at least it's not Bitch Beef burger ;)
My local staff at woolies are great so hopefully no name calling required ;)
Time to change Woolies to Wokies.
Thought it was usually made from females
anybody ever try them?
Seems very cheap- hopefully someone has tried them to give us a review.
You can make much better burgers, with the cheap mince, around 20% fat. Matty Matheson has some excellent burger recipies.

For cheese, colby slices work best, or coles monterey jack slices.
I wish they still sold slices of blue cheese. They were awesome for burgers.
Yes, have had both the Roast Garlic and the Extra Lean versions. Better than most pre-made supermarket patties but if you're expecting some special flavour hit then you'll be disappointed. No obvious water in the ones I've had which is a big plus imo.
They are delicious. Worth $12 so $6 is a bargain!
I've tried them and didn't like them. They had a strange texture, I can't put my finger on what exactly was wrong about it… they perhaps had the texture of a sausage in the shape of a burger.
Anyway, I won't buy them again even if they're cheap.
Haven't tried these ones but I know exactly what you are talking about. I have tried some burgers with texture like that also.
I'm not an expert on what that means exactly but you want your burgers to have enough fat so that they remain tender when cooked.
My guess would be 3 star mince is perfect for hamburgers, given it appears to have the ideal fat content.
2 star is often better. You need the fat content for decent burgers, something like 25% is ideal.
What mince do you use for burgers?
They’re extended with water, starch and hydrolysed vegetable protein (one of the fillers in sausage rolls and pies, also used as “vegan mince”), plus preservatives and colour to make up for all the shit diluting the meat
Just buy actual mince and mix it with garlic powder, salt and pepper
No onion? Plenty of water in many supermarket minces (Aldi especially ime) which makes for a not particularly great cooking experience and reduces the meat flavour.
so many things which one is it
100% Australian Beef
84% according to your link…
You're both 100% correct and 100% incorrect.
100% of the 84% of the beef is Australian.
The other 14% is just various chemicalsThe other 14% is just various chemicals
Water, Garlic, Olive Oil, Rosemary, Parsley, Rice Flour, Onion, Canola Oil, Rosemary, Cracked Black Pepper, Salt, Sugar, Yeast Extract, Herbs & Spices, Mineral Salt
Was $12
They were $10 last week, not $12
Typical Woolies approach, jack the price up (blame inflation and suppliers), offer a half price 'special' and hope consumers don't notice the normal price has gone up. Smoke and mirrors marketing.
My mistake, I just checked the receipt and it was $12
You paid full price for these? Money bags!
You paid full price for these? Money bags!
I did, then saw them in the catalogue for half price after 5pm same day… 🤣
@illusion99: And here we have a jv in their natural habitat, pushed up against a wall after writing jibberish on OzBargain and being questioned about it.
For $6 it’s worth giving a go and forming my own opinion. Will pick some up
My kids ate them the other day and didn't complain.
Let me guess, they are probably not your biological kids if they didn't complain about anything. :P
Why?
Rofl. Wickedly whimsical.
Throw them in a bowl and form you own patties
Pop these bad boys on jumbo burger bun with a little bit of lettuce, onion, pickles, mayo, ketchum, cheese and you got yourself a homemade Whopper with Cheese Royale 👌
And a little tasty sprite to wash down that delicious burger
Just have a deconstructed burger and consider all that yumminess as a salad 😉
I had them tonight and cooked them on my
Gas Webber, and lost track of time and killed them (my bad) so they ended up dry and sausage like. They smelt amazing before I destroyed them.They technically aren’t sausage mince from a legal definition, but the reality isn’t much different
Smelting them was your first mistake, hence the destruction.
Hopefully they didn't lose their genitalia in an unfortunate smelting accident.
Just mould mince into a ball and you're good to go
Just mince mould and you can go anywhere your brain desires
Wasnt impressed. Rendered away to nothing. Texture is wrong.
Grab some mince and make your own…same price…inifinitely better.Rendered away to nothing.
Mine didn't…
I don't think you got these same ones…
Definitelty these. Maybe some quality control/ variance in there. Shrank like a chip packet in the oven!
Always. 2 or 3 star mince, preferably the former or just use Brisket etc or perhaps mix with a bit of pork.
