Can you make the burgers, then freeze them ?

I suppose it could be done......not sure about cooking them directly from a frozen state.

Yes, you can make burgers and then freeze them. You would not freeze them in the press, as there is no way to seal them and might have an adverse affect over time on the plastic.. This question is actually not about the product but I thought I would answer you anyway.

just put your frozen item on the tray ... if you wish, warm the tray first with warm water

Most definitely. You can freeze left overs, and thaw them out with no problems. I have done that many times already. I am the only vegan here so sometimes I freeze foods I prepare so that I don't end up eating the same meal several days in a row.

Yes, but it is more efficient to cook more than you need and then just freeze the leftovers for other recipes. I usually freeze extra grains in 2-cup measures in labeled ziplock freezer bags.

I do. I usually premake my hamburgers and then thaw what I need on this. I leave them wrapped in the same plastic wrap I used to package them for the freezer when I defrost them. I don't know if you have to do that, but I find it cleaner. I used to put my old quick defroster in the dishwasher but eventually the black coating started to peel - so I hand wash this one and it's easier if the food isn't directly on it. Hope this helps!

Yes. It doesn't taste like fresh ice that way but, it can be done. I usually buy cheap food grade plastic bags at the grocery store and store the ice in the freezer. The plastic bags I buy are for homemade bread.

You can. I used Pam tonight toasting the hamburger buns. Your main thing to remember is the pan must be seasoned after use for the first few times of use. Also these pans have copper, and stainless steel, so when the pans heat up they hold the heat unlike teflon. So medium heat and keep oiled for moisture to the pan when cooking lean meats. I use olive oil after each use to lightly wipe inside the pans.

You can always cook frozen meat. I frequently have put frozen hamburger in a skillet simultaneously friying it and thawing it out right there in the pan constantly scraping off the outer layer as it cooks and defrosts at the same time. You can do this in the instant pot on the Saute setting. In any pressure cooker ( the instant pot is primarily used as a pressure cooker) you can put a whole frozen chicken, stew meat, frozen chiie block with two inches of water, making beef stew or chicken soup and just cook it about 5 minutes longer in the pressure cooker than unfrozen meat. It works very well. A pressure cooker unthaws frozen meat rather quickly as it cooks at about 240 degrees. No need to defrost first. You can take the meat put in the morning, put it in a dish in the morning and it will bee defrosted when you get home from work, but that is not necessary. Just take it out of the freezer and throw it in the Pressure Cooker. It will cook just the same as unfrozen, just give it a few extra minutes Bottom line - frozen is no big deal. W.O.

Yes. No problem at all. To minimize burger on the utensil. follow the tip and use wax paper 1/2 sheets {about 6" sq.} between each burger. Also helps separate them when frozen. Love it. Good luck.

no, just put it on and wait awhile - it doesn't take too long. The steel draws out the cold from the frozen meat. You can accomplish the same thing with a steel frying pan.Just try it.

Yes, when it starts just going back and forth it's time to transfer the mix to a separate container and stick it in the freezer for another couple of hours. Of course, you can eat it as soft serve immediately if you like!

While I have not put mine in a freezer, I understand that you can do that. You should really ask a grower directly, R.O. has a web site and a phone number and they will answer your question.

No, but I pre-cooked the items to stuff burgers with first, I don"t think they would turn out as well if I didn't. The burgers are fun to make as there are so many varieties to try.
