FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are Gourmet Lite Beef Patties pre-cooked?

Yes, our patties are part-cooked before freezing. That locks in flavour, helps them stay juicy, and means they cook faster. Straight from the freezer to the plate, no stress, no worries.

Can you cook Gourmet Lite Beef Patties from frozen?

Yes – our beef patties are designed to be cooked straight from frozen. Just remove from packaging, cook using your chosen method, and make sure they reach a centre temperature of 75°C (piping hot).

How do you know when your Gourmet Lite Beef Patties are cooked?

Your beef burger patties are cooked when they’re piping hot and reach a centre temperature of 75°C. If you don’t have a thermometer, make sure there’s no pink remaining in the middle and the juices run clear.

How long do frozen beef patties take to cook?

Because they’re part-cooked, Angel Bay frozen beef patties cook quickly. From frozen, they take about 13–15 minutes on a medium heat pan or BBQ, turning every 3–4 minutes.

Do Gourmet Lite Beef Patties shrink when cooked?

Angel Bay patties have minimal shrinkage compared to many raw patties because they’re part-cooked before freezing. That means a better bun fit and a more satisfying beef burger.

How long can you keep patties in the freezer for?

Keep Gourmet Lite Beef Patties frozen at -18°C and use by the best-before date on pack. Staying sealed and properly frozen helps protect flavour, texture, and quality.

What meals can you make with burger patties besides burgers?

Angel Bay patties are incredibly versatile and can be used in a range of quick and easy meals. Try slicing them into wraps, crumbling them into tacos or nachos, serving them with mash and gravy, adding them to rice bowls, or pairing them with a fresh salad for a simple high-protein option.