Keep it simple!
2 mins per side max.
at $1.50 a patty that is pretty cheap.. frozen beef pies are around that price
All of these premade supermarket burgers are bad. Here's my burger making tips that I've figured out after years of trying to make decent burgers
- Don't buy coles or aldi mince. They use an extremely fine grind and it does not work. Woolworths is by far the best, and it IS enough to make excellent burgers.
- Get the 20% fat version; the others end up dry and like concrete.
- Strictly DO NOT work the mince, otherwise you're going to end up with dry, spongy meatloaf. Grab your 150g amounts or whatever size you like, and do the bare minimum of touching and pressing to get them into patties. Unless you're doing the smash thing, but that's a whole other ball game.
- You can season them with whatever you like, I usually go for salt, pepper and garlic powder as others said.
- You should divot the center with your thumb, because it blows up and becomes the last bit which cooks, so you want to get ahead of this.
- I can't go past mustard and pickles and cheap plastic cheese, but obviously toppings are all preference.This is not all that terrible advice, unlike what I usually see regarding burgers
However I will add, don’t season your meat before shaping - season the surface just before grilling. Pre-seasoning with salt draws out the myosin from the meat and gives it a gluey sausage like texture, as myosin acts as a sort of protein bonding glue, which all mixed up between the patty turns the meat dense.
Thanks for the tip! Always looking to perfect my patties.
Can't believe how many recipes suggest adding a bunch of shit like breadcrumbs, worcheshire, etc and mixing it. Beef, salt, pepper, that's it. You'll nut yourself once you do this and form patties without mashing the mince.
You can do whatever you want. I've used mince, onion, zucchini and carrot and they came out beautifully.
If I want to follow the culinary experts, sure I'll do chuck, brisket and short rib, freshly minced at home.
My only must is grilled onion as part of the assembly. Not in the burger, but I've also seen one recipe that makes a sauce out of charred onion, and uses cooled down grilled onion in the raw mince.
They're even better without the carrot and zuchinni ;)
I'll do chuck, brisket and short rib, freshly minced at home
A very good idea, and damn close to perfect, but I’ll add that brisket is best minced finer, added to the diced chuck and short rib, and then minced coarsely
Perfect steps for a perfect (and simple) burger! And the extras in my household are almost the same - Burger, pickle, mustard and some thinly sliced red onion lightly rinsed under the tap. Cheese is this - https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/681781/dai…
I've found the potato buns at Woolies are good too - https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/217401/tip…
Had a click, it's actually 84% Australian beef. Then 16% other shit
Just read someone else's comment above saying the same, sorry…
While I'm here though - was lucky enough to be given a decent food processor recently, bought and blitzed a chunk of brisket from aldi and made some amazing burgs. Obviously only applies to people with these machines but never buy pre-made burgers again
Make your own , always
Agree with everyone else. These supermarket burgers look appealing but they're generally pretty awful, these included. There's something about the texture isnt right, i don't know what exactly
Made with canola oil, hard pass!
Click on the link at the top and go to deal and Woolies lists it with Canola oil
It indicates that the caramelised onions were cooked using canola. Don't now why you're anti canola (personal choice) but the amount present would be tiny. Also note the garlic was roasted using olive oil.
@Igaf: Seed/vegetable oils are very bad for your health, hence why I won't buy products that use them
@mhz: Interesting. Evidence suggests otherwise but we're all free to choose our poisons so to speak.

i bought these after seeing the post….. awful.. they're basically round poor quality sausages. not recommended at all. just get your own mince. seriously.
Buying your own mince with no rubbish in it, even if its slightly more expensive is a way wiser choice for your health. These are full of shitty unrefined oils and probably soy which curtails all the good nutrition in the meat, especially the fat! Hard pass x 2
Ok so somebody has pointed out that there is no oils, but still a bunch of other unnecessary rubbish added. Of course the obligatory "May contain soy" which is code for "we intentionally add it"

Eh ?
