Some of the nicest frozen burgers ive had are from Asda. "Extra Special 4 Aberdeen Angus Beef Quarter Pounders" . Worth giving them a try

"All fur coat and no knickers" describes them well...........😂😂

Packaging looks like an expensive chocolate bar...🤔

5% Japanese Wagyu steak trimmings. The bits that no one wants! Cheers Gareth. 👍

I'll carry on making my own Gaz, the quality of shop bought burgers has really gone downhill lately.

I'm getting more and more disgusted with these prices. The big stores and companies are pushing there luck.

All these food companies are having our pants down with there inflated prices, poor products, also I've noticed on a lot of product that they've lowered the grams by 5-10% without saying a thing, if they increased it by 10% they would make a song and dance about it on the packaging.

So expensive for what they are! I'm glad you tried these, so we didn't have to! 😂🤣 I've been getting them Aberdeen Angus burgers, 4 x 1/2 pounders for about 3 quid, they're GRRRRR-E-A-A-A-T!

Gareth looks like you overcooked these. Wagyu due to the extremely high fat content is intended to be only heated through and served a little on the rare side to avoid the "shrinkage" and excessive fat rendering. Still love your videos!

The raw burger on the packaging looks gourmet. The actual raw burger looks like cat food!

Scissors are referred to as a pair as you quite rightly said, because of the two cutting edges. No too sure on these burgers. Keep up the good work, have a spot on easter

Love the way you recover after something goes wrong, I laugh with you not at you.😆

For a start, the price. I buy Aldi Oakhurst brand frozen beefburgers with onion for £1.89. For that price you get 6 tasty burgers. But it was only near the end of the video that I realised that there is only 5% Japanese wagyu beef in the Iceland burgers. They are overpriced.

Another class video as always! Have you thought about trying that Webster's in town? It's the new Gasto burger van next to b&q, always has a massive queue

Wagyu beef has a high fat content, it's because of the fat it's marbled and so expensive. A5 Japanese Wagyu costs in the article I saw in dollars $225 for 100g

Gareth that was classic gold watching you cook them burgers so funny 🤣

the old onion burgers that you could actually watch shrink as they cooked , only now they call them sliders and charge you more for them.

As you say Gaeth, the packaging is more impressive than the actual small burgers.👍

I don't think I could justify spending that much money. Thank you for sharing

This is one of my biggest pet hates a ton of packaging for not a lot of actual product only for the main product to be potentially cheeped out on in some cheap cuts with onion & other fillers. Although I am thinking of trying them but with most things I'm unsure if its just me with did taste buds or something else in trying to find that certain something in burgers from the supermarkets as I'm thinking of checking out one of the local butchers near me to see if they offer something.

I think you have overcooked them and rendered the fat out, which is why they have shrunk so much. I'd go for a very quick fry / grill. Would be good on the BBQ.

They cook in their own fat and that renders down.. hence the weight loss..maybe I should render myself down 🤣

That's a good point about the scissors 😂😂

The packaging looked like a perfume box! A good review as ever

Packaging looks really good. That's all I have to say about that. 😂😂😂😂

Thanks Gareth, I think its all being said from the luminous green glow on opening the box. To your demonstration of The Wagon Wheel Syndrome (Old v New) done in 10 minutes! 🤣 Follow on video how to make your own bio-diesel from Wagyu Beef fat! Soz!

You literally just saved me!!! Saw these and was going to try them!! Ended up buying 2 Rustlers deluxe bacon cheeseburgers instead 😂

My Mrs picked me these up a few weeks ago !...just seemed like normal burgers to me !

Lost over 40% in weight once cooked, that's ridiculous considering the price

Gaz, Costco sell a brand of Wagyu burgers called ‘Finnebrogue’. Think you get 8 for £10. Had um on the BBQ last summer - absolutely sensational!! 😋

Slimming word advert giving us all a cheeky talking too!!!!

I think they broke up because you flattened them out. Had you left them and cooked slowly they would have been ok, with a little shrinkage, of course. Shrinkage is all around, everything is getting g smaller.

That's a really useful review as I WOULD have bought them based on the packaging and 'wagyu' meat. Thank you Gareth 🙂 🙂

You’ve got me thinking about bloody scissors now lol 😅

better bite from some Aberdeen Angus beef burgers me think. I got Wagyu burgers once and i had the exact same reaction. I felt that for the price they were a let down. Can't go wrong with a bit of Wagyu steak if you can afford it though but Wagyu beef doesn't make great burgers. The intermuscular fat is just too much so you pay for Wagyu burgers but like you said. You're likely getting regular beef with a small % of Wagyu otherwise the burget would just melt apart. Horses for courses and i think the Aberdeen Angus wins the burger race.

