Introduction:

Are you craving a juicy hamburger but only have frozen patties in your freezer? No worries! With the help of your trusty Instant Pot, you can have a delicious, perfectly cooked hamburger in no time. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of cooking frozen hamburgers in an Instant Pot.

Ingredients:

• Frozen hamburger patties
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Your favorite burger toppings

Steps to Cook Frozen Hamburger in Instant Pot:

1. Start by adding a tablespoon of olive oil to your Instant Pot and set it to the “Saute” mode. Allow the pot to heat up for a minute or two.
2. While the Instant Pot heats up, season your frozen hamburger patties with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Carefully place the seasoned patties into the Instant Pot, ensuring they do not overlap.
4. Close the lid of the Instant Pot, making sure it is properly sealed. Set the pressure release valve to the “Sealing” position.
5. Select the “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” setting on your Instant Pot and set the cooking time to 10 minutes for medium-rare burgers or adjust accordingly based on your preferred level of doneness.
6. Once the cooking time is set, sit back and relax while the Instant Pot works its magic. It will take some time for the pot to pressurize before the actual cooking process begins.
7. Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural release of pressure for 5 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release by turning the pressure release valve to the “Venting” position. Be cautious of the hot steam.
8. Open the lid and marvel at the perfectly cooked, juicy hamburgers.
9. Using a pair of tongs, transfer the burgers to a platter and let them rest for a couple of minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
10. Now it’s time to add your favorite burger toppings. Whether it’s cheese, lettuce, tomato, or condiments, customize your burger to your heart’s desire.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve your delicious homemade burgers on toasted buns alongside some crispy french fries or a garden salad. They are perfect for any backyard barbecue, family gathering, or just a quick weeknight dinner.
