Another fine piece of burger analysis there by our PBC – our other microwaveable burger review is currently our 9th most read review/post so people out there do you want to know about these products. This burger isn’t pretending to be an Admiral Codrington cheeseburger or anything even close. It’s convenience food at its most convenient and as such, carries out its task with aplomb.

As I said, it was the Rustlers sauce that came through strongest. A mustardy-vinegary orange-coloured recipe that I wasn’t too keen on. It did seem to lighten up a bit after adding ketchup though. The cooking instructions (which must be followed to the letter) have given me a very hot burger and that’s really good. And when I bit into this burger, I forgot all about my McDonald's disappointment. Believe it or not, this microwaveable supermarket burger was juicy, tasted like it came straight from a barbecue and the sauce added an extra oomph that elevated the whole experience. And at a cheaper price point, this will be my go-to quarter pounder for the foreseeable future.
