Uncooked beef patties suitable to freeze. Not suitable to microwave.
Make your own patties:
You can also make your own beef patties using a ratio of using a ratio of 400g meat to 100g fat. Keep the meat as cold as possible while working to maintain a nice, coarse texture and to prevent it from going mushy.
