Recipe Tips
- The frozen hamburgers should be gluten-free but double-check the package to be one hundred percent certain.
- You may need to adjust the cooking time if your frozen hamburgers are quite thick. For example, the hamburgers in this recipe are roughly 1 cm (0.4 in).
- Do not overlap the hamburgers as it will affect cooking times and result in a less even cook.
- The cheese is optional but does help add a ton of flavor to the burger. I like to use cheddar cheese slices.
- I recommend using a meat thermometer to check the temperatures of the hamburgers. Ideally, you want the burger to be at least 72°C (160°F).
- If your air fryer starts to smoke, you may need to add a bit of water to the base of your air fryer basket. The water will help prevent the grease from the hamburgers burning and causing the air fryer to smoke.
- Use a fish slice or spatula to flip the hamburgers. Tongs may break up the meat patty when you go to flip it.