Wagu too expensive for the cost of living crisis

I remember the days when the only burgers you could buy were pretty much Bird's eye and they were basically all onion and no meat.

I love this channel ❤ reminds me of the type of videos when youtube first started 👍

I still buy burgers in a tin. They are lovely.

These started off as burgers, and ended up as meatballs. 😅😅 seriously £5.50 for that is taking the mick massively. Top end video, done by a star of you tube.

With the fancy packaging I thought you have been shopping at Harrods. I would have probably bought them so you have saved me some money 👍

They look a little like Aldi specially selected range but put me in notion to make a burger well done Gareth

We have bought wagyu burgers from aldi from the fresh meat section, they were lovely I would highly recommend them

Lol pound burgers the rest was on packaging 😂 bless yah taking one for the team.

Just another 30 secs and you would have made your own charcoal briquettes . A thin smashed burger like that takes just about a minute or two each side notbten !

I know exactly what you mean about the nostalgic burgers as a kid. I know you may not want to mention the name but they were Birds Eye burgers with onion. I have to confess it's my dirty secret I still buy them occasionally 😂

Talking about old burgers in the 80s. Do you remember Farmfoods used to do a burger with beans on top enclosed in breadcrumbs, they were amazing and they stopped making them.

I can’t say that I’m actually convinced about even trying them. The way you described it, it didn’t sound all that appetising. Just being honest. Thanks again, as ever, for a great review. Above all, honest.

Thanks for this, you've saved me some money ❤

I think you have to cook Wagyu more delicately. With such a high percentage of fat, you're going to get a lot of shrinkage if it's allowed to render down. The fat content is the whole point of Wagyu, so cooking it off defeats the purpose.

Great burger review: as it's Easter weekend. These burgers look a bit too processed for me. Would you try cooking them in the pre heated air fryer to reduce the shrinkage. Save the fat as you can't find beef dripping anywhere.

You should do the tinned burgers in gravy from Asda, they probably have more going for them than the £5 a pack frozen stuff😂

10% fat mince, salt pepper( U can add Tabasco or Worcester sauce) roll some in a ball in your hands to get the fat to mold to the meat, then put some cling down and put the ball of mince on it and cover with more cling. Get a side plate and push down until u get the thickness u want. Always lift with a fish slice or spatula, never handle the raw burgers after or they will come apart and put into the pan using a fish slice or spatula. Cook on one side until slightly over brown and then cook a little less on the other side. The result is perfect burgers without the additives.

They all shrink a bit ,but they look large starting off, £5.50 mind you they'll still be radioactive ,good look on that front 😂✌️

Totally defeats the point of wagyu beef

Can you do a video of trying something compared to making your own for the Same price or less, I could of made a better burger for cheaper than just the price of them two patties, great videos mate, and the humour

I tell you what Gareth. Last week I went to the butchers and bought beef shin which is one of the cheaper cuts. Got a kilogram for £10. Sealed it in the pan and cooked it in the oven at 190c for 30 minutes and it was brilliant. Compared to those burgers, probably 10x better and a lot cheaper

I tried the aldi wagya fresh burgers 2 were about 4.50 I cooked them in one of those George forman type grills, fried some onions and had in a bunch with cheese slice I was well impressed 👌

Thank you for helping us save money.

You should have put the burger in the pan then flattened then down with the turner spatula, much easier by far 🙂🙂

I'm glad to see your not paying the outrageous price for Heinz ketchup! Are you thinking about Birds Eye burgers? They shrank to nothing, but they tasted good.

On the packet, they look like the red Rowntree’s Fruit Pastilles, giant size!

Try out different types of juices it’s been time Gaz

Your honesty is First Class Gareth 100%

To be fair the selling point of wagyu beef is it's texture and taste as an actual steak, so the idea of selling it as a minced up burger seems like a way to cash in on the parts of the cows you can't sell as steak. It's probably pretty much the same as any other beef burger.

Q, How economical is your oven where you had your burger buns? Compared to a normal electric oven?

From what I understand Wagyu is very plump fatty meat so it doesn't really surprise me they shrank. But they do look good regardless

2:55 says it's got 'rice four' in it... Yikes. Super fancy box but they leave a typo on...

