Rustlers Flame Grilled Quarter Pounder, 190g

Product Information

Well, firstly this goes in the microwave. There are two options – nuke the burger and the bun, or just the burger and toast the bun. I opted for the second option as I’m unconvinced bread and microwaves are happy bedfellows. It was put together in my own kitchen so ingredients to hand included lettuce, tomato (but, no!), beetroot, carrot, onions, Brie, kit-kats and marmalade. A ping and a beep later and I was building a burger, realising that the whole affair was so fast, I had no time to muse on anything during the wait. Bottom bun, cheese slice, burger, sauce, top bun. Job done. McDonald's, you're dead to me. Rustlers has officially dethroned you as the king of the quarter pounder. If you figure out how to make your beef juicy and sort out your vegetable issues we can talk again but until then, Rustlers has my heart. Sorry, not sorry.

I finished the whole thing in less than a minute. No fries of course here. In fact from fridge to dishwasher was probably all within five minutes. Processed Cheese Slice [Cheese ( Milk), Water, Butter ( Milk), Skimmed Milk Powder, Whey Powder ( Milk), Emulsifying Salts: E452, E331, E339; Flavouring ( Milk), Milk Protein, Calcium Phosphate, Salt, Colours: E160a, E160c; Acidity Regulator: E330] 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. Description Quarter pounder beef burger in a sesame seeded bun, with a cheese slice and a sachet of Rustlers sauce.

Beef Burger (43%) [Beef, Beef Fat, Soya Protein, Salt, Wheat Flour*, Dextrose, Sugar, Stabiliser: E451; Egg White Powder, Yeast Extract, Hydrolysed Soya Protein, Barley Malt Extract, Flavourings] Rustlers Sauce [Tomato Puree, Spirit Vinegar, Onion, Sugar, Cornflour, Rapeseed Oil, Mustard Seeds, Salt, Gherkin, Spices, Preservative: E202; Mustard Flour, Flavouring, Colour: E160c; Dill Oil]

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.

Verdict-wise, I probably wouldn’t have it again. I’m simply never in need of a five-minute meal but I’m sure plenty people are sometimes and in such cases the Rustlers burger does the job. Grill - From Chilled - Place patty on a baking tray. Cook on medium heat for 5-6 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.
