McDonalds that can arrive within 15 minutes via an app on my phone could be dangerous....

I think the burgers are alright for a quick hangover snack. The best one was the bbq rib though. They tasted great !

The meatball sub is also pretty damn good.

No sure if they were Rustlers but I remember microwave hodogs that had a little sachet of fried onion along with the usual mustard/ketchup with them...they were great!