I think I'll give them a miss. Thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜

Wow, that's an incredible loss!! Well done on using the scales, I bet you were dying to say it 😉😆

They look nice I remember birdeye burgers like you say they shrink you put four on they make 2 burger at best but they had a Special taste old school Best wishes Gareth

Hi Gareth,after watching your wagu burger video,i thought I’d ask you if you have noticed that Brisket is more expensive now than a roast beef joint,same size,apparently it’s because brisket as become really popular with barbecuing 🥩🥩👍

5% Gareth, imagine the price if they were 100%? You would have to mortgage your house to buy them? Ha ha! Cheers Debra xxx

I had them and found them to be far too expensive. They were yummy and I agree with you that normal Birds eye burgers have the same or similar taste for me. They are a treat but a once in a life time treat. I can't see me paying that much money again for any burgers. As for all the fat don't waste it. Add onions and bacon and add to the burger. Another great video.

The packaging certainly doing whats its created to do - sell!

Don’t know if you have it in any of your other videos or have reviewed it but when you were doing the Aldi wagyu you mentioned bacon would be a nice addition, well in Aldi Ireland here I get their bacon mayonnaise, a game changer!! Look out for it if you don’t already have it.

I'm with you Gaz, I loved those little Findus and Farm Stores burgers we could get in Asda (Asbos). Lots of shrinkage especially on the barby but lovely flavour. These look the same recipe except they've been ponsified with the 5% wagyu scraps they have mixed in with them. I suspect you are paying for the packaging rather than the product. They might have been better leaving them in their original shape and adding some lettuce, tomato and pickles and maybe a slice of possessed cheese. Crazy price though...yikes!

Haha, such shrinkage. It's like Kobe beef of Japan, the worlds most expensive beef, but does it taste any better?? I doubt it. A great vlog.😊

I love me a cheap burger :) That packaging was extremely pleasing to the eye. Guess thats how they get ya cos i would deffo pick these up if i saw them in the wild.

Good video again. Think I'd have set the fat aside and glazed the burgers with small amount of cranberry sauce or ham. But really a high end burger shouldn't need anything adding to it. Not even for "slippage" 🤔🤔.

Found these in my local Co-op. Just picking up the box says it all. Not much more than half full.

You could buy lean beef mince. And put in what you like and it is best results.

"Well that shrunk quite a bit" That's what she said

T'Asda "essential" beef burgers, just over 10 bob apiece , right enough for me. They're handy enough for lobbing one or two in a stew, as well. Would'nt "stand on" with those Brioche buns though. They're 4 bob a chuck in t'essential range.

When you look at the box first in the thumbnail, it looks like luxury soap

I find with those type of burgers you have to sear them first then slow fry them. However in reality who actually does that. And it won’t change the cheap taste the onion gives it. Best part was definitely you fighting with the breaking in the pan. Good show👌

Just like magic ! Start of with 2 , 4oz burgers and end up with one 4 oz Pattie.

Hey Gaz👍 wow £5.50 for 2 😲imagine going back to your childhood with £5.50, I wonder back then how many you'd get? 🤣Great vid mate✌️

It would have been interesting to see one burger flattened and the other not to see if there is a difference. Real Wagyu beef is extremely expensive and will never get one for less than £20. Given only 5% is "Wagyu" is misleading to describe them as Wagyu. Lovely packaging. Probably cost £4. Great video as always. 😂

It is a snobbery buy, Just a buger, Great review.

I will stick to the Aldi deluxe burger, still a bit pricey but not as much as those you had.

They didn't look that small when cooked. Cheers!

I've never bought a pre-made burger that tastes better than just spending £2.50 on 500g of 20% fat minced beef, forming it into 4 burgers and generously covering them in salt and pepper. Cheap and tasty. Cheesy slices belong on a burger but use some Stilton if you want to make them posh

Shocking how much oil and fat that came out of them especially at that crazy price. I always buy the 4 pack 1/4lb Aberdeen Angus burgers 99% Angus beef very little oil comes out . Love your honest assessment

I had some wagyu burgers from a Japanese chain called Tokyo Tokyo in the Philippines for about three pounds, and they were up there with the best burgers I've had. And they looked a bit better than your end result Gareth lol. I don't think they squashed them down like you did!

Hope you didn't eat them on good Friday as the fires of hell awaits you 😂 you definitely got screwed by the shiney box...something I would do🤣

Going back to service life, We used to get a burger van roll up most nights, the Burgers were bright red and immersed in hot water and there was boiled onions, all stuck on a dry roll DELICIOUS I can not find these said burgers anywhere

5% Japanese WAGYU you have to laugh .... Catherine Tate come to mind "f kin liberty" 😉 so glad you review these products before we get ripped off 👍

Love your videos Gaz, but that turned out like a camels turd. 😂

Your hired for the burger flipping job at McDonald's 😂✌🏽
