fatchap Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 I've just had a Rustlers quarter pounder burger, Microwave jobby and I cannot put into words just how putrid it was. One and half minutes on full power and it was like handling a hot coal, Leave it for one minute then put the "burger sauce" and enjoy. Where to start? the bun in that 1 minute goes from hot soft and doughy to stale and crumbly. The burger which I very much doubt contains any part of a cow you would want to eat if you knew what it was. Then theres the sauce which tasted like off milk. I had one bite spat it out and offered the rest of it to the woofer, he had a cautionary sniff thought **** that and walked off. Looks very nice on the packaging even has tomato in the picture, needless to say there was no tomato actually in it. I will go as far to say, given the choice of a Rustlers burger or a pot noodle or a toothpaste sandwich, I'll take the sarnie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger-Mouse Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Not sure you're supposed to microwave the bun for that long. Certainly not gourmet food but in a push I'd have one. Your dog is far too choosy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the French Bulldog part of my dog he has an educated palette, if he had been all staffie he would have had my hand off for a burger no matter what it tasted like.

I think when I've done them I just nuked the burger then maybe give the bun 10 or 20 seconds afterwards. It's rare that bread products survive long contact with the microwave. Ah French, well, says it all really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennett Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 I will admit to being slightly partial to a rustler, they are scheise but a guilty pleasure. Definitely did something wrong if the bun went hard and crumbly, it should come out too hot to hold without welding gauntlets, with the consistency of soggy, chewy lava. The sausage and cheese muffin is good 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Really .. a microwave burger 'not nice' …. ! In that case, to avoid further disappointment, I'd steer clear of crab sticks and the re-constituted rib things ......

243ack Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Think maybe you got it the wrong way round. After nuking, you're supposed to bin the burger and eat the packaging!!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 If you toast the bun the whole affair gets a bit better - microwave the burger minus 10 seconds then put the sauce on it and blast for another 10 before shoving it in the bun, add salad and it's just about edible.

Actually cordon bleu translates as blue ribbon and is actually Swiss in origin. Corden Bleu is a dish of meat wrapped around cheese and shallow fried, Think I prefer the burger😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being a bit optimistic, thought it was going to be at the very least edible. As I said the picture on the packaging paints a very different picture to what you actually get.

Reminds me of Silverline Tools. And lots of stuff I've fell for on the shopping channels, Like those 100 drill bits that will drill through glass, Cut a long story short...they don't.
